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. Thank you for the heads up!!
       
    2. I wrote them this, my personal suggestion. Seems like someone else also linked this model's gallery to them :D

      "Please search pictures or videos of gorgeous fitness model Andreia Brazier, her body is very beautiful and ladylike and definitely not manly even though she has rough muscles. You'll love her beautiful smiling face as well, so why not to use her for making a head for HID female.

      The height could be 67-70cm but please make sure that old EID heads don't look too small in scale if you make 70cm body as it needs slightly bigger proportions/taller legs and taller torso part.

      And some of my personal opinions.
      -not too heavy leg muscles, it's easier to make fitting clothes when the legs aren't gigantic even though they need some detailing as well.
      -slightly thicker neck goes better with muscles, so please pay attention to it so it's not too skinny but it should fit old heads too.
      -Would be wonderful to get small bust size among M and L bust because not all fitness girls have big boobs. I'd personally choose very small bust for my girl.
      -if you want to add visible veins, please make them softly so they don't catch too much attention
      -when making a head, do not make too young looking and innocent girl, some dolls like Scarlet, Rebecca, Zera and Raffine have better and mature faces for example. Please avoid too round and cute face, she could have stronger jawline but not like a man, just softer and elegant.
      -Please make some hand parts she can hit things, like you made for Bichun karate/boxing hands"

    3. I took the liberty of pointing them towards Claudia Black as Aeryn Sun (back in the good old Farscape days).

      Although I may have doomed myself there. If they do make a doll based on Aeryn, there's no way I'd get out of buying her. :sweat

    4. *LOLOL* Claudia Black was BA on farscape! I do adore her! And she was nicely toned, I'd go for that!

      Adalwolf, Andreia was the content of the album link I posted. That is allll Andreia pics. Impldoll asked me for a model for their muscular Idol and I made that for them. Pretty sure no two companies would make her identically (and not sure if Impl IS going ahead on it or not) but it was available as something to look at (and she gorgeous!!) so maybe... just maybe....
       
    5. I am wondering what sizes people are wanting their athletic/superhero/strong women to be? Personally I'd really enjoy an average old school 60 cm height, but I can imagine that people would want their women to be able to compete with all the 65/70cm beefcake guys.

    6. I don't even want muscular male dolls, let alone muscular female dolls :sweat

      This is the type of doll I love to see but would not love to own. I would love to see female dolls like Xena the warrior princess but more than that is a no (I just don't like the physical culturist look on both genders).

      Btw, Adalwolf's girls rock my socks!! they're amazing <3
       
    7. Oh wow, indeed! Aaah what a gallery~~*drool* :D Well, it's great that now Iple knows that she could be a perfect body inspiration. (and I'm not the only one praising her look there haha!). I didn't even know that Impldoll is also inspired to make muscle girls? :o That's fantastic if they do. I have one idol body at home and getting another, but those stronger girl doll body types must get more attention in the future ( I hope..) but I feel very hopeful and positive about Iple's incoming HID-W. I'd be very sad if people who prefer lean/non muscular look just defend that women are not meant to be strong or physically bigger and Iple decide to leave the body just EID-like and very "let's play safe" common girl body look blargh so boring =_= they can buy SID and EID bodies like before.. let's just not ruin it from ppl who want something _different_ even once, more choices are always better and there'd be something for everyone.

      I'd personally need her to be 67-70cm, the best for me is 68-69cm so she'd be slightly taller than my 65cm girls (It's just so annoying that they're like copies height-wise, that's not realistic imo.. I have tried to put them different shoes to make even few cms differences!). And 65cm looks so short next to 75cm guy too, it's realistic but not all women are short and tiny anyway.. xD

      It's lovely that you still would like to see them or just support the idea! I personally don't like skinny boys such as Dollshe's old male sculpts and their bodies but I'd never speak rudely about them for people who love them. Variety!

      And thanks a lot, that was very kind of you ^___^ I appreciate <3

    8. @arienh, I would personally love the companies to offer longer/shorter legs so YOU can choose a 60cm girl or a 68cm girl, kind of like how Miro Doll has leg lengths for their boys and 3 different heights. Long legs on a girl look great, so that is my hope.

      @Adalwolf, agreed!! Don't give us more of the same... mix it up a bit! I want a She-hulk! I want a powerful woman! Absolutely!
       
    9. @chalyss since this thread is older than Iplehouse's new HID-W plan, should we somehow invite all the interested people to vote that muscular choice on Iple's site? like by tagging so they'd notice and act? or just hope that they have noticed lol :D
       
    10. Oh good idea! *LOL* Whatever will help us get what we want, dang it! If you know how to tag and stuff, please do! Thanks for the thought! :thumbup
       
    11. @chalyss Okay, here's a quick HEADS UP!- list of people who answered 1. 2. or 3. (or between them, but still a way like "yes please")

      Therefore shortly: You are invited to make this happen! as Iplehouse is designing their HID female body, there's finally a possibility to get a muscular female doll which would be sculpted carefully (you know, it's Iple..) and with a height like 65-70cm. Please visit here, log in/make an account and write them your thoughts OR write your thoughts about muscular Iple girl here on doa and we'll link this thread to Iplehouse. They have already mentioned "bigger or muscular" on a poll #2 so there _is_ a possibility and they need to know are people interested to buy one and which kind. Never hurt to beg? ;)

    12. I would really want one that is 58-60cm like most other SD girls.
      Big dolls are often too heavy for their elastic and end up annoyingly floppy because of it.

      And working out doesn't make you taller so being average height with the rest of my crew would actually be best/ make more sense.
       
    13. OOh, nice! Thank you, @Adalwolf!!

      @sahoma, good point! floppy is not so great! My crew is mostly 65cm and above these days, so in line with that would be a taller gal for me. But I don't do all one size, so variety is key in my group. Still, yes, I see what you mean!
       
    14. You know... as soon as I read the title I was like, "NOPE!"

      Then I really thought about it... I would. I can't remember her name, but there is a GIF on Tumblr of this beautiful blonde European girl lifting & I remember the remarks in the comments saying that she looks like a goddess & she did. Ugh. Her body was so bold & beautiful.

    15. My girls or boys aren't too floppy or too heavy for elastics/posing... they're well strung with enough big elastics + sueding and I don't have a single 60cm doll but at meet ups I haven't felt they'd magically pose better, it's the jointing, engineering etc, not the size alone :'D

    16. Yes, increasing elastic size really helps with the bigger dolls provided their string holes can accommodate. I've had to restring some I strung with too thick elastic. Hot glue sueding definitely helps. If the doll owner can't do these things, then weight may be a problem. Engineering helps LOADS!

      @Missie L, see? You need a goddess! ;)
       
    17. I think I might! Especially if Iplehouse makes her.

    18. I'd be all over a muscular female omg! The need is real!

    19. I think having a superhero female character is awesome! I just don't have much of a desire for having a muscular female doll myself.
