Dolls from Angell Studio? Good or bad?

I have made special orders with Denver Doll and I was never charged extra because they had to order it for me. I have never heard of any agent that did that. I would recommend ordering from them because they have great customer service and I always get prompt responses from them during business hours.

 

OK

Thank you :3

 

Absolutely 10/10.Repsonses within 24 hours,they're a really nice bunch and you don't have to use Paypal if you're not comfortable using it.

By the way,anyone know the waiting time from AS?Denverdoll ordered her for me and they said it takes about 6 to 8 weeks.
So far I've waited 6 and I just want to know roughtly how much longer to go.
What's your experience with a Gus girl also?
Thanks

How is the quality? A - B+

Did the dolls look like the ones in the photos? Um let me see. My boy looks different in person yet the same. However the photos were on a tan doll, mine being white. I think my boy's faceup was making him not look like the photos, the eyebrows are way too thin and the lips too light. He will be getting a new faceup here soon.

How is the posability of the doll? Love his arms and hands and especially his legs and feet, lol. He poses like a dream really without too much effort! The waist joints are a bit stiff and at times, but it might be the fact he's strung way.too.tight. ^^; Overall very nice and his body moves smoothly into position. Not kicky, and sturdy when stood up or put into poses. One thing I might add that needs work is the faceplates. Boy's head went flying at the smallest tap trying to reposition his head. I would like to see stronger magnets or they stop doing the faceplates.

What kind of skintone do the dolls have? Many kinds! white to butter to tan, etc. I went with white which is a nice cream white. A little darker than say Luts or Soom, so he's not bone white, but I really love his white color! Its very nice!

Good for the price? I'm actually rather surprised by the quality of the resin and everything overall. The clothes are very well made, the wig as well. Only thing is the boots smell sorta funny >.o but I'll live. I've had lesser quality resin in my possession before, and their resin is nothing like that. Up there with my other dolls in terms of quality. I think for the price its pretty good. Especially since I ordered a 70cm boy, lol.

How was the customer service?
Great, they got back to me on any questions I had. No problems whatsoever speaking english.

How was the packaging? Did they send it with a carrier bag?
Super extra perfect! My doll was securely wrapped in bubblewrap plus a sleeping bag like pillow which I totally adore. Then placed in a shipping box. I felt he came to be extra securely. A+ in shipping. I also recieved a lot of extras, and Angell Studio is a lifesaver! They included several facemasks, some string and a wire to restring my dolls which helped me restring a few dolls I had lying around. Also a full package of eye putty and some other assorted freebies.

Is the store reliable?
Yes, however all those fees and shipping costs are confusing. They need to write it out directly what the cost of fees are going to be before you place an order so you don't get surprised when buying. ^^;

How is the resin smell?
I chose no smell, and the resin smell was great, no overwhelming bad smell at all. The shoes do smell though.

Anything else you can think of, please let me know!
I'm a total fan of Angell Studios after recieving my doll!

 

Here's my question: are they AS dolls made with french resin? I like the look of the bodies, but I'm not too sure about french resin.

 

Yes they are made of french resin and I think its lovely. ^^

 

I agree! I LOVE the French resin on my Gus girl! It's SO smooth and nice.

 

I am new to the resin thing so I cannot say much...

I will see my first dolls tomorrow at a meet-up >w<

I'll ask if anyone as a AS doll or French Resin

 

Trails,
I have an AS Senior Vera and a B&G Sharon. I really like the feel of the AS resin, it's really smooth, like they say "just like jade." I think it's really sturdy, I've never worried about it breaking.

When I put the two of them together my Vera looks kind of translucent. The french resin isn't shiny at all, whereas you can see some shine on the boy's body.


I personally haven't had any issues with yellowing or staining, but I do have the UV coating on her. The only instance of slight staining was from the eye putty, but it doesn't show through and with some cleaning, came right up.

 

My only worry is I keep hearing it starts yellowing pretty early. And you're right, it kinda makes them look translucent xD I'm trying to look for a body to match a head I want.

 

I think their 1/4 dolls are French resin, but 1/3 dolls are Japanese resin. Or at least, so it was some time ago. Maybe you could ask them if you can choose what kind of resin you want for your doll?

 

I think someone said earlier that you could not XP

And that they mixed the resin or something like that so it does not start to yellow like other french resin... and the uv whatever coat helps a lot

In the end I did not get to the meet-up so I could not ask if anyone had AS dolls XP

 

So, now the second time comes to post here after Awa (VAN) was freed. ^^

How is the quality? Very nice, he's heavy with very nice details . So are the clothes, wigs and eyes.

Did the dolls look like the ones in the photos? Definitly! ^^ Right out of the box still with no eyes, hair or clothes.

How is the posability of the doll? I have no problems posing him into every positione I like to. He's not too loose or too tight and keeps every position. ^^

What kind of skintone do the dolls have? White skin with blushing. There is a big difference visable compared to their pink skin but it's not like chalk or paper, it's still a skintone. The blushing is a little more brownish-pink (compared to Mayou).

How was the customer service? Great like always. ^^

How was the packaging? Did they send it with a carrier bag? Very good again with bubble-wrapping, caps, bag over the body and this wonderful AS pillow-bag.

Is the store reliable? Yes in my opinion.

How is the resin smell? It's vanilla scent again because I love the smell on Mayou and wanted it for Awa, too. It's great.

Anything else you can think of, please let me know! I got a restringing tool again and two pens. ^^ I read of face-plate problems but there is none for me. The magnets work really well and you really have to pull strong before it moves (I really feared he would lose his face in front of me).

How is the quality? Beautiful

Did the dolls look like the ones in the photos? Yes He looks a little peculiar without the faceup, but the mould and body are virtually identical looking

How is the posability of the doll? EXCELLENT. He stands really well, and the double-jointed body is really great

What kind of skintone do the dolls have? My boy is tan, and I haven't got another tan doll to compare it to, but his skin tome is only a very slight bit darker than my own. It's definitely a 'tan' colour rather than a darker brown. Perfect for my Arabic prince

How was the customer service? Very good

How was the packaging? The packaging was the only thing I could fault them on... He was sent in a kind of sleeping bag thing the same as my Vera, but other than that there was very little in the way of protection. I have contacted their English rep to mention the utter lack of bubble wrap and she's assured me she's passed it on to the Packing office The only other problem I had with the packaging was that the faceplate magnets aren't strong enough to withstand the shipping process and slipped off. This has badly scratched his body blushing and neck, so I'll have to have him re-blushed and re-sealed which is really annoying >_< Again, I've mentioned this to Hedi.

Did they send it with a carrier bag? Yep! He came with a lovely sleeping bag carrier the same kind as my Vera

Is the store reliable? In my experience, yes. I've never had any problems with them, apart from them forgetting to include my Vera's outfit with her but they shipped that once I mentioned it at no extra cost to me. Other than that they've been brilliant!

How is the resin smell? I can't smell anything peculiar, but I'm not sure how resin's meant to smell

 

Hey, first post here(:

From what I've read so far Angell Studio seems to be reliable, right? I'm contemplating getting a Hua Xi as my first doll, but so far I haven't seen any owner pictures of Hua Xi or his gay partner friend, Yan Di. I might've missed it by accident though. But um, I just wanted to ask, does anyone know if they look as similar as the official photos as the other dolls?

 

Got my 1st Vera on 29-10-2008..

How is the quality?
As she's my 1st bjd n im still quite new to dollfie, i cant really compare to other dolls.. but her resin feels quite smooth to mi.. very beautiful~

Did the dolls look like the ones in the photos?
I ordered her w/o face up.. so she doesnt really look like the 1 in the company profile.. but i compared her head with the one in the internet.. yep~ it looks like her alright XD

How is the posability of the doll?
She can stand with no problems at all! tried a few poses was looks quite ok to mi oso~

What kind of skintone do the dolls have? (really pinkish, normal fleshy skintone... comparisons with other companies?)
I ordered Milk Pink for my vera.. considered normal fleshy skintone..

How was the customer service?
i give it 10/10. The person who attend to mi was hedi and she really replies to ALL the questions I've asked her. and those replies were received from less than 24 hrs.. Knowing that i'm getting vera for my birthday present, hedi specially included a birthday card for mi.. so sweet of her

How was the packaging? Did they send it with a carrier bag?
the packaging was ok i think.. yep~ a white carrier bag with their logo embroided.

Is the store reliable?
i can say very reliable!

How is the resin smell?
i ordered her with elegant lily scent.. but somehow i cant smell other than the resin smell she had on her..

 

Both are relatively new sculpts. They were released in the past month or so, I think. There may not be any that have made their way into owners' hands yet. Keep an eye out, hopefully we'll see some soon. I've got m eye on Yan Di as my possibly next purchase, so I'm looking forward to seeing owner pics too.

 

Has anyone got a Butter or Jacinthe skintone?

 

Well... I had a rather different experience with Angell Studio when I ordered my Lilith-SP from them. You can read my feedback post here:
http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3480731&postcount=4

Fortunately, after 4 months I finally got my money back.

I've read many people have troubles with Angell Studio from Hong Kong/Taiwan/China forums... which is a pity. :-/

The skin tone of my Lilith-SP is butter. She arrived in early June 2008. Here are some photos of her. These photos were taken at around lunch time, with sufficient sunlight in my room. These photos haven't been edited at all.





I hope this helps!

 

WOW!! I thought Butter was more..... butter XD

Someone should really make a comparison of the 4 colors you can get from AS...

Now I do not know which one I want XP
