IsLand Doll Discussion

orchestralstab, aw...thanks!!

 

Hi. I just ordered Odin in suntan. I went all out and got jointed hands too. It's been forever since I bought any wigs. Should I be getting the 8/9 size for him or 9/10? I did the math and his head comes out to 9 inches.

These posts are making me want another IslandDoll now in the dark tan

 

Hi, his head is listed as 23 cm. Odin_ASIR(73cm)_Doll_NORSE MYTH_Islanddoll

Personally I would go with 9/10 as they cover 22cm-24cm. I think a 8/9 covers 21cm-23cm. I've had some really varied experience with supposed 8/9 so it's a chance!! Some are pretty small and snug and some too large. At least with the 9/10 you could use a wig cap?? I'm no expert so get more opinions.

I'd love to see your guy when he arrives!

 

@silentstardust : I have an Odin and he does fit in an 8/9- but his wig is also pretty darn stretchy. I believe the one in this photo is a Crobi 10. I can check when I get home, if you want. Sadly, my order history on their site doesn't tell me what the heck size I ordered. I doubt I went with an 8 though. I don't think that would stretch over his big noggin at all.

 

Oh he's awesome @BlitheFool ! How does he compare to other SD dolls size-wise? Is he really buff?

And congrats on your order @silentstardust

Some spam of Naledi and her pretty triangles :P

 

@Cydril Naledi is so gorgeous, I love seeing pics of her!

 

@Cydril You keep making me impatient to get a dark tan doll. Yours is so pretty!

 

Wow! She's gorgeous @Cydril

'Star (Odin) has actually been on a temp. body- his Island Doll bod is supposed to arrive tonight! So I can take comparison pics with my other buff dudes if anyone would like. I'm pretty sure he'll be taller than most of them.

@silentstardust - I tried a 9/10 wig on time and it fits very nicely. Not too huge. It was an Iplehouse 9/10. He does wear a wig cap though- if that makes any difference to you.

 

@Cydril Say, just how flexible is that body? Especially the legs, since they don't have thigh joints.

 

Thank you guys

@iamkathybrown , the mobility is about what you would expect. The legs don't really have any side to side movement, but he can sit on his feet and cross legged without too much effort. I will say, the ankles are the worst part, super wobbly. I think he will be better once he is hot glue sueded.

 

I decided to get just a head for now. That dark tan resin really is amazing! Here is the box opening!:

@BlitheFool I love the face up on your Odin. I've been looking at Crobidoll wigs for awhile now, does it take very long for the to ship/how are the shipping charges?

 

@iamkathybrown , she loos so nice! The dark tan really suits that sculpt.
Im pretty sure the oily spots are just mold release spray. It shows up on darker dolls, but it should rinse off.

 

@bananapudding -Crobi is fast! They're usually only a couple days from ordering to shipping for wigs. They don't generally send an email though when they ship. You have to check your order status on their website.

 

Thanks!

 

I realize now that I never put up a picture of my (still unnamed) head with her eyes in.

 

What body are you planning for her?

 

A Granado Female Nuevo. The measurements are similar and it keeps the boyish look I want. But it is so pricey! It will be a while. And custom colors are for VIPs only. I guess I'll have to order through someone. I toyed with getting a much cheaper Impldoll Star, but the neck is a bit big and it is a bit too tall and shapely for what I want. It's hard finding shoulders broad enough for this honking huge head. Hybrids, amiright?

 

@iamkathybrown it may match Granado's Chocolate resin? They both look pretty darn dark.

 

I was thinking that, but I don't know how to check and I don't want to buy an expensive body and have a horrible match.
