A bit of Chinese new year celebration. Can't be more pleased with 1/6 size, so comfortable to take out
I own a Dream Valley Lucia, so I took a quick comparison photo. Left-Right Xagadoll Ken, Dream Valley Lucia, Granado V-11. DV Lucia With Xagadoll and Granado
A few weeks ago I got pointed to SpaceStudio, a site which represents a lot of small BJD creators (most of whom I'd never head of before). After trawling around I quickly became enamored of the 1/6-scale dolls by Element Doll. The Pitt dolls are realistically bodied dolls with oversized heads, similar to Minifees, but the one I ended up ordering was one of the Gorit Brothers in resin. They managed to get me one of the bald headcaps, too, so I can put a wig on him if I want to! There seems to be a real trend in one corner of the BJD world for cartoony dolls, and the Gorit twins are definitely that; they're on an action-figure scale, too, so they're of a size with the old Lumedoll Lights. The Pitt dolls seem more on-topic for DoA, though.
Oh I'm so curious to see him once he comes in! I haunt SpaceStudio and I really love Element Doll. Male dolls just aren't my jam, but I adore how the Gorit Brothers look!
The gorit dolls are really cool. I just can't figure out how I would fit them in my crew of mature tinies with thumbnail size heads. lol
I got my Gorit Bro! He arrived with a broken ankle, sadly, but I got in touch with SpaceStudio and they sent me a new leg piece right away, as well as a free pair of the molded shoes from the set, so now he's fine! Definitely not a small-head bro, though. A few notes to go with my quick late-night phone photo: - He's 100% sized for 12-inch action-figure clothes. I have a very few pieces and they all fit him perfectly. His feet are even slightly small compared to the rest of him to make sure they can be jammed into action-figure shoes. (The molded shoes are hilariously oversized, in comparison.) - His bald headcap means that he takes a 4/5 wig. It's also a really good fit. - He has a neat little mechanism inside his head that holds his eyes in place. I do tend to knock them out of place a lot, but in theory I can make him look around easily! - He came in a cool little metal box with a handle and latches as well as a cut-out foam piece to keep him safely inside. Anyway, I'm fascinated by him and SpaceStudio was really good about getting him to me. Now I need to see about paint and more clothes!
He looks so cool! Gorit is so tempting to get but he doesn't match the rest of my crew because I have the tiniest tiny headed mature tinies unless elementdoll releases more dolls stylized like this in the future. then my wallet might be doomed xD
Oh he's so cool!! He's not quite my jam for owning, so I'm so happy to see one here. Please do feel free to post a lot of pictures of him, he's really cool! I love that he's sized to fit action figure clothes, he seems really after that niche of like, "action figures" that are really just fashion dolls for streetwear/really hiphop-style looks. I love it!
I finished my first ever wig! Does anyone have tips for doing the part line? The strategy from the tutorial I was following didn’t really work for me, so I ended up winging it a bit. It turned out cute overall, but the part is all over the place haha
It looks great anyway! I use the method I learned from Whispering Grass: cut a slit, feed your part wefts through each side and secure, and add another piece of tulle inside to reseal the cap. Here's a link to her showing how in an Instagram video! Hope it helps.
I received my Bee8, human head with the pink wig just last week after paying a STUNNING amount of tariffs and taxes on him (never had to do this before in the US so, yay thanks politicians!). I ordered him last year for a specific project but thanks to my 71 year old brain I had forgotten my plan for him by the time he arrived so will most likely just sell him. He is cute and posable but I have no idea what to do with him.
Yes, I paid a tarif on him also. I did agree with Stacy's to mark down the value. I have not paid tariffs with anyother arrivals.
Ahh, I'm jealous (although not of the tariffs, yikes bikes, thanks politics!!) of your Bee8 arrivals!! I'd love to see pictures... I wanted him really bad but I didn't have the money to swing it when the order came up.
I recently received my Bee8 as well! I ordered both heads and the full assortment of hair colors. He's just darling, though after handling primarily big dolls recently, I forgot how small and lightweight the small dolls are by comparison. I ordered him directly from the creator and didn't have to pay any tariffs on him.
There he is!! The little guy!! Gosh he is so cute, congratulations. I forgot until this moment there was an elf version, and UGH those ears... I look forward to seeing what you do with him, please do share!
