MYou tinies discussion - Part 2

Yes, they will. I've been wanting to 'age' her porcelain babies into toddlers, but didn't want to start with the normal resin ones only to switch them for the new ones at some point. I'm just hoping the coffee colour is as nice as I'm expecting.

 

I’m excited to see them when they’re finished! I really love the coffee resin color.

 

Thank you^^ I might try her with purple hair next And I agree with you, I love the mature tiny size, she is so much easier to manage than my 70cm doll!

 

The coffee DuDu and Feng Linger arrived, and it's a beautiful colour resin. Even so, I've decided to just replace the Fair Daniel (DuDu) with the new coffee one, and keep the original fair Fiona (Feng Linger) since it's more compatible with their parents resin colours. However, I do love the coffee Feng Linger, and will see if any of my other doll families would like to adopt her.

 

So, I was "window shopping" on DDE's "What's New?" part of their website and came across a fullset of Tiny Feng Linger (ns) and fell in love. I ordered her. Curse you Pay in Four! Anyway, I am excited. I have never owned a Myou Doll before.

 

@Dollquest: I'm glad you got her! I saw her, she was tempting at a good price. The tinies are VERY cute.

 

Oh, wow, those dolls do look stunning.

@Dollquest So happy you were able to get the doll!

 

Seeing all your adorable Myou cuties makes ma so eager to get my Doudou! I was wondering whether any of you chose a classic YoSD size body under their big head for the 30cm 1/6. I am wondering whether I made a mistake after all XD I saw some rare pics on Instagram and Doudou in that size looked very cute, though. Thought it was a smart move accessories-wise and posability-wise as well.

Ooooooh they look so beautiful together!!! And he's so cute!!! Damn it, you're adding to my doll wishlist, now my SJ/Raccoondoll/FID have one kid (Raccoondoll Girl) I want to add to the family with dolls in different sizes and ages - and the Myou here actually looks in scale with the head size which I haven't had much luck with in the past! Hmm, and Alice's collection is having a sale with Myou where not only are the dolls cheaper, you also get a free doll head in the same size. Tempting!!! Oh why do all the doll companies always have sales at the same time?!

 

Tell me about it XD I unfortunately discovered that Gem of Doll has a sale going on, too, and that Beth looks lovely XD! But my boyfriend gifted me a MYOU body already and I have to be good and remind myself that those are NOT playline dolls XD. One thing you could do to get the best advantage for this sale, if you are not like me and you want your dolls blank, is to get the body of your doll of choice and then select the head you want for it as the gift one XD. I would have done that, but I have another gift head in need of a body, so... XD

 

Further on the free gift head...

Would anyone be willing to take pictures of one of the 1/8 heads on a YoSD body?

I'm wondering if a hybrid with one of the 1/8 heads (Dudu, Feng Linger, etc) and a slim YoSD (eg Resinsoul) body would work, to make a taller doll! Would anyone who owns one of those dolls be willing to take pictures? On any Yosd body would be fine, even if it doesn't fit, I just want to see the proportions!!!

 

All the 1/8 heads are not the same size. I didn't realize that when I chose the free heads when I ordered my FengLinger and DuDu. I never checked the measurements and just assumed they were all the same size. So I chose RouRou and Nuannuan as my free heads, and was surprised when they arrived that they were considerably bigger than Feng Linger and DuDu. Unfortunately I don't care for the 'bobble-headed' look, so they proved to be a total waste as far as I'm concerned. Live and learn, as they say.

 

I don’t like the bobble head look either. I have wondered if they increased the size to make it easier to find wigs.

 

Thanks. I'd been looking for toddler age babies for my SJ/FID parents, and think Fenglinger and DuDu work great. They may not be the same, totally realistic aesthetic like their parents, but I'm willing to overlook that.

 

@MB Lilac Great picture and wonderful costumes as usual! I just have one problem! My Fenglinger wants me to make her a dress like that!

 

Thanks. It's just that Baron's Victorian outfit is not the same period as everyone else since he was heading off on an errand, but I wanted to see how they all looked together.

I spent all of January and February making Daniel (DuDu) and Fiona (Fenglinger) complete wardrobes. It takes almost as long to make such tiny clothes as it does to make the bigger MSD ones. Well, not Daniel's. I just made him some stretch 'denim' tights in order to reduce the bulk of making fabric pants and socks, and I made some long sleeve T-shirts to go under his tunics. Those went pretty quick. Fiona's three gowns were another story. And since I decided to keep both Fenglingers, I'll need to make more gowns, enough for the two of them to share.

 

They both look so gorgeous!!! And I love the dresses too - I can see sewing on this scale will be a challenge!!! Your work is always so inspiring, they both look so amazing here!

That's good to know about the different sized heads too - I also don't want the bobble headed look!!! I was thinking of getting a Dudu, since I can see from your pictures he matches well, and I think looks most in scale with the bigger dolls (as compared to the other 1/8 more bobble headed ones!). I was also thinking of just getting Dudu as the free head, since I like that sculpt best - and then if it worked on a taller body I could have two kids with different ages? I suppose I could get it anyway, I do have YoSD bodies of my own to try after all, and could just get another Myou body later if it doesn't work, and have twins (or two mysteriously identical kids from different families) - but if anyone DOES have a YoSD body they can try, I'd still love to see pictures!

I really shouldn't be buying more doll now, and would wait except for this free head event - they don't sell heads separately the rest of the time, right?

 

I think a DuDu head would be way too small for a YoSD body. The only dolls that size I have are Iplehouse BIDs and some Kaye Wiggs tinies, and his head would be way too small for either of those. I do have a photo of my second FengLinger (Lizbet) with her Mom and bigger sister, who is an IH BID. Lizbet has the exact same size head as DuDu, and you can see it would be way too small....

 

Ahhh I see, you’re right, that wouldn’t work at all! Thank you so much for that, it’s hard to picture without seeing it - but this makes it clear. Oh well, it was a thought! And I could still get Dudu on the original body of course… now to decide whether to do it now to get that free head or wait and stop spending so much money!

EDIT: I am weak willed and couldn't resist: I got Dudu with the extra head while he was on sale! And when I asked Alice's Collections, they were happy for me to pay for a face-up for the extra Dudu head as well, so now I don't need to worry about face-ups when they arrive! I will need to get the extra body at some point, but that can wait. No idea where I'll get nice wigs that aren't too boofy, either. But looking forward to sewing some cute clothes when he/they arrive! Thanks so much everyone for your advice and help!!!
