Doll Family H Discussion

It took some time, but I succeeded in my quest to hybrid better-looking hands to my Kanadoll Mars / DF-H65 hybrid boy.

I thought I'd gimped myself by ordering a resin-matched body, but thankfully Kanadoll's normal skin (for Mars, at least) was matched to Volks pureskin fair/normal in the first place, so the DF-H 65 body also matched. I was able to hybrid Volks SDGrB hands successfully to my boy. The Volks wrist balls are a smidge large, but overall they look great.

How DFH managed to sculpt such a good-looking 65boy body with such lacklustre hands is beyond me. They don't even have palm creases reeee I won't miss them!

Doll tax. I'm still delighted with how Vallant poses.

 

Aihre, congratulations! The new hands look awesome!

I’m practically OCD when it comes to nice hands on boy dolls.

So happy that worked out for you.

 

@Rabbit-moon Thank you, I also love beautiful hands on my dolls. Everyone in my house has lovely hands... except Vallant. That was intolerable and needed to be addressed. I'm glad this has a happy ending, and Volks makes plenty of option hands, so I have choices for Vallant now!

 

I've ordered the 58cm (when with head) girl body for my Merry Doll Round Fang head (older, discontinued) via Christina at Clover Singing. I'm hoping for a nice resin match, but I'm not too fussed either way. Also, very delighted with YouGuang and YeZhong, as always. The 68cm body without the waist joint is a dream to pose.

 

Oh Nissa! Would love to see your boys, and especially the 68cm body..

I've been thinking about that body, but wanted more owner info before I buy it

 

@Rabbit-moon Oh I'd be happy to share! Anything in particular you'd like to see (posing, etc)? My boys are in DF-H's pink resin and so far have fit pretty much all SD17 sized clothing. I adore them both tremendously.

 

Just had my DF-H 68 2.0 body that I ordered via their Taobao on 1/08/2024 ship.

 

Nissa, by all means, share away! As, I said, I would love to see your handsome boys. But I would love to see their posing abilities, too. Also, would love to see how pretty the body is. Is the jointing nice?

Congrats Astro! Wow! Another 68cm boy. Hope we see pictures of it. What head are you planning to use with it?

 

@Rabbit-moon I have these photos on hand, will get a few more today. The DF-H body is the taller of the two, pale pink. The smaller body is a Dollclans body that unfortunately doesn't pose very well at all, however I managed to get it to do a few things for these photos.

Specifically for the DF-H 68cm body - I love the poseability, he's able to sit, stand, sit with knees tucked up under and resting back on his ankles, sit with knees hiked up and arms looped around or resting over. The chest joint doesn't pop around at random, it's nicely set in place and requires intentional movement to shift it forward or back. He stands very well, even on carpet, although I have cats that are inclined to come by and brush against things so I can't leave my dolls unattended. He also fits well on two different styles of doll stands, but your mileage may vary with those.

In ultra-specifics, his interchangeable parts magnets are Very Strong, which is a huge plus. A couple of my other dolls sometimes lose their pieces down their trousers and the like, or they'll bump off if jostled, but not this body. It's a strong magnet as well as closely fitted, such that my partner forgot they weren't actually fixed and could be swapped.

The feel of the resin itself is also very nice - solid, but also smooth yet very lightly textured? It doesn't feel quite 'toothy' textured, like Dollclans or Dollshe. I'm not an artist, but it feels like a texture that would be very lovely for an artist to paint, and would take sealant very well.

I'm planning on ordering two more of this body for both heads shown in the photos on the link - they're Dollclans Phython (both), and the DF-H body has a very, very slightly wider shoulder width. I feel this suits them well, so the plan is to order two in DF-H's ns/yellow and blush them to match the heads.

 

@Rabbit-moon I posted these pictures of the body a few years ago where I did some posing with the body.

Oh these are wonderful pics! It's very good to know that the waist joint also has locks like the chest joint (and that, elsewise, the two bodies I have are exactly the same insofar as thigh, knee, and shoulder joints). I'd purchased mine without the waist joint because usually this joint only ends up frustrating me with other dolls, but it looks beautifully engineered here. I'll consider it for one of my upcoming orders for this body for my Phython heads!

 

LuXian! I bought a body for my Migidoll Mercury when LuXian was released, and it was only like $15 or so more to order it with the head, so it felt like an IQ test and I ordered with the head since in general I like Mori9's work. Buuuut I like my Mercury too much for him to ever have to share a body, so I figured I'd just sell the LuXian eventually. Flash forward to a year or so later and I saw a really cutely painted LuXian around the same time as one of my fav artists (who also painted my Mercury!) had comms open, so I sent him off for a faceup just to see what he'd be like, and liked him so much I had to order him his own body >w<

I've been refreshing tracking like a madman. It's supposed to arrive by the 6th.

Both of my 68 2.0 bodies have the lower waist joint too. It's really sturdy.
I think I might sand their shoulder joint locks down a bit and replace them with silicone discs though, they generally do more harm than good.

 

@Nissa Thanks! I really like the body. It sits/lounges well, and is generally easy to move around. I'll most definitely be purchasing more.

@Astro Oh, who did your LuXian's faceup?

 

Sharonion! I sent him on a whim when she opened for comms late last year. This is him.

 

@Astro Oh I remember seeing him on IG. He looks lovely.

 

Thank you so much @Nissa and @Cloudedmind for the information and pictures on the DF-H 68cm body.

It’s a very lovely body. I especially appreciate that it is not hugely muscled. Hopefully it’s not too heavy.

@Astro Oh! The face-up on your LuXian is gorgeous! He definitely deserves his own body.

 

Does anyone have pictures of the 75 cm ver. II body? I'm looking for a body for an artist head, but I don't want it to be too muscular. So I'm curious how it looks in non-company photo's.

 

I got my second 68 2.0 body in today and it's a lot nicer than the other 68 2.0 I have that I ordered when it was first released. The resin feels sturdier and is much toothier to the touch. I think they either adjusted the shoulder joint locks or the nicer resin makes them perform better because they're a lot less annoying to deal with than on my first body. They also started shipping dolls/bodies in carrying bags.
It's a pleasant surprise, but now I wish my first body was just as nice

 

Mine is on the way. I bought it for Nightingale head, so I will be hybriding them as well

 

Here's my LuXian on his body
