1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Mature 1/6 Dolls - part 3

Mar 3, 2020

    1. I purchased a new-to-me 30cm boy this weekend. He's OT for DoA as he's 3D printed but I'm more than likely going to need to find him a partner in the not-so-distant-future. Do we have a list somewhere for mature dudes? Am I correct in thinking that currently only Xaga and Granado have mature 30cm(ish) always available? These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head:

      Xaga Red Obsidion
      Granado 30/31/32 Line
      Soom Faeries (limited releases, hasn't been a new/re-release in years)
      Akhmel Nathan, Tomoe (limited release)
      Youpla Vaeron (discontinued)
      Obitsu (OT for DoA)
      Lume Light (discontinued)
      Vita Magica (various sculpts, discontinued)
      Batchix Clever Littles (discontinued?)

    2. Unoa has the Quluts, there's both a boy and girl one of those (though I don't know if the currently-offered version are On Topic for DoA. I know the original versions were straight up BJDs, so they're fine, and the ones made in collaboration with Sekiguchi are Off Topic)
       
    3. I always forget about the Quluts.
       
    4. @Iron_Dog There is also Myou Doll 1/6 such as Alan, Gina, Reid, Vieruodis, Rod, and Bettina. They are very similar to the Soom Mini Gems but possibly younger looking.
       
    5. @Iron_Dog There's also 白零 WHITE, who makes a range of sizes and has a number of male 1/6 dolls available at this point. Dolly Planet is an official agent.
       
    6. Excellent! Thanks guys. I'm making a list to keep on hand since this is most likely going to be something I'll need to reference at a later date.
       
    7. Compassiondoll, which is obviously not available, can be added to the list... There's some more that are OT for DoA I can think of (Daisy makes a few but they're OT because they're not resin). Shinedoll makes bodies but no heads. Peachdaydreams (OT, 3D printed)... I'm sure there are others I'm not remembering right now...

      Also, for the record: nope, the new Unoa Lights (Aki and Hal) are not on-topic for DoA. They have resin faceplates with interchangeable eyes, etc but they go on the Sekiguchi ABS bodies. Super cute though (I have one!).
       
    8. 3D printed or cast doesn't matter to me, lol. The incoming boy will be my 2nd 3D printed doll. And I have an Obitsu boy as well because of course I do. Thank you for the additional companies @Idoru They're going on my compilation list for later.
       
    9. Island Doll Song Yu is another option but is off topic due to painted eyes
       
    10. There were also the Souldoll Littles, now very discontinued, with one boy option in the list. And, yeah, the very first Unoa Lights (Azurite and Fluorite) were on-topic here, with their funky engineering and resin bodies; there are newer plastic Azurites and Fluorites, by Sekiguchi, which are off-topic but definitely cute dolls. Aki and Hal are Alchemic Labo plastic dolls.

      Also in that size range (but equally off-topic) are the new-ish Petworks Boys, Eight and Nine. That's the same company that makes Momoko dolls.

    11. Question for my fellow mature tiny collectors: Do the Ruby Red In-Motion shoes fit our Myou/Soom Mini Gem feet? Or are they too small?
       
    12. Ruby Red lists the feet as 3.9 by 1.8 cm.

      Myou Reid's feet are 3.5 by 1.3 cm
      Myou Ver feet are 3.4 by 1.2
      Soom Minigem girl feet are 2.5 by 1.0 cm
      Som Minigem boy feet are 3.3 by 1.3 cm

      It's more likely that they will be too large.

    13. @nancy_schroeder_ca ah...well phooie then. My Azur shall remain barefoot then. Oh did you take photos of your Rime yet?
       
    14. He should be able to fit normal 1/6 shoes! I've put my Rick in Ken shoes before, even (Ken shoes are slightly small vs action figure 1/6). The only thing that's given me trouble is super narrow toe boxes, but I've only tried like one particularly stiff plastic pair for that anyway.
       
    15. @Idoru And the hard plastic shoes don't scratch the resin? That's my main concern with Ken shoes.
       
    16. No, not in my experience. They've got a bit of flex, even more so if you warm them up first (I usually use hot water). I've never forced any that are super stiff, so the use of common sense helps here, but no scratches so far. My doll isn't blushed, though, so I don't know about any blushing.

    17. I never have anything useful to add to the ongoing conversation. I do own Ken shoes, but I don't unbox my mass-produced fashion dolls, nor their accessories (I hoard, but in my defense, it all started as a young child! Lol!). I have yet to slice my doubles of the Real Little's sneakers, to check if that'll make them work on the male MYou mature tinies, as that's the only "mature" tiny I own (Probably not?).

      I did however, recently modified my MYou Bettina to have smaller eyes. I originally wanted Alan, because he reminded me of their mini-sized Carr, and I always loved his face sculpt. However, I wanted fuller lips and smaller eyes. From their promo photos, it appeared as though Bettina had smaller eyes, not as small as Alan's, but not as huge as they were IRL (personal preference, a me problem, not the sculpt's fault). Long story longer, I wanted to modify my Bettina's eys smaller since I got him, but I keep putting it off, because I don't want to spend money on a clay I won't use and will just go to waste. Now, I've found an inexpensive product, that's available in a tiny bottle and not meant for modifications that require sculpting, but kind of worked for me well enough.

      TL;DR: I got my smaller eyed Bettina, that I always wanted! The mods still need a lot of polishing, but I'll be practicing on other dolls before I decide to rework on this guy's eye mods! (:

      The photo shows default unmodified Bettina, with 1st crappy face up I gave him, then second face up making his eyes look ridiculously large for no reason (no mods, just my suckiness at repainting tiny heads!), and the version with the newer tinier modified eyes! It was only a few millimeters I added, but I feel like they make a world of difference. The eyes he's wearing in the 1st photo are Bettina's default, that have irises twice as big as the ones he's wearing in the second and last photo. Which are Alan's default eyes.

    18. I put Cian (Myou Alan) aside for a while and brought him back to a new look. I like it better than the blond hair he had earlier.

    19. @Enzyme Your mods look fantastic! There's something about the expression now that is giving attitude in the best sense!

      @SteamWitch That is a fantastic look. Love the wig colour!

    20. werepuppy, thank you so much! I feel my dolls all have a ton of attitude to spare, because I keep giving them angry eyebrows (my personal preference!). This tiny dude however, already oozed attitude before I even painted him! lol (probably just all in my mind, because I wanted him to be my Ken Kaneki, so badly!)

      SteamWitch, your Cian (Alan) looks great in that new wig! Red hair really suits him, and his warm tone! (:
