Island Dolls Mini Discussion part 1

Good luck with your modding. I can understand why that would be an issue, though I think the big eyes was part of what drew me to the Lilith sculpt. I can't wait to see how your girl turns out Kerantli.

I loved her big eye in the company photos, but when it came to them in person, I knew they would end up making me really annoyed. I did the proper version earlier on, it's not the exact same as the practice, but she will still take 10mm eyes, maybe 12mm to stop gapping, or find white eye putty. Also with her body, it's more mature than most of my other MSDs (having the large bust, not the small bust like Katie), so the 18mm made her look really young when her body makes her look older.

 

Faye just came back from her face-up. It fits her so well.

 

I went on another modding spree... did you know the resin around their chest joint is really thin? So much so, I cracked Katie's by accident..

Also, your Faye looks lovely Moonhawke

 

Oh dear. That's awful! I hadn't noticed, but I'll keep that in mind if i decide to start modding.

Thanks Kerantli. I hope you can fix your girl.

 

It isn't a bad crack, but you can tell it's there.



Though, I am annoyed at myself for the deep gash at the top of the bust

 

Hi everyone - I'm wondering if hejin is a midi or a tiny? She's nearly 40cm tall, so....? http://www.acbjd.com/hejin-p-7290.html?cPath=415_429

Also can anyone please tell me is 'island' colour pinkish or yellowish? Does it change colour much over time? Thanks

 

Elve, my Katie is in Island skin (picture just above your post is her chest piece) and is roughly 41cm, so I think that Hejin might just scrape into the midi size (thinking about it logically, minifee around 39/40cm tall and are classed as MSD).

As for if the island skin is more pinkish or yellowish, I can't quite tell as I think most of my "normal" skin tones look the same to me. I can probably put her against my doll zone Helen and ImplDoll YunYan if you want? (as I know you'll have some sort of clue of what their normal skin tone will look like)

 

thanks for that info Kerantli I've just had a look back through your photos on this thread and next to your white girl, Katie does look more pink than yellow, which is just what I'm wanting - thanks! Good to know HeJin is a midi, because so far I've posted in the other 2 Island Doll threads and no joy! I didn't realise they classed such a small doll as 'midi' - I'm thinking she will be quite easy to dress though as her hips and waist are SD size and her top is midi sized - so she just needs a cropped top I guess, over a 1/3 size skirt or shorts? She is so cute and different - although I don't collect normal midis, I love her!

 

Yeah, the Island threads aren't all that active, as you can see recently it's just been me and moonhawke with the occasional Guls in this one...
It does look like Hejin will fit into SD skirts/shorts around the waist/hips as they're bigger than the 17.5cm hips than what the other girls have. I'd say normal MSD tops should fit the top half though, but don't hold me to that as I can't check Katie's any more due to the modding I've done, and Jess (Lilith) is a large bust anyway

 

well I confess I haven't even looked at Island dolls for years - I had put them in my 'not interested' category as none of their work grabbed me - I only stumbled across their new range of sculpts on Alices Collections, and was very impressed! Really want the new tiny cat too They seem to have got a new sculptor or a new designer or something now as they are making some very interesting and unusual sculpts - and their clothing is really lovely too if it's as good as it looks - I'd love HeJin's default outfit, but really can't afford it (not when I NEED 3 of those tiny cats!)

ETA - well I took the plunge and ordered her! I've just sold all my midis as 'I don't collect midis' LOL - but she is very different and going to be a real challenge to dress! Strangely Alices Collection is the ONLY dealer who lists her http://www.acbjd.com/hejin-p-7290.html?cPath=415_429

 

I iope this is the right place to ask this. There is this awesome new Shukaku. I found him on the official site but DDE and MoC don't have him. There is a seller on eBay. DollOnline2009. They have good feedback and a good layaway. They have the new Shukaku as well. They have a number of great dolls. Does anyone know if they are authorized? The last time I tried contacting AOD and IslandDoll about another seller (no feedback, insane low prices) I was sure they were unauthorized I got no answer but when I got back from Egypt their auctions were cancel led and I did not have to pay for the two I won. They do look pretty legit but i can be pretty naive (thank you ECUSA for that)

Thanks all!! I LOVE IslandDoll. I have a Cassandra and a Kevin on layaway.

 

I'm not sure about the ebay seller, but FF&D may be able to order the doll for you. I ordered a blue 1/6 body through Iris, she doesn't have that listed on the site but she was able to order it from them. She's also very flexible with layaways too.

 

I need to stop falling off the face of the planet (I have a silly reason for that too.. I've been playing sims 4). But in honor of having Katie for a year, she is finally starting to come together!



Just need to sort clothing out and I'll finally be happy with her [emoji3]

 

Is it me, or does the ID Amy look more like a teen / adult and IH Amy more like a child?

 

I've not seen an IP amy apart from on the site so can't comment, but I think my ID Amy looks almost child like over teen like, but that may be from the bust reduction I gave her. Now my ID Lilith is more adult like than my ID Amy, as I modded her (Lilith) eyes so they are smaller than the 18mm size they should be (which didn't match her large bust)

 

good day
Can I join this discussion ^_^
My last doll (yet without makeup)

oh yaaaay - another hejin! She is so cute Ruthwen - I love how you've dressed her

Annnnnd mine arrived today too! Just over a month after ordering - and she was stuck in UK customs for over a week too - but super-fast from China! She is really fun to dress and very cute I think - really different - my little dumpling She's wearing 1/3 size shorts from Alices, and a very useful YOSD size dress from poinsettia04 on etsy - it's way too small and doesn't fasten in back properly, but the halter neck means it fits most of my smaller dolls. She was in fact too big for the midi tops I have! I don't collect midis though so only 2 to choose from - I think she'd fit a midi boy's teeshirt fine - something with stretch, although it would need to be cropped as she widens out to SD size very quickly. Dollzone midi boots - they are quite big though anyway. This is a pic of her next to my dollzone midi Jake - he is dwarfed by her - she's a bonny lass! I've called her Hayley
