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.

    4. That's true lol I just wanted to see what other options in have for heads but once it has a face up and wig it shouldn't be that bad. I've just seen some where they look like the same tone online then in person their way off lol and the cycle of reselling or buying starts haha!

    5. Nearly all of my dolls are hybrids! Though I did just recently buy some older Dollshe bodies so my Saint heads are technically fully Dollshe now lol

      Prior to putting them on Rhythmos and Pure bodies, I had one on an Akagidoll 66cm body and the other on a Doll Family-A 62cm body. The DF-A body was literally just a stopgap -- the neck was really too short for Saint and made him look much "stumpier" than he should have. But I will praise Akagidoll to the ends of the earth for use in hybridizing SD boys of all stripes -- it looked great with Saint and looks great with Aramis now, and my second Akagidoll 66cm body looks amazing with Little Rebel André (and worked proportionally with Rumpeldoll Morfeo even though the color wasn't right). :) Speaking of Morfeo, I took a lot of pics of Morf on various male bodies and found a lot of good hybrid options for it as well -- check out https://denofangels.com/threads/rumpeldoll-heads-and-bodies.774285/ for pics from lots of folks!

      As long as I keep buying heads by themselves, I'll keep the hybrid train running. :)

      My current hybrids:
      Aramis head on Akagidoll 66cm body
      Little Rebel André head on Akagidoll 66cm body
      Little Rebel André head on Doll Family H Nan Gong body (70cm)
      Luts Abadon head on Mirodoll 61cm body
      April Story Cheon head on Mystic Kids 62cm body
      White Luster Sylva head on Doll Family-A 62cm body
      Withdoll Eliza head on Island Doll IDF 45cm Girl Body-2

    6. Yaaaaay! Someplace to show off my little hybrid!

      Right now, I just have this one hybrid. My Dina is a Dollmore Zaoll Dreaming Luv head with an SQ-Labs SG body, eventually when I get some more stringing elastic, she'll also have some DF-H jointed hands. Every piece had different colors, head was NS, body was real skin white, and the jointed hands were pretty much solid white. :) the color matching was so fun!

      This makes me not want to wait for my next hybrid that should be coming in end of this year.

    8. Not much of a drastic hybrid, but my dollzone gene head will be arriving soon to go on my DC a-03 body!!! I’m very excited :)

    9. So a hybrid thread actually exists as a subforum in the Large Doll Discussion! My two large dolls are hybrids, but currently only the boy is fit for photos (the girl is undergoing a body upgrade -- will post again when she's no longer just a floating head).

      Head: Granado Michael, New Normal (late 2016)
      Body: Impldoll Idol male FGB, Realskin (late 2016-early 2017)

      Color-wise, the match isn't 100%, but passable with blushing (Impl's colors are pretty erratic -- an older Realskin I used to have was even closer). Proportion is actually a bit on the pinheaded side because Granado's recent heads are pretty small. It also results in limited head mobility because the Impl neck is slightly bigger than what Granado's heads were meant for, but nothing silicone KIPS or sueding won't fix. Careful arrangements of clothes and hair make it a workable hybrid, though.

    10. Wow, these hybrids are really inspiring!

      I´ve preordered a morpheo-head recently and am now searching for a good body to match. i am still very indecisive and unsure where to look best.

      maybe somebody has suggestions? at the moment i am quiet intrigued by the old hound dollshe-body.

    11. Rumpeldoll has a discussion thread and a photo ref thread, you might be better off checking there as the people in those threads are generally more likely have the doll and can help answer questions.

    13. Hi there, new Morfeo owner! Welcome to the club! :)

      I’ve posted my pics in the Rumpeldoll hybrid thread, but a few of us sent them to Rumpel directly and they were cross posted on the Rumpeldoll Instagram account. :) Check that out too, there are some there that aren’t in the DoA thread :)

    14. Just checked them out on instagram. To be honest this doesn´t make my decision any easier, quiet the opposite! :D So many amazing options...ahhhhh.

    15. I was searching for some photo and can't find any. I'm looking a best body for my IoS Jade. Wondering if the Dollshe 28M will fit? Have you seen hybrid like that?
       
      • x 1
    16. It's hard to answer that question, @Agata Z. Jankowska :) Are you wondering about a resin color match? The IOS Jade has a neck circumference of 12cm, so that's what I usually go by : that and shoulder width. The IOS 80 body seems to have wide shoulders, very wide. and I've seen pictures now that look like he's bobble headed (they look like hybrids)

      I have no idea about the color, but the dollshe 28m says the shoulder width is 17cm , but does not say where that measurement was taken. If it is in the same location that IOS shows on their doll body (inner arm is 15.5) then it would be wider. For me, that would be a good thing, because Jake does look a little bobble headed even on his intended body, (but understand, I've been getting into more realism myself)

      If however, that means the outside arm shoulder width, that's bad, that would be far narrower than the 21cm circumference shown on IOS's site. I don't think the 13cm neck would be much of a problem (again, that thick neck is nice and realistic on the dollshe)

      So I guess what you need to do is find out what the real width of the shoulders are from someone who has the body. If it's at least the 21cm or whatever is shown on their website (looks like circumference) I'd say it'll likely be a nice fit/look. If the neck really turns out to be too big, I'd ream out the neck hole of the head a little leaving the neck alone because dollshe bodies are super expensive, and I'd rather mess with the head. and because any cutting done will show on the neck as lighter material, and inside the head socket it would not be seen. Hope that was somewhat helpful?

    17. IngieBee thx! This is exactly what I wanted to know. I think that Jade's head look a bit funny on IoS 80 body - booble as you said. I want him to look as much realistic, as it possible, and this is why I'm still looking for better body. Need him to be big, and stocky. So, will search dolshe body real width of the shoulders.

    19. Does anyone here know the resin matching for IOS and DZ normal skins? I want to buy a IOS head and a DZ body, but I can’t find much information about the two in the same pictures...
