Mystic Kids 1/3 doll discussion

Miri is beautiful! I have one so I am biased towards her. I just set up all my dolls nicely yesterday, so I don't have any new picture of her to post. I'll provide some spam of Jolene later.

 

Yea! Spam is always good !

 

Yaazi (Eileen) went out for a little walk in the new snow.

 

Oh man! Love all these MKs!! I am a newbie to bjds...but have 2 MKs on order, one of which is Eileen (and then a Christina). I fell in love with Eileen...but now I may need a Mira too :-)

Have few questions though....
Do people usually order 'full sets' or is it more common for all of you to buy a 'blank' doll? With or without a faceup? And does it matter who make the wigs? (I saw a couple of wigs on DDE and assuming they are the right size could they be used for MKs?

Sorry for all the questions...just trying to learn while I wait for my girl to arrive ;-)

 

Ordering fullset is a preference. Sometimes a fullset will include an outfit(or wig/eyes/etc.) that you just have to have. Same with faceup'd versus blank. Some people like the way the company painted the doll and sometimes they would rather paint the doll themselves to be sure they get that perfect look or they commission the talented people around the web offering their services. No, it doesn't matter who makes the wig, as long as it's in the right size range and it's what you like. I think the SD MK's are 8/9 in wigs.

Hopefully I was a little helpful. ^^;

 

Does anyone know if the MK white skin is anywhere close to Luts ws?

I have my eye on Milo right now, but the 1/3 body is also very tempting as i've been looking to get a new body for one of my boys.

 

I have a ws Miri and my sister has a ws event head from 2012, I can take a pic or two when I have some free time.

 

That would be awesome!

 

If it is not too much trouble, could you put the Luts head on your girl's body, or hold it up next you your girls head where we can see the shoulder proportions? I was also thinking of maybe using a MK girl body for a luts head.

 

Here's a shot with a few companies.

This was taken with flash, From left to right head caps are:
Soom 2011/12
Mystic Kids 2013
Dikadoll 2013
Impldoll 2012 (Hand)
Luts 2013 (neck donut)

Here's a quick shot of a Luts neck donut in ws from 2013 and my Miri's head cap.

This was taken with flash. It's pretty close, Luts is pinker than MK.

I'm out of the weekend, but when I get home I'll try and get a shot of the head on my Miri's body.

 

if luts is a bit pinker than MK this is perfect! I don't even think you would be able to tell the difference with a faceup.

Thank you so much for the comparison, Koma

 

Thank you sooooo much! That helps a ton!

 

Here's the Luts head on Miri's body.


There is a noticable gap, but it might fit better on the male body.

Another shot.

Sorry for the lame pics, there wasn't a good place to take these pics with better lighting. Hope this helps.

 

aww yeah that resin looks pretty durn similar to me in these pics! Or at least the match will be better than the body my boy is currently on >_>; stupid environmental resin doesn't match anything.
Thank you again for the pictures, Koma!

Milo is getting more and more tempting the more I look at him... I think I might reshell one of my other boys as his sculpt hmm... there's just something so adorable about his face ;-;

 

Koma: Ahhh, her neck looks a bit short and her head a bit big, gosh darnit DX Thank you SOOOOOO much though, I am glad to see it beforehand instead of trying out the combo myself and ending up with a failed hybrid. Too bad though since the white resins look so close. ;;

 

Does anyone know what size eyes MK Eileen and Christina have? I have tried looking but can't find eye size

 

sandyvern it's good to try a selection of different sizes anyway, to see which you prefer - it makes such a huge difference to the look of the doll! As the doll in my avatar takes 20mm eyes, I would guess Eileen (who is also on my wishlist!) will fit anything from 16 - 20mm, depending on how big you like the iris to be on a doll's eye. If you buy acrylic 'reborn eyes' from ebay, they are very cheap and will give you a good idea of what size eyes you like best

 

Thank you elve! I am waiting on Eileen and Christina....but was looking at eyes for another doll so thought I would check so I would have some for when they arrive

 

they'll come with eyes anyway won't they? You might even love their default ones - who knows

 

I wonder if MK Doll 1/3 normal skin would match Impldoll model skin in normal pink color due l want a Lawrence head in normal pink color. I was looking at the nick size and they would match but not sure on the skin color.
