MYou 45cm - part II

I have trouble getting my Michelle's new v2 body into some regular MSD clothes. This body is large. I find the legs too chunky, and can only use the larger stockings on her.

 

Hmmm.. this makes me question it now.
My last msd was a small artist doll with extremely chunky legs and hips. I got rid of her partially because clothes options were extremely limited and hard to find. Planning outfits is my favorite part of the hobby. I don’t want to struggle with it again. is body version 1 more compatible?

 

The ver.1 body is slimmer, yes. It's also better at posing, I would definitely recommend it. That being said, I never had trouble dressing the ver. 2 body either, it really depends what kind of clothing you're going for.

 

Personally I dont have issues with MNF skirts and leggings, though they are a bit tight. But yeah, I have the single jointed body ver2 and it's very bulky.
I have another Myou on preorder, but with a different body, so I may swap between them, as body 1 and 3 are much slimmer and fit more of the MNF sizes.
I do believe that volk bottoms work for the body 2 versions, as they are slightly wider (Someone else pointed this out, but I can't remember where)

 

Has anyone else found that MYou's default wigs are too small? When I received my Ling Wei back in August, her wig was so small that it slipped off constantly. It was almost impossible to get on in the first place. I bought a Leekeworld LR-152_M wig, which is 7-8 inches, and it fits perfectly. It isn't a huge deal, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had the same problem.

 

On my Dietrich it fit, but I dont like the severe lack of styling of the wig. However, I did find for the wigs that are slightly too small to use a little bit of painterstape roled up so it's double-sided to be amazing to keep them frm slipping!

 

I recall my Michelle's default wig to be on the small side as well, so you're not alone there. Myou doesn't seem to have the best track record of having better-fit wigs, and like Ysebeth said, the wig styling can be... hit or miss. Most advice that I've seen when it comes to Myou is to just buy wigs elsewhere, save yourself the trouble assuming you don't mind the risk

 

Or like I did, my favourite wig is one I made myself, even if it looks crappy, I haven't found a similar coloured wig yet elsewhere
Also, buying wigs makes me nervous because they always give a range instead of actual measurents, so if it's 6-7 or 7-8 how can you be sure you're getting one that fits? (my thinking)

 

It might have been discussed already, but I don't seem to find an answer... I'm interested in the comparison between ver. 2 new and ver.3 girl bodies, would anyone be willing to take a picture of theirs side by side? Also, ver. 3 owners - how do you find the posability? Thanks a lot in advance

 

For anyone who owns the v1 body, have you ever tried Myou's heeled feet on them? And does it fit or not fit as Alice's Collections said on their store page? Recently I've fallen in love with high heeled shoes that I wanna buy for my v1 bodied girl Faline, but I don't want to risk buying high-heeled feet that isn't compatible;;

 

Out of curiosity, does anyone here know that Myou do sell separated bust piece or not?

My friend have a Myou 45Cm girl with S bust but she prefer the L bust. Buying a whole new body would be too much though... ?

 

I honestly think you'd need to contact Myou themselves directly for that, I never saw any busts sold seperately on Dolk BJD, Denver Doll or Alice Collections.

 

I ordered heel feet with my v1 body (through Alice's), and I just specified in the note that the feet should be for the v1 body. They fit perfectly fine, no problems with them.

 

I find the ver3 body has good posability, but is kinda kicky. My girl can't be trusted to stand at all, even with a stand. I suspect that's more an elastic problem than an engineering one though

 

Thank you very much for your reply! It seems like it could help to restring her with a slightly longer elastic?

 

More than a longer one, I'd use a thicker one. It's a tip that's often shared on the resinsoul thread since those dolls are often kicky, but a thicker elastic can help with that. It had helped some other dolls I have (a mature tiny myou doll and a doll leaves), so it should be worth a try.
I just need to check if I still have elastic the right size.

 

I sold my girl on the v3 body last year & from what I remember, posing was okay-ish. She really could not sit up on her own at all, so if I’d wanted to keep her, I would have tried a full restringing with some hot glue sueding. I’m not sure if that’s a general problem with those or if mine was just difficult. Otherwise posing was fine. Overall I liked that body more than the version 2 new I had recently, though. I like the aesthetics of the v2 more, but most of my minis are on the slim side & the v2 just didn’t fit in, so I swapped it out for a Doll Leaves body (MNF hybrid). Version 3 is still a bit bigger than slim minis, but it shares clothes more easily.

 

Thank you very much for such a detailed response! May I ask you, if you still remember, how was the v2 new body posing? Any particular issues you would recall?

 

I didn’t play around with it much due some life stuff that was going on then, but anything I did try with it worked well! The body was very solid & on the heavier side, sat nicely, and held poses well if I recall correctly. My issue was only the size- proportions looked off both as a hybrid & with my other dolls, who are all a bit shorter/slimmer.

 

I have the version 3 girl body. I too find posing not that great but not too bad either. I don't take photos of the doll standing free anymore, she trips over easily. I haven't tried restringing her, so I don't know if it helps or not withe the kickiness.

Another thing is that the proportions are frankly a bit strange when naked. The torso is very thin and long. However when fully dressed, the doll kinda looks like those fashion drawings with exaggerated lengths which I find pretty cool.
