To my understanding, Fairyland is the only great match with the normal skin. I did check this out at a meet, and it is a close match. A few pages back, there is some pictures from owners of Ddoll and other companies, including the Fairyland, and resin comparisons.
Mirrin, your Airi is beautiful! I just love that model. :3 And I love the cat! By the way, she has very pretty eyes. I still can't find the right ones for my Isabelle. I ordered another pair, so I'm hoping By the way - Lil Airi spam.
I'm considering making a hybrid with a Little Elva girl body, so I'm curious: how does it pose? I'm specifically interested in slouching ability, but any info is good.
Hi there! I wanted to share a picture of my darling, Lana, a DreamingDoll Bella! She isn't complete yet, but once her wig arrives she will be!
My Misora from 2011 is an okay, not great, sloucher. There's a pronounced arch in the back of the Little Elva body, so to even get them to look like they're sitting up straight, you have to make the upper torso slouch forward a bit. Once that's done, there's just not a lot of further "slouch room" available. YMMV, of course. If you can find a pic of how you want your girl to slouch, I can let you know whether my Misora can get into/hold that pose.
*adding to the Misora spam* Closeness von Wildcard_Snowy auf Flickr I really hope I'll get to work on my Hiro's wig soon. It's in URGENT need of finally getting styled ^^° On a side note: DreamingDoll normal skin MIGHT match Souldoll (not perfectly, but pretty close). Depends on the batches on both sides.
Thanks for the info. Yeah, in a lot of pictures I was seeing an arch (mostly noticeable in sitting poses), so it doesn't surprise me that it affects the slouching ability. In regards to pictures... here's a ref pic of the level of slouch I'd ideally like (nude doll warning). Is anything close to that possible with this body?
^ Yes, that kind of slouch in the torso is definitely possible, but what I can't actually get Misora to do (and this surprised me when I tried it just now) is look straight out ahead of her like that. If you see how the head in that photo is sitting on top of the neck, and how the upper torso is slouched forward, the head is actually tilted very far back in order to achieve that "looking straight ahead" pose. I have Misora's head tilted as far back as it will go, and with her torso slouching downward, her gaze is also slightly lowered. That doesn't mean there's no way to mod it or something; I just can't get Misora's head, when she's in that same slouch, to tilt back as far as the doll in the photo. Hope that helps!
Sorry, I'm jumping in a bit randomly... But I noticed Kaena's question and I thought that I'd link some photos that I took of the Little Elva girl body's posing in 2012. I have them hosted on my domain, you can find them here (NSFW warning for a nude doll). If you scroll down a bit, you can see photos of the slouch. I really liked the Little Elva body's poseability in general, and I hope that one day I'll be able to get that body back in my possession. :3
Thanks for posting this! I'm looking at maybe getting a little elva for my first bjd so it's great to see what's possible.
It helps a lot - I especially didn't know about the head movement. While that might be different with the head I'm planning on (Narae), it's still good to know to expect it. Thank you so much, this set is perfect! It's especially good to know about the legs not really going out; I might want to plan on modding them then.
Lana, my Bella, has her new wig finally! :3 I'm so excited! I also changed her eyes back to the purple, I like this size much better. ​
Hi everyone! I just found out about Dreaming Doll and their Airi doll last weekend thanks to a good friend of mine. I was wondering how long they usually take to get orders out and where do most of you get your clothing from. Thanks for your help.
Cutiepie, Bella is very adorable. I love that Talolili, they fit almost slim-regular dresses in Etsy, Nin9style, Luts, Dollmore etc. You get the problem is their foot size
Thanks aphtaiwan. I'm going to get a few outfits and shoes before ordering the doll. I saw that some members use fashion doll shoes(Tonner etc). The problem is that they have so many various sizes. I hope I can find a suitable pair.
Talolili, usually it takes a 3-5 weeks to make ordered doll, but Airi is availible for overnight delivery right now: http://www.ddollshop.com/shop/step1.php?number=922
I see and overnight delievery sounds great. I think I'll do a layaway plan though. I want Airi so badly but I have other things going on to. That's life for you.
