Mature 1/6 Dolls - part 3

I missed jade but I am definitely eyeing Gabriel the engineering they have done on these tiny guys it’s incredible and posing is a huge selling point for me. I’m also bringing home a magic mirror May soon.. I don’t know if anyone has both, but I’m really curious if they would look good together

 

I too missed Jade--I'm curious if the Granado boys would look good with May too, though! I can totally see it working, she's got a really small head and so do they... I haven't seen too many of those girls floating around to know for sure. Really hoping someone in here has both and can post a pic!

 

My May should be here next week and I can share a pic of her with my soom metato… which isn’t exactly the same but kind of close lol Thankfully Gabriel’s order period is open another few weeks to give me time to decide. I’m also realizing how tempting it is to make room boxes for these guys… I might have to go searching for 1/6 furniture tutorials

 

I have a Magic Mirror May and a number of Granado guys. Do you have a preference for which body you would like to see?

 

Ohh Nancy that would be awesome! I’m thinking about one of the 32 cm for my potential Gabriel, either the adagio2 or the 32 evolve but happy for any pics you have to share

 

Hi everyone! I ordered my first bjd mid January. It’s a Vieruodis from MYou. I’m expecting to receive her soon. I’m so excited! I want to dress her up like a custom character from one of my favorite games, Dragon Age, but since I can’t make clothes (yet) I’m looking for someone who does commissions for MYou adult minis. Someone who can either make renaissance-like dresses, mage robes or armor. Does anyone here know someone who can do that?

 

@Misawai That’s so exciting! Congrats! I don’t know of any seamstresses for this size, but it’s worth noting that the Myou girls can fit into a lot of Barbie clothes, so you might be able to find something/someone if you look there. Just have to watch out for things that are tight across the hips, since Myou girls are much wider there.

 

Oh congratulations! Like Keiko-chan said, I bet if you look for someone who does Barbie stuff you'll be in luck. I know Requiem Art has some fantasy type patterns you could try, if you want to dip into sewing yourself. Maybe not the PERFECT fit for Dragon Age stuff, but a good place to start (her patterns tend to be geared to beginners, too).

I think anyone who can work from measurements/does 1/6 scale commissions in general is likely to be able to help you! I'd wait until you have her in hand so you can take measurements yourself, though, since sometimes company ones are slightly off or a seamstress might want ones that aren't shown. I don't have any names to give you since I do all my own sewing, but good luck! (And if you find someone, please feel free to drop a name here--I'm sure others would appreciate it also!)

 

@Misawai Capsuledoll might be able to do something, they sew for lots of sizes. They're currently on hiatus to work on commissions but say that you can message them if you want commission them. I'll also second the suggestion about Barbie clothes, those are pretty much all my boys wear since I find that 1/6 sized clothes are often somehow simultaneously too big and too short for them.

 

I don’t know of any armor, but on eBay there are some good Barbie options for mideval and rennaissance gowns. Maybe the “Guinevere theatre” vintage purple gown or something from the Dolls of the World Series? I don’t have any armor but I’m contemplating a Granado boy who would need some so I might be in the market as well- please keep us posted if you find any!

 

Thanks for the replies everyone! I’ll look into the suggestions you sent. If I find someone I’ll post an update

 

I recently bought a Limhwa Sara off of the marketplace in this size, and I think I'm hooked I need more of them! I even am going so far as to make a dollhouse for her and everything I hope to post some photos soon but for now she's going to be off for a faceup!

 

Any chance anyone has one of the 白零 White dolls in tan and knows which Granado color might be the closest match? for some reason I ended up getting both the 白零 White 31cm male versions (in tan), and I am considering the Gabriel head for one of them. I think "amber" seems the closest in the photos?

 

Oh no, they got you hook line and sinker! This is what’s happening to me now too… I decided to grab a little Magic Mirror May from the mp and now I have at least 2 other mature tinies on my “bring home immediately” list… and I already have 2 at home! They are building an army and it’s only a matter of time before they demand a house. I would love to see progress on the different props and furniture you build

 

The Dolly Gods have kicked it into overdrive on me over the last couple of days. While not tinies, they've dropped 2 unusual dolls in front of me (because unusual/weird is my jam), thrown one of two female dolls I'd consider owning at me and tossed a sculpt I've always wanted in my current preferred size (50-ish cm boys) at me. I'm very appreciative but I can't afford all of them at once and 3 of them are 2nd hand finds so first come, first served *sigh*.

 

They REALLY do that to you! Especially the 1/6s... I have a couple of room setups for mine, too. It's just so fun! They're so small! So easy to store! And this is how I ended up with 13ish of them... Whoops.

 

I have my three boys (two from Myou and one from Asleep Eidolon) and I too keep looking at other dolls in same size wanting to add them to my collection exactly because "they're so small, few more won't matter" having a house/roombox for them would be a dream but for now mine have to settle for having two chair shaped jewelry boxes to sit on.

If Myou happened to release Delia and/or Zuzana in this size I'd pounce on them immediately but I kind of think they're done with the size, there hasn't been a new one since November 2020 and I don't think they're very liked since I often see them up for second hand sales at Instagram, I mean good for me since I can buy them if I happen to have the money like I did with my Alan, but kind of sad to know the dolls you like aren't that loved by others.

I suppose unless AEDoll comes up with more cute tinies I can't resist I'm probably going to order Xagadoll Hanami at some point. She's just really adorable to me and feels like she'd look good with the rest. There's also one(?) AEDoll Cordelia available in stock at legend doll that I keep staring at but it has the exact same expression as my boy-Cordelia so I'm telling myself I can't have her too because of that. And yes, I linked her in hopes that somebody will buy her so I can stop being tempted

 

I feel like mature tinies have a relatively small (heh) but devoted fan base. I hope they get more popular as more people see them and realize just how charming they are It is a bummer that Myou doesn't seem to be interested in making more of theirs. They are the only ones I have so far, and I think I'm going to finish slowly getting the ones I want from them (which may be all of them...) before trying out some of the other lines.

 

Yeah, I have rather fallen for 1/6 scale. Hope it gets more popular. I need to git gud and sculpting bodies and add to it myself. xD

I got my whitedoll 29cm body and I am enjoying him. my buff whitedoll body is still in transit.

 

I think it's definitely getting more popular—in the last 7-8 years since I got my first (and ESPECIALLY in the last... what, 5ish since Granado got into the tiny mans game?) the options have EXPLODED relatively speaking. There was a time when I could confidently say I probably owned at least one representative from every currently in production mature tiny BJD line on the market, and I can't at all anymore! Which I am super happy about because it's my favorite scale—although it's really expanded my collection, so my wallet is maybe less pleased.

I'm surprised MYou didn't take to it, but now that you say it, you're right—they haven't put a new one out in ages. They seem pretty popular to me, but maybe they aren't really in the home market/I'm just seeing the right corners. I guess not every company is going to end up like Granado, who is a man possessed. (Haha!)
