Muscular female dolls- who wants one?

Jul 27, 2015

    1. Can't wait to see her completed!

    2. 2. Yes, I have future plans for a girl like that.

      Especially Miracle Doll’s new 1/4 body, I love it so much! And the price is not that bad either

    3. Me me me me me! Devotion Doll's 75cm body dropped a few days after I reentered the hobby. They're releasing a full doll with head sometime in April and I can't wait to see what she looks like. I don't collect super big dolls, though, so I'm swinging between possibly picking up this one or making a hybrid with a smaller 1/3 muscular body and I head I like, which I've never done before.

      Also on my possibilities list is getting a boy head for a muscular girl body; I'd love to have a muscular girl with a stronger jaw and nose. But then I get into the struggle of making sure necks fit and proportions are right, and that's a lot of learning I'd have to do. Worth it in the end, though, I'm sure...

      Either way this thread is going to be SO useful for finding muscular girl body options, I'm so glad to have found it!

    4. Yesssss I’m doing that with the Devotion Doll body! And also probably the Miracledoll 76 body. If you’re looking for a smaller body, the nobilitydoll body is not well-designed from a jointing standpoint, but I think it’s ~60 cm. And if you put it in tight pants, the butt dislocates less often than in regular pants. The next shortest I think is the Impldoll bodies (old star is ~65, new slim muscle model is like 63). It’s interesting that they make all the big buff ladies also super tall!

    5. The Nobilitydoll body has more boobidge than I'm looking for, and after reading Rosslyn's posts about all the modding they had to do on their initial model I think I'm gonna keep waiting and pining (unless I get Real good at modding Real fast loool). But the abs!!! Praise to the ABS. The Impl is I think my next best option, I just wish her arms and legs had some more muscle! Devotion Doll's just nails my artistic tastes so unbelievably well.

      I totally understand the impulse to make them huge, as a certified Huge Woman Enjoyer; if someone modeled a body off of Ilona Maher's I would break my computer hitting the purchase button. Proportionally, though, I'd love to be able to have photos of her interacting with my 60cm boy and my 40cm girl, and I think the 75 would make them look like homunculi hahahaaa

    6. Yesssss the abs are divine on that body. I’m not even trying to mod her, she’s just eye candy (and the mc of a novel I’m working on)

      Devotion Doll is beautiful. I almost bought two of them, because I like them that much. I’m also a certified huge woman enjoyer (I’m 5’3 and my girlfriend is 6’ so I come by it honestly!).

      if you wanted comparison photos, I have a 75cm boy I could photograph with an angel philia hybrid (~48 cm) and a 60cm girl (all my boys are bigger, or smaller) to give you an idea of scale. If he’s got a bigger head, he might look young but proportionate. If he’s smaller headed and realistic, he’d probably look pretty funky with her—like you’ve said!

    7. I DEFINITELY want one of those Devotional Doll gals! HALES, yeah! If you poke around my flickr album (link in profile) you'll see a number of male heads on muscular female bodies. Maybe I'll grab a couple for funsies. I like the stronger-featured ladies, too. It's sad I have to go to men's heads to get that. Also a lot of height and size comparisons to see there. I say go wild! Hybrids are fun!

    8. When I get the MiracleDoll 76 and the Devotion Doll in, I’m going to do a pic of all of the muscle ladies I have—including my ladies that are on modded “male” bodies, as a contrast.

    9. Perfect! There are finally enough muscle ladies on the market to do a decent line up! I look forward to seeing it!

    10. When I started off I've found myself planning hybrids a lot. I really loved that there were more fit female bodies and I loved MD's Zhi Sheng and the DF-H 68cm body was great too. But I've noticed that with boy heads (unless they're designed to be androgynous or very young and soft) there isn't just a more angular jaw, but other very typical male landmarks like a much stronger brow and a more prominent corner of the jaw as well which are very very masculine traits. You don't see these in a front view, but when I'd see my picks in profile they looked very obviously male, so the result would've been much less like an androgynous/masculine girl and more like man-head-pasted-on-woman-body. I never felt convinced. As you mentioned another struggle is the necks which often end up gapping by like 2-3cm. So I think for the best results one needs to get ready to mod things a bit.

    11. Both the pronounced brow and the heavier jaw corner are traits that women close to me have—it’s just that only some of those women are cisgender. If you want to make the head look more like a conventionally attractive cisgender woman, it’s possible to sand down brows and jaw corners to be less pronounced, but for me, that would defeat the purpose of using those masc heads in the first place. I want those stronger features on the women I’m shelling, and I don’t think those features can’t look good on women, especially paired with a femme body.

      My perspective could be based on the fact that I have very feminine features, and I dress feminine, but I’m not a woman, and I wish I had more masc features so that I looked less cisgender while presenting feminine, so a bit of how these dolls look is wish-fulfillment.

    12. Honestly, it all depends on how you want the hybrid female to look. None of the boy-heads-on-female-bodies I posted above needed modding. The muscular body's neck is often 10cm, which many boy heads still match. It used to be, before all the big boys, that boy dolls tended to have 10cm necks and girl dolls tended to have 8cm necks, SD size, of course. That's changed with the bigger dolls becoming more popular but as girl bodies are also getting bigger, the necks are too. 1cm difference either way won't need modding. Even 2cm you may be able to get away with but you can also just fill a head hole with low temp glue for an extremely simple and removable fix. Technically modding but no adding or subtracting resin. Not all women have smooth, small brows. Not all men have heavy ones. So you have to shop around and know what you're trying to achieve.

    13. ALL of this, time a thousand; I think those are features that look stunning on a woman, and they're also ones I'd love to have myself. Wish fulfillment, artistic sensibilities, and just seeing features I think are beautiful are all things I'd love to explore in this hobby, and I'm so thrilled to come back from a doll hiatus to find a lot more options than when I left! <3
      OH ALSO - edit to say that I'd love some comparison shots with your dolls!! I'll dm you!

      I can't wait to dig in to your Flickr!! Also, from the where-to-buy thread and this one, it seems like I should absolutely be giving you credit with organizing to show companies there's a demand for these ladies. Thank you for the work you've put in to change our hobby for the better!

    14. Yesssssss welcome back from your hiatus, I’m so glad more options came up that you can explore now that you’re back!! I’ll check my messages once I’m home tonight, and set up a bunch of comparisons for you—anything that’s not labelled incoming on my profile would theoretically be available for comparison!!

    15. Oh wow... thank you! I deeply appreciate that! And I'm happy to have helped raise their awareness to get us these beautiful, muscular women! It's been a long time in coming! I think I started this thread back in 2015- so yeah, we've been waiting! Enjoy the flickr, hope there's something that helps in there or inspires. Feel free to DM me with questions. And welcome back to the hobby! I'm glad there's more to whet your whistle these days!

    16. Out of curiosity, is the nobility doll body still available? I've tried looking around for more information on it without much luck, but have seen it mentioned in a few places.

    17. No, except on the 2nd hand market. I few years back Nobility Doll did try to get another run cast (I was on the list), but they didn't get enough orders and dropped the idea.

    20. @EmilyG i finally got around to doing a comparison!!

      [​IMG]Height comparison!! by Indifferent Red, on Flickr

      Left (pink hair) is a 58 cm Youpladolls Lilith (Cole), middle is a 75cm Dollshe Rey/DFA 75cm hybrid (based on Paradise Lost Satan), and right is a ~48 cm dollzone Elena/Angel Philia type H body (Toni).

      IMO, both of the shorter dolls look pretty short compared to the 75. Toni especially does not look like an adult with the height difference, the same way I (age 26) don’t look like an adult beside my cousin, who is 6’5 (I’m 5’3). She is an adult character-wise, as a vampire who was sired at 21, in the 1540’s, (just in case anyone was worried about her character’s age based on her outfit!)

      Cole, at closer to 60 cm looks a little more in scale with him, in that they could pass for a really short lady, and a really tall guy. I think the DevotionDoll girl would look tall, but not impossibly tall with the other characters.
