Doll-Love (also known as DollLove) Mini Discussion Thread

My boy measures out as 46cm tall. He's from 2011 and I assume they haven't made any major changes to the boy bodies since then. I'm not sure if it matters for height but he's a God-Enjoy head on the boy body. I don't have DiM or Impl in MSD size so can't help there. But I do have AoD from 2008 (they've since change their bodies), RS boys from different years, Camilla Dynasty, MNF, DearMine, Illusion Spirit and OrientDoll if any of them would help.

 

Oh thank you, that helps a ton! I wonder how much AoD has changed their bodies...but if you care to share any extra photos of your Doll Love that shows more of his detail I would really appreciate it If not, thanks very much for letting me know his height, he's a taller boy and that's great!

 

AoD used to do wonderfully muscular MSD's as well as a beautiful tan. They just... stopped doing both those one day with pretty much no warning. Doll-Love and AoD are sister companies and the AoD boy bodies are now more in line with the slender look of the Doll-Love bodies.

This is Dak. I bought him in WS and had him dyed blackest black. He doesn't have a face-up and he'll never have one. The only thing I added was wickedly long eyelashes. Most people never even notice that he doesn't have a face-up until I point it out.


As you can see, there's not a lot of detail to the bodies but if you're looking for a slender boy, they're definitely the right line. He also stood like a rock straight out of the box and I've never needed to suede him or anything. He's got a decent range of motion and there's a nice heft to him but he's not super heavy. There were also zero seam lines on him anywhere.

This is the only nude shot I have of him, but if you want/need more pics or want to see him next to other MSD's I can do that for you.

 

That is wonderful, thank you so much! You describe him as slender, and is that strictly because of his style of sculpting, or because he's just a thin doll overall? What I mean is, I know MNFs have a very muscular option for their boys, but overall I've found their dolls to be on the smaller side. Same with BBBs and RS's, they are very thin dolls overall. Personally I'm used to dolls with a little more "heft" if you will, even if they are slender, so I'm hopeful a Doll Love body will still have that.

 

I'd say it's style of sculpting more than him actually being skinny. If you'd like, I can take some pics of him next to my RS boys, my MNF (which is the beauty line body) and the old AoD body, which is quite muscular. Dak's husband, Tyhlian, is an OrientDoll and comparison there isn't going to help you much as the OD dolls are smaller than a lot of MSD's in height, head size and general body shape.

I can take photos tomorrow but the quality may not be stellar as the lighting in my apartment sucks in general and is even worse when the day is overcast like tomorrow is supposed to be in my area.

 

Do the 1/4 size dolls wear a 7-8 inch wig? I just want to be sure before I start down the road on buying all the goodies for my new doll.

 

Yes, they do.

 

Your boy looks awesome, @Iron_Dog! Great dye job! I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to dye a doll.

My Hugh wears a 7-8" wig.

 

He turned out great although I wasn't the one to dye him as I wasn't that brave. I sent him out to a modder to do it for me. I think I would be confident enough now to dye a doll, but he was dyed several years ago and I was worried about messing him up so off to a modder he went.

 

I want to share Sparks again because he now has a body And a smashing outfit. (and a backpack, because of all the touring his character does)

I did not know it was possible, but this young man is growing on me even more.

 

Sparks looks so cool. He looks so cute in his outfit.

 

Sparks is awesome! Love his jointed hands. Always happy to see more Hughs!

I have a comparison photo that shoes my Doll Love boy next to about six other mini boys. Would that help you? If so, I'll find it and post it here.

 

It snowed today, so I decided to snap some photos of my DL Hugh outside. The snowman is actually an artificial one I made using recycled paper and glue. (Today's snow was too soft to build with.)

You have a very handsome boy.

My Anais (Anona). The photo was taken in the X BJD festival, professional photographer. Festival theme was "magic." Anais portrayed summoned demon. Make-up, wig, clothes and wings handmade by me. If someone is interested to show the entire composition as a whole.

 

Thank you! He is my favorite among my collection, so I'm always happy to learn others enjoy him, too.

Anais looks great in this photo! I especially like those big wings---great job! Did you make the horns, too?

 

I bought the horns. I paint them myself.

 

Hi! I just ordered my first BJD, an Evol!! I am super excited for her to arrive, fed ex is saying Wednesday!!

 

@bethwy Congratulations!!! Hopefully we will soon see your doll.

 

How awesome! Congrats on your Evol!!

 

He is a cutie~! He kind of reminds me of a character I for in the works (he will also be blond and blue eyed), plus I am a bit of a sucker for the half lidded eyes. And funny enough, my first doll was also a doll-love boy who happens to be 3 years old too!
