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.

HZ (Heisejinyao Ziyulinglong) 65cm boys - Part 2

Dec 3, 2014

    1. Li has been my HZ focus of late. I worked a bit on his faceup and drilled his ear for a ring. He is moody and intense, I wish I knew more about him but his story is illusive and he is quiet as a mouse. Though now I know he likes beer!

    2. I bought a 7-8" wig for him, the other one was way too big but this one fits perfectly and it really makes him look even better. Now I want to redo his faceup, to make him even more beautiful.

    3. Mr. Li has been away for a bit so he needed a photo to prove he still exists.

    4. @SteamWitch I'm glad there's at least someone out here who still has HZ dolls/is posting about it!! I just bought a boy second hand (Ao Ze Tian) that i'll be fixing up, and since i hadn't heard of the brand...then it seemed like no one still had any....

      :) well long story short, I'm glad to see your dolls and a recent update!

    5. I have Ao Ze Tian, Shuster Fei, Guhu, Boss, and XiaoHan. They are mostly only available through Chinese dealers. They aren't very popular in the US for some reason, but as you can tell I love them.
      I am happier with Li's new look than the earlier one.

    6. He’s so pretty! I agree, though I do have to say, I really liked his first face up and the graphic lines of his eye makeup and beard. The stubble is really really well done now, but there was a lot of character with the bolder lines too!

      I’m slowly being taken by the sort of moody aura of the sculpts, I’m normally drawn toward soft, lighter and feminine features so I figured he’d just end up a fixer up experiment doll.. but i think actually HZ’s sculpts are that perfect strike between a feminine and broody masculine feeling. I can’t wait to get him in my hands >.<

      Can you tell me, what’s it like finding clothes or patterns for your boys? My Ao Ze is the 65cm body since I read that they switched to a 62 cm later on ^^

    7. My Shuster Fei on the 65cm body is really slim. He easily wears most SD clothes, including skinny jeans. His legs are longer but not by much so there is no reason to move to SD17 clothes. The patterns available in the WORKSHOP are a good resource. You can make a paper towel version to see if you need to make the pant legs longer or the waist tighter. Shuster is the only one with the HZ body and he runs around in a wizard robe with some suede cloth pants I made using Undead Threads basic pajama pants pattern, lol.
      He's not good at slouching because he only has the hip joint but he sits up very well. It also made it easy to give him his wizard tattoo and not worry about rubbing at the joint.

    8. That's great to hear!! I was comparing the body to others and they looked a lot slimmer than some others, but are also a bit tall :D My AoZe will have to go through leg surgery first once he arrives, but I already have some good ideas for robes and such for him. I have a Feeple60 who has a nature/forest vibe going on, I think he'll be suited perfectly for a water/air theme

    9. IT’S THROWBACK THURSDAY!

      Here’s my ancient HZ boy, Wang Ye, that I got back in 2010 from MintonCard. He’s a wonderful sculpt. I love his grumpy expression. :vein I’m am such a fangirl of older sculpts. :fangirl:

      @SteamWitch I have so much admiration for your devotion to these beautiful sculpts. I love it when older sculpts are not forgotten,
      and still loved. :aheartbea

      I was wondering, is HZ still making dolls?

    10. Thanks @Rabbit-moon, I do love their sculpts. I know they weren't that popular so the access was limited. I bought this guy in 2019 from Clover-Singing when I asked if Christina could get more HZ since she could before. I got this guy but he isn't like any of my other HZ profiles so I'm thinking he was a newer sculpt, though I don't know if they are making any more now.

    11. @SteamWitch, you are very welcome. I love seeing pictures of your HZ Boys! :aheartbea

      Yes, the new sculpt is rather different from her past style. But, he’s still a gorgeous boy. It’s a shame HZ dolls weren’t more popular.

    12. Blows dust off thread...

      Hi everyone! I just got one of these marvelous boys. He's an old one on the 65cm body, and very-very yellow. He has HZ Doll labels attached to him and came with this wonderful overcoat and some boots. It looks as if the previous owner cut the wig? Not sure.
      He's also very-very floppy and needs restringing. Oh. he is so heavy too. Did the older dolls really weigh so much more then they do now?

      I keep looking at all the pictures, but I am very bad at faces. I felt maybe you all could help me figure out who he is? I think these are the original eyes, because the person that just kept him on display said he lost his eye completely, it was just inside stuck to the head cap.

      Here is a picture of him with the stuff he came with:

      Here is the wig removed to see his face better:


      I would really appreciate the help is any of you recognize him. I know he's an old boy, but you all are experts here!

      I think Ao Ze Tian? The company faceup matches.

    14. Yesss, Ao Zhe Tian!!!!! I have one of him too <3
      I don't really think he's that heavy (he weighs about the same as my other 65-68 boys), BUT HZ bodies aren't .....well, they don't have my favorite engineering lol. My boy came secondhand from his first owner, so he had the (apparently) common issue of his upper thigh pieces being cracked badly near the hips. But even after repairing, a couple restrings, and sueding, his posing was kinda still rough. I did do the repairs when I was first starting out mods, so I have him unstrung and apart again so I can figure out fixing his body. I'd love to have him back on his OG body though, it just feels right for him :XD: Even if I think his shins are too long so it makes his sitting poses wonky.

      He's gotten a newer faceup since these pics, and a name update (ryuu), but I still do really love the sculpt <3

    15. Thanks Everyone!

      I got him cleaned up, not able to get all the stains off but most of them. I did end up redoing his face, I tried to save it, but messed it up while cleaning him.

      @Karra I'm sorry that your boy got cracked, I hope that you will be able to fix him. He looks awesome!.:daisy
