Miracledoll Discussion Thread

Ahhhh, my order has been placed! I didn't see a waiting room, so I'll just have to scream about it here.

I'm sure it's been asked, but I searched and skimmed and didn't find it: Is there an estimated wait time for Miracledoll? Clover-singing.com says 2 months, but that appears to be a relatively standard message they put on all the dolls.

Anyone want to share what their wait time was, if they remember?

 

My mini Baiye head took almost exactly two months.

 

I've had a similar experience to Kimchi. It's usually about a 2 month wait with Clover Singing for Miracle Dolls.

 

@Kimchi @BlitheFool -- Perfect, thank you guys!!!! The awesome people of this thread never fail to come through, haha

 

Hi everyone, I need your help …
I was wondering if anyone had Long head? I’m trying to figure out what eyes size would be more suitable for him. It is said on MD site that he need 16 mm, but my Lestat wears 10mm eyes, Chihuo – 10 or 16/5mm eyes, so I have some doubts about it…
I'm thinking of getting 14mm Enchanted Doll eyes with the narrow iris (6,2) and low dome, what do you think of it?

 

@No_comment, I think 14mm with small irises are a safe bet. Long's eyes look pretty small. If you don't want to spend a lot of money to try, you could always buy cheap glass eyes to try first.

 

So I bit the bullet and bought the Vic version 2 head. I had wanted the original but he's impossible to find. But yay for close enough! XD

 

Congratulations! !! What a good head! any plans for him?

 

@Xila The head is for my old OC, Kojikomaro/Edward Lecter (a girl despite her name). She's a demon wolf and crazy scientst who's a bit of a Mary Sue story-wise, but she means a lot to me hahaa. So she'll have ears and a tail, and I'll be doing some sort of hybrid body with possibly Soom Chrom or Wolf legs for her as well. :3

 

I bought Vic ver 2 too I am a bit sad about his nose shape changing so much. Ver 1 was a masterpiece. But, the eyes seem improved

 

Vic 2.0 is super cute! I like the new eye size/shape. Congrats to everyone who's snagging one. And here's Vic 1.0 since I don't post him very much.

 

Does anyone have an Allen or Ruiying?

 

Hello everyone!!
I'm really new to bjds and I just bought the Jing head!! I'm super excited for it but a quick question to anyone that owns it! Are those little points on the brow ridge tiny horns? If so, that would be really cool!!
I'm painting a mock run for him right now and it would look much cooler than i initially thought if that's the case o:

I've never owned bjds before and my orders haven't even arrived tbh so I hope im not asking dumb questions ahhhh

 

Waiting on my Ruiying.... Any time between this month and next month. (Cmon, LegendDoll.....) When he arrives I'll post pictures.

 

Yay, another Jing! I'm also waiting on one.

I think the points can be whatever you'd like them to be, honestly- I have seen them painted to resemble horn nubs!

Personally, I was considering modding them to look like actual horns, or buying small horns and setting up some sort of magnet system! At least at first, anyway. My direction for him has changed a bit since then.

In terms of what they literally are: I think they're just smooth bumps. I don't have mine either, though, so I'm not positive!

 

@Xila
That's really rad!! we can be Jing buddies *v* Did you also purchase through jeeryama though? o: Because I'm kind of wondering about if there's insurance on the shipping and if they let you know when it ships lmao

Also can i ask you how you're gonna plan on doing the mod?? I hope it's not too much!! I also wanna do a mod on mine but I'm not sure how to get started ;u; I wanna make the lil horns show through and do elf ears like this! I hope it's not too ambitious for an amateur for me haha I've never even held a doll before in real life let alone know how to do the faceup and wigs and mods o)-<


i hope it's ok to post a quick mockup gif I did?? I'm planning on making LED eyes that change colors based on how you move the doll/head o:

 

Woow @BoneLace your mockup is really cool! I'm also waiting for the Jing head I ordered to come home
And to say, modding is not that scary if you know what you want to do. You can also lurk in the workshop section to see how people do their mods.
For my part, I ordered trough clover-singing and the head should ship with ems.

 

@Acyd
Thank you! That's super helpful omg
Do you have any plans for your Jing Head o: There's been so many neat ideas here for this sculpt and I feel like I'm going the super plain cop out route with mine haha. Instead of aiming for realistic, I wanted to aim for like an inhuman robotic feel because it's also clean and (hopefully) easy haha

 

@BoneLace I so adore your mockup!!! Not at all too ambitious, I think-- your mods should be totally feasible with some milliput or other sculpting clay That hint of red in the eyeliner is a really nice touch, and I love what you did with the eye-split-line-things!

I did purchase through clover-singing (which is Jeeryama's personal site), but I've never done so before, so I dunno! We'll see Christina says my order should be ready this month!

I've done a few mockups, but nothing I'm super fond of. Just about everything in my mind for him is up in the air-- I'm even confused about the eyes I've already bought for him, lol. The only thing I know is that I want his face pretty natural-- so, no fantasy faceup for me.

What body are you going to use for your Jing? I'm having a body struggle, which I've elaborated on in a much-longer-than-necessary fashion, lol:

The only other thing I know about my Jing is that his body is going to have a 4-arm mod As for how I'm gonna do it... no idea! I've never modded before, either, and I'm also relatively new to this hobby! I'm going to rely on looking through previous project threads, and dumb luck, I think...

...Aaaand yup, that's up-in-the-air, too.
The body I have for him (an April Story Senior Boy) is a nice body (I bought it for those hands and feet, and its ability to draw its knees so close to the chest!) but... it stands like a newborn baby, unfortunately, and standing ability is important to me.

I'm away at college, without the doll, so I was hoping I'd be able to suede and fiddle with the doll (later!) to improve its standing ability. Recently, however, April Story announced they're discontinuing their senior doll line.
So, I'm like... great. Even if I do decide to keep this body for him, getting a second torso and arms is probably going to be a pain in the butt.
Speaking of that-- I just shot April Story an email to see about that. I think my ability to get the parts I need will determine whether or not this body is staying.
I'll hop over to the April Story thread to see if my standing issue is an April Story Thing or a My Doll Thing...

Anyway, I'm also looking at other bodies. I want the head to look relatively proportional to the body, though, so finding a body that has a good shoulder width, a tall height, AND the poseability I want has proven tricky. (Also: it needs a large chest piece that will fit another pair of arms, cannot be too muscular, and needs nice hands and feet-- though if I can find replacements, i'm ok with it...)
The april story (66 cm tall without head, 15.7cm shoulder width) seemed to have all them, but if it's gonna be a boob, then I don't need it

I've recently found myself liking the newest Doll Chateau adult body (72 cm with head, 16cm shoulder)
It's like a more realistic version of the A-body-04/03, which I love, but wasn't sure if it would work (Shoulder width of 14cm, and possibly too lithe for such a big head-- still, I know there are Jings out there on this body! Wish I could find some right now.)

...I'm only concerned that the torso piece would be too small (and is too... muscularly-defined?) to look ok with (and be structurally sound with) a second pair of arms. Especially since the torso piece dips upwards in the back...

It's too new to have any owner pics or reviews, so now I'm just waiting.

Sorry for the huge textwall! Thanks for listening to my body struggle, lol. And I'll tag @Acyd too, because I love the Jing talk

 

@BoneLace I plan to make her (yes, it's a she) like a magical spirit: something soft-looking but with bold colors, maybe golden lips? I'm not sure until I have the head in my hands.

@Xila Aaah the body problem... I had that one until very recently (and still have it a little). There's a body I love but there's no way that it could fit the head correctly without looking funny to me. But I found the 5SD 70cm girl body and I was like "that one is the ONE"(even if it's single-jointed) But then I found it hard to find 65+cm female bodies....I still have to save for her body and until then her realm's guard (my other doll) will take care of her
For the second set of arms, maybe trying the second hand market will help and the project journal section has several four arms mod projects presented. I will try to prop my Jing head on my other doll's body for size reference when the head comes home.
