Mature-looking Mini discussion

The Angel of Dream boys have quite mature bodies compared to a lot of the others. You can see an example here: http://aoddoll.net/ProDetail.asp?id=180

Even if you don't like any of the head sculpts, you could always put another type of head on an AoD body.

 

also if you`re looking for more mature MSD`s Iplehouse and DIM are both bigger MSD`s.....

 

Look at Unoa, look at Mini Fee at Fairyland (some of their faces are more mature than others), Dollmore's Judith doll is mature.

There are lots of options besides those, but I could remember them.

 

solitary agent: I love this body, thanks so much for the suggestion!
Thanks for the help guys ^.^

 

The link above for an AoD boy doll is actually to a SD sized boy. I just bought him but the MSD boy should be there somewhere. I'll go take a look.

 

Here's the link to the MSD sized boy, i.e., about 43 cm: http://www.aoddoll.net/ProDetail.asp?id=133

 

Oooops. They look so similar I didn't notice!

 

Apologies for the slight hijack, but can anyone recommend MSD-sized heads with mature faces? I've got a body all picked out (Minifee active line) but their head style doesn't appeal to me. I'm looking for something more like the Iplehouse EID faces (Asa, Jessica, etc.) or the Dollmore larger dolls - really realistic, like they could be a real person.

I'm just not finding a whole lot in that range that will look proportional on a MNF body that doesn't look like the face of a 12 year old. I'm fine with modding the neck/head a little to get it to fit, or blushing to match - I just can't find a company with sculpts that make me squeal.

I'm looking for a female doll but I don't have a problem using a male sculpt that's not super all super brow ridges.

 

DIM Odelia is a mature mini. here's mine:

While they still have fairly large eyes, I think DOC's Too and Bee-A are much more mature than DOD's other DOC dolls. They look like they could be high school students, while some of the others, Like Leya and Pitts, look like they just started preschool!

I don't understand why MSD's always have to be "children," and if that's the case, why every company still gives all the girls breasts! There is something seriously strange about that!

 

kayjay,

My apologies for not responding to this earlier! I didn't realize I had to subscribe to threads in order to be notified of replies. I have not looked at the dolls you mention, but I will definitely check them out. I am especially intrigued by the pictures of HeeAh that I've seen. Thank you!

 

Have you looked at fairyland's mini fee or c-line bodies? They are pretty darn slim and very pretty.

 

Resinsoul, Bobobie's sister company makes some nice slim mature mini's as well.

 

Just be REALLY aware that with Lan (who is LOVELY) her proportions are FAR more realistic than most BJD. She has a 'tiny' head compared to most others, it's what makes her so much smaller than other dolls on that same body. Her head is actually only .5cm bigger than the 27cm dolls from BBB and RS. I just know that there have been people who love her, buy her, get her home...and are dissapointed with how 'funny' she looks next to their other dolls because of her little, realistic head.

MNF might be a good way to do, as they are a little shorter than the BBB and RS double jointed dolls. I adore mine, but haven't really measured her size or stood her next to my Mei (Resinsoul doll, on the original, smaller, single jointed body) to see how she measures up against the smaller, single jointed, RS dolls. But ANY of the Resinsoul dolls, even the ones that really measure about 42cm (like Mei), on the single jointed body look REALLY dainty compared to most other MSDs, even other mature ones, because they are SO skinny. Even compared to BBB dolls, or the double jointed RS body, the old single jointed body makes them look delicate and dainty. I know that sitting next to eachother my Mei looks daintier than my MNF, but like I said, I've never really checked who is actually the taller of the two.

And if you want to go, not just dainty, but SHORT, too, Dollmore just released...1? maybe 2? new sculpts that are mature bodied, but only stand 30cm tall.

And if you choose the 'taller' single jointed RS for your new doll, you CAN decrease the height a little bit, if you're willing to mod some. Either in sanding down a little bit at the ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows (to keep the arms proportional to the legs) or by having the doll modded to a 3 part torso from the 2 that they are by default. That gives more posing ability, when done right, and also takes out some of the height.

 

There's a good body comparison {HERE} The dolls are naked btw so NSFW.

And here is a naked fairyland c-line body (even slimmer and smaller than MNF).

 

I agree with checking out the Minifee's at Dollfairyland, but there is also the possibility of the Unoa's using the bigger bust option, and if you can locate them, the Serendipidy Sharmin/Alice?

 

*takes notes*
*bookmarks like woah!*

Ayas-Shadow, I had looked at Lan, but the smaller head, realistic as it is, finally made me decide against her. I have several vinyls, and the ones I play with the most are the ones who are "less" realistic in their head-body size. The slimmer BBB body might be the way to go, though, with a different head. As for modding, I'm not ready to go there yet; just got my feet wet in the BJD world. MNF, Mini-Fee, I"m guessing? I'd need a different head; their faces all look too immature for what I want. But I had thought about them and will definitely keep them in mind.

xanthi: Awesome! Thank you so much. That is a wonderful picture for comparison.

Absynthe: I'm not familiar with Serendipidy, but I will check them out. Unoa... those are still by lottery, right? I like what I've seen of them, but I'd like something a bit easier to get hold of at this point. Thank you, though!

I wound up getting two 1/6th dolls this week, still not quite sure how that happened, so the search for the "perfect" MSD is a bit on hold. But information gathering is always good. Thank you, all!

 

Serendipity actually went out of business a number of years ago. Their master molds were bought by Dollndoll, who continues to make Sharmin and some of their other dolls http://dollndoll.com/shop/step0.php?b_code=1131695700&c_code=C20081024061507
The Diamond girl body is becoming popular for hybridizing with Unoa faceplates (you'll need to find someone selling a headback or make your own--check the Unoa Hybrid thread.)
I've got a Unoa faceplate on a Serendipity body and she's the shortest and slimmest of my MSDs.

(For getting Unoa faceplates, you can order at any time through AL's webshop through a shopping service. I've used http://noppin.ocnk.net/product-list/10 who also handles preorders for the girls. They have kits for the boys and the Chibis available, but the girls are preorder only at certain times.)

 

I personally think Bobobies look young and often wide-eyed, but there's nothing wrong with that- they're cute.

I love mature minis! I've never had an SD, and as much as I love them, and I don't know if I could really handle them. They're so difficult to work with, in my opinion. Tinies fit right in my hand and MSD's are the perfect crook-of-the-arm doll- just grab 'em and go.

I have Narae, MNF, DoC, and soon enough, Judith girls. All are adult characters. In fact, I have trouble considering buying childlike MSD's since all mine are adults. ;P The only one of my girls whose look is sometimes not as mature as I'd like is my DoC Petsha, but that has more to do with her face than her body.

 

first of all, sorry about my english, it's not my native language.
so, im very new to this hobby, and havent even recieved my first doll yet. However this story keep popping up in my head now, so im wondering if i have to get a boy aswell. (perhaps even two....=)

Im looking for something in the mini size range. Not bigger than 50 cm, and not shorter than 43 cm, pref around 45-47, a bit taller than my girl (when she arrives, but not to tall)

Im looking for something like Narin Charisma, but in a smaller body=)
I have just seen one owner picture of him,..and i know one shouldt look at faceups when deciding.

My problem is that most of the mini sized boys i have seen so far looks kinda girly. and i dont have anything against them, its just that i prefer not to own a feminine boy myself. I do like androgynity (no idea on how to spell that) to a point, but he would still have to have some masculine factors.
I think its something about the lips that sets me off,...the Narin Charisma has the kind of lips im looking for, not so full and round as so many other boys ive seen have.

As for now i've just researched girls, and i fell for soulkid fafner- and if i get a boy i want him to match her in maturity.

so, do you know of any mature/ manly/ masculine looking mini sized boy sculps? company dosen't matter.

I dont know if i posted this in the right place, feel free to place this wherever it belongs.
