MYou 45cm - part II

Took some pics of mine real quick, hope some of these help there’s a couple more in the photostream as well

 

Thank you! These are exactly the kind of pictures I was hoping for! It seems she has quite similar nose to Zuzana where the angle really matters if you want to take pretty pictures.

 

Hi! Does anyone have Teresa in tan with the company makeup? Thanks!

 

Any shoe recommendations for the v1 girl body anyone? Just ordered the Doudou I wanted!

EDIT: Also, I see a lot of Michelle and Delias, but it looks like few people have/share 1/4 Doudou? I'm curious to see owner pics of her!

 

Wow, wow, wow! I received my dolls today and I’m in love. They are so sturdy, and feel so good in my hands! The coffee skin colors is just absolutely beautiful in person. Even blank with no face-up, they are so beautiful.

I can’t wait to sew them some clothes. I have both the small and large chest so that’ll be fun to experiment with in terms of clothes.

Q: what size eyes do you all like for your dolls?

 

I usually use the size MYOU indicates - 1/4 and the bigger 1/6 call for 14mm eyes. Personally, I use the 14mm with a 7mm iris.
Can we see pics of your babies?!

 

Eeep! Don't mind the no eyeballs.

Spoiler: no eyeballs photo

They are Chelses and Macarena on Version II New bodies - 2 part torso

 

@SuperJuliet Wow, they are gorgeous! So expressive.

 

what pretty sculpts I want to own a gigantic house just to have alll the MYOU sculpts, I love them! Even with their eyes hollowed out XD

 

Myou released a new body, this seems to be 1/4 version of the earlier 1/3 body so in other words body 2 with better top of the legs joints, there's comparison picture with this body and body 2 on their Weibo too. I think the model is a new girl too so I suppose she'll be released soon too?

Edited to add: Actually looking at the comparison picture, it seems it also has different knees and the elbow joint + it's slightly taller than body 2 so it is a different new body rather than third version of body 2.

 

I hope that doesn't mean they will discontinue the single jointed version of body 2, I assume body 1 will be discontinued though.

 

Let's hope not, v1 is my favourite MSD body by them. I ordered Doudou on that - if they discontinue it, I was just in time for it!!!

 

In a weird way it kinda reminds me of Xagadoll's / AE's bodies with the split elbows and hidden knee joints. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of that, but then again I have zero idea how that type of arm poses compared to others.

It also looks like Myou's following the wide shoulders trend I've been seeing all over the doll sphere lately. Can't say I'm a big fan of that either, ngl. The bodies do look beautiful, though. Now if only I can personally frankenstein those hip joints onto my current v2-new, then my girl would be perfect xD

I'm personally gonna pass on this one when it drops. I might wait for someone else to buy it so i know what i'm getting myself into. But also I don't think my wallet or my heart can take giving my Delia a THIRD body, and go thru the cons and not love it as much all over again;;

 

Huh good catch on the shoulders, I didn't even notice but they really are wider:
New body: 9.36
v2-2 body: 8.5
So that's almost a full cm. Her waist is slightly thinner and hips wider too, so there are more differences than I first noticed.

I actually like the slightly wider shoulders on the new body, it's not as bad as, say the Luts' kdf45 muse body with it's 10.9cm shoulders which looks just ridiculous. But a bit over 9cm is fine by me, checking the girls I currently have it seems most of them have 8.# - 9.#cm shoulders so I guess it's just something I've gotten used to. I have exactly one girl with 7cm shoulders and she looks so bobbleheaded due that to me.

 

@digi 10.9cm?? dang luts, when you go wide you go WIDE xD But that's fair. My only experience of a doll with 9cm+ shoulders is my recent gem of doll girl. I think i'm just not used to it compared to my 2 myou girls, both of whom are in the 8.5ish range. So it's definitely a new re-adjustment for me, haha.

Despite my own gripes though, I do appreciate Myou deciding to upgrade their 1/4's. It's about dang time they improved some of the engineering, especially for those hip ball joints!

 

I'm still pretty much a newbie but I hope they do not retire the older bodies yet - as flawed as they are, nothing I have/can decently sew will get past those hips XD

 

Oh I really love the new body! I’ve been hoping to see more BJDs with the hidden knee joints after discovering how awesome they are on my off-topic Obitsu 22/24/26 bodies. I also always felt like the Michelle I used to have had shoulders that were a little bit too narrow, so I think the wider shoulders look great!

 

Hopefully not! I can definitely vouch for the posability of the v1. It's really solid and it seems to be a fair amount of ppl's favorites. I too like it for the lack of wide hips, it makes pants fit a whole lot easier xD

 

I'm looking into getting a Michelle in tan and I was wondering if anyone knew how well it holds up! Has anyone had experience with theirs going green?

 

I have a Myou doll in coffee colour. I got her in January 2022 and she doesn't look green at all, I'm happy with the colour. Coffee is a very light tan though, I don't know if darker shades fare this well.
