Making 3mm eyes is hard. I'm still working on my method. Luke and Rabbit eyes by SteamWitch, on Flickr
Whoa! Those look so good, though! I can't imagine making proper eyes that size... You are a brave soul.
Hall got some of the jointed hands from Granado. They are wonderful. Hall and his new hands by SteamWitch, on Flickr
I'm just in awe of those tiny jointed fingers. It almost doesn't seem possible! And yet, here we are!
Indeed those are insane! Extremely tempting, but holey-crap are those way too expensive for me. Not when I hoard so much other stuff, and I just keep thinking I could have paid S/H with the cost of the hands for one and a half of my "monthly" toy hauls. Lol! DX Those tiny, jointed hands are still beyond impressive, and obviously pricey for that reason -- they look so nice as well, I usually don't like jointed hands aesthetically, but those look beautiful from that photo! I only wish I didn't hoard other stuff, but then again, I can just happily admire what others share from a distance! Thanks so much for sharing, SteamWitch! (:
Oh those look so good @SteamWitch! I keep thinking I want to get those for myself... Well worth the cost, but I can't seem to commit to it. (Yet!)
Thanks, they are really pretty cool. A bit of a challenge for my shaky fingers but once they are in place they stay there for photos which is the best part. They go well on the Zen body but they wouldn't look right on the more muscular bodies.
I’m new to Granado but I have a few 1/6 ladies on the way and Ive been having so much fun planning for them I started looking here to see if they might need some friends Gabriel and the adagio2 body are definitely extremely tempting.. I’m thinking he would be inspired by Geralt from the Witcher. I know the new body probably hasn’t made it out to owners yet, but I’m curious what everyone’s thoughts are between adagio2 and 32 evolve?
Has anyone had any luck finding clothes for the girls at this scale? I have a Bonnie on the Muse body and a Bayou (soon to be Jade via head transplant) on the Embody and I’m not having a lot of luck finding things. I tried dresses for Phicen and shorts sets for Ob27 girls from Taobao and they were both big in some places and awkwardly proportioned in others. The Embody in particular is bustier than the Muse with a tiny waist so things slide around on her that are fine on the Muse body. So far the only things that sort of fit are Barbie clothes, but they’re not the best quality. I’ve had much better luck finding Ob27 sized things for the boys… but they’re wearing oversized hoodies and hanfu so there’s more margin for error. (Sorry no pics; my whole crew has sealed eyes now because I like the look of it better so their heads are off topic.) @ArouraAnn Okay, A) tiny Geralt would be SO COOL and B) I don’t have either of those bodies but I’ve been eying the Adagio 2 to replace my boys’ bodies because it’s less muscley and I don’t love how the Zen body lacks a mobility joint. I’ve heard good things from friends about Adagio 1 so I assume it’s got a similarly fabulous range of motion. (I was fine with the Zen body until the ladies arrived and could do so much more, haha!) It probably just depends on which one you like more aesthetically.
So they're a bit hard to fit... The Muse body (the only one I have) is kind of like a stretched-out Momoko doll with somewhat bigger hips... I have my girl in 1/6 action figure woman clothes, which do fit, but it's not a close-fitting outfit and the only part of it that IS doesn't work. Hopefully someone else has better pointers, but I've been pondering this exact question myself and not found anything.
Well, I’m glad I’m not alone in the struggle then! I was looking at Momoko patterns and wondering if they would fit, so that’s good intel, thank you! I asked Granado for suggestions too, but they were like “Try Ob27 clothes, good luck!” I may have to suck it up and buy some Barbie clothing patterns to try. If I find something that works brilliantly I’ll share!
You can find a lot of nice clothes on xianyu! It's a lot of hanfu though, lol. I made an order through Christina from clover singing for some clothes and wigs for my granado dolls. She does charge a high fee, but I think with some help you can probably figure it out!
Speaking of Granado's ladies... Rime is released! I'm super in love with her, I think I might have to get her!! Those long elf ears, those lips! Is anyone else planning on getting this beautiful fairy queen?
I'm tempted by Rime too! And am thinking about whether or not I want to order her accessories as well. I'm also thinking of ordering the open eyes version, but it doesn't look like there is an option to buy her with eyes? Does anyone know what size eyes work best? It says on Granado's site that she fits 6.5 mm eyes but from a brief search, I've only been able to find either 6 or 7 mm eyes. Which would work best: 6 or 7 mm?
Yeah, like Nancy said--Granado does sell 6.5mm eyes! If not getting eyes from Granado, I'd round down to 6mm, personally, because 7mm is a strange size to find (although not impossible). I have Granado eyes in my Bonnie and they're beautiful. I'm trying to decide what body I like myself... and what color. I think she'd made a good sister for one of my other dolls, which means getting her in NS or WS, but if I weren't... Rosy tan speaks to me... Or one of the two darkest colors, too...
