Doll Family A Discussion - part 2

Hi there everyone

I just ordered a Suyan head to go on my DF-A 68cm body but wondered if anyone here with a Suyan could measure his head for me because I've had 2 DF-A heads before, bought wigs in advance of their arrival & found the circumference listed massively off? Their recommended eye sizes are never right either ha-ha!

 

My DF-A 68cm body, ordered via Alice's Collection, came within 3 months. Same with 2 blank DF-A heads... actually one of them arrived in 2 months.

 

I have that body & I got the 2 part torso as personally I'm not a fan of the whole 'resin underpants' look but I'd imagine the range of poses he can pull off will be better with the 3 part.

He's very solid & sturdy standing unaccompanied & his posing ability is pretty decent too. DF-A resin is lovely & smooth with zero seam lines.

I measured him quickly & most of the measurements listed at Alices Collection are correct but I found the hips to be 1cm less on mine & the narrowest part of his waist is just under 20cm. Also his feets are 8x3cm by me. Hope that helps ^__^

 

Thank you so much for answering my question! Now to figure out if I should actually go through with this plan.

 

Wow! Thanks Dobby for all the info!

 

You're welcome... just realised I added an erroneous 's' and wrote "feets" - whoops!

It's a really nice body especially if, like me, you prefer a more slender male doll rather than the more prominent 'beefcake' look.

 

@dobby Thanks fore the info! Hopefully my big guy will ship soon then.

 

If it helps any (sorry I'm late to the party) I'm a crazy person who keeps track of when I buy dolls and receive them on a spreadsheet..
I did a layaway with my Jiuyu on 01/08 through Alice's Collection, had him fully paid off by 03/01 and he arrived at my house on 04/03. So it was right at 2 months.

 

Not crazy! I do the exact same thing.

 

@Angelesk That's actually a really awesome idea. Wish I had started something like that.

 

Lol. It really comes in handy sometimes!
I also put how much I paid for the doll, where they were purchased from, if they were limited, if I expect them to appreciate or depreciate in value, any distinguishing features, sculpt name, resin color and what I call them.

It's really more for my family if worse case scenario happens, but it's become a habit. I wasn't always this crazy, I swear!

 

@Angelesk I downloaded one onto my phone today and input all the orders I'm currently waiting on. I love it! XD

 

So I grabbed a pair of DFA 75 cm jointed hands that were in stock at Alice Collections yesterday, and added a Susu head since they're so inexpensive...and I have really been liking the pics I've seen of him.

Do you all like their jointed hands? Are they nice? How big is Susu?

I'm hoping he'll go on a body I have already (which has a head, but I think it looks too large on the body now that I'm so used to pinheads), and if he can, he'll get some mods. Eventually. Cause that's how I roll...

 

@VampireAngel13 I have two pair of their smaller jointed hands for their 65 and 68cm dolls and I really like them. I thought they held poses well, and they came strung. However, they're also the only jointed hands I own so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

 

Thanks @Cloudedmind I appreciate your opinion! I mean, if the only hands I had were Dollzone 65, I'd still hate them XD So that you like the DF hands, is great!

I hope they fit the body I bought them for. It's using RS hands right now and they're only just about worth the price I paid for them. I would like some hands that have some mobility in the fingers....

 

@VampireAngel13 If you have some hand poses you'd like to see I can try to get them for you this weekend.

 

@Cloudedmind thanks! I really can't think of anything I need. I hope the fingers can spread lol but I don't have any real desires other than that!
They have already shipped O_O so I guess they were really in stock!

 

Susu is fit for 60cm and up. I have him on an Island doll 60cm that I dyed.

He does look a bit bobble headed on the thin Island doll but he is wearing a lot of clothing with wide shoulders so it doesn't show.

Can anyone recommend what size I should go for when shopping for DF-A 70cm male body?
Taobao shops/etsy shops appreciated. Thank you!

 

@SteamWitch thanks!! Believe it or not, he showed up yesterday (while Dad was in surgery!). when I finally got home I was able to relax a little, and I tried him on the body I wanted him to go on - good news is, it works great proportionately, but he needs a little modding to fit the neck. I'd rather do the head, but I don't think that's an option, so, neck mod.

The bad news is, the hands don't work at all - they're way too big! Something I didn't even think could happen XD which was super-depressing because after Soom, they are now my favorite jointed hands by far. They're really nice!
I tried them on my Dollshe 28M body and they work for him, so now I have to figure out how to paint or dye them red and black so they can be Spider-Man's hands. Which will save me a ton of modding. Sadly I have like, 7 extra pairs of Dollshe hands now XD
