Elfdoll 14cm TinyDoll discussion Part 4

Thanks for posting William1122 ! I'm waiting for a PN S body in white skin for my Bong head , it looks like the body will work just fine.

 

I'm glad it helped, Aeryn! It will work great!

 

Are there any actual WHITE skin bodies that would fit the Elfdoll heads? I was really needing to make one of my characters a whiteskin and I don't know if blushing a PN body will work, I've never tried to work with "normal" plastics.

 

I got a shipping notice today, my Bong head and Dami headback are shipped ! and the Picco Neemo body waits for me at the PO.

 

Awesome! Did you get blank heads or with faceup? I'm glad you are going to give the picco neemo bodies a try (get white for regular elfdoll resin)

LOL, GoodbyeKitty, I think she meant blank. Wish they would do a dark tan character! That'd be awesome! Of course they've done catsy

Thank you again so much! I'm so glad I was able to change my order to white skin! It looks close to perfect! I got my paypal invoice and paid probably within 5 minutes of them sending it to me, LOL. I just happened to open my email just after they sent it!

Gosh, I'm so afraid of painting my Bong! I didn't think about it, but she is complex! Ugh! I hope I can get a Jin some time soon, then I'll have all 3 sisters!

DanceCat, the plastic doll bodies from obitsu and Azone seem to be the same and I can say having an Obitsu, that they're very pale, yellowishy pink, but not white white, like many resin dolls

 

Bong is very difficult to paint but so unique that she looks good with any face up. The one I gave my Bong is not perfect but it still gives her personality

And about Jin-

There are actually 2 versions of Jin at The Doll Peddlar. The 2008 version with the two puffs on the top of her head and a yellow dress and the 2009 version with a braided wig, a softer and more detailed face up, and a dorothy dress. I ordered the 2009 Jin and she is really worth getting! And definitely order from The Doll Peddlar! She only came in 2 days and the price is better than Elfdoll's insane shipping.

 

Wow, I can't believe they still have her! I'm going to have to save up my money! My Min has a regular big boobie body, LOL, and my Bong will have the picco neemo body so having an actual sister with the proper body would be awesome!

Well, Hobby Search said they received my payment and that the items will be shipped out within the next couple of business days. I'm guessing that means Monday Really looking forward to having new dolls!

 

Hurray for the sisters!!!!!!! I can't wait to see your Bong girl. I was so surprised too that The Doll Peddlar had the two Jins from quite a few years ago. I knew I just and to have her because I have a feeling they will sell out soon. I really hope you can get her! Which one do you think you will get?

 

Wow that is surprising that the doll peddler has the Jin girls left. They will probably sell out now that more people know LOL!

GoodbyeKitty: It was a typo, meant to read BLANK heads not BLACK ooopsy . I thought that the piconeemo X-cute dolls used the S bodies as that's what they all seem to list under body size. It wouldn't surprise me too much if they did come out with a smaller size for the full doll sets. They do seem to add in extras for full doll sets before they are offered as parts like they did with the large bust option for S and M bodies in the assault series of picco neemos.

 

I really wish they would sell the Assault series bodies separately because I would have no use for the fullset. If you guys are worried about the Jin girls being sold out soon I believe that you can do layaway so that you can "reserve" your doll. And Jin is a pretty underrated or a non popular sculpt so maybe they will have quite a few in stock. But I think that the limited 2007 version they won't have very many of.

What is the assault series?

I guess I'll see what happens at the end of the month, because at the moment, I've spent all my money again, LOL. I guess if I could choose, I would get the older one in the gingham dress (is that what you call that pattern?) and braids. I like her dress and her wig best, but I sort of like the faceup of the newer one better.

Anyway, I may not be able to do this, but I would love to if I can! LOL

My bodies are out of customs and I'm hoping they arrive tomorrow (jumping up and down) but I haven't started any painting yet! I better get on it. I hope my supplies are still good???

 

The assault series ( I have NO clue why they are called that) are basically Picco Neemo bodies with more movement and a bigger bust. Oh and the one with the gingham dress and the braids is actually the newer version and the one with the yellow dress and the two buns is older one. I really hope you can get her!!!!

 

Oh, I forget which one came when anymore, LOL. It's been so long! Wow, I'd love to see the assault series! My M bodies just arrived! I don't have time to play, 'cause I'm supposed to go to a friends house 15 minutes ago, LOL, to help with their computer. But I have to say, they're adorable, the "light skin" which they call white or fair, or many other names, LOL, is a perfect match to fresh elfdoll resin (normal) I can't wait to take picture. I have a plan for the head attachement that really won't be hard, but I need to get a drill bit. Also for everyone, their clothes are made amazingly well! Seriously! The only thing to watch out for is the hems, they're very fine, and I can see tearing the fabric threads over time. So these are lovely great clothes that need to be treated well. No rough stuff! LOL. But the detail is amazing and well done! They have velcro for back fasteners but they keep everything as thin as possible so it doesn't look bad from the back.

Anyway, I had to report, I'm very excited! These are all going to be amazing! I think it's been said already, but the hands don't move up and down, they only twist, so getting the different hands is a good idea for posing different ways. Also, the feet, though they are detachable, they don't move at all. No pointing toes with this girl Otherwise, the body is great. Nice things are these aren't kicky, but of course a proper bjd is so much slinkier and there is something to a elfdoll tiny body that slinks in your hand, kind of like it's alive, LOL. But this is a super option for extra heads!

And if I haven't said it enough, if you like these picco neemo outfits, they're really awesome and pretty much the right size for elfdolls. I haven't tried any on my dolls yet, but I'm going to try to do so tomorrow and take my first dolly pictures in YEARS! Can't wait to post them for you all

 

Well, I modified the neck thingy for the elfdoll head, and took pictures! Photos 1, 2 and 3 show the modified neck pc. I outlined in photo 1 how the neck piece is two pieces snapped together at the ball joint. I hope you can understand that. It's hard to see in a photo, but there are two halves to the sphere and they snap together so that the top can bend down, forming an L if it wants to. I drilled a hole in the piece that would normally be stuffed into a vinyl head, and held there via the flaring out shape. I then drew a small silicon band, the kind that came from my daughter's bracelet making loom that are popular right now. I think these bands are also the same kind that you can get for your hair, about 1/2" to 3/4" long. Just take the two loops after drawing them through the neck pc. and hook them into the head cap hook and you're finished

The last picture shows what I tried before drilling a hole. I simply wrapped the band around the small end above the ball joint, tightened it, so that the bulk of the band was as small as possible, then shoved the band through the neck hole, grabbed it and shoved the end pc.through the head, lining up the bulk with one of the slits. This would have worked quite well (after pressing the head well on to the neck) except my band ended up too long and there was not enough tension to hold the head cap in place. I would need smaller bands for this to work .

Hope this helps anyone fitting an Elfdoll head on a Picco Neemo body! I think it looks great and I'll get back with some fashion pictures



Edit: Now that I have my dolls put together, I wish I had slightly smaller bands, so try something smaller if you can for more tension

 

IngieBee: Great tip! Thanks so much. I can't wait to see you girls.

Just throwing a few ideas out there: Wonder if a home made S hook would work to hold the head cap in place if you threaded it through your drilled hole? Maybe make your own loop with elastic thread so that you could get it smaller and have more tension? I have no time until maybe next month to play and focus on my girls. I did want to try and open up Kai's eyes a bit before I tried a faceup on her.

PS: if you go here you can see the assault series bodies (only available as a full set) of the picco neemos vs the regular ones. Also if you type in picco neemo compariso you can see some other pictures.

 

Oh wow, that's cool! I think my bodies may be the same size as the big one. They end up being half a head taller than regular Elfdolls. I don't mind though. It's nice to have an option. I love their clothes, but so much of it is sold out on the Japanise websites. And if you go to ebay everything costs 2X as much! This has really been great because my daughter didn't get much for her birthday (just some clothes from grandparents and chocolate from us) So I used my birthday money from my mom (a month later) to buy these dolls. It's a little late, but at least now I can give her something nice I painted them last night and now I have to take pcitures for her. BTW, I'm not the best faceup artist, lol, especially on tinies, but did my best. Will try taking a photo a little later I can't wait to give this to her when she gets back from visiting grandparents at the end of the month! So excited!

Also, yes, stringing a shorter pc. of chord (tiny chord) would be a great option. I actually have some I found at JoAnn's and might give that a try.

 

IngieBee; That is wonderful! I think I met you and your daughter at one of the Elfdoll parties in Glendale!

 

Of course I remember you Nancy. We haven't been active for a long time. Life just got too busy. My eldest is dealing with "executive functioning disorders" My middle boy is autistic and now has graduated high school, and so they are both needy. Neither can drive, so I spend my days taking them everywhere. I don't really mind, I love them so much, but it leaves little time for anything else. It's summer now, so I have a wee bit of time at the moment, LOL. Having fun playing with my dolls, though my partner in crime is away at camp

So anyway, I got some pictures done! Here they are No eyes for the most part yet, I ordered some from Dreamingtree. I also have to dress them, LOL. You can see the color match is perfect, but time will change elfdoll resin, and then it won't match as well. But that's ok, it's still a great fit! BTW, that's the light skin body, or "white"







Do we have picture rules on this thread? Let me know, I'll put the pictures elsewhere if I should do that

 

Hey you wise Elfdoll tiny folks! I have a question: Do you think either a Kai or Lyn head would fit on the Doll Chateau Ada body (human)? I can't find Ada's size or measurements so I just hope they would fit together. It would certainly open up a new hybridization option because there are usually a few Adas in the MP. I hope someone can help me!

 

Oh wow! I see you guys are talking about Pico Neemo bodies with the Elfdoll tiny heads. I ended up with an extra PN body lying around after my vacation (long story), and after realizing the clothes fit, I decided I'd try it with my Sylph's head out of curiosity. And now I see other people have done it, too! I think the body works really nicely, and I'm happy Abby can now stand. And I can't resist those adorable little hands. Also, with the option hands costing only around $5 for a set of five poses, it gives nice variety, too.

My head attachment is hardly as sophisticated as yours, but it works for now. I might set up mine similar to yours down the line. Also, Abby is a few year old and she still matches the body fairly well. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
