Dollmore Judith Girls discussion part 1

I agree the photos make her look darker than the earlier Suntan Amaranth. It looks like two of us have ordered Maxima so far: Marlou and myself. I ordered the Black version. I didn't add myself to the Waiting Room, however, as I already have 2 dolls on it and didn't want to look like I was ordering every doll in sight!

It's been a little over a month since I ordered my first Zinna. It feels like forever. I want my doll!

I have a question for those of you who already have Judith girls. Can you position the tooth piece as you want it or does it lock into one position? With my Narae I can show as much or as little of the teeth as I want. I wondered if Zinna was the same.

 

I went with the black version aswell. Turns out they don't swap wigs for the full sets, but they're gonna send me the one I wanted as extr gift anyway - dollmore's customer service has been amazing so far; they're very prompt and kind.

I was wondering that about the teeth part too!

 

I can't position mine, it does fit in there tight enough that it won't move. I always intended to mod or paint mine to show less teeth, but so far i haven't XD

 

[MENTION=26466]VampireAngel13[/MENTION] I looked up your Zinna on your flickr and she looks amazing!

Mm, maybe you could paint the bottom teeth part in a dark color to achieve that effect?

 

I thought of asking for a wig swap, too. Then I figured I have so many wigs already (I'm a wig junkie) that she would have plenty to choose from when she gets here. But it's great that Dollmore will send you an extra wig, basically just for asking. I haven't run into any other companies that will do that.

That's disappointing about the teeth fitting tight, because I really like the look of parted lips with only part of the top teeth showing. I guess I'll try painting the bottom part. That way it's easier to go back to the original state if I change my mind. A mod is harder to reverse.

So I went back to the Waiting Room and added my Maxima to the list. Now if only one of them would come.

 

I tried valantly to read from the beginning of this thread to find an answer to my question, but got impatient - LOL! First, @vermont chick, my favorite source for Irish/Gaelic names (complete with pronunciations) is http://www.babynamesofireland.com/

Now for my question(s). I bought a Dollmore Fashion Model Doll and as soon as she arrived, I realized that while I like her body (not as voluptuous or as tall as the Judith), her head is really small. Not as pinheaded as the Chicline, mind you, but still small for both her body and in relation to my other dolls and their bodies. So what does this have to do with Judith Dolls? Well, I'm considering getting the Zinna head (the only one available currently for individual purchase) to use in place of the original Misia head. Fortunately, I think Zinna is beautiful!

Has anyone tried hybridizing these two, by chance?

Do you think the skin tone match is the same? The body looks to be a pink normal and while still not as pale as my DOD boy, she's pinkish, for sure.

The noted sizes of the dolls' necks are different. Interestingly enough, Dollmore indicates that the FMD's neck is 6.5cm and the Judith's is 6cm. Would modding the neck/neck opening work?

Oh, and since Judith Dolls are all LE .... what would be the "default" faceup if I chose it, I wonder?

Thanks for listening! I hope someone can help, otherwise I'll be looking for yet another doll for this very particular character.

 

[MENTION=69614]Marlou[/MENTION] thank you! I need to get more pictures of her! Which can be said for all my dolls really...
lol I did paint her teeth part at one point....but I was lazy and didn't' seal it before or after and it flaked off as soon as it dried! I'll try again if it ever stops raining and do it for reals because I agree, she has too much tooth. Which is funny because I don't feel that way about my DM Ujee, whose teeth part is the same size if not bigger.....giant teeth are part of his charm XD

[MENTION=45043]Kirahfaye[/MENTION] I have no idea how the fit/proportion would be (no fashion dolls here), but Dollmore's measurements are unreliable (Zaolls and Adams are wrong for sure). If you can measure the neck yourself just to be sure, it would be a good idea. I'd measure my Judith head for your but I'm at work (Boo work. Boooooo).

As for color, I saw a fashion doll a million years ago at a BJDC and I didn't notice any extreme color diff from any other Dollmore doll I have ever owned (in fact, just from looking at the joints and color I knew it was Dollmore - there was no sign posted with her) so I think you should be fine. I don't think they've had a big resin change since around 2009 and Judiths aren't that old. Plus, they all yellow the same, regardless of age, so eventually they'll match! XD Zaolls are the only difference - for some reason they get a pinker resin.

I have no idea about the faceup - I order blank whenever I can. Mine has a very nice (I actually love it) but pretty basic face....maybe it'll look like that? You could always ask! They're pretty good at answering the Q&As.

I don't even know what model she is as I got her from DM at Dollism, and they put fullsets on different dolls...whatever they had extras of I guess. Or cancelled orders. My friend got one too and we're pretty sure she's a different doll than the one in that fullset as well! I don't really mind. The fullsets are so gorgeous, but none of them are anything I'd use. I just wanted the doll! XD


That was a lot of words for very little help....

 

@ kirahfaye Thanks for the Irish name source! I've only spent a few minutes looking at it, but already I've found several names I want to use. The pronunciations are super helpful.

 

Thanks for the info, @VampireAngel13

I measured my Misia's neck and it is exactly 6.5cm. So if someone could measure their Judith doll neck, I'd really appreciate. Also, I sent Dollmore an email asking pretty much the same questions, but it probably won't be until tomorrow before they answer. The S-hook on the FMD is .... fancy. I don't know if Judith Dolls are similar.

@vermont chick, glad to help! Between that site, my trusted (and out of print) Irish Names for Children book and Behind the Name, I'm pretty set for Gaelic/Celtic names.

 

Well, I finally snapped and ordered the Russian-Princess-inspired Arasa Blue. I'll post pics when she arrives. I'm still trying to figure out how to post pics here, but I believe I need a photobucket account? Is that right? I'm sure I'll sort it out before Judith gets here.

 

@kim_peanut, you can post from any site that can house photos (including your own website if you have one). I use Flickr.

And as an update, I got a reply from Dollmore and it appears that, at least to the employee who replied to me, the Judith Doll head will indeed be too big for my FMD body. Now I'm at an empass. Well, thank you all for indulging me and helping me with this issue.

 

Yay! Someone finally ordered Arasa Blue! I thought about ordering her myself when I was choosing my first Judith because I love the outfit. My Dollmore spree is over, however, until I earn more doll money. Congrats on your order kim_peanut. I can't wait to see pics. I use Photobucket for photos, but many people use Flickr.

@kirahfaye, I didn't know we could post photos from personal websites. Does that hold for blog sites, too? Mine includes Google storage. There are times Photobucket drives me to distraction. It causes something on my computer to crash. It would be so much easier (and less time-consuming) to import photos from my blog.

I'm sorry to hear the Judith head won't work on the fashion body. I'm too new to Dollmore dolls to have any suggestions. Until my first one arrives I won't know how she compares to resin colors from other companies. Good luck finding a substitute.

 

[MENTION=55742]vermont chick[/MENTION], I don't know about blogs and such. The photo would actually have to be housed on the site (have it's own url) - at least as far as I understand it.

And, well .... I just bought a Zinna head from the Pirouette MSD doll off the MP. Crossing fingers she works for my character!

 

Congrats on your MP find! Pirouette is one of the dolls I ordered. You do know that the Zinna head on the ballet kid is the same as the Zinna head on the Judith body, don't you? If she doesn't fit your FMD body, maybe you can try her on a MiniFee body.

As for using my blog photos here, I've been thinking it over and it probably won't work. Blogger automatically resizes my photos for display on my blog, but I suspect they will be too big for DoA.

 

Hey, everyone!

While I don't have a Judith/Zinna doll, I do have two Dollmore Catish Reaa dolls that use the Judith body. Therefore I'm very curious to know what clothing works on the Judith body. Is there a compiled list somewhere?

Thank you!

 

I kind of figured it was the same head. The seller told me she wears a 6/7 wig so if that's true she *might* not be too bobbleheaded..... I should have her mid week or so to find out.

Is the skintone similar to the MNF? My only normal skin MNF is from 2010 and has yellowed nicely so I have nothing to really check against. I did order a Liria, so when she arrives I can see - but that won't be for several weeks.

 

The website says she wears a 7/8 wig. I guess it depends on the wig. Some 6/7s have more stretch than others.

I can't answer for the resin match yet, as none of my Judiths have arrived. DM's website says 30 business days for production, so it should be soon, taking into account their 3-day vacation at the beginning of the month and a holiday in early June. Anyway, as soon as my first girl arrives, I'll compare her to my FairyLand resins and let you know. My most recent normal skin is an FM60 from this year. My MNFs are older. I'll let you know.

 

Kirahfaye: My Zinna wears 6-7 wigs too~ The 7-8 she came with fits her only because Dollmore sent a silicone cap to prevent the wig from floating around too much.

 

Thanks, y'all. I'm crossing fingers that the Zinna head works. I'll post pics either way.

 

7/8 tends to fit them pretty well. I have a few 6/7 that are stretchy and fit. But I usually go for 7/8.

I have a MNF A-Line body I can photograph one of the heads on if you would like.
The body is white, so I would do it with a white head, but I have a PKF that is normal skin I could compare to one of my newer Judiths.

I'm usually the go-to for Judith information because at this time I have 6 of them. Haha [3 Normal, 2 White, 1 Tan]
Plus about 25 other dolls. :P

Sorry for the late reply. I was on vacation and just got back today.
Usually I see posts in here sooner.
