IpleHouse JiD Mini Discussion Part 19

@Amadiel - A/S is "After Service," which makes the word "service" in their message sound redundant... but it's the Support - Hospital section on their site, I believe!

 

I think that is their after care, thing. I don't know what the AS stands for, but it is to make it possible to buy replacements for broken parts and such, I believe.

 

Just wanna show JID Jud who lived in my place for some time by now. Don't see him often)

 

@Darlin He is handsome! Is that company face up or custom?

 

@Darlin He is very handsome! And he looks more mature than most of the JID boys!

 

What a gorgeous face! He's such a cute boy!

 

I have an Iplehouse Ryan, Strongman Partner. Poor little Ryan's right foot has come off - the ring on the foot is broken off and long gone. I was about to order new feet for him when I realized I don't know what skin he has. The COA doesn't say. Does anyone know what color replacement feet I should order?

 

We'd need to see a photo of him. But to be sure you could ask Iplehouse in Q&A. Give them your COA number and tell them you aren't sure what colour he is. They probably have records.

 

Did you hear me slap the side of my head? Of course, that's what I should do. Thank you.

That's such a pretty face-up. Her knees look pink - is her body blushed, too?

 

@Violet Kidd
You know what, I am out of town away from her for about a month, and I'm not sure. I'm going to bring her up to Seattle to live near my granddaughter. I did ask Jay to body blush her, so you are probably right. She needs a hairdo and a wardrobe, too. A girl can't just run around in her undies, no matter how pretty they are!

 

My Ryan, Strongman Partner was feeling left out - everyone else had new clothes. So today was his day. I need to restring him and probably buy him new feet (one foot lost it's hook and has a metal replacement hook screwed in - but it's not great for mobility). He is showing his age, but he was my first Iplehouse doll - so he has a special place here.

He's gorgeous @Violet Kidd . I love my Ryan. He was my first boy doll except for Ken, Barbies boyfriend, LOL

 

Do you have Ryan's gauntlets? My boy lost his before he came to me. I'd like to try to reproduce them but I'm not sure how they fastened.

 

Unfortunately, I got my Ryan blank, no full set @Violet Kidd I really love that outfit though!!!

 

Love his hairdo and outfit!! I believe you were asking for his skin colour on an earlier post? He looks like he could be special real skin to me

 

If he is older he could be the original "real skin" as well, before the "special" was added to the name. I could remeber it wrong, but I think it had a slightly colder hue and it was one of those skin colours that sometimes changed a bit strangely over time wich is probably why they canged it and why it can be hard to find reliable pictures of it.

 

Yes, the original Real Skin is different than what it is now. It had French resin in the formula so was more translucent. It also had more 'green' or 'yellow' undertones depending on what the weather as like when the doll was made. Iplehouse changed their resin formula after they started having trouble getting the French resin, so took it out. After that the real skin resin became very matte, and with definite red undertones. Most of my JIDs are the older Real Skin. The only two who aren't, were ordered in Glow Real Skin in the hopes that it would match the older Real Skin, but it did not.

But getting a replacement foot for an older real skin doll wouldn't be a problem. The colours will be close enough, even if not exact. People claim that the Glow Resins are more translucent, but I've not found that to be the case, and in fact the Glow Real Skin is even darker and more red than the standard Real Skin (which I have many BIDs, KIDs, and FIDs in)

 

Thank you. This is great information. I'm going to keep the screw hook foot as long as possible, but should probably go ahead and order new feet - it takes so long for an order to arrive that he'll probably be footless by then. And yes, he is a little green. I didn't notice it so much until I set him up for a picture near a window and thought he looked a little like the Hulk.

 

Thank you. I'm such a terrible wig maker, so I was surprised when this one came out so well. I bought some wonderful fabrics from a woman in LA who buys old kimonos and deconstructs them. The silk she sells is wonderful.

 

The original Real skin did have a tendency to 'yellow'. or 'green' a little, but some even started out that way. My Kyle from 2012 always looked like he was 'green', right out of the box, yet it never showed up in photos. Same with my KID Lisa. Iplehouse even said back then that the real skin could lean towards 'green' or 'yellow' undertones depending on the weather. Which is the main reason that I've never ordered any doll in PG, as it makes the old RS look even greener. if two dolls those colours are photographed together. Now Special Real Skin is quite a bit more red, so there's no problem with that. But most of my JIDs, KIDs and BIDs are the older RS.
