Doll Family H Discussion

Anyone know how DF-H normal yellow compares to Fairyland normal? I already know their normal pink is much lighter and pinker

 

I can help with this, the body in the picture is df-h's normal yellow, headcap is from my Honoka who is some months old, foot is from minifee body that was made in 2012 if I remember correctly (=it has mellowed due the age while the headcap hasn't)



Pic was taken under neutral color ringlight since my room is otherwise so dark that you'd be seeing vague blob only in the picture otherwise. ^^;

Overall, I'd say it's not a bad match, fairyland is bit pinker and darker but I think in natural light you probably wouldn't really notice anything is too off + the mellowed foot to be looks even closer so it would age to match even better. Though to be fair I don't know how the Df-h body will age yet since it's under a year old too.

 

Does anyone have a photo of the 58cm girl body with the large bust? In their photos, they only show a complete doll in the medium bust, and the large bust is so much larger I am having trouble visualizing what it will look like on a complete doll. (27cm vs. 24cm.)
I am looking for a realistic and mature-looking body around this size (most bodies in the upper 50s look like young teenagers.) It's for body for a Magi's Chau Lai which 19.5cm and IMO, a very realistic sculpt and a woman's face. Thank you!

 

I took a few pictures of my Lu Xian and the new 68cm body. DF-H Deer 68cm 2.0 body

 

@Cloudedmind oh he's absolutely stunning his face is everything i could hope for and the 68cm body look amazing, i've been really impressed with doll family bodies before and this one defiantly looks like it poses great i'm so excited to get my boy i'm hoping he ships out soon

 

What are your thoughts on this body? It looks very promising in your pictures as far as posability is concerned. We're waiting for that body too, I think. Maybe not so long now anymore^^

 

@Enchiridion You're welcome. Yeah, DF-H is quickly becoming one of my favorites in regards to posing.

@Mandagore I would say the body is a pretty good poser. Sometimes the knees and elbows want to pop out of place when trying to engage the double joint, but if you just push at the peanut itself, it'll engage.

The chest and belly locks work well, even if not very aesthetically pleasing when in use.

The one negative is the mobility of the head on the neck at least with the Lu Xian head, the range of motion isn't great. I tried other doll heads I have on the body and they had good range of motion. So, head mobility will likely depend on which head people end up using with the new body.

 

Really great photos for demonstrating posing, I wish all doll makers tool photos this detailed!

 

Oh wow, I have an older head I would like to put on this body and she'd probably match like the foot!!! Fantastic, thank you so much, @digi !

 

@Cloudedmind Thank you very much for giving us your opinion, seeing as you are somewhat of a doll mobility buff^^ That sounds good to me! And if all else fails, one can always mod a head/ neck for better mobility. But honestly, I too was wondering why they put those holes in his upper torso joint, as they become visible when he moves... it really marrs the aesthetic I think (ours is going to be a dancer character, he got the ballet feet with the body).

 

Thanks! Yeah, one of the reasons why I try to take pictures the way I do is because so many companies don't. Artsy dramatically lit photos are nice and all, but some clear shots of a doll should also come standard.

You're welcome! While the holes aren't pretty, they do allow him to slouch forward pretty deeply, as the holes allow the elastic extra moving room. I may eventually get around to doing a comparison of the body with the DF-A 68cm body.

 

Oh, I see, I hadn't thought of that. So that makes sense then. The old aesthetic versus function problem^^ I have no problem with that as long as it makes sense, all the designers have to compromise somewhere...

 

I got my second DFH secondhand and I'm in love! But I must say, I expected the yellow to be very yellow, but irl it's even more yellow than I expected. Which, gladly, suits my character so it's fine.
I got guard LuXuan, with the fullset faceup, he's so pretty! Gonna post pics later

 

Hi everyone! I’m still waiting on my Xiao Chan. I have gotten a pair of eyes for him that are most likely place holder ones. I think I’ve found another pair I will like better, but before I order, I would like to know what size eyes people use for him. BJDivas say 12-14mm. I typically use 14mm for my SDs and 12mm for MSDs and Yos. But since he is 1/5 scale, I worry that 12mm may be a tad too big for him. I tend to go a size smaller than the recommended size, so my dolls don’t look like they have big puppy doll eyes.

So I would like to ask, if anyone here has a Xiao Chan, can you show me what he looks like with 10mm? Or at least 12mm? That way I can determine if 12mm will work if I should go 10mm. Thanks!

 

Ordered a tan Oswin. Excited, and I have no idea what clothes he'll wear haha.

They keep releasing things I love. This will become a problem.

 

Doll Family H 63cm girl body in Switch rosy white , do you think that the color could match with a feeple60 head ? Also Could it fit a head of feeple60 ? Thank you

 

I don't know if you mean Fairyland white, but switch rosy white is like a very very pale normal tone with pink undertones, so I don't think it's gonna match any of Fairyland resins.

 

The normal skin of fairyland could match with normal skin of doll family ? Thank you so much

 

After over 14 months, my DFH Chad finally arrived.

 

Our LuXian twins finally escaped China! It will be a bit until they get painted, but we are super pleased with them so far.
Absolutely garbage picture, but whatever.

Took a little wrangling, but I managed to get them to share the clasping hands.
