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.

 

Waiting for any update on my smiling Eva head. I was contacted after my order since apparently the face up for orders on this doll will be done at the artist's will. I wasn't used to that, but I'll be modifying the face up anyway.
