1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Muscular female dolls- who wants one?

Jul 27, 2015

    1. Would you buy a muscular female doll body?

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

      Hello there!
      I'm joining the thread kind of late lol.

      I'm planning on purchasing a Miracle Doll "Zhi Shen" b0dy for my character (she'll will be a hybrid). I've been doing some serious research on which b0dy would fit a Pygmalion "Libra" h3ad and thought maybe Miracle Doll would be beautiful, but I'm kind of in the dark regarding the resin match, like, should I order her on normal pink or tan to match Pyg's WS resin? lol.
      If someone could enlighten me, I'd be profoundly thankful.

      I saw all the amazing, strong and fierce BJD women you have shared here and I was even more inspired to build my character as a muscular girl.
      Interestingly, I wasn't much of a "female BJDs" collector, the majority of my dolls are men or genderless, but since I started to write professionally I felt the urge of shelling my female chars hence bringing more diversity to my collection.

      Thank you so much in advance, any tip will be highly appreciated.
      :)

    2. Do you know of any other colours that match with pygmalion doll’s WS—I wouldn’t usually expect WS and tan to be a match, even though I’ve heard miracledoll’s light tan shade is barely different from their NS. I don’t own miracledoll NS, but I could compare their white to any other shades I have, if you can find some other colours that it’s known to match. I’ll also have their NS in 6 months, when I get my 76cm body in!

      also, don’t worry about having to censor words when you write things here—head and body are very common words that get used a lot, and there’s no algorithm on this forum at all, so there’s no risk of your post disappearing because you said body. In other threads, I’ve talked about magnet penises and nothing untoward happened!

    3. Dear Chameleon, thank you so much for your input and congratulations for the new doll coming!!

      So, I have a Granado zen body in NS and it matches nicely with Pyg's WS (though I had to work the faceup). I was doing my researches regarding Miracledoll and saw a few doll collectors in YouTube who own. One of them owns a NS and the other a tan. The light in both videos gave me the impression of MD's NS to be very light whereas their tan seemed more of a NS imho, therefore my confusion lol.
      Both my Pygmalions are in WS, but their resin looks like a NS with an expressive rosy undertone.


      ps. Sorry for the late reply I was traveling.

      pss. Thank you for the heads up. I've been so aware of these "censored" words I feel like treading in thin ice whenever I interact online :lol:.

    4. Some resources that you might find helpful for this:

      -Granado resin matches thread
      -here someone compares Miracledoll to Resinsoul NS which might be a more common comparison than Miracledoll NS
      -pygmalion hybrids thread
      -pygmalion WS + DFA
      -Pygmalion comparisons (on page 21)

      I’m not sure if any of these have better resources than you’ve found on YouTube, but I won’t be able to do my own comparisons to NS for probably 6 more months, and I don’t own Granado or Pygmalion doll NS. I do own Resinsoul NS, but it’s dyed dark purple, so I can’t do comparisons with it.

    5. Chameleon, thank you so, so, SO much! this was absolutely helpful!
      Thank you so much for your time, effort and kindness. Now I have a very robust material to my researches.


      :D

    6. Ahh she's beautiful!!! I'm hoping to get this body ordered sometime this week! ^^ How do you like the body?

    7. @Inari I really like it! The posing is good, though I'd like to get kips for her shoulders since the only hold up-down poses and not outward ones. Her legs only bend so far due to being muscular, but I don't mind. Its heavy from the extra bulk of muscle definition and being a bit taller. I want to make her some sleeveless dresses to show off those arms!

    8. Thanks so much for the reply! Sleeveless shirts are a must with this body! ^^ Even more excited now to get this body in! Love your girl! Hope to see more photos :)

    9. Devotion Doll enthusiasts, 6anli has posted pictures of the head they've made to go with the 75cm Vigorous body! She's called Siva and she's absolutely gorgeous.
      I'm still on the fence about breaking into a new size category, but I'm enchanted. She looks so cool. I love her narrow eyes, her pointed chin, and her strong nose bridge.

    10. Ohhhh she’s beautiful. Not instantly sparking a character for me (thankfully—I have so many layaways going right now, I need a break!) but I can’t wait to see how she looks with other faceups, and styled in other ways!

    12. Siva is amazing, thanks for the link! I was not familiar with Devotion Doll.

      I finally got a head on my Doll Family-H muscular girl (wow, those bodies are strung tight). The body is crying out for leather armor, so I might do that next.

    13. Ohhhh that body would look spectacular with leather armour. Are you planning on using real leather, or doing foam/apoxie/something else

    14. Real leather, it's actually easier to work with than synthetics. :sweat

    15. That’s really cool!! I bet it lasts a lot better too, if you take care of it. I just inherited a pair of leather boots that are virtually pristine, and they’re older than I am. It ages well!!!
       
    16. Agreed, you don't get the plasticizer problems, peeling etc.
       
    17. Man, I hate that peeling thing! Only takes a few years, too. Real leather lasts forever though I know it's not so popular these days. I can't wait to see your armor!
