Iplehouse Discussion (YID, nYID, SID, EID, HID) Part 13

@Yuchan92, ahhh Happy Claudes. Wil be interested in seeing how you do them. I've only seen male Claudes.

They are so adorable. sigh...

 

After having fun in a "Please help me ID this doll" thread, I am now consumed with curiosity about the new female SID bodies.
How do they look? How do they pose? Do you have one (or more)? If so, do you have a Flickr or IG account I can stalk look at?
@Chameleon ? @Tippetarius ? I tried looking through your activity. Felt dirty, like I was snooping...

 

You’re more than welcome to check out my posts—I don’t mind at all! I don’t post much on IG, but I’m @indifferent_red there! I don’t (yet) have an nSid, but I’m planning on grabbing one soon!

 

I have two SID model girls one I only have a close up photo of and the other well... He is kind of a mini me doll as based on a dorky character concept of mixing self with a comic book character. Velocity was my PC around that idea, and I shelled him back when I was still a her. As I have gone more male so has Vel, to the point I debate a chest mod on my doll. As is I can share the lone pic of Velocity from my flickr, as he is one of my SID models with a female body.


My other model girl only has a close up pic on my flickr but feel free to poke the image as a link to said flickr page and stare at my few dolls posted there all you like. ^_^

 

I have a few shots of my nSID girl on my insta under ice_mutt (and twitter, but then you'd have to dig through everything else), but I don't have an older style SID to compare her to.
I personally really love the look of the body and joints, and a lot of the design to me just feels more like they put a lot of effort into making the knees/ and elbows less bulky than my other big girls.
While I don't do too many wild poses I do find she's probably the easiest of my big dolls to pop down and be happy with how she looks. The mobility joint in particular is super helpful, though I always try to be gentle with the way the hips have the locking mechanism in them not to just throw her legs around. She's my favorite for taking quick off the cuff photos.

It's absolutely pouring this way today and fairly impossible to get decent light today.

 

Music to my ears. After getting a Dream Valley body with the knees and elbows molded into the peanut - I totally get why some people prefer them. *I* now prefer them.

@Tippetarius - I cannot brain today; I haz the dumb. Is your IG account the same username?

Cool! I will commence stalking er, following. I'll start following you. I don't post nearly as much as I like, either - particularly since I keep saying I need to practice my photography skills...

 

I have nothing on Instagram, but if you poke my posted photo it should work like a link and take you to my flickr. Which is not as full as it should be. I love my doll army, but never take a lot of photos. I have a goal of slowly getting one nice photo of each of my crew, but that is going to take a while.

As for SID models I swear by them male or female as the nicest posing dolls in my 27 some odd from IH.

Edited P.S. my flickr name is the same as here.

 

I don't have my SID girls painted yet (am waiting for our summer) but if you wanted to see them when they are finally painted I am LyanneNZ on Instagram

In the meantime...here is one of my HID girls, Ally (Aileen) for Casual Friday

@MaleficentMrsofEvil - I feel bad that I haven't taken any new photos in a long while, but my old box-opening thread is still up if that helps.

 

I tried a new wig on my oPeach nYID Audrey and find myself quite
crazy about her now. She used to wear a lovely curly black wig but
I just couldn’t warm to her (she’s meant to be Molly Gibson from
Wives&Daughters). So she may need a new character now.

(please ignore Edan’s bare feet - I forgot to put his boots on….)

 

Very pretty wig for her Robyn...love the colour!

 

@LyanneNZ - your pictures are just gorgeous. You have another stalker follower!

@Sianserais same. That unboxing was super helpful, though - i was considering getting some SIDM jeans, and i like the wide-leg look. And now, I've also fallen in love with the YID Lucia sculpt. (internal monologue be like, "I'm not buying any more dolls. I'm NOT buying any more dolls! ... When is Iplehouse's next sale?")

@Robyn_in_WA that wig is gorgeous! And it looks beautiful on her! Isn't amazing how a change of a wig or eyes can completely change how you see a doll? I'm shaving all my Barbies' heads, I swear.

 

@LyanneNZ, love everything about that picture. her pose, the looks and the doll.


@Robyn_in_WA boy that wig sure does soften her up and she looks sweet and perfect. Not only is the right wig able to work for a doll but the shade of the color of it is also so important. It totally works for her.

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil haha...thanks, it's always fun to have others enjoy photos. This can be a rather solitary hobby otherwise, right? Thanks Bren also...

We are in lockdown so have had just a little bit more time to sneak some doll time in so have had a flurry of new photos.

Aaliyah got a turban to wear with the animal print dress. It is nothing too clever - I used soft knit fabric and twisted and hand sewed it in place.

Thank you @LyanneNZ ! I think that my Audrey will be keeping this wig!
It’s an older Amadiz angora wig which arrived (after 6month wait) in a bright
orange color. I was so disappointed. Finally bought some blond hair dye
and re-dyed it - thankfully it worked.

@LyanneNZ - Love the turban on your Aaliyah! It looks like you worked really hard on it!

Thank you @MaleficentMrsofEvil !! I was stunned at the difference this wig made.
I seem to need to keep relearning that lesson - “try different eyes or wig”!!

Thanks @Bren !! Audrey is one of my absolute favorite sculpts. It was hard for
me to understand why I couldn’t warm up to her with the other wig. She’ll find
a new character and hopefully get some outdoor clothing soon too!

 

@Robyn_in_WA,

I'm in awe to find out that you actually dyed it. It looks great. You are so good at what you decide to try to do.

You are amazing....

 

Oh, just discovered the new thread! Beautiful pictures everyone

 

@IngieBee I thought the Iplehouse thread had gone quiet too but I think the last thread ended and they haven't found their way here yet Do they usually put a link to the new thread at the end of an old one?

Here's one of my (usually SID) Aaliyah on an HID body. Been having some fun with the big girls lately.
