Iplehouse Fashion Doll Discussion - Part 12

While disappointed that Iple still aren't icluding FIDs in their sale events, I couldn't resist. Rania is coming to live here

 

Hello good doll folk, I’m currently trying to settle my indecisive mind on my next doll, but I’m afraid I need some comparison help

I was hoping someone here would be able to tell/show me if the Iplehouse FID heads will fit the JID body (both for boys)? I love the FID head sculpts, but the character I want him for is rather slim and would look better with the JID Model body. Alternatively, does the FID head fit in a Minifee boy body?

 

I put my FID Lawrence head on one of my JID boy bodies because I needed a man with similar proportions to two old art dolls. The JID body was the right size for an adult with the two kids, but an FID head was better scale.

However, it was only temporary for that one particular photo shoot.

thank you so, so much ❤️ he looks great
do you know if I can order a doll like that right from Iplehouse or do I have to buy one JiD and one FiD, and then sell the spare parts on my own? .-.

 

You'll have to buy two separate dolls. But if "slim" is what you're looking for, then what about a Model FID? They are taller than a JID, but otherwise the same 'thickness'. My Model FID guys can share clothes with my JID guys. Here's Baron in the same outfit in the previous photo...

 

I agree. The FID model body is what I would recommend. And no need to make a hybrid.

 

Beauty and the Beast...

 

@MB Lilac She is lovely! And Winston is my favorite beast! What sculpt is she?

 

Thanks. She's Yur, in normal resin with an Iplehouse faceup.

I feel bad for the seller, but I just got an FID Nancy! And I love her! I need to do a face-up. She looks so forlorn, sitting blank on my work table.

 

I'm jealous. I want to add another girl to my collection.

Dragon babies! They are adorable! Miho and her granddaughter are lucky to have them!

 

Does anyone here have a Ron? I keep looking at the photos on the website every week and wondering if maybe I want to bring him home, but I don't know if his head is too small. I have a Heeah at home who has roughly a 6" head (6-7" wigs are too big for her, 5-6" are too small, sob...). Are the FID guys fairly consistent in their head sizes, or is there a variation?

 

I have one. His head is rather small, but not so much that it´s offputting for me. He´s wearing a 5-6 Monique wig, they fortunately stretch quiet alot. Unfortunately the company does not exist anymore. 6-7 would be way too big for him. But I love him!

 

I am back yet again with another conundrum

For a long time I’ve been looking for a good replacement sculpt for my old Soom Dia boy, but in 1/4 scale, and I think the FID Stella could work pretty well. Obviously I can’t use the FID girl body since it’s suppose to be a guy, so I was wondering if anyone here has ever successfully hybridized an FID girl in terms of resin color and body size? From what I’ve been able to gather, Ringdoll NS is pretty close to Iplehouse WS, but that’s the only color I’ve been able to match so far nevermind if the size will fit

 

I feel like I've seen a hybrid with a Doria head, but when I looked all I could find was one in SD size, so I guess I was mistaken. I'm also pretty sure I've sold FID girl heads to people who were going to make boy hybrids, but I don't know what ever became of them, which is unhelpful to you! I've made a fair few hybrids, but not that particular one sadly, and I think the important things are looking at the height (too short will look silly, and also if you want to match other dolls it's important) and neck size - too big a neck and it will look stupid and you'll have to mod it, which might not work, too small and the head will keep flopping down. Also - too childish a body with a mature head looks wrong!

In terms of resin match - I found the Iplehouse NS is similar to Souldoll, however, I thought the body was a bit short - I tried a Raccoondoll girl head on the boy body (picture below, in the middle next to a complete Iplehouse boy on the right).

Raccoondoll girl heads are slightly smaller than FID girl heads too. So I thought I'd post that so you could see how it looks! Otherwise - probably depends on what style body you want? Dream Valley have a lot of slim but tall MSD bodies, and so does Dollzone. Maybe if you say if you want a tall, muscley body or what sort of style/height, people might have some more ideas? (Or I might have. I am WAY too devoted to making hybrids!)
I have a whole pinterest board of bodies I was considering for my Raccoondoll girl head/boy body hybrid here: https://au.pinterest.com/mbailey0570/doll-reference/raccoondoll-boy-hybrid-body-reference/
Hope that gives you some ideas?
Oh! And I just realised I did in fact try the FID Doria head on the Souldoll boy body here: https://au.pinterest.com/pin/354588170660553027/ - I forgot I did that! It doesn't look too bad? White skin head on a NS body though, so not much help for resin matching.
Hope at least some of that helps!

 

I’m trying to recreate my Soom Dia/Feeple hybrid boy in 1/4 scale, and so far the FID Stella head is the best contender for the head I’ve been able to find

he’s supposed to be a slender boy without looking like a child, if that helps? Spiritdoll and Ringdoll have some really nice bodies that match the visual vibe I want, but they don’t make them in 1/4 scale I have considered using a Minifee body, but while I love them a lot, but I would like this doll to be a bit taller

edit:
The Souldoll bodies are super nice, but they are virtually impossible to get a hold of at the moment; Souldoll currently has a backlog of orders going back over a year, and I really do not want to deal with that .-.
