Mature 1/6 Dolls - part 3

I would think not, considering they're closer to 12". 16" is more like MSD size!

 

@Idoru Thanks for answering! Now I know what dolls to picture in those clothes if I still want them haha!

 

I haven't found a bjd yet that can wear Tonner clohes

 

My Dollmore 16" fashion resins (male and female) can wear Tonner clothes, although pants are high-water, and long sleeves can be a little short, but -- they make do.

 

@beamlette That's good to know! I may have to take another look at them!

 

I really like some of the outfits but if I don't have the right dolls, then Tonner clothes might not be an option. (I keep eyeing an Arwen tonner dress on ebay but if that is MSD size...but my MSDs might be too big for it.)

 

Hey everyone! I was excited to see there is an active catch all thread for this size of doll. I think that's awesome. Anyway I've popped in because I'm waiting on two second hand mature 1/6. I've not had a bjd this scale in ten years. I wonder what that old lumedoll guy is up to. (I wish we had the chin scratching thinking emoji haha)
Anyway... I don't know if I will regret this or not. But as a lover of the old stuff I kind of couldn't resist when I found the two 1/6 Aoi tukihime together for such a deal. It was probably my little treat of the year though I have mixed feelings about working with this size. But it looks like you all have a lot of fun and it's very inspiring! I saw so many great pictures of all your dolls and their clothes and some with nice furniture and everything!

 

Welcome!!! I hope you post your two new tinies when they arrive I’ve really been enjoying this space for all things tiny and this size overall.. it’s not overwhelming to make them furniture and diorama spaces and it feels like there could be useful props around every corner… ex. I’m currently going through letter opener swords for my incoming Granado Gabriel (I just placed my order for him today!) do you have any plans for you incoming aoi tukihimes?

 

Aw thank you @ArouraAnn letter opener swords are so cool. I have two from my early days that are bigger, for 1/4 really. I hope you find a cool one!
Edit: and I love admiring the Granados! I wouldn't order one because apparently boobs are the only thing to siren song me back to mature tinies but I follow some people photographing the Granado guys.

Realistically I don't have a plan. I was feeling sad and got lost in the wonder of looking at them I think it will depend on what I can pull off for them to wear. Probably the most likely thing is to make them faeries in the kind of style you see at renfaire and then they could hang out with my 1/3 dolls too.
Sometimes I have really liked Sewing for this size -ish. A few years ago I was making a lot for some vintage Barbies I found thrifting. Any time I see a small doll it's this daydream that they could easily be with me all the time and we go for more adventures. Not likely a dream to be realized in my life but it's worth something to have the daydreams.
I'm going to hate myself immediately trying to sew... They have the L bust (not XXL at least) but I already know how it will be
Maybe if anyone here loves to sew this size I can pick up some tricks to make really cute things more easily.

 

@AlisonVonderland Granado has a new 30Lady body that might interest you. It is currently available wit Bayou!

 

Thanks for the recommendation @nancy_schroeder_ca but this is probably my purchase of the year and I'm ok with it. I'm out of the acquisition phase of the hobby, and with something new coming in I already have to kick myself to keep destashing.
But a change of pace here and there to cheer myself up can help

 

Oh man!! I love the Aoi Tukihimes--PLEASE post pics when you get them!! I used to one one of the 1/3 girls so bad but never did get one...

 

@AlisonVonderland Oh my! I really need to destash also!

 

Aw good luck @nancy_schroeder_ca it's so tiresome I'm lucky and and at least not battling my collection against temptation for more much at all these days so it's going slowly but surely in the right direction. I wish you strength for your destashing!

@Idoru yay you remember them! Did the big ones ever have such a large chest option? The girls I am expecting are the L bust which is huge (and there is XXL which, you can imagine)
Lol im so excited to show them! Maybe with a spoiler... I feel like before they arrive I can make them a little futon floor bed set to snuggle up in when they are home! And I'm doodling outfits I think I could pull off at their scale.
My first bjd adjacent purchase ever was a 1/6 large bust Obitsu so this is very nostalgic.

 

She didn't come with AS big a bust as the Reihime and Takehime bodies do, but she did have a bigger bust! That sculptor is actually still around, so you can see them on their website: オリジナルドール碧い月 ＊original doll aoituki＊ トップ

 

@Idoru I spent my whole afternoon pouring over the website yesterday but mostly in the gallery of all the 1/6 ones ... blows me away. It was falling into the soft dreamworld of all those photos that made me convince myself I should just buy the lot I saw because I'm insane if I don't
The big girls had a slightly different vibe add I just didn't figure out if any of them were top heavy. I know a lot of people beheaded the 1/3 versions over the years to use for hybrids. But I really like the artists face style too. They are very gentle and welcoming characters!
Ok I will stop talking everyone to death though, I appreciate having an outlet to share my excitement today

 

So just for follow up/ posterity: I clearly did not understand that the Aoi takehime little dolls are not strung, are not on topic (and so I won't be back about it) but I wanted to let anyone else know... So that now it is known if it wasn't
At least in this 12th year in the hobby I guess I have finally learned the feeling of the maximum disappointment a person could feel.
The structure is that they are resin and ball jointed and simply fit together, which is so precarious that they arrived with many body parts separated. The hands are the biggest problem and I feel certain I could end up losing them if I do most anything I wanted to do with her. So
Anyway you all have been lovely! Take care

 

I got both my whitedoll tinies now (more photos on my flickr)

Whitedoll 31cm v1 box opening by Kaxen6, on Flickr

I'm rather smitten with them.

The buffbody fits action figure clothes better, but his neck is thinner and legs are longer. The twink body is so svelte that he needs female action figure shoes to not look like he's got disproportionate feet.

I thought nicer action figures were realistic but then it's like.... wow their heads are huge. xD

Also I don't what it is that my Batchix Clever little has been the bane of my existence for years while these guys are just a smidge bigger and it's like yes I love you.

I'm pretty sure I will get a Granado Mature tiny whenever I decide which head is The One™

 

They look so good!! Man I love that buff boy more than I thought I would... I wish I'd gotten one, now! Both of them, really... I hope they do a re-release.

 

I was surprised to see the older version of the skinny whitedoll boy listed as open for sale again on dollyplanet, so it doesn't seem like whitedoll is one of those companies that is 100% opposed to re-releasing things.

if the older version didn't have closed eyes I probably would be more tempted grab one (2023 has too many dolls that are total bangers. my wallet has been in danger all year lol)
