Ninodoll Discussion

Probably a good idea, her email sounds like it's a bit temperamental.

Teddy

 

I'm really looking forward to the heads arriving - I haven't had a Ninodoll since I had custody of a friend's Anna head for a few months (she didn't have a body for her and I had an SD13 body with no head, so I had a visiting doll) a couple of years back:


Is it really only a month between close of pre-order and the heads shipping?

Teddy

 

Yay! Sienna got my order this time around and the payment has been made.

Teddy

 

I still haven't got a reply from her from either pm nor email. :/ Maybe I'll just wait some more

 

I'd try again, just to be sure

She apologised for taking so long to get back to me, that was just over three hours ago, so she may still be getting around to replying to yours, or they may not have got through to her - it's impossible to tell.

Teddy

 

Oh yeah, i forgot to say here, but i did get in contact with her in DOA and my bada is on it's way :3

 

Yay! My Shampoo head is on the way too.

 

And my Bada and Juri heads are already in the country (awaiting customs clearance, accordign to tracking)

Looks like we'll all get them about the same time - Yay!

Teddy

 

Mine is too! At the airport right now, waiting for Customs to do their thing. Ugh.

Can't wait till she's home! Of course, she'll then have to go away again for face-up, but still. One step closer to having a new doll!

 

Same here - although I also have the unenviable task of trying to decide which of the two heads will be the one that gets used/kept, and whether I keep the other head (and start saving for a body) or sell on the one that isn't right for the current project.

Teddy

 

Hehe :3 yeah, it's awesome if we all get them at the same time. And I'm trying to faceup the bada as a girl, since I think bada would look very cute girl. :3

 

I think you're right - I couldn't decide between Bada and Juri for the girl I'm currently putting together so ordered both heads... we will see which one works best for this particular character (I don't have a good track-record for dolls conforming to pre-decided characters - most of mine the doll comes first and they let me know their characters as I get to know them).

The body is here, already dressed (an oufit that will do for now, but will need to be replaced with a more correct version of the outfit if the character works - more sewing for me), and waiting to see whether Juri or Bada works best for her.

In theory it will be a case of keeping the head that works best and selling-on the other one.

Teddy

 

Yay, mine is here! I just LOVE her on the Dollstown body. The resin match seems slightly off, as far as I can tell in this evening light, but nothing a bit of proper blushing won't fix. Now all I need is my Taobao order here to dress her a bit better and of course for her to have a face-up... and a name!

Any arrivals in the UK and Finland?

 

Excellent!!!

Mine have just reached the local depot so I need to call and pay the Customs charges before they'll deliver them (tomorrow or - more likely - Monday....I'll bring the body, wig and eyes in to work with me so I can try both heads on it straight away and see if I'm any more decided between Bada and Juri for this girl.

Any sign of yours yet, Kihaku....?

Teddy

 

I had a Bada head awhile ago, but sold it and then repurchased a new one shortly after since the preorder period was open (about 2 pre-orders ago I think?). Hoping to get her a girl body since I actually want mine as a girl. I'm thinking of putting her on the Loongsoul 58CM girl body in Normal-Yellow. If anyone has other recommendations for good posing female bodies around 60cm that would match I'd love to hear about them!

Here's a photo of the old head I had! I plan on giving/commissioning a more dramatic faceup though for the new head. I wish I'd gotten the wig in a smaller size as it's a bit lose on her head, but I didn't actually buy it for her, she just stole it and looked cute with it! :3

 

Very pretty - the sculpt works well as a girl.

Teddy

 

Tracking now says: Delivery scheduled

Ransom Demand was minimal (over half of the amount will be admin charges, rather than actual Customs charges - which is the annoying part)

Since they're coming to my workplace it will probably be tomorrow for delivery, but Monday before the internal-post system gets the package to my desk.

Teddy

 

That's wonderful news!

Same here - more than half of the fee consisted of admin charges. Urgh.

Aaaaaand I just checked the resin match again this morning in daylight and it's almost spot on! The difference is really minimal, hardly noticable, hurrah! No blushing to match necessary at all. I'll be sending her off for her face-up tomorrow, and in the meantime I am going to hunt down some eyes for her and possibly a wig, if I see anything I like. If nothing catches my eye, she'll be sharing wigs with my Supia Rosy.

Sorry to hear you'll have to wait until Monday for yours!

 

I'm away for the weekend anyway so it's not as I'f I'm missing out on doll time.

Glad to hear the resin-match works for you.

Teddy

 

The heads arrived at my desk about half an hour ago and (since the managers are away) I've been very naughty and tried both on the body and am STILL having trouble deciding between them...
