Mori 9 Dolls

I think I may have to try for Lyra... I've been trying to avoid the big 75 guys, but I guess it's time to give in
He may end up being a floating head for a while... I don't like most of the 75 bodies out there. I'd love a slender 75 body, but that seems unlikely to happen anytime soon

 

He is beautiful but I will have to settle for pictures

 

That's a really good point. I'm just traumatized by my desperate search for Austaras I guess if I miss out on Lyra I could casually keep an eye out for a secondhand one, ehehe... and I feel like white skin is less popular so maybe that will improve my chances. Time to start dreaming up a character for this guy... oh nooo!

 

I love that body, too! Maybe I should message DF-H and beg XD

 

Haha I feel that. I've been wanting to get a Veles but the ones I have seen are the price of a whole 75cm doll just for the head lol.

Hayato prices have been reasonable though. So hopefully it trends, I have a few ideas for Lyra so I might see if I can get one in WS and one in NS since if you win the lottery you can order 2.

 

Good luck to everyone who's going to try for Lyra. I'll be sitting this one out. I don't think I can handle another 72+ cm boy in the house. They already multiplied and won't even fit in my doll cabinet so they're chilling in the walk-in closet at the moment

 

That’s a mood I empathize with. I miiiight still try for a Lyra though depending on when his preorder period happens. His features are so sharp

 

I want him so badly...but I'm scared to get my hopes up...

 

I'm just wondering, I've recently been seeing these Mori9 folls on Instagram, but where do you buy one? I love the sculpts and I can see one of my characters I could shell one with! They look so amazing!
Also do they sell just heads?

 

@RoyalRegals They just sell heads but they do sculpt for doll companies (Universe Doll, DFH and Dollshe) so you can get them with bodies and while I don't recommend Dollshe and DFH's sculpt was limited theres still their designs from Universe doll readily available. But their own heads they make do not come with bodies.

With a lil patience you could probably buy Hayato on the second hand markets here and on IG/Twitter but her other sculpts are pretty rare and pricy. Your best bet to find them is idlefish/xianyu but you need to have a taobao account to access and a shopping agent to buy.

ETA - Theres quite a few Hayato on idlefish right now at regular price and even an Austaras but he's like over $700 for the head alone

 

Wow they can be that expensive just for a head!? I promised I budget myself with just a head way less than that ^ ^')
You are right my best bet is to look on the secondhand market for a Hayato.
Speaking of the other companies I didn't know they also made heads for other companies too! I'm sure I've seen some and never knew.
Well I probably wont be able to get one regardless, thanks for the help! I just wonder what other companies have similar style then I really do love the facial sculpts.

 

imo part of Mori's appeal is that there is no one with a style like Mori's...

I don't think it's fair to say that you "probably won't be able to get one" - apparently the recent heads from Mori are not as scarce as the earlier ones. The less rare they are, the less they'll cost secondhand. And you can always try to order directly and the head is a normal price, with no need to go through a shopping service or anything. So don't give up just yet!

 

I do love how they are unique in all and it's why I'm so drawn to them, but I guess I just tend to look for alternatives naturally just in case.
Though I am keeping an eye out for any sculpts that I think would fit.

 

I'm starting to contemplate what body I might get for Lyra... and I only just realized today that the Luts Grand Senior Delfs are 75cm? Could those bodies be an option? The GSD neck girth is 12.3 cm, compared to Idealian's neck girth of 12.5 cm. I like that there's a less muscular option, and all of Luts' beautiful resin colors! (I accept the fact that I will probably have to airbrush/dye the Lyra head lol )

 

I like bodies from 白零|WHITE the neck is a bit bigger at 13cm though but def not as slim as the GSDF slim body. I don't see many slim 75cm like that, usually its 72cm but their neck size is usually 11-11.5cm so a bit small.

Also found out more news about the 2ddoll x Mori 9 collab. The head is called Ciel! They have a doll event they are selling at in China but will eventually sell online. He will even come in limited colors like tan, chocolate and purple! I really want to see chocolate and purple! But he will be on their buff af body, not sure if they will sell him on a slimmer one.
