Doll Family H Discussion

Hey guys,

Sorry if this is a noobish question, I'm considering getting a DF-H Edwin but was wondering if I could get him on 65cm body? His head is like a tiny bit bigger than standard 21cm. I believe he comes in at 22.5? Would his head look odd on the smaller body?

I want him a bit smaller because I think he would look strange towering over Faith who is just 58cm but 65 would have just the right amount of loom. (Shrug)

 

You can email the dealer you are getting the doll from, and ask if they can work something out for you.

 

Oh awesome, I'll ask them when I get the funds together properly! Thanks

 

Hi, I wondered if anyone had this body? Doll Parts, Doll Family - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls - Alice's Collections
I'm thinking of getting it for a huge artist head I have, but would love if anyone could show me pictures/tell me about their experience!

 

Anyone able to weigh in on Doll Family H's normal skin yellow and pink skins vs Harucasting's Volks?

Contemplating a hybrid - but realised I've only got an example of DFH's normal yellow to hand - which is a fair match, nothing a little blushing wouldn't correct but the Harucasting Volks definitely has pinky tones to it.

 

I can weigh in on the normal pink, it's much like Impldoll normal pink. Very light in color. I can also report, having played with my 63cm female body that it's a great poser and I really like it

 

hello anyone did a hybrdi with switch rosy white skin with dfh white skin? is it a good match?

 

I don't think it is! I own a rosy pink head and the color is pretty similar to other resins I have that are normal pinks (I have DFH normal pink tho and it's a little darker and more pink than Switch rosy pink). It's actually pretty similar to 2DDoll normal pink, even if a little lighter in shade.

 

Thanks! Actually, double-thanks - that's the exact body I was considering too! Sounds like I should go for the Normal Yellow then - Impldoll pink skin is pretty pale in comparison to the Volks-ish tone of this head. (I'm totally doing an another annoying hybrid, of the Little Rebel Andre sculpt is generally considered male, and on the larger side of the 8-9" range - the 63cm girl is mostly being considered for her relatively broad shoulders...)

Really pleased to hear it's a good poser too! The character this doll should be shelling (this is like my 2nd and a half attempt to shell her lmao) is a bit of a cheeky youngster who hangs out with Amanda (Rainman Kira) wanting to join her elder in her thieving escapades and a fashion victim/flighty hair decisions/convenient clotheshorse type (aka, gets all the clothes and wigs the other dolls don't want/can't wear)

 

@Vetinari So, I happen to have Little Rebel Andre and the DF-H 63 cm girl body, and could put together a hybrid for you, if that would be helpful to see. My initial guess is that the proportions might be unbalanced, as Andre is a fairly big head, but it's largely a matter of personal preference so of course take my opinions with a grain of salt. Have you considered a bigger female body like Iplehouse EID or HID, or Impldoll starwoman 65 cm or idol 68 cm? I have the idol woman body and could put that hybrid together as well, so that you can compare proportions between that hybrid and the DF-H body hybrid and see what you like and don't like. For more information about the posing and aesthetics of the DF-H 63 cm girl body, you can also check out my review, it's posted in the Photo Reference section

Quick disclaimer, it might be a few days before I can get around to taking hybrid photos if you request them, but I promise I won't forget

 

Ooh thanks - photos would be wonderfully helpful!

Gah yeah I'm a bit too used to this struggle - I've got actually got several larger/taller girls in my group (including on the broader-shouldered front, an Impldoll Idol girl, a Dollshe 26f, and the seemingly vanishingly unpopular 5StarDoll Superstar girl body which I think, single joints included, is an absolutely wonderfully sculpted body). Mostly due to my horrible horrible habit of hybriding sculpts that the sculptor intended to be male onto female bodies. Two of my taller ladies have heads in the 9-10" range who I just barely managed to get bodies they looked roughly proportional on (the Dollshe 26F/Dollstown hybrid and my 5Stardoll lady), they tend not to get photographed standing near the others! (Especially the extremely petite Rainman ladies...) I specifically wanted someone who was short-ish, and the 13.5cm shoulders on the DF-H lady seemed like they might be wide enough to get away with? The Dollshe 26F mostly works with the exceedingly large Dollstown head, and the 14.5cm shoulder measurement always felt a slightly generous estimate of their width.

 

@Vetinari Ah, so you're specifically looking for a smaller build for that character, makes perfect sense! (Your collection of large ladies sounds amazing, by the way ) I should be able to take some photos of the hybrid within the next few days and I'll tag you when they're posted. I'll also take some measurements to confirm accurate shoulder width and neck circumference of the DF-H body. If there are any other measurements you're interested in, just let me know and I can get those numbers for you as well

 

@Gamine Thank you again! Yeah I'm mostly focussed on how the head will look wrt the shoulders, even some neck gapping wouldn't really be the end of the world (both my female Dollshe Bernard and female Dollshe Saint inevitably deal with that issue due to their large head-socket to neck size - in some ways I think it actually helps posing).

I'm sort of planning on the medium bust for this girl, with the knowledge that though she'll be shorter than most of the other girls in my group, with those shoulders she'll probably end up stealing a lot of the taller/larger girls clothes rather than anything from the shorter ladies. (I think size-wise she'll be most in line with my Dollstown 17F girls/Spiritdoll Proud lady - and they've all got very different styles.) I'm vaguely hoping to give her a slightly punky face-up that'll look (semi) decent with a range of hair colours/styles, so I'm hoping she'll be able to do similar on the borrowing clothes front! Since, the character is very much a cheeky younger sibling who 'borrows' outfits and never gives them back type.

 

I'm not great at posing, but I did do a few poses which you can see here.

 

Thanks for the photos! Looks like she's a fabulous poser/a body to earmark even if she doesn't work out for this hybrid. (July (if I'm identifying her correctly) is a relatively large head too if I'm remembering right?)

 

@Vetinari , not really, I think I have a size 7/8 wig on her, and she is a lot like my Impldoll heads, but smaller than Fairyland's F60 or F85 "traditional SD" sized heads. But she does have a larger neck socket for the bigger necks (but some bodies like Iplehouse would still need adjustment as their neck posts are mushroomed out a bit (bigger)

 

I wonder if anyone has tried to hybrid a Switch head on the 62 male body yet? I was thinking of it for my Huisa.D and Ajeong.C... I think my worry is that they might look bobble headed. Wondering if anyone has owner pics of the 62cm body in general? Would love to see more photos of it!

 

@myuupi I don't have the DF-H 62cm body but I have other bodies in that size range. Huisa.D could possible work because of his younger looking features. And Switch does mention that he's compatible with their 60cm body, so perhaps comparing measurements between the two could give you an idea of it it'll work.

As for Ajeong.C, I own one and personally I don't think he looks good on anything smaller then 65cm. I'm even thinking of putting mine on a 68cm body.

 

Ah thank you! This was very helpful!

 

Hey everyone! Apologies if this has been asked before, but I noticed DF-H has the option of 'imported' vs. local resin and I was curious if anyone has had the opportunity to compare the two.

I really love their sculpts- I don't think I've ever seen such a wonderful array of body-types! I am however curious about this option and wanted to gather some opinions.
