Mature-looking Mini discussion

Have you ever try to look at Soul-Vito line at souldoll? They are MSD size about 50 cm. and both body and face look mature. I think they will perfectly match with Fafner.

Sorry for my bad english grammar. It's not my native language too.

 

I have a latidoll Rucas and he's definitely more mature than other MSDs.

 

I think almost all the Resinsoul/Bobobie dolls look pretty mature.

 

I have a BBB An, and I think he's the most adult looking of my guys. He has the look of a romantic poet!

 

I didn't know if this was meant for size specific or general as size specific looked more like just a company discussion....

I've seen plenty of "cute" more childlike male MSD's but I'm personally into manly MSD boys (faces and bodies) what are some companies/ sculpts that would be considered more mature as apposed to childlike?

Do you like these more masculine sculpts for your boys or do you prefer more kid-like?

 

Fairyland's Chicline dolls are VERY manly and are proportioned like 70cm boys but in a MSD package. I have a couple myself, but I also have a few more childlike MSD's...I love them both

 

I love masculine boy BJD and I love them in MSD size but I would prefer that they are taller than MSD girl like Withdoll's sculpt and Fairyland's Minifee whereby they are just right for MSD girls n___< Childlike is fine just that I prefer masculine body especially for photoshoots, they look better n___n

 

I prefer masculine MSD faces ans bodies more than juvenile ones, for the characters I like to put into dolls. AoD bodies seem rather fine too.
But I haven't seen any face I find clearly male and adult in MSD size...

 

A little bigger than typical MSD's, I guess they are a new category of mini's,
50cm boys: Souldoll Vito line and Soom's ID51.
I've been away for a bit so there could be others

 

I liked more manly sculpts when I first started, and still look for the most manly sculpts for my boys. However, my asthetic had to change to fit the bjd style. My eye no longer tries to see them as humans, LOL. I see them as other beings, mostly. My only exceptions are my Fairyland Chicline dolls. They look human.

My favorite sculpts still include dollmore kids because I adore their faces, but they're still grown up in my crew, except my daughter's boy doll who is a tall teenager of about 12-14

The other boy sculpts I like are:
Lati Blue boys
Iplehouse boys
Withdoll boys
and limwa mano

I want a fairyland minifee boy or two but I am worried at how short they'll be next to my girls and other boys. I guess I'm just going to have to live with it

 

The manly MSD is a rarity indeed. As is so often in this hobby, bodies don't match faces- we have little girls with giant boobs, little boys with muscly bodies...so it's hard to find an MSD boy face that can look as mature as some of the girls. Fairyland has very manly body options, but the heads are still a little baby cheeked. I've been in this hobby for about a year, and I still haven't found the perfect manly bjd. My personal preference (and the most manly MSD I've found that's not one of the 50cm or the Chiclines because Chiclines don't proportion well with MSD girls) is Fairyland's Karsh and Lishe- Lishe boys can look amazingly mature, as can Karshs. I'm hoping others will have more specific sculpt recommendations too.

Edit: Iple boys can look very mature, but at the same time they look more realistic than say Fairyland, and somehow still manage to look sort of little kiddish to me at times.

 

Bumping to find a mascuine MSD or MNF sized doll! Have been looking everywhere!

 

I think AoD's mini bodies are pretty mature, though more slender than muscular.

 

Lumedoll's got a 30 cm guy who's a lot more manly looking http://www.lumedoll.com/koit.htm

I actually took one of my machina guy heads and made a custom to make Snake-eyes:





someone mentioned the Limho boy. I shaved mine's cheeks and lips down so they weren't so puffy and he looks pretty manly. He's still not as masculine as Saint.

I wanted a more manly regular head too, so I worked on a head for the MNF that was more in line with what i wanted, but i never did finish him. He's in a big basket on my desk that's for projects I need to complete... along with a head for Tali from Mass Effect.

Then i think Dollmore's got a 16 inch boy that's OT for DOA but he might be what you're looking for. I'm not crazy about the sculpting of the body... but that's a personal hang up. XD

 

The Lume dolls, while stunning, are really way too much smaller than any MSD girl to work.

Fortunately, there are many more options to choose from than in 2006, when this thread started. Withdoll, which is a much newer company, makes a round of boys that work very well with most mature MSD girls. They have stylized faces, but not all of them are super boyish and/or androgynous like some MSD boys can come off as.

LatiDoll's boys both might work, too, but they are very tall and lanky guys, and Lati's waiting times are incredibly long.

I think, though, the most masculine you can get that can scale well to a mature mini girl are Souldoll's Vito boys. They are very broad, chiseled, man-dolls, but they dwarf the average MSD girl with being 50CM tall, and certain childish faces may look odd next to them.

 

Since 2006, they've also released the active body for MNF, which is pretty 'Six pack at the gym, oh yeah, baby.' And MNF resin matches a bunch of other resin, so if their *heads* are all too girly, hybriding is go!

 

Souldoll 52 cm Vitos & Idealian 51 will work with some MSDs.

The ID51 line has tiny heads, though, 6-6.5 wig size. A fluffy wig on him & a sleek wig on the MSD with a common larger head will help the disproportion hide.

I expect to receive my SD Vito Lester today or tomorrow from DDE, so I can take a comparison picture, if you'd like.

 

I don't think a Vito would work well with a mini girl, actually. He looks more like a short SD due to his massive head, while an Idealian51 seems more like a tall MSD. Short SD with a mini girl would be kind of creepy. Here's a nice comparison of size between a Vito and MNF girl, and another one with Iplehouse minis and Soulkids. In human scale, he looks like he's almost two feel taller than those girls. It's like a fully grown adult chilling with pre-teens.

 

hobbywhelmed, I got the "visible" jointing because I liked better how it looked. Ironic, right?
