Miracledoll Discussion Thread

Anyone have a Miracle Doll / Universe Doll hybrid (normal skin) or know if Miracle doll resin is a match for Luts real skin normal? Thank you!

 

I've been trying to find a photo anywhere of Miracledoll's grey skin resin color that isn't one of their promotional pictures. I'd love to see how the color actually looks unedited, and in a more natural lighting than spotlights - does anyone own a grey skin doll that wouldn't mind taking a picture of it? I'm really hoping that it's more purplish in it's color that some of their photos make it look like, but I'm worried that it might be too desaturated for me..

 

I ended up finding a picture on Instagram of a non-company photo of they grey resin and it seems very desaturated, almost completely pure grey. Which is cool, and I think I might get that for their little moth creature! But it doesn't fit with the idea I had for the 60 cm body, so I guess I'll just end up getting that in normal skin.

ALSO - did anyone see miracledolls own Instagram post of a 3d render of Jing from back in July that says something in the lines of 'see you in September'??? I am completely dying at the premise of them maybe rereleasing Jing!! I will absolutely have to get a Jing head, no question about it! I guess there's not many days left of September, I hope I'll see him up for sale somewhere on a dealers site. ❤️

 

@DeadlyNyappyRomance I haven't seen any owner pics of the grey resin :0 I didn't notice they had it as an option until recently. And YES! With the new photos out, new Jing is going to be so awesome! I love romantic/half closed eye dolls~

I may as well post an older snapshot of my Jing since it's been a while:

 

omg i hate to ask but where IS the miracledoll instagram? x_x I searched around a bit and couldn't find it
also god I love jing xD ive been so inspired by the various jings ive seen, especially yours @crappyshappyshaw !

 

@mincy Here's their Instagram page! The undescores probably threw off your I know their sculptor also has a separate page, but I can't recall the handle.

(人´∀｀) And you know him? Thank you! I don't post pictures of him nearly enough, but he has been sitting waiting for a refreshed faceup for...some months now... Where do you post? I see you have Vics v.1 and 2!

 

I've bought a Miracledoll Chihuo last year, an I'm so happy I finally painted his faceup! I'm very sad he was discontinued, like Baiye (Young Baiye, the SD version of Baiye). I find them so handsome! I would have love to see more of them. Any owner of Chihuo or Baiye here?

Here is my Chihuo's faceup:

 

Does anyone know if MD's normal resin is a close match to Volks normal/ps fair?

 

@crappyshappyshaw your Jing is so pretty, I love the soft colors @Follow-the-Wind your Chihuo is just the coolest

The new 68cm body looks fantastic - I love the curvy legs I hope there will be a 60cm range soon - I'd get it for my floating heads.

 

@krystina Yes! I saw the body last night on MD's taobao page. I don't really care for how the back leans/curves so far backwards the way it does, but so far it's the closest body aesthetically to what I've been looking for my LLT Edria head.

 

Haha I was thinking the same- back looks kind of painful to me. I’m hoping it won’t be as noticeable with loose clothing. I wish we can see how far the upper piece torso can bend forward. I want to see if it can slouch

 

@crappyshappyshaw Ooooh your Jing is Beautiful!!!! What a gorgeous faceup and a lovely wig! I'm in love with that face

And yes the romantic eyes Jing is perfect! I'll be buying him for SURE. I love the differences in sculpting they've made - he's very balanced and soft and I'm really digging the new nose.
I'm also a little more than tempted to get the 68 cm body too, it's so so elegant!

 

@Follow-the-Wind Your Chihuo is so cool! Amazing texturing on him. I wish I had gotten Young Baiye before he was discontinued, I really loved his face and the mini horn lol

@krystina @DeadlyNyappyRomance Thank you ♥ Seeing Jing with a gentle look and colors makes me so happy.

The changes on these older sculpt versions is so cool to see! New nose on Jing makes him look so mature~

MD makes such fun sculpts, I lament sometimes that they don't have separate mouth parts, just because I find it so difficult when cleaning out my Vics and Jing's mouths

As for the bodies, seems that it is a trend for the new bodies to be very curvaceous in their default positions lol. Even the body for Baiye v.2 is quite cheeky with that arch in his back!

 

I did it!!!! I caved in last night, and I bought a Jing - both with body and head!! Aaaaa. I couldn't fall asleep after because I was so full of adrenaline. He's going to be so difficult to wait for lol!

@crappyshappyshaw oh haha, I can definitely see how it must be difficult to clean! It's probably more challenging to cast a doll head with separate teeth parts, I assume! When I have to clean out difficult parts I usually use wooden toothpicks that I soak in acetone for a while so they become a little softer. It's the best method I've found so far. Hopefully the faceup I give Jing will last a while, so I don't have to go through the hassle hah.

 

@krystina Thank you very much! Currently he miss wig and hands. I need to buy fibers for his wig and working on his manicure!

@crappyshappyshaw Thank you very much! I hope you will find a Young Baiye someday. But they seldomly show on the marketplace.

 

They totally did! :P thanks for the link.
theres a good reason you haven't seen me around, my dolls are still bare. but here is a picture of one with neat eyes in.

Spoiler

Id love to have more to show, but thats what ive got (´,,•ω•,,｀)

 

I recently acquired a Sugarable Genie head that has sculpted teeth and he needed his face-up wiped immediately. Cleaning between his lips took the longest time and there's still some trace paint that I just couldn't get gone (a new face-up should cover that). I used a wooden toothpick with a tiny bit of a cotton ball wrapped tightly around the point and soaked in Windsor & Newton to dig at the stubborn paint in the creases. I'd also dripped a tiny bit of W&N directly onto the mouth and let it sit for a minute to help loosen the paint before going at it with the mini cotton swab I made.

I also removed full-body black acrylic spray-paint from my Impl Miguel the Demon Hunter using the same toothpick cotton swab method in all the grooves, swirls and crevasses he has (and he has a LOT). I couldn't get all of the paint out of the grooves, nor did I expect I would, but the toothpick swab was pretty effective. The remaining paint bits are covered by the gold, silver and copper metal leafing I did on him.

 

Congrats @DeadlyNyappyRomance I can’t wait to see the photo spam

 

@DeadlyNyappyRomance Whoop whoop! On the Jing train~ Looking forward to pics of that body! As for the teeth parts, I don't know if it's because of how my Jing is finished, but his mouth was way harder to clean compared to Vic, despite it having more surface area :/ Not sure why that is

@Follow-the-Wind Maybe I've just missed the ideal window, but I honestly don't think I've ever seen a Young Baiye secondhand... o(-(

@mincy Welcome! Really cool eyes in him for sure, and I get you completely, when I got my v.1 Vic he lay bare for an embarrassingly long time... It was only until after I painted my v.2 Vic that he finally got painted up (・・；)

@Iron_Dog You said it, the toothpick+cotton method is the go-to for those tiny nooks and crannies. I try to just use the high percentage alcohol for wiping faceups, but since the pandemic and that being harder to get ahold of, W&N is forever the GOAT.

 

@crappyshappyshaw I've seen only two Young Baiye on the marketplace in 5 years : the one I bought back in 2016, and the one a friend bought this year. That's not a lot!
