Iplehouse Discussion (YID, nYID, SID, EID, HID) Part 14

@scorps - Monique wigs that fit the EID women well are size 7-8. But other styles...like Amadiz wigs the 8-9 size fits.

Enjoy your Wendy Vampire and Jessica heads!

 

I find IH dolls have heads on the slightly small end of their listed size, not always but often enough to assume that most of mine are size 8 on the dot. I have some of mine in size 8/9 wigs and a good few in size 7/8 with a bit of stretchiness to the wig.
I mostly have male IH dolls, but Wendy Vampire is one of the girls I have and she fits into both 7/8s with give and smaller 8/9 wigs. I know that's a bit of a range, but based on wigs I've tried on my girl I'd say she's an 8. I'm not 100% without going and measuring mine, but feel Wendy is at lest very close to even 8 for size.. Jessica I am no help on as do not own her so can't even guess what would fit best.
Hope that helps you.

 

Would also like to add that Dollmore wigs for 8-9 size fit my Mari and Grace without looking too big, assuming those two sculpts are comparable in head size to Wendy and Jessica. (I haven't ever tried other wigs on Scarlet because her wig was selfmade.)

 

It all depends on the company where you are buying from. It's a learning process (I know, I went through it in my early years of collecting the larger 1/3 ladies)
Monique wigs 7-8 USUALLY will work fine but, and 8-9 is "fuller" and may be easier to put on.
As for Iplehouse wigs their 8-9 is a bit large and a wig cap may be needed. Their 7-8 size really is too small/tight.
SJ has 2 size ladies wigs now, their 7-8 is a bit snug on the Iple ladies but fits well on their "newer" ladies as I think SJ shrunk the heads a little bit because my SJ older wigs are too big for my newer SJ ladies (and a tight fit on my Iple ladies)
My "Amadiz" 8-9 wigs for both my Iple & SJ ladies fit perfectly.
Bottom line, it's better to get 8-9 and you can use a silicone "cap" under it so that it stays in place or, buy from someone/company that allows returns.

 

Is there anyone here who knows whether Iplehouse and Supiadoll have any compatible resin matches for their colors? I’m mostly interested in NS or one of the lighter tan colors but I’m not too picky

 

im considering getting a 1/4 girl, with an FID head on a Supia minisup body, but to my knowledge there are more people collecting SD sized Iplehouse dolls, so I thought there was a better chance of getting an answer here rather than the group for small dolls

 

The FID discussion group is fairly active to my memory, you'd be surprised

 

Just in case you wanted a "elf Vera" from Iple, her sculpt is up in Doll Choice, HID woman, EID woman, SID woman, YID woman.
I also noticed that "Fantasy Aaliyah" sculpt is available in the same categories.
If you want elf Aurora or elf Grace, ask on Q&A to put their sculpts in Doll Choice.

 

I have never looked at doll choice before! Just looked now and I've completely fallen in love with Bella. Is doll choice available all the time? I can't get Bella now as I already have 2 dolls on layaway but I need to plan for her!

 

Doll choice is available the 1st-15th of every month, and if you want ebony resin, if I recall, it’s only available every other month, but all the other colours are available anytime!!

 

Oh, thanks! I honestly can't believe I've never noticed doll choice before .

 

recently (last several months) "doll choice" has been available all the time.

 

Doll Choice is honestly the best. That's how I got my gorgeous Leonard after pining over him since his initial release years ago.

 

Bella is a lovely sculpt, very realistic I think. It took me ages to finally get one. She shares a body with my Raffine.

@LyanneNZ she's stunning!! You're making me want her even more . Is she in special real skin?

When I searched for Bella on the iplehouse website only one version of her came up and it was a one off sale. Is she not a popular sculpt?

Also, I'm a bit confused by all the different bodies for the 1/3 size. Do they all have the same size heads? Is there a better one or one that's best to avoid? Or are they just different for aesthetic reasons?

 

Usually, the HID,EID heads will look better on their HID or EID body, and the YID, SID heads are a bit smaller, and they look good on their bodies but, everyone is different and have put the HID/EID heads on the smaller bodies. It's a personal preference.
I can only speak of my experience=
I currently have EID Rania head on HID body, looks awesome! EID Carina & Bibiane heads I have had on HID (I currently have my Carina's on EID body, and my Bibiane head is on HID) I only have 1 YID, Rexy. She has a larger head for a YID and sometimes I put her on a small bust SID body that I have.
I have had a YID elf Vera on SID body, and because of the width of her ears, she looked good on that body.

 

@Loganberry So the bodies vary in height and shape, and the SID model boys and girls pose differently. (I think nicer/smoother).
The girls can all pretty much share heads across the board no issues as their necks are close enough between body types. Though I'd says some smaller heads could be awkward on the bigger girl bodies. Than again I have an EID Aurora elf head on the male SID model body and I think that looks fine for fit and size so shrug. (He was last of that option in Doll Choice before IH stopped letting you order girl heads on the SID male bodies)
Also as I typed this it looks like someone already answered you. XD

 

I'd also like to think that depending on the sculpting style of the female heads, there can be curious visual illusions when placing them on various bods. Here's an older photo of my Mari on the nSID body and Scarlet (another of those not-so-popular sculpts) on the HID female. Resin color aside, they could swap bodies if they wanted to, and even share wigs. But because Scarlet's face is more angular, it looks like they have different head sizes.
