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

@Olga Borontova Many thanks! I really admire your skills in making your dolls' knitted wear (I cannot knit for the life of me).

@PowerAndWeakness You're welcome! I was able to bring my 75cm guy to a minimeet with a fellow IH owner, and he is definitely taller than an EID male.

 

AntarelNefertili
Thank you for your kind words about my work!
I sincerely admire your talents as a photographer and screenwriter of "live pictures", the main characters of which are your BJD actors!

 

So I did some measuring for a doll house. The doll stands at 67cm. The ceiling height I am not sure of 80cm seems not bad, 85cm would be good also but 90cm seems a bit too high. What is the ideal ceiling height for a BJD E.I.D female doll ceiling in a doll house?

 

If we assume that an EID is 1/3 scale (which she is, just heroic!) and we also assume the standard modern American ceiling height of nine feet for her house (which we do not have to do!) then a 1/3-scale doll house would have a ceiling of 91cm. Older houses and, sometimes, upstairs bedrooms have ceilings of eight feet instead, which at 1/3 scale would come out to 81 cm.

Dolls do not feel cramped under low ceilings like people can, so pretty much any of your measurements would probably work! It's possible that a lower ceiling would look cramped in photos, especially since the EID is so large, but I don't know if you're planning to take photos in the house or not.

 

I recently watched a YouTube video (not going to link here, cuz I don't want to start a fight), and I was sad. They really did not like Iplehouse bodies. I feel like I need to come to the defense of what is basically my favorite company.

Here are some pictures I took of poses of my nSID Mari. I think this is the best 60+cm body Iplehouse has made (I've owned and sold both the FID and HID bodies).

Kneeling/lounging, with head turned - I find posing Iplehouse heads to be pretty easy?


I will say that my favorite thing about these dolls is also their (potentially) biggest drawback - the torsos are solid and heavy, which makes one-legged poses impossible. The legs just aren't big enough to handle the weight of their torsos.

Mari is in the EID Punching Blouse outfit from Iplehouse (I reviewed it - it's nice, but not great). She's Peach Gold resin with an Iplehouse face-up. I purchased her from someone on Instagram. She was made in October of 2021, so she's practically new, and new to me.

I'm begging Iplehouse to make an nHID body. Pleeeaaase, Iplehouse!

 

Yeah, while Iplehouse aren't the greatest posers in the BJD world, I feel like people just don't know how to pose them well. I've shocked people at local meets by contorting my Eric and Leonard into natural poses equally as fluid as other companies. Yes, they're heavy, yes, this absolutely affects their balance and poseability, but, you just have to work with that!

 

I would think the weight of the doll would be kinda helpful since they would mimic human weight, but I haven't held an iplehouse doll before so I could be wrong

 

The elastic can only hold so much tension before the joint/limb/etc. becomes to heavy for it to hold. Generally, the lighter the resin, the less tension/strength needed to hold a pose.

 

Oh I see, then disregard that.

 

I so agree with this! I'm not good at posing any dolls...but I've seen people here do amazing posing with their Iples over the years.

Just received my doll from the EID additional head event and found out that they forgot to put the COA in.......pure sadness

 

Have you emailed them? That seems like a weird oversight on their end.

 

Do you mean a COA for the extra head? Many companies don't give a COA for a gift item.

 

Oh I misread then

 

Yes I emailed them! waiting for their response. Soon i hope

Well..... I placed multiple orders. The recent order that arrived yesterday came with 2 coa, 1 for each head. But the previous orders only came with 1 coa. So that's why I'm 100% sure they actually forgot to put it in

Also, it's not a gift item, I literally paid for the extra head D:
So this is just disappointing

 

Hello!! I’ve finally decided to bite the really big and expensive bullet of a second EID man, and I am leaning toward Lawrence.

Anyone have one who feels like posting photos?

 

@VampireAngel13 Lawrence is a gorgeous sculpt, and has a versatile expression But I wouldn't blame you if you have a hard time choosing, so many great options! I need to re-do wig and faceup and take better photos but here's mine:

 

@VampireAngel13 - Oh Lawrence is a wonderful sculpt! What resin color are you thinking about getting him in?
@Gamine - Oh your Lawrence is lovely! I love to see owner or custom faceups!

Here is a shot containing two Lawrences...one NS and the other RS...just to see the variety...

These two are gorgeous where did you get their faceups done?
