Joy doll discussion

What size head have you got? I got the 68-71cm Jose head version, and it appears much smaller than the head size suggested to me... the body I had for him (AnS 71 boy body) fits as far as neck circumference goes, but the head looks comically pea-on-a-stick like on it - probably due to the massive shoulders. I really would have needed the bigger version head.

 

Yes, I got the smaller size as well. I tried the head on my df-h 68 boy body that I have my Lai on and noticed some pinhead effect as well. I might try to put on a 65 or on a girl body.

 

What's with all the pinheading going on! So Jose is smaller than Lai even? It would be nice to hear if you found something that's a good fit. And if you put Jose on a girl I would so love to see that. That sounds interesting.
Mine is on an IOS class 70 body now that I happened to have. It fits somehow... but I might have to modify the neck if I want to keep it that way, make it a bit slimmer perhaps. I'm still on the fence about that... sigh.

 

I ordered the smaller size Jose and Jacob and I'm really hoping they're even smaller. I only have vague plans for both of them (Jacob will go with my Lai, who still does not have a faceup) but they kinda hinge on them being smaller than 68cm.

Both mine shipped but they've been hung up in the US for weeks and it's driving me nuts.

 

Here's a comparison of the Lai head versus the Jacob and the Jose. (on df-h 68) I think it's due to the narrowness of Jacob and Jose's faces in the cheeks and jaw.




and here they are all wearing the same wig. Seems like pretty much the same head circumference to me.



To me they seem fine at 68 if you like the look of a thick neck, but I was already thinking about going smaller, so now I'm really convinced!

 

@larvaltrust That is a fabulous comparison, thank you for posting!! I have my Lai on an old Dollstown body and if Jose-the one I'm most worried about- is the same size or a hair smaller he might be the perfect size for what I want

Now if they could only get here. With all the snow and ice we got the last few days I doubt it'll be any time soon.

 

Double-post, but they're here!! My tracking never updated, so I didn't think they'd make it!
They're so tiny!! (this is a good thing) Now I need bodies

 

I got my Jose, too! And two Jacobs, but I'm not keeping them. One is for a friend, the other a mysterious bonus/accident. I won't complain, because my friend wasn't sure which color she wanted, so now she can pick! I too need bodies... I think the small head look is just popular in China (and by extension much of the rest of the hobby) right now, but they are somehow smaller than I expected.

 

That occured to me too. I'm sure you're right about that.

I think if you like the more old school look, and pea heads on broad shoulders are not your thing (however trendy^^), you could go with a 65cm (or even smaller) body, but I haven't tried that yet. The IOS70 body I have Jose on is only 66cm incl. a head and it looks so much more in proportion than the 71cm body did. But the narrow chin/ jawline are quite in contrast to anything overly broad and muscular looking, so it's a thing of preference I guess.

@VampireAngel13 @Idoru : congrats on receiving your new guys!

 

@Idoru congrats!! I have tried Jose on the body my Lai is on - old DT15 (which I wish I would have bought more of before they got discontinued). Bald he looks ok, with wig, a little too big for this body, but he might keep it until I find him something else. I don't have a lot of bodies rn and he's my priority of the heads I have (but really he and Lai can share, I'm just not great at that)

Jacob...Not sure he'll work for the character I had in mind now that he's in hand, but holy hell do I want to turn him into a girl. I mean, I'm ready. If I had a body in mind I'm good to go.

 

Lai is an incredible sculpt. Every doll with that mold I've seen so far was completely different and always gorgeous.

 

Joydoll herself posted a few pictures on her Weibo back in July (Sina Visitor System) of the heads on a few bodies... I think the balance looks best on the Vings68, personally, but oh my wallet... That one is lovely and I'm obsessed with it but it is not cheap. Or always available.

My runner up is actually the body I was intending to get for my Abidoll head, but have decided it's actually too narrow in the shoulders, the Dikadoll 68. Not in her comparisons, though, so I'm frowning about it still. I will probably take my time, but oof he's so pretty it makes that hard!!

Spoiler: In case you can't access the Weibo post, the comparison!

 

Agree. I love mine, I just need to finish his faceup.

I gave him his body back, Jose is now on a Ringdoll Teen, which is just a hair taller, but has bigger shoulders and a longer neck so he looks really good. I'm done now, I like this. I just need to find another one somewhere so the doll I swiped it from can be complete too (though he's the Penguin, and my OCs and the DC characters don't really mix, so they can conceivably share)

Yeah those Vings bodies are nice!! So is the DK one. I like the shoulders, they're shaped nice.

 

Sorry for nosing in. Do you mind sharing what the head looks like on the RingDoll body?

 

Well I don't really have a way to post photos rn, but there are a couple bad ones on my instagram

I'm hoping the direct link will work but if not https://www.instagram.com/vampire_angel13/

the top three are Jose (under the pinned posts) - in two of them he's on the Ringdoll Teen body, in one the DT 15 boy body.
The doll he's next to is a Ringdoll K on a Dollmore Glamor model body who is 72cm for height

 

I lucked into a body for Jacob and I’m making him a girl, so I’m excited. Dollstown is selling in-stock bodies 40% off and I grabbed one for her

 

Congrats!
Also, thank you so much for the photo. It really helped.

 

Congratulation to those of you who were able to bring home Jose and/or Jacob! I have seen zero owner pictures of those sculpt- so I hope some of you will share pictures?

My Lai is here- his name is Naoto^^

 

I ordered the 68 Jose & Jacob heads from NCS recently, they're shipping right now ^.^ They're both for ocs i have but i only have a body for one currently.

 

I just got in a secondhand impl 62cm in mia white (8.8cm neck circumference 13.5cm shoulders) for my Jose head! Here she is beside my Lai on the 68 df-h
