DollZone mini Discussion Part 15

Hi. That's the body I just bought. Xiao Chu's head is 17'8, so I guess it will fit a standard 18cm MSD head.
I bought it in peach skin for a 18cm DF-H head in normal pink. When I get it, I'll let you know how they fit together.

 

That'd be much appreciated! Thanks!

 

Hello, maybe someone know how to put headcap (it doesn’t have magnets) to old dollzone head (I have very old Dollzone Mo)?

 

I think you're supposed to somehow get the s-hook through the hoop on the headcap to attach it to that but honestly? I just made very thin small strips with Blu Tack, placed those on the edges of the scalp and pressed them together for a moment, his headcap stays on perfectly fine like that.

 

‘I think you're supposed to somehow get the s-hook through the hoop on the headcap to attach it to that’. I tried to do so, but it is impossible). Thank you for advice).

 

@Lailiren - I usually use masking tape to keep the magnetless headcaps on. I put a strip onto the back of the head where the cap and head meet and it's mostly enough

 

I loop a small hair elastic through the bar in the headcap and use a crochet hook to stretch it down to attach to the s-hook. It keeps the headcap on nicely and makes it easier to remove without pinched fingers.

 

Thank you for advice! I will try it.

 

Did anyone buy the Devil beast ver? I received my girl yesterday and love her but.................her faceplate doesn't seem to sit on quite correctly!

It's like the headback is slightly too small. I can't get the edge to line up properly. Almost like the faceplate shrunk in casting lol.

 

I finally got around to ordering a replacement body for my dollzone carter!! I've had him since like June 2016 and he's been naked and stuff this whole time because their old 1/4 male body was super hard to shop for!!
I'm really excited for it to come in!

 

@lynxie - that's a very cool-looking doll! I'm sorry about the headback not quite fitting! I wonder if you could do the old "heat gently in warm water and then mold the parts together" trick? I've heard of people doing that with headcaps that didn't quite fit - perhaps it would work in this case?

I have a question about resin color that someone might be able to help with. I have some bjd heads in "Mia White" that are coming in soon. Would Dollzone Peach or White be more likely to match with them? I've heard that Dollzone WS is more yellow-white than paper white, but I don't know if that's still the case (and I haven't seen the heads yet, so I don't know how white/pink/yellow they are).

Thank you!

 

My Shadow (the wyvern from the P-Studio/Dollzone collab) came in today. I ordered her in black about...4 and a half months ago?

You guys, these dragons are stunning. They aren't going to win any rewards for poseability, but the level of detail in their scales and teeth is amazing. I'll take photos tomorrow in the sun once it's warm out. I'm so happy I ordered this bad boy in black, the color is so rich and deep and I haven't noticed any sanding marks.

For anyone else getting theirs, the box is HUGE. It's mostly foam however, the little dragon is surprisingly light and small. I can easily grab mine with one hand (I need two to carry my DV 1/4 dragon and prefer to use two when carrying Whale Tower's Rafayeh).

 

so exciting! i can't wait to see!

 

Oh my gosh I'm so excited to see photos!
I wonder if wiring or sueding would help poseability?

 

@Grimalkin @middletails Sorry for the delay, it's been really rainy and chilly here! So wet I can't set my little wyvern down anywhere that isn't soaked ;O;

When it's back in the 70s and sunny I'll try to take some size comparisons with the dragons I have that aren't unstrung.

@Quiet and Insane wiring will help a little, especially with the wings (they're heavy for the frame and tend to droop). The torso not so much. I'm not a fan of the locking shoulders/hips either, DZ did the same thing for their 1/4 Yin-Long and I'm not crazy about it lol. When I work on the dragon I'll see if I can hot glue suede over it.

 

Absolutely stunning! I love the black and kinda wish I ordered it in that resin color now haha. Also are the shoulder kindof glued in place? It looks like it could move the the interlocking segments, but I wasn't able to do so...but it seems like your joints could move?

 

AHHHHHHHH! he's beautiful!
i love the black. i should have just followed my heart . I'm wishing I'd done it too.
i love his face so much. thank you for sharing, and I'm also interesting in hearing if the sueding and/or wiring works out for you.

 

@middletails maybe there was some hot glue sueding that melted in transit? I've had that happen with a couple of my dolls. I can pop the shoulders out and move them easily!

 

Ahh! Okay I see...after I saw your reply I just kinda gave the joint a bit more tug and was able to move them! Needed a bit more effort is all! Thanks!

Edit...instead of spam posting...I'll just post here. My white resin Shadow chilling on top of my couch. I need to find some space for him...decluttering is a go in the New Year.
