Dollshe Discussion - Part Seventeen

Hello,
I have a question (searching didn't help) about dollshe hybrids. On what body the Grant Philippe's head (70cm) can fit well without mods?

(New guy, Neo, is amazing!)

 

Hey all after almost 3 years I finally got my Rey Lewis pose plus body boy. I got him unstrung because like heck was I paying a shipping increase thinking “I’ve restrung tons of dolls”.

I now think I I’ve done something wrong in stringing him because his body keeps wanting to do non posey wonky things. Is this bendy odd nonsense just what the pose plus body does or did I do something wrong?

would love some Insight on which top arm and leg socket is left and which are right. Or maybe a video

 

Maybe post a couple of photos of the body, so someone here that has it strung properly can compare?

I found it unhelpful that none of the arm and leg parts of my 18M Pure body had R and L labeled inside the joints.

 

@miffimifster I find their bodies to be unruly. Hot glue sueding does wonders.

 

@Hikari-chanXx. For the re-released Hounds, Dollmore Model Boy and Alice’s Collection clothes are a pretty good fit.

 

When will the new head for prince 72 release?

 

Officially, between Feb 10th and March 9th.
But we know that can change…

 

Thank you!
Which size would I go for with Alice?
Do you know if any of Luts sizes might fit? They have such nice stuff (and somehow I don't get charged customs for Luts so I like ordering from them)

 

The size to choose is 70 cm. For reference, I bought these pants: Boy Outfits, BJD Outfits - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls, BJD Accessories - Alice's Collections.

I have not purchased Luts clothing but comparing measurements for Luts Super Senior Delf and the re-released Hound, I suggest looser fit clothing. Luts dolls are a bit slimmer so those adorable skinny pants probably won’t fit.

 

Been away from doll hobby for a while, but just recently dusted off my boy and washed his clothes. I feel like i'm new to bjds all over again. Hello



(He's browsing Pinterest and jobs)

 

Welcome back, @golo. Is your lad a Grown Bernard? I haven’t seen one in the wild. He’s gorgeous!

 

@tenukihandcrafts Thank you! He's an Arsene sculpt but Bernard is also a sculpt i've always liked.

It's been fun getting back into it.

 

I think I've asked before but it's probably in an archived thread or three back, but does anyone know what would be a reasonable match in another company to Dollshe oriental honey mango? I'm asking for me and a friend as I have a spare Hound head with a beautiful face-up I'd prefer not to wipe and I traded yet another of the Hound heads I had (also with a gorgeous face-up) with a friend, so we both need bodies for said heads.

Since Dollshe isn't producing the honey resin anymore and finding the specific colour 2nd would be challenging (especially times 2), I'm hoping there's something reasonably close in another company. I know the honey resin has a translucent sort of quality that opaque resin doesn't and that makes matching more difficult. Last resort would be to wipe the face-up but I would like to know what's potentially closest to make the matching easier on the face-up artist.

 

I got my Pabo back from Angeltoast for a faceup refresh (amazzzzing work as always and was able to match the original work they did back in 2012, woot!) -- he came out so nice I literally never see any Pabos in the wild so I'm excited to be getting him picture worthy again. He's on the DSAM 35s body and let me tell you he definitely needs to be restrung lol. But I love the neck joint and I ordered my King Corey with the L3 body with the neck joint (originally I ordered the L4 type in freaking 2020 but of course, shenanigans now and that body isn't being produced anymore ugh, fingers crossed for no more changes ugggh). Anyways. PABO

 

He's stunning! You're definitely right, there's not enough Pabo's out there.

 

Hi y'all Maxi Adonis owners! Which eye and iris sizes do you prefer for your guys? I'm choosing to live in delusion and believe my Adonis head will arrive in two months. After all, I only waited 4 years last time...

 

I saw Leo on sale on Dollshe and I'm so tempted bc the sculpt is gorgeous.. But i'm not sure if i'm ready for all the drama... TT

 

As always when Dollshe puts the price of the 16F Diana down to one of his stupidly low sale prices I am tempted. Still resisting.

 

Still waiting on a pale Saint ordered July 2019. Is the sale still a bargain to you if it takes 3.5+ years? Don't assume you'll be an exception. Even if it cost me 3x, I'd go secondhand or find a different sculpt if I could do this over. It's become a point of bitterness that has threatened to sour my experience in the hobby as a whole.

Not worth the stress, in my opinion. If the hobby is worth investing in, it's worth investing in keeping it fun.

 

He suckers you in with incredible sale prices and then leaves you twisting in the wind for literally years. Saint is a common sculpt for Dollshe and pale is one of the basic colours. There's no reason you should still be waiting this long for your doll @Havra.

I still love the Saint sculpt but after my spin around on the Dollshe merry-go-round waiting for an espresso Saint in the 55cm size that never happened (and I believe that size has STILL never been produced even though it was first put up for pre-order in spring of 2018) I'm not sure I'd be able to own a Saint without feeling a bit... irritated because of that past experience.
