Dollstown 17 and 18 year boys and girls - Part 2

@aihre DT just posted this on Instagram. He's updating the knee joint on all the taller bodies to a new system. I had placed my order for Yujin anyway but I did have concerns on standing and it's such a relief to hear this!

 

@lutke Oh, that's promising! I'll be following that. Glad to see how Jonghak is refining the sculpts.

 

When they are available I will absolutely order some for my 18 yr old girl body!!

 

I should have my Yujin in early January (I'm dying to have her home ) and I'll post a review once she arrives. I was a bit frustrated when I searched for info on the 18 girl body, because most of the feedback is very old and doesn't even cover the 2016 knee update, so a fresh review would probably be useful.
After I placed the order, An Jonghak told me that he's been using a better casting method since he went independent, and new dolls should be more accurate to the master due to reduced shrinking. Between that and the new lock on the knee I'm confident that there will be no issues with standing.
She's also going to be sanded (I'm so glad he made the option available) and fully painted. I've got high hopes for this doll

 

I am thinking you will love that hefty girl!! The weight and solidity of my Seola-13 on that body always feel in a sense, reassuring and opulent to me. Such a huge hunk of resin she is! I'm only 5'1 and a shrimp, which also may have impact there, but, still

 

@tanjalalie I'm looking forward to that! I've wanted to own a "tall girl" since I joined the hobby.

 

Y’all see these discounts comin left and right I’m hoping to put the 16year girl body in copper oriental skin and either Shinbi or Byula on layaway

Any Shinbi or Byula havers that can share photos of their girl/boy to help me decide

 

@krystina there are some amazing photos of Byula by Dale Zentner on Flickr.

 

Thank you this what I’m looking for

 

I had a Yeondu on the 13yr body about fifteen years ago. I sold her and I've always regretted it. Apparently her sculpt will return again someday, for which I'm glad!

But in the meantime, in taking advantage of this New Year's sale, I've just placed an order for a Teo on the 17yr II T2 body in Fresh skin. I like the gangly broad shoulders and the swimmer's build on that body. Looking forward to applying myself to making him his own clothes. He's going to be in the works for a long time, but I've got a well-defined vision for him. I'm so excited to get to have another Dollstown doll, and a boy, at that!

(edit to clarify that it's the T2 body!)

 

@hollyholly ooo Yeondu I used to daydream about having her, Bandi and Triste when I first started this hobby. I see they brought back Triste recently so we probably don’t have to wait much longer for her return

and congrats on placing your order for Teo Dollstown boys are stunning

 

@citronrouge How did the 16 girl body work out for you so far? The posing seems very nice and the torso joints are in the right places. I thought it would look substantially skinnier than the 17 (like the Vision) but it doesn't seem too far off.

 

I was wondering if anyone has downloaded the 15% voucher? I have tried to find but been unable to:

"It is possible to download 15% off coupon in the page of all product".

And also wondering if the updated 18 yo boy knees would fit the original release (bought in 2012), has anyone updated theirs?

 

@kyukyukyu you could send a mail to DT but since he sells separate knee parts I suppose they will. You can find the coupon on any product page, just scroll a bit down.

 

You apply the coupon when you're going through checkout once you've placed your order! You've already "picked it up," so to speak, since you clicked the button, so it'll be available as a choice when you come upon the discount coupon option in the checkout process.

 

To be honest i didn't touch her a lot, i didn't have many time to play with her. Her handling is less intuitive because it is a new body but no complaints to make about it for the moment. I'll let you know in few weeks when i'll take more pics with her.

Here is a new pic of my Elysia 17 and Hyun 16 together. Perfect sisters and perfect sirens

 

@citronrouge Lovely! Please do write about the body, as you said it's a new one so it's difficult to find much about it. For the time being the plan is to get another doll (Rian or Soi, I'll be sure when I actually commit) on the 17 around the end of the year - the current sales are very tempting, but I want to focus on my current dolls and I'm sure there will be another chance - but after then, I'm considering the 16 for a hybrid.

 

I'll do it

 

I found a stand that can handle her easily: the Ringdoll stand for their 75 cm boys. (I thinnk that is RD 5). It is a saddle stand - very secure.

You probably know by know that you can order the new replacement knees - they are about $25.00 - and you can ask for the same resin color. They are definitely more stable. Jonghak An did a demo on OG.

 

Thank you! I totally ordered them. So excited to be less frustrated with this boy xD Can you link the demo?

EDIT wait I see it!! Wow omg I'm SO excited! Such a small thing made all the difference
