Iplehouse Fashion Doll Discussion - Part 12

I have been buying a bunch of the new boy bodies in the 47-52cm range. I will try to review some possibilities next week. I have a FID Grace that I can use to check size. Do you know about what height you want?

 

Just jumping in to say I would also love to see this, for future hybrid planning!!!

 

Bumpety bump bump!

Question: is there a "fashion doll" or "mature mini" signifier that dealers use? So far, I'm not seeing one.

 

basically anything that will look good with an FID woman’s head, so probably bodies that are on the larger side of the 1/4 scale? Like a total dumbass I never thought to compare the FID head I had a while back to my Minifee/Bimong girls, but my gut tells me those are too short and skinny for the FID heads

 

I wonder how the new Bonbon Galaxy Mangosteen body would be? (sold at Kikagoods and other places I think). It's a mature boy body, but I'm not sure how it would look with a FID head!

 

I have the Bonbon Galaxy Mangosteen body on order. I'll try some bodies in a few days.

 

Ooh that's good to hear! I've been very curious about it!

@LyanneNZ - She is so gorgeous! And spectacular dress!

 

Showing off my girl (FID Soo), Noa.



Got a question for all the FID boys owner :
I am looking for a masculine haircut (pref. short) for my Tedros. Silver / Light gray (or white).
I have been hunting on Etsy but everything I like is MSD, so most likely 6-7" / 7-8". If you have stores or wig artist to recommend I am all ears.
My boy is painted, have all his clothing but... he is bald D: and I can´t wait to take pics of him @.@

 

Finding ready-made mature looking wigs in the smaller sizes is hard. I was searching for 5/6 wigs for my 2 newest boys (OT for this thread) and the frustration was at epic levels. If they're not childish looking, they're wildly girlie. And like 85% seem to have bangs.

I believe Chewin does wigs for the FID boys that look natural (and amazing). He usually has some in stock ready to ship but I think you can also commission a wig?

Wow, your Soo looks gorgeous! The faceup and the jewelry, just wow. Amazing doll.

And I second (or third?) the question about the short haircut. I've been wanting to get a FID boy for ages but the lack of short hair wigs is keeping me from buying one.
I've had my eye on SophyMolly on Instagram, she takes commissions and has short wigs in her repertoire, like this one, it's 5-6 inches and can be styled, I guess. But I have no idea how much they cost or how long they take to make though.

 

Sophy Molly used to have an Etsy shop and there was a wig or three that I would've loved to have for my boys. When I last saw them on Etsy they were listed as $130CAD for the most basic (the one I really wanted was $179CAD) and unfortunately for me, that's more than I'm comfortable paying for a doll wig. They are really beautiful though.

 

I commisionned a wig from Ebidoll with a lace front for my Tedros ( $150 ) and unfortunatly I do not like the result on my doll T.T.
I am not comfortable paying this price again not matter how beautiful the wigs are.

And I really like the wigs Chewin does !
I wouldn´t be against a long wig, styled to be more masculine (with some braids on one side - my Tedros is an elf - for exemple).

Oh my those FID really aren´t easy to customise xD.

 

I was lucky enough that one of my newest boys (who wears a 5/6) liked a wig I already had. It's a touch loose on him but it's also mohair on-skin so there's usually a little looseness involved there. My other newest boy also wears a 5/6 and he hated the available wigs I have in his size. But he really likes a 7/8 I have (I was testing for colourway/style regardless of fit). Nobody is wearing the wig and the doll I bought it for hated it so I could take it apart and remake it for him by I don't know if I'm that motivated to do all that. I have done that sort of thing before so I know I can but it's a pain.

The Doll Peddler has some 5/6 wigs in stock and some of them are more masculine in style. If you're in the US, shipping shouldn't be too bad for you (shipping US/CAN is terribly expensive right now at $20-$25CAD for just a 5/6 doll wig, sometimes making the shipping more than the wig). Facets still has some Monique wigs in stock in 5/6 but the selection is getting smaller as time goes by.

 

Your Soo is gorgeous @Sjota - lovely photo of her too.

I also have issues with wigs for the men dolls and would love some Chewin wigs for them.

 

just popping to see if anyone knows the answer to my question.
Is it possible to purchase just a body from iplehouse?
I love their sculpts and have a few floating heads it would be perfect for, but I couldn't see at a quick glance an option (and price) for just the body.

 

No, they only sell complete dolls. If you just want a body, maybe you could see if there's anyone who wants just a head, then order the complete doll, body for you, head of their choice for someone else.

 

As MB Lilac said, they only sell full dolls. But I know that I, at least, would be very interested in an FID head without a body.

 

I would highly recommend posting a WTB or an offer to host/split in MP. There are a significant number of folks (hi) who would like the heads, but don't like the bodies.
Also, if you're willing to wait, Iplehouse has offered the "add-a-head" sale for their FIDs before - so you could find a couple people who want to buy heads, but they don't like the bodies.
As an aside - Raccoondoll does sell their bodies separately, and Raccoondoll was started by a former Iplehouse person (I strongly suspect the person who sculpted Iplehouse bodies). The Raccoondoll bodies are a perfect match for Iplehouse, and they have a lot more posing capabilities.
