Gem of Doll Discussion

I agree @tsukibun his face is amazing! I really like human Orion too... but I told myself no more dolls this year.

 

Proud of you. You are stronger than me haha~

 

Ugggghh, Gem just contacted BJDivas and told them that the reason the haven't sent my BMoth yet is because they couldn't find the materials for his fullset, so I'm not getting it. I'm still getting the doll and a partial refund, but I really liked that outfit, I wanted an Octopus Witch boy. Guess I'll have to get creative.

 

I'm seriously considering getting Orion's fullset (human) as my first fullset doll (and first doll from Gem). He's stunning and really gives me ideas for a specific character, which so far is exactly the kind of thing I look for. Gorgeous face sculpt, too.

 

I bought human Coraline fullset at the dolk show room in Akihabara and I adore almost everything about her. Unfortunately her wig got a bit messed up when they packaged it up and I’m trying to figure out how to tame it back into shape. The face up is so stunning and her sculpt is very pretty. She and the other doll I got are my first 1/4 dolls ever.

 

My new girl Felise in her fullset outfit! Looks like she's inviting you to tea~

Ended up waiting 6 months / HALF A YEAR for this dress, but it was worth the wait, haha. I definitely got unlucky, since I know gem doesn't take nearly as long for their outfits (at least, I don't think they do usually).

 

I got some Volks water wax for Christmas and wanted to share how well it works on the Coraline wig!

 

My Miracle Doll who I just received came with a wig marked "1/3", which is certainly too big for that doll. But Jalaa, my Capricorn wears a 7/8 instead of a 6/7 and that overlaps with 1/3, so I tried it on her. She might be keeping it.

Ugh I had seriously considered trying Gem's gashaphon event earlier this year and I talked myself out of it. Now I'm kind of regretting it, looking at all of your lovely dolls. Does anyone know if they do that event yearly, or was it a one-time thing?

 

They did it last year too so I think it's yearly. I'm kicking myself too for not buying one either, even if the head would end up to one I don't love their boy bodies are really nice and I could have gotten one in Mia pink for another doll and sold the head off.

 

about waiting time: Adelise arrived only after 1 month but it wasnt full set. Beautiful make up. GREAT body (the newest female 1/4 one) fantastic posability, greatly recommended

 

Do the gashapon dolls started to ship? im so curious for mine!

 

I think GEM's bodies are hard to pose naturally... My Coco couldn't strive some poses and I think her joints are kind of stiff. Anyone has the same struggle? Or maybe it's just the string being too tight?

 

I'm sorely tempted by the new cat boy but i'm also trying to be GOOD and focus on getting bodies for my floating heads this year.
but he's pretty!

 

Here's Gideon, my Tazz. I requested that they omit the big star on his face (haha) and I added a few freckles, darkened his eyebrows, etc. I love this silly wannabe rockstar boy. I've got to do a little work on the jointed hands I got for him - they're really lovely - and do a little more body blushing than he came to me with. His fullset has so many little outfit components that are great fun to mix and match. I think it's adorable how well his original wig suits him, especially with the Enchanted Doll eyes I got for him. I got him in the mousse white, it's a really nice "warm" white, he holds a pose very well and stands on his own pretty solidly. I had to have him in the first place largely since he's very reminiscent to me of Sam from Stardew Valley (Sam's my favorite... ) so there's not much more customizing I see him needing for now!



I'm eager to get these hands on him. It'll take some work though. His wrists are rigged with a very long hook (as you can see, some were included in that little baggie there) and the elastic won't pull through the forearm for easy replacement. Even unhooking/unlooping his original hands to begin with is something of a puzzle. But I'll figure it out. I'd like to detail them first, anyhow!

 

Gideon looks amazing and I can see the resemblance to Sam. Now you just need to get him a tiny guitar. Can I ask where you got those hands and how they work with the scale of the doll?

 

The weird thing about Tazz, I thought he outshined his co-star in the promo photos.

 

Hehe! Thank you!!
I got the hands direct from GEM of Doll! They were released in August and what drew my eye to the company in the first place. The scaling is just right! They will work with both boy and girl dolls. I can't say how well they'd scale with dolls from other companies (yet). Here's the link to their listing! 1/4 girl/boy jointed hand - www.gemofdoll.com

 

(I have to agree. He stole the show!!)

 

Andrea is so pretty I hope I can get her someday. Is she limited, or is only her fullset limited? (I mean the cat version)
