Mori 9 Dolls

I see! Thanks for the information

 

The collab with studio Naiko looks really nice!

 

I immediately ordered a Tawny Octans, anyone else order Octans? (Don't let me buy anymore dolls this year btw lol)

 

I have been very tempted to buy Octans, but I think I have to skip this time for financial reasons. He's very lovely, though! Very excited to see him in everyone's photos.

I still have trouble finding my Lyra a good body. I was wondering whether this 75 cm Ao Ling Shi body would be suitable for him? Considering the size I think it would be alright, but I'm still quite new to buying heads and bodies separately.

 

Ordered Octans in NS. Hope it will match Soom's NS

 

I ordered a NS Octans head, but I have to admit it punched me right in the pocketbook.

 

Hi! I'm very new to Mori9 and non-Korean brands of BJDs after getting back into the hobby late last year-- Is anyone here familiar with Lost Myth Doll bodies or resin matching to Mori9 heads?

I'm thinking of ordering Octans and getting a Lost Myth Doll body for him:

lutsdoll co.,ltd.

I saw The Voice bodies are quite buff and have 13.5cm necks, but it seems Lost Myth Doll bodies are slightly taller at 78 cm but neck girth is 13 cm (supposedly).

If anyone has any comparisons or familiarity, I'd appreciate it! ^^

 

The size from Luts might match but resin tone will be completely different. I also ordered Octans in NS. Its best to try and find resin that will match soom NS because octan's color is closest to that.

 

Do you think 13 cm neck will be fitting for Lyra head?

 

Lyra is fairly small compared to Mori9's previous heads. I personally think it looks better with a 12-12.5cm neck.

 

I'd agree with @Constance, probably a bit too thick. I tried mine on my Loongsoul 73cm boy's body (10.3cm according to AC) and liked the fit and mobility, but the body was a bit too muscular for what I wanted

 

Good news for all Lyra havers who are still in need of a body. Mori has an upcoming 75cm body collab with Universe Doll (whose white was one of the closer matches to the white Lyra was cast in)!

Mori 9's Doll on Instagram: "75cm body cooperate with Universe Doll #bjd #bjdsculpting"

It looks like USdoll also offers color matching on their Taobao, so fingers crossed that the rest of the body looks as good as this preview and that USdoll will offer color matching for it.

 

@Astro Thanks for the news. My Lyra's in NS but I hope the USdoll body would be good for him as I don't want him to be super muscular (hard for the 75cm range of bodies)

 

@castironteapot USdoll offers color matching, so in the very worst case, we can send our headcaps in and they will cast to match it. I bought both a WS and NS Lyra, and I would prefer to keep the NS one but have held on to my WS head just in case it wound up being easier to match.

Here's to hoping the rest of the body looks as good as that torso preview!

 

Yeah, I saw that! The bod looks beautiful, but I’m hoping the price will be a little less steep than the Studio Naiko body.

Alas, it’s the curse of liking the bigger boys!!

 

I took in a Hayato with a LUTS 75 body, and while the skin tone matches, the body is simply too muscular to me that is porportions seem off. I may have to sell the body. I wonder if their Slender version would be much better?

This is a Hayato on Grand Luts 75. Ignore the faceup color. I think the actual resin matches well.

Spoiler

 

Thank you for your opinions! I asked Mori previously about this Ao Ling Shi body and they said that the 13 cm would be better option than 12 cm. Ahh, buying heads and bodies separately stresses me out...

 

Well I've completed the order collection -- I got both Chara and Caroli in the most recent lottery yaaaaaaaay! I also ordered Octans earlier as well, so I have the full set. Now -- I gotta find bodies I like for them...all of them lol as well as my Lyra.

 

Congratulations!
I'm joining you in the hunt! I ordered Octans, too and just got mail that I could get Caroli!!
Has anyone tried Mori9's normal skin with Dollits DAD normal skin? (Suddenly that's what comes to my mind that I have at home).

 

Congrats to everyone so far! I also got in for the Caroli head. I like the Studio Naiko body but the neck just looks so large. Unfortunately I don't know what resin would match to start looking at other options. I'm not much of a fan of a lot of the 75cm bodies, they look so jacked and I prefer a softer just toned look

in the end I may end up with that body and seeing if I can find someone to mod the neck to slim it down without losing the details.
