Dollshe Discussion - Part Seventeen

hiya all!

I just recently bought a dollshe bernard second hand and he came with a broken s hook for the hand/feet (idk the difference tbh, he's my first dollshe) and I'm not sure what to do. I went to the dollshe site to replace the s hooks but shipping will be $33 for a $2 item... anyone else using anything else other than the s hooks that originally came with the body? any help would be greatly appreciated

 

I know this is wishful thinking, especially after reading Mr. Dollshe's recent post on his website, but it would be nice if Mr. Dollshe would release the F22, F11, T3, I1 size bodies with heads. It would also offer more options for hybridization. For example, I would be curious to see a Diana head on the unreleased F22 or F11 body, or the Rosa/Angela head on the F11 body.

His options for males are so much more varied for male dolls. In contrast he offers: M28, M24, M18 and then the other newer bodies like Supermodel and King.

 

Okay awesome thank you!!

 

It's been a while since I've taken photos of my dolls to share, so I chose this guy to dig out of the cupboard It has been very cold lately so here is Noah in his warm jumper:

 

Bernard, right? I think that Bernard is my favorite of all the Dollshe models, Saint is a close second. (5th Motif is next, but thay are not sculpted by the same artist.)

Noah looks very warm and your photo of him is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

 

Thanks oriscany ! Noah is a faceplate Saint, but Bernard is also a favourite sculpt of mine

 

Noah looks so pensive and daydreaming about the adventures he experienced.

 

Hello all! I bought a 1/3 scale Diana and she's strung with her small bust, I want to restring her with the bigger bust. Does anyone have a link to a Diana restringing video or guide? I've never strung a doll before and I am more than a little nervous, haha.

 

My Orijean finally has a face and body! And a 3D printed head back...he's a franken boy and the color match is bad but I'm thrilled to have my other favorite classic Dollshe sculpt!

 

@Thymeseer Lol, I have an Orijean faceplate that needs a headback, too. I'd bought the Orijean head with an extra SA faceplate as part of one of Dollshe's infamous discontinuation/stock sell off sales. The regular faceplate is Wu-Tyr and he'll never use the SA faceplate but it was being sold as a set, the price was good since it was stock literally sitting on a shelf and it was the only Orijean that was left so....

This is Wu-Tyr. My camera was playing fast and loose with the colour. There is a slight difference in colour since head and body were purchased a couple of years apart (and I don't know how long the head sat on a shelf at Dollshe before I bought it).

Noah!! Long time, no see buddy!
(Hope you've been well too!)

 

Thanks Dollibird, yes he has many secrets, I think!
Thymeseer your tan Orijean looks fantastic in white. Congratulations on getting him completed
Iron_Dog I love Wu-Tyr’s facial art, such a great colour scheme too.

Hi Q&I *Noah and I waving*. Man, it’s been an interesting few years, huh ? Hope you and your boys are well too!

 

@Saba he was painted by Meanist and they did an amazing job on him. He is the Elder God of Primordial Waters from my Divine Worship World.

 

My Bernard, Jagram, who I took out for some photos a while ago and never shared any them! This one is my favorite from the set.

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

@Saba - It's been very weird for sure! But the boys are still kicking around (or flopping I should say, their strings are in need of a little tightening)

@Idoru - He's so beautiful! I love the eyes you've given him, they catch the light so nicely!

 

Thank you! I made those myself, so I do want to replace them--they're a bit more obviously flawed in person... (Lots of bubbles--I'm still new to making eyes.) And they do gap a bit...

Actually, does anyone have any particular advice for eyes for the Grown Bernards? (That's the faceplate one.) I'm thinking some 14/6 urethanes...

 

@Quiet and Insane Noah needs restringing too- but he has no S hooks, so I am NOT looking forward to that job lol

@Idoru I agree with Quiet and Insane, your Jagram’s eyes are beautiful. Love the colour and reflective quality!
