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-looking Mini discussion

Apr 20, 2006

    1. Doc female New Body 2's measurements:
      http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1689894&postcount=2

      Their torso is 18.5-13-19.5

      So if the measurements from DOC are correct, DOC girl New Body 2 is .5cm bigger in the bust and hips than Unoa large bust. Also .2-.5 larger in the waist than Unoa and MNF but .2 smaller than Narae. So she could probably wear stretch clothing for Unoa but not anything that is non-stretch and very tight.

      Here is a thread asking the same thing - someone says she can wear the clothing but not the shoes (Unoa/Narae/MNF wear slimmer 5.5 shoes, DOC wears wider ones like MSD size)

    2. Unoa for sure~~~
      her body figure is perfect!!!!
       
    3. I have to say that of all my dolls (elfdoll, souldoll, volks, dollzone, and angel of dream) the angel of dream dolls pose the best. They are fabulous. I didn't need to restring mine- they posed great right out of the box. I have no idea what the heck AoD does, whether they use superior string, or just how the dolls are engineered, or what. But they are just great.
      Someone here posted some photos of their AoD Chen posing balance ON ONE LEG. That's pretty impressive. The doll I have the most trouble posing is my Volks Mika. She would not even stand until I sanded and sueded her ankle joints.
      I really think AoD dolls are completely underrated- maybe because they aren't as expensive people don't think they will be as good. But when I compare them to my more expensive dolls (elfdoll and souldoll and volks) they are every bit as nice and their quality is excellent.
       
    4. I actually have a Yewon I just purchased, and she's on the new double body, so I think you can request any head on it now (but they don't have a double body for boys, as far as I know).

      I think she poses really well, but she's strung really tightly at the present time - and it's a little tricky to get her to sit straight up. I'm really happy with her overall, though. :aheartbea :aheartbea :aheartbea
       
    5. Eliz-Rivenstar, did you decide which doll to get? I'd love to see pictures when you get her.

      I received my Apple last Friday and she is the best doll. She posed perfectly right out of the box. I love this new double jointed body. I don't think there is a pose she can't hold on her own. Not to sway you in any way:) I just wanted to follow up my previous post.
       
    6. I think I'm going to buy a DOC mature girl body, the head is TBD as of yet. I really like the souldoll double jointed body too -Linn to be persice. I may just get both someday if I can raise the money.
      Thanks for thinking of me gracie!
       
    7. Does this mean my DZ isn't very good at posing? *stares at him* xD
       
    8. naaa, I'm sure he is a cutie! Its' just not what I'm looking for....
      ;)
       
    9. The only minis I've handled are Dollzone and Mythdoll; although the Dollzones are great posers, hands-down Mythdoll girls can do practically anything, so I'd consider them to be the best posing mature mini. :XD: I think they do better with wiring and maybe sueding/restringing, but right out of the box they can be plopped into standing, one-leggeds, you name it.
       
    10. Are Mythdoll still in business or is it secondary market only? I have someone heading for Hong Kong next month and I'm preparing a shopping list but don't want them going on a wild goose chase.
       
    11. secondary market only, they closed with orders still in the works I think...but I'm not sure. All I know is they are closed.
       
    12. Sounds like a great plan! I'd love to see pictures when you get evrything together :)
       
    13. I want a mature looking doll but dont want one that I cant easily carry around with me if the urge struck. Thats why I prefer the MSD size. So, does anyone know of any good mature bodied dolls out there?
       
    14. These are all approximately 16-17" (43-44cm)tall From Left to right: Supia Yisol, tanning; Limwha Limho, pinky-white french resin; Narin Narae, pinky-white French resin, open-eye; Unoa Sist, normal skin[​IMG]

      Close-ups:
      Limho and Narin Dragonfly in pinky-white[​IMG]

      There are also 2 boy versions in Unoa, plus several other doll companies like Latiblue and Orientdoll Tae. Not to mention the beautiful upcoming Noctarena Circus from Iplehouse and, of course, Luts MiniFee. I'm sure there are lots more that I've forgotten.
       
    15. Most of the currently produced minis are mature these days.

      Off the top of my head...

      Minis that are NOT mature

      Volks MSD
      Angel Region
      Kid Delf
      Dollmore
      Leekedoll Mabel
      Dollstown
      Cherishdoll
      Elfdoll minis? - not sure

      Minis that can be bought as immature or mature

      Bluefairy
      Unoa
      Bobobie
      Dream of Doll DOC

      All other female minis are mature only.

    16. Fairyland MNFs are very mature (especially the girls), and DZ Minis are also mature (teenage-ish, anyway).
       
    17. Volks SDC also fits into this category.
       
    18. I was going to say Dollzone too and Soul-kids are actually also pretty mature - at least teenagers like perhaps 15 - 16 years old. Bobobie also have some mature minis. They are actually comming out with a new one soon - Ariel. You can see her here

      I think she's very pretty.
