Kanadoll Discussion

His lovely!

 

Thank you! His horn avid, so now he’s a proper unicorn

 

I have a Kana Mars and a Dollstown 18 body I can try it on. The head is WS and the body is Oriental, but if you only want size comparison, it should be ok?
I'll try to do it sometime this week!

 

@Constance that's unexpectedly perfect!! The kana Mars head is exactly the one I’d like to see!! I’m only interested in proportions so this would be super helpful, thank you

 

Is there anyone maintaining the list of Kanadoll heads with the circumference and eye sizes? I see DoA has a list but it drops off at Jupiter, and there's been a few since.

 

I sadly do not have measurements of Kana Doll sculpts as I only have Lucien.

I did get him more or less finished now though!

I got him a proper wig, a pair of glasses, a better looking shirt for his vibe, and decked him out in knickknacks for stuff he could need while traveling as a unicorn messenger. I also painted his horn tip gold as silver just wasn't fitting his aesthetic.

 

I asked a question of the artist about another Adrian release and got a really interesting response back:

"Thank you so much for liking my dolls.
The plans for 2023 are not clear.
But I'm making a second version Adrian and I think I'll sell it in next year."

I'm not sure if that's something the artist had already shared on social media, but I know I thought it was something I'd be on the lookout for, at least.

 

Thanks for the info. I am on the lookout for Mars (no.5), pickings are thin on the secondhand market. I'm not sure when Mars was last released but it seems to have been a few years?

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what Kana decides to do. That's the challenge with small artisans! Kana started releasing sculpts while I was on my long BJD hiatus, so I've missed some lovely ones.

 

New preorder from Kana! She's sculpted Adrian no.15 for 65-70cm bodies, and is opening preorders for him on Feb 1 - 5. Here's the link to order info. Be ready!

Adrian no.15 looks like an older, more mature version of Adrian no.3! Kana does such wonderful work.

In other news... he was an elusive boy, but I finally have Mars no.5. He was worth the hunt. I got a Migidoll body for him but while the proportions are fine, the resin doesn't match well. (Brand new Migidoll meringue beige is quite pink, while Kana's normal skin is yellow-toned, it looks similar to Volks pureskin normal.) He's currently in temp eyes and wig, and I will be replacing the body in time, but for now... I'm so glad I have him!

omg, I'm sorry, it ended up totally slipping my mind, and I only just remembered when I saw the parts while cleaning.

Not sure if you still need the pics, but here they are just in case:



The head's neckhole is far too small for the neck. The head's a tad pinheaded on the body, too.

If you need any other photos, please let me know! (I'll write it down next time, I promise;;

 

For people who have bought a NS Kanadoll head in the past year or so, would Switch milktea rose skin match it more closely than Volks NS? I've noticed that the Kanadoll head I have is much more peachy than then Volks NS bodies I have.

I've been having a hard time finding that particular comparison though. Anyone with insights?

 

Hmm, milk tea rose is not at all peachy to my eye. I'd think the new powder beige would be closer. I have all of those resins but they are all more than a year old. My Adrian is on an older Volks body that has yellowed so he matches pretty well.

 

Is Kanadoll's resin stable in colour? In other words - ignoring yellowing/ageing, do heads from different releases/years generally maintain similar colour?

I'm looking to order a Doll Family-H body for my normal skin Mars, and would like DFH to colour match to Kanadoll's normal without having to send them a piece of my resin. Just wondering if I can assume that Kanadoll's resin is consistent enough that DFH won't make a drastically different coloured body for me. I've already failed to match Mars with one hybrid body (Mars is yellow toned, the hybrid body is pink toned) and I don't want to repeat this mistake.

 

I'm still kind of at a loss for what to do. I'd like to get a Doll Family H body and I know they match to: volks, little monica, xaga doll, IOS, Soom, Switch, Dim, Angel studio, Nine9, Dika, DF-A, Charm Doll, LoongSoul, Napi, ramcube, doll zone, myou doll, dearmine.

Does anyone know if Kanadoll heads closely match any of those companies NS? I know Volks NS is kind of close but does not have a slightly peachy tone to it that the NS head seems to have.

So do any of those companies NS read as "slightly peachier than NS Volks?" Based on my research maybe NS Switch? Maybe NS Little Monica? Can anyone confirm either of these for heads made in the past couple of years?

 

@vermaxen Well, my question above notwithstanding, I recently ordered a DFH body for my Mars and asked DFH to resin match to "Kanadoll normal". They agreed - so it appears that Kanadoll is in their reference library of resins, and I don't need to send them the headcap. I expect that whatever Kanadoll reference they have will be closer to my Mars, than if I just ordered DFH's "normal yellow".

According to my notes from my hybrid searches for Mars, matches for Kanadoll normal are: Little Monica normal, Soom NS, original Switch NS (not their current resin palette). That's what I've found, but I own none of your listed resins so I can't give hard evidence.

 

@aihre actually that's hugely helpful! I didn't realize they matched to Kanadoll directly. Fingers crossed that it's a good match

 

@aihre @vermaxen Just as an aside, if you ever need to send in a color sample for resin matching no need to send in a doll part. Just go down to your local hardware/paint store with a piece of the doll and find the closest matching paint chip to your dolls resin color and then send that in. They're generally free, and if that happens to get lost in the mail you're only out postage.

 

Getting my Eden painted and would like to buy a set of eyes and pefer the more real look so i usually go with small iris. Im trying to see if i should by 14mm or 16mm with small iris. Also if anyone can do head mesurments for a custom wig that would be so much help. Id need circumference, ear to ear and around the for head and forhead to nape of neck. Id use adrian as a guide but heard hes quite different in size. Thanks ahead for whoever can help me.

 

My Kanadoll Mars is finally whole!



Vallant is Mars on Doll Family-H, 65cm boy body with the 3part torso. I asked DF-H to colour match to Kanadoll normal, and they did a splendid job. There's a bit of pink tinge to the resin, but I think this will fade over time and match Mars better (he's 6 years old after all). The colour difference is really small and I don't really notice it.

He's currently wearing 14/6mm Enchanted Doll eyes. I tried 7mm irises in him and they just look too big and doll-like. 5 or 6mm irises are much better. And he definitely has a 8-9" head - "small 1/3" wigs from Taobao fit him just fine.

So, so pleased that my boy has his own body at last! I feel so privileged to have one of Kana's sculpts.

.
Can I ask for a roll call? The thread is so quiet... I'd love to see more Kanadoll sculpts.

 

In case we haven't talked about it, Kana is releasing a 70cm/75cm sculpt and I'm absolutely wanting to get him!
Only issue is I'm hoping to get a Telesthesia and Dragon body for him instead of a DF-H one like I was originally thinking and I'm not 100% sure Telesthesia normal pink is in the realm of possibility for matching Kanadoll normal. I know it's dead on for loongsoul imported normal yellow if that's useful.
