Huajing-Doll 1/4 Discussion

Since my try to get extra hands from huajing didn't end up very successful (got lost in the mail and were never found), I ended up trying some third-party pairs I found on TaoBao (MioPlanetDoll) in Soom Light Tan (shallow burning in the listing). The match is ok-ish, but Huajing tan is definitely a tad lighter - mixing heads/bodies wouldn't be a problem at all but with hands it's a little visible.

In case it's a helpful comparison to anyone, here's a pic! The head is Alchemic Labo Paradise Skin

 

Hello, I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm ordering a Kui Ning head and hoping to put her on the Huajing 1/5 body, has anyone tried this? I see the necks are about 1cm difference, I'm worried she'll look really bobble headed

 

@Lentil I've done a similar neck hole difference hybrid with a 1/4 doll before, the neck gap will be noticeably big. It can fit okay if you hotglue the crap out of the neck hole and hide it with a wig but it can look a little strange nonetheless. It will also compromise the neck mobility so hot glue sueding really is essential. But sometimes the aesthetics make it work!

 

Thank you for this advice! I think I'll order her with a 1/5 body and see what I can do. I've never had a hybrid doll before so it's all a bit new to me, but I think the smaller size would be cute for her.

 

I’ve got that head and body, if you like I can take a look at what it would look like when I get home from work?

 

That's so kind of you to offer, thank you I ended up ordering her on the 1/4 body as I was a bit worried about the head looking too big and out of proportion with the 1/5 body, plus I know nothing about modding hybrids.

 

I think you’ve made the right choice; the 1/4 heads are quite a bit bigger. There’s a lot of neck gap, and her shoulders are too narrow. I tried to upload a picture but couldn’t get it to work. I’m sure you will be happy with the 1/4 version. She’s a beautiful sculpt, and the new 1/4 bodies are really nice.

 

Thank you for confirming, I had a feeling her head might be too big. I'm glad I went with the 1/4 body now! She is such a cute sculpt, I can't wait to see her in person.

 

Has anyone ordered any of the newer 1/4 Huajing boys, like Ling Sa, Kor or Jett? I know they're so new that they probably haven't arrived yet, but I just want to live vicariously through someone who is waiting for one of them especially Jett really, really threatened (and tbh, still is threatening) my doll-no-buy promise for this year.
Anyway, I'm asking for pictures in advance for when they arrive!

 

hey look to be offering a few more resin colours for their heroic bearing bodies.

does anyone know what their grey looks like?

 

@purple_monkfish - they've been offering gray on request for a while, it should be similar to Soom gray

 

Which makes it sorely tempting because I HAVE a doll that's "soom grey" and trying to find a match is a pain in the butt. It doesn't have to be exact, just close.

so hmmmmm.

They have another sale on this month (seems a pretty regular occurance) which always makes things tempting lol. My mission this year is to try to get bodies for all my floating heads.
