Merry Doll Round - Part II

Thanks for the heads-up about the Chocolate skin. Personally, I haven't been checking Instagram much, so I didn't see that. Looking at it now, it sounds like Cookie may not be offered again in the future. I was trying to avoid buying dolls on layaway, but I'd hate to lose out on this colour...

 

I'm glad you have a chance to at least think about it before the preorder closes! The only reason why I haven't purchased a Fang myself is that I'm holding out for the smaller 1/4 dolls Nuria has been working on (I've been looking for the right 1/4 doll for my collection for years, and it's been an expensive year for me in terms of medical bills so I can't afford both of them).

But yes, this might be the last chance for Fang in this color (or at all), so it's definitely something to think about!

 

The 1/4s are exciting! I hope you're able to get one when they do release. I may have to buy just the Fang head for now and hope for another release of the body in Cookie or that another suitable body will come along.

On that note, does anyone know a good match for Cookie? Luts Light Tan looks pretty close to me but I'm not sure how much I trust my monitor lol.

 

I want Fang soooo badly, but the pre-order is just not at a good time for me to splurge on her. She's coming out juuuust before my paycheck XP

 

Not grabbing a Fang, but I did scoop a second hand chocolate milk Zuri, who is going to be absolutely delicious in my collection!! Looking forward to unwrapping her once she gets in!

 

I had to settle for just a Fang head in cookie resin from the last preorder, so I’m also looking for a good match for it (if anyone has a good hybrid body recommendation for the new, smaller Fang head I’d also appreciate it).

 

OK, so I have a conundrum matching up a Merry head. I bought a lovely older MDR body for her, but it's a Dollshe casted early one (according to MDR on Instagram, who has been lovely and helpful!), so the resin match is way off.


Does anyone have any advice about what might match my Merry head? I've looked at the options MDR suggested but I really don't like the bodies, so was wondering about something like Dollstown Oriental or Copper Oriental, as the tone is quite peachy..?

Thanks

 

@Alice80 - Did MDR suggest the Maskcatdoll bodies? I have my Olathe on their 57cm body. Personally, I'd prefer something a little smaller for her, but I think Merry is a larger head and also you might have different preferences.

The Maskcatdoll body is gorgeous - poses very well and has beautifully detailed hands and feet (and the collar bones are lovely). I purchased a pair of feet in their tan color (just to have as a reference) and it is pretty close to Dollshe's/Dollstown's old Copper Oriental (before it got pinker). I can take a photo for you if you'd like to see it!

And speaking of Olathe, here's a photo of her. I dressed her to cover the neck and body since she's on one of my Maskcat bodies (the NS one). The hands are Bimong's 1/3 size jointed hands in "New Tan" - they don't match exactly, but it's close enough for me. The typewriter is an American Girl doll accessory and the dress is from Psycholab (or Melody-C - one of those!).

I'm so excited, I have a Fang head in strawberry on the way to me! I've wanted a Fang for so long and it was finally the right time and place! Anyone have suggestions for bodies to hybrid with her?

 

Congratulations @Captainnessbot! Fang is such a beautiful sculpt. What kind of height do you have in mind for your Fang? As I mentioned above, I'd like to put my Olathe on a slightly shorter body, but it's a bit hard to find nice bodies shorter than 57-60cm that are not just tall 1/4 size dolls.

 

I only have one SD, an Impldoll Star, so I don't have a good idea of size for SD dolls. I'm mainly concerned right now about what would be a good fit color and neck-wise, and I can narrow down my options from there.

 

Does anyone know of somwhere that shows Merrydollround resin colours compared with other companies?

I'm particularly interested in seeing close(ish) matches for Cookie.

Thanks

Hello all! I have just acquired a Berry in Strawberry skin and a Tsubaki in Strawberry skin and I would love to know if anyone has hybridized this skin color successfully? I was thinking I might try the Supia 60cm body since it was a pinky normal, but other ideas would be awesome!

I also have quite a few dolls at home that I can try out for people if there is an interest, just check out the list on my profile page and let me know

 

I have a fairly old Strawberry Zuri—I could compare her to old supia normal, which I think is what they’re calling Beige now. If you see any other resin colours on my profile you’d like a comparison with, please feel free to let me know, and I’ll put it in the picture!

 

Oh wow, thank you!! I would love to see her with the Feeple60, Supia 60, and Zaoll Luv bodies if possible.

 

If anyone can point me at close(ish) matches for Cookie, I'd love to know about them.

My cookie Berry head hasn't arrived yet, but she'll need a body at some point and I've never seen the colour in person so have no idea whether it's close to any other company's colour (DollsTown copper oriental, perhaps...?...)

longshot, but is there anyone out there who owns both original fang And the newer fang? I know the MDR site has a comparison of the heads on the new body but I'm really curious if anyone has both dolls to compare

 

It's been a while since you posted this so maybe you've found something by now, but I did see a post on Instagram (I can't pull it up right now) that showed a Fang head in Cookie on a Maskcat body in Tan, and it looked quite good. I'm gravitating towards that for my Fang, personally.

 

Thanks! I'm still shopping around for options, so the more options the better.

I do like the Muskcat 57cm body as it has the small bust and lack of curves I'm looking for.
