Every one's JIDs look so amazing! I am very impatiently waiting on my two girls Faline and Asa. I want to take photos so bad of them haha.

 

Roterwolkenvogel Thank you! Pazuzu looks gorgeous as always!
gaurweth What body did you ordered your girls, the new or old one?

 

@chibi-kagu I ordered Faline with the new body type not knowing there was an old body type and I found Asa secondhand with the old body type. I am now waiting impatiently waiting for them to come home so I can compare them haha.

 

I can finally post again in this thread now that my Violet is back from the faceup artist! Here she is with her resin father (a Granado Michael hybrid).

gaurweth Oh that sounds interesting, please share the compare over here too. Hope your girls arrive soon!
AntarelNefertili Beautiful girl over there, looks little bit mystic!

 

I got my Asa today! I cant wait to get some good photos of her. It looks the like the previous owner sueded her and I think her breast joint was glued down but she seems to pose well enough so since she can pass for a boy I think I will make her my cosplayer/con buddy. I will post photos of her when I can!

 

Hello everyone, I want to buy Iplehouse Daniel. However I heard that the mobility of Iplehouse body is not very well. So I would like to get any negative or positive feedbacks. Thank you!

Have a nice day!

 

I own quite lot of Iplehouse.... including Daniel. The JIDs aren’t so bad compared to the larger ones. With tight stringing and proper sueding, they can pose decently. It just knowing the tricks on how to get the joints to poses. Mobility legs has more range than the non mobility legs. They’re not a horrible posers, but also not the best. But their aesthetic makes up for it.
Daniel is one of the lovely and popular sculpt for the JID boys.

 

Thank you so much for your reply. It's really helpful. Which doll do you think is the best poser?

 

I can’t really say. I am really biased about Iplehouse seeing that they take up about 75% of my collection. JID and SID in my opinion are better poser than others, mainly they aren’t that too heavy. As for other companies outside Iplehouse, I own 5Stardoll and Angel of Dream. 5stardoll MSD can almost equal with minifee in posing, which I accidentally found out with my own 5SD MSD and they happen to be single jointed! Impressive, eh? Of all dolls in BJD-dom, fairyland has the best engineering for posing. Loongsoul comes in next as well Souldoll. I’ve owned both before and find them very well done.
Again, I am biased about Iplehouse, as it’s occasionally coined, Ipleddicted.

 

I have many iplehouse dolls in EID, SID, YID, but I only have 1 JID male. As cloudsorano mentioned, iplehouse dolls have a bit of a learning curve in terms of posing ability, but it does improve greatly with a tight string and some sueding.

Learning how their joints work is half the battle, and finding clothes for these big MSD boys will take the other half. The muscular type body (which is the one I have) is too big for most MSD clothing, so unless it is stretchy fabric it won't fit.

Another benefit of a JID is its ability to look young/old, depending on their style.

Thank you for your advise! It’s really helpful! Actually, I heard the same thing from others as well. Finding cloth is a little bit challenge.

 

when it comes to bjd's posing always depends "ultimately" on the HUMAN. I suck at posing not matter how 'posable' a doll is. It's about practice and patience.. CAN iple's pose? YES... you just have to find your way with them. Some can't pose an Iple to save their lives. Some can twist them up like they are acrobats. I'm barely able to do it but if i put time into it I can. Also ... mobilty joint... you need it for posing... sueding helps to I hear but none of my dolls are. You also have to learn how to shoot (pics) from the best angle to make things look as close to natural as possible. And what looks natural to a camera may not be what you think. Reality often looks odd but the camera sees different.

 

I can't help too much since I have one JID girl and one EID boy but I feel like the JID I have poses well enough even with my lack of experience but it also looks like the previous owner also sueded her.

 

I think the JID's are allright posers. It can be sometime's tricky yes, but with patience and experience you can get nice pose's. I really should string and suede my JID's again. They are starting to feel loose and wonky, so right now it's nerve wrecking to get them keeping the right position. Well I think I haven't done the stringing with those in 4 years, so yeah, it should be a time for that.

Would someone here help me please?

I have a real skin IH JID Ryan. Recently his left foot
broke; the tab where the tension string attaches
broke off. My problem is that I didn't purchase him
from Iplehouse but from a friend. This was some
6 years ago. I'm no longer in contact with the person
I bought him from and I didn't get his CoA so I can't
obtain a new foot from Iplehouse.

Might someone here with a real skin JID boy be willing
to get a new left foot from Iplehouse. I will cheerfully
reimburse you fully and some extra. I'll even send it
in advance once you've established the fee.

Thanks

 

@TomB ... you can buy parts from Iplehouse. Product list

Thank you!

Guess I was looking in the wrong place.
