1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Elfdoll Boy Mir Discussion

    1. Oooh, he's great! It makes me happy to see more distinctly Asian-looking heads, especially boys. And masculine ones at that. There seem to be so few of them out there. Rainyman does it again!

      I also kinda like the molded resin hair. I'm sure with the right paint-job, paint layering, dry-brush technique and gloss, it could look really real. I see tons of Asian guys around with that slicked-back hair, and I know that making a wig like that would be pretty tough, if not impossible (You'd have a hard time getting a fur wig to stay that flat, or any wig, without showing the wigcap).
      I think that the hair is essentially a headcap- instead of a bald head, on one of the two heads, there's hair :lol:
      it's actually a pretty interesting idea.

      If the tattoo is a decal, I'm sure you could spray a bit of MSC over it, and it'd stay, I've seen a lot of people doing that for dolly tattoos ;)

    2. Wait a second - is he supposed to look like Samurai Jack?
      Mr Rainyman does mention that he based him on a favorite cartoon character. I would be so amused if that turned out to be Jack!

    3. Wotan and I are of the opinion that he looks a lot like Harima Kenji from "School Rumble." XD ( It's that slicked-back hair that does it, I think.)

      But it would be very interesting to know who Rainman had in mind when he sculpted Mir! :)

    4. hehe, wouldn't he make a nice Nightmare Detective with that facial hair shading Mir has in the promo pics? Mir just looks a little *too* healthy for the part methinks...

    5. As far as I'm concerned, I don't like the resin hair, but I love his eyes :D !

    6. Someone asked this over at Elfdoll.com : Elfdoll plans to release a standard version of Mir in 2-3 months.

      Just thought some of you'd like to know.

    7. He looks like a villain...and that molded hair....

      Well he's certainly different.
       
      #167 Hornisse, Aug 4, 2007
    8. Sounds great! :D

      I wonder if he's going to release more resin hair as well....

    9. I LOVE him! He is actually my fave male doll, out of all the ones I've seen. I want him SO badly but, we're buying a house right now so I can't buy any dolls or doll stuff. :( Oh why did he have to come out now?
       
      #169 Gilshallos, Aug 5, 2007
    10. Thanks for the new! I absolutely want this guy for my upgrade Ju-ken, but there is no way I can afford the limited release... Good to hear he'll go standard so I can get him at that time :)

    11. I just thought of dry-brushing white in, especially at the temples. I have a really nice 60cm suit, too . . . .

      I think Mir would work pretty well as a bishseinen (sp, sorry).

    12. I think I like his basic face sculpt, but I want to see him done up with a more realistic, mature look. I would really love to see some pictures of his other head with and without a wig.

    13. I love how realistically asian he looks, and the vibe he has is so unique, but the face-up on the pictures and the resin hair are not quite my cup of tea, though I think they're a very neat concept. I do like the head-mold, and I'd love to see him with other face-ups and other looks.

    14. Very nice face sculpt! I love the eyes, smirk and everything.
      The resin slicked-back hair is very action figure like, and the hair style sort of reminds me of Masaru Katou from the Gantz manga. http://comipress.com/files/images/news/2006/11/gantz2nd1.jpg
      It's very unique and well done, but I prefer a normal wig.
      I would love to see the head with a different faceup with more natural eyebrows and no "beard shadow". He would looks like Wu's sexy older brother. hot stuff!
      I could totally see this head as Mugen from Samurai Champloo as well.
      If someone gets the special set and sells the normal head, I'd love to buy it.

    15. Mir is certainly awesome...his scuplt hair is different and pretty cool...

      I love the clothing and the tat...very manly and very cute as well..

      What I love about elfdoll is that they look pretty realistic...ahhh Mir = <3

    16. I love Mir, except for the eyes. I don't know, but they creep me out. They keep staaaaring at me.

      He would be perfect for a villain character, or perhaps something like that Korean guy from LOST, befóre he ended up on that island. I think Mir would look lovely in a suit.

    17. ....that's a totally fantastic and wonderfully hot idea. :D i may steal it and run away, after all, my Tachi's "real" head is the blank one. *_*

    18. Well I don´t like the hair it´s remid me to action man... But the face is pretty good qith his asian style...
