Island Doll Discussion

@LaughingFox12

I love the dark tan as well! I am very excited about seeing it in person. I look forward to seeing your island skin as well! I think it’s a very nice tan!

 

Does anyone happen to know what happened to the Island Doll website? When I went to check them out it looked like everything was down and I was getting a weird MySQL error; is anyone else having this issue? (I was having this pop up both on my phone and on computer.)

 

It looks like their server's down. I'm not 100% sure though.

 

Crossposting from the Granado thread.
I just found a surprising near match, about 85, 90 percent I think. You see, I sent a Islanddoll dark tan head cap to Granado about two months ago. It finally arrived and it turns out it is pretty close to Granado chocolate, and would be way cheaper to boot. Here's what Granado said:


"Hello,

We have got your head cap. Here is the picture we put our chocolate skin resin and yours together.



As you can see, our chocolate skin resin is darker, and less red tone."


I know dark tans are a pain to hybrid, so hopefully this helps someone. I think I'll go with the cheaper one. That gives me more money for dolls. Shame I had to wait so long and pay for postage to found that out, but what can you do?

 

hello i was wondering what are the size of the island doll jointed hands like the actual size of the hands themselves? thank you ^^

 

My girl is complete at long last! Here is a pic:

Can anyone show me a Island doll first 62 cm boy body? ( Doll Parts, Island Doll - BJD Dolls, Accessories - Alice's Collections )

I have a Ringdoll Red King head. It's a very little SD head and his caracter a androgynous man. He needs shapely legs and ankle etc., but there are not many pictures of the Island body on the net.
I would like to see his knees and ankle. The body measurements are true? The body is posing well?

I would like to see pictures of this body from owners and I'm interested in all information and experience.

 

So I was collecting purchasing info about my dolls for potential insurance stuff, and when I looked at the Sparkle head on the Island Doll website I realized that their sales photo, unlike the ones for every other head, was in dark tan! I don't know if that picture is of mine, or if they had leftover dark tan, but I found it pretty amusing.

 

My super buff Veranoen /Granado Embody hybrid!

He looks cool! What color is that?

 

@iamkathybrown

Body is chocolate skin!

 

Wow, it looks so different in that lighting.

I always have trouble getting any details to show:

 

Hi, joining in with my new character Noah. We are working on their identity now. I've wanted one for years so this is a dream come true.

Your Noah is beautiful! Congratulations!

 

Thank you! He went outdoors today with Rog on the swing. He still doesn't have a name, he kicked out the one I came up with. Off for another round of internet Name that boy.

Does anyone have a Norse Myth 73cm boy body? I''m looking into hybridizing the Wind Doll line's "Yun Xin" head (which does not use the usual Wind Doll bodies), and I'm not sure how precise that neck measurement is.

I've heard that 1.0cm difference between head and neck doesn't matter too much, but the Impldoll Idol's neck is 12.5cm, and Yun Xin's neck hole is potentially smaller than that. I'm concerned that the combination might sit oddly without sanding.

Also, is anyone familiar with both Island Doll and Impldoll's White Skin? Although, one or both companies might be using environmental resin now, which is probably a bigger problem for matching.

 

Hi all,
I bought Island doll 70 cm body in milk white resin second hand, hybrid with Dream of Doll head. I used other body for my DoD since and this body stayed in the box with no head. Do you know other company head that can match Island doll 70 cm male white milk resin? Thanks in advance.

 

I just ordered my first "big" doll last month - Jonas on the 65cm body. Does anyone have any suggestions about what fits (clothes or patterns - I can sew but I need a place to start.) Thanks!

 

Hello. My Island Doll Vivian has new face up by Aridede!

 

So nice to see your Vivian! She's a lovely sculpt and yours looks great! Here's my Vivian with face-up by Jay's Petite Salon (Jay Searle). I love her little teeth (mine don't show in this particular photo due to the angle).
