Mystic Kids 1/4 Discussion

@PeppermintPocky I noticed on Missy's downsides you said she was very pink. I'm about to buy her, do you recommend I go with the yellow or white resin color? This is my first doll and I'm so unsure about everything!

 

Well, I'd personally recommend against NS-Y simply because I've never seen Mystic Kids' NS-Y and I wouldn't want to take the chance. Some companies' NS-Y can be reaaaaaaally yellow. All shades of pink resin >>> extra yellow resin, IMO. (Not saying that is how Mystic Kids' NS-Y is, just that I don't know.)

I've seen some beautiful WS dolls from Mystic Kids. A quick search on this thread will offer you pretty pictures of their WS. Great if you want your doll to have pale skin.

As for my Missy, NGL, I was surprised at how pink she was when she arrived. I have numerous NS-P dolls from other brands and in those the pink is more subtle.

But I am still glad I went with the color. It still looks like a natural skin tone, and it doesn't distract me or take away from her beauty. When I opened her box, her resin reminded me of my first BJD--- a Dream of Doll DOC Petsha, who also arrived very pink but has mellowed to a very lovely cream shade over 7 years.

So I'd say if you like NS-P the best, go for it. Resin can vary from batch to batch, so my Missy could have just been more pink than their usual. Despite my surprise, I like her color enough that I wouldn't.change her to WS or NS-Y, even if I could.

I always try to add a "worst point" to my dolls' profiles, and honestly I had a hard time thinking up one for her. Whatever resin you choose for your girl, I'm confident she will be amazing!

I hope this helped.

 

Adding to what @PeppermintPocky said, I do really think it depends on the batch. Or maybe I just don't view Mystic Kids' NS-P the same way as they do.

My Evelyn is in NS-P and I think it looks great! Not too pink for me at all. I think it looks very natural and somewhat resembles my own skin tone (although I do have rather pink skin). I have owned a White Skin Francis SP in the past and the color is a really beautiful milky white.

I'm sure whatever skin tone you choose will look awesome.

 

I've since edited Missy's profile to clarify what I meant by "so pink."

Apologies for any confusion I may have caused.

 

Thank you very much. I did her face-up myself.

 

Missy had a lot of fun during a photo session today.

You can see more of her with her Care Bear collection here, if interested.

 

Missy is looking adorable! She's such a modern girl.

 

Thank you bunches!

 

I hope no one minds me joining the thread. >-< I recently traded for a secondhand Mystic Kids Evelyn! She should be arriving sometime next week. I've read through most of the posts and from what I gather this is the important information:
- 6/7 wigs
- 12 or 14mm eyes depending on preference
- slim mini clothes
- impossible to find shoes for tiny feet
- chimpanzee arms
Is that right? xD

 

Congrats on the trade!!! I hope you'll share photos of your girl when she arrives---I'm a sucker for the Evelyn sculpt!

Can vouch for the wig-size, at least my Lillian wears 6-7". I've seen Evelyn in 14mm and 16mm eyes so I'm unsure about 12mm. Slim mini clothes *should* fit, but my girl's dress (which was made for MNF) is a bit tight in the bust. Arms are long, but not as long as my Angel Fantasy Alice's. *snort*

Also, my girl fits perfectly in shoes made for 14" Kish (5.5cm) and Matt O'Neill by Tonner. Boots made for standard minis (like Kid Delfs, etc.) will probably look a bit bulky, though... I went through 3+ types of boots before settling on my girl's current pair.

 

@PeppermintPocky OMG I love that photo of Missy so much! She is so gorgeous!

We mind terribly! Get out with your beautiful MK doll! lol
I'm just kidding, of course we don't mind. The more the merrier!


6-7" wigs work perfectly for these girls; but with some companies, whose sizes run a little small, you can get away with a 7-8".
My Lillian wears a size 7-8" from Licht 2.5D, and it fits like a glove. But otherwise yeah, she wears size 6-7" from other companies.

And I'm going to second PeppermintPocky's shoe recommendation. 14" Kish shoes are perfect for these girls! I haven't tried Matt O'Neill shoes, but I think I need to now. lol

 

Aww shucks! Thank you! Missy thanks you for your kind words, too!

Yeeeeees! Matt O'Neill shoes work fabulously. These boots are the style Missy wears and I highly recommend them. They are snug enough to fit naturally but she can still wear thin socks, etc.

 

Chiming in here to say that my Evelyn wears a 7-8" CoolCat wig and it fits perfectly!

 

Oh my gosh, she's beautiful @HoushiChan!

Her wig is perfect, and I think the name 'Blanche' works wonderfully for her. I agree that hazel colored eyes would look really nice, even though the green ones already look great. If you'd like some reference, I posted a photo of Viola (my MK Evelyn) in gray Mako Eyes on page 35 of this thread. I know you're not looking for gray, but I figure it might help you make a decision.

Thank you for sharing!

 

HoushiChan, great looking wig! Your girl is so pretty!

What's the matter with the name "Blanche"? I think it's very cute and kinda retro. She's YOUR doll - choose the name you like!

 

Thank you for the reference pic. ^-^ It actually helps a lot. I really like the light hair with dark eyes combination. Your girl looks very pretty as well. Apparently we're in the pink hair club together. xD

Thank you so much! And haha my first roommate thinks it sounds too much like garbage (with a snooty French accent) and the other thinks it reminds her too much of blanch (the cooking technique). Plus she's been calling her Luna since before she arrived, haha. They're both pretty entertained with my dolls so I consider myself fortunate. That being said... I still like Blanche. xP

 

Your girl is absolutely gorgeous! I love her to bits. Beautiful wig, too---really brings out the pink in her lips. Congrats on her safe arrival!

And pfft, I think Blanche is an AWESOME name. Seriously. If you love that name, I think you should use it. Outside input can be beneficial and fun at times, but when it comes down to it, she's yours to name however you please. It's like on a professional-level when a superior critiques your work---you don't necessarily go with every single suggestion.

I'm not sure what brand of urethanes you're considering, but hazel is sorta hard-to-find. I do recommend urethane, though because there are so many beautiful kinds to choose from in all different price ranges. Off the top of my head, some "hazel-ish" colors I can think of include Mako Owl-009---an olive w/ brown---and customs from Vings such as this pair.

Silent Paradise also offers a lot of eyes that resemble various shades of hazel, such as this one. I own a pair from SP and they are some of the most stunning urethanes I've ever seen.

I look forward of seeing more photos of your girl soon! Please spam her!

ETA: I stopped typing mid-comment for some reason. Fixed.

 

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I agree, it is difficult to find a pair of hazel urethanes, I assume because of how they're made. I was hoping for a pair of hazels that were more brown than green which makes it even harder, haha. I might just have to settle for glass. I've been wanting to try a pair from Ms.Kokokok (is that what's they're called?) anyway.

And yeah, I've been calling her Blanche anyway (roomie still calls her Luna, though xD). My roommates are some of my closest friends and they're really cool about my dolls so I actually appreciate that they sass me. It kind of feels like we're in the hobby together so I'm all for their disagreements. But thanks so much for the support. ^-^

 

Happy to help! I look forward to seeing what eyes you choose for her. Also, please note I fixed my previous post because apparently I stopped typing mid-thought for one of the sentences. Sorry about that.

 

Haha, don't worry about it. I understood what you meant. Also I seem to keep going back to Silent Paradise's eyes and they just keep calling to me. I've never spent so much on a pair of eyes but I feel they'll be so worth it... as long as clumsy me doesn't drop and crack them. I'll have to consider it more. If I sell some things, those are definitely on the top of my to-buy list. *-*
