OasisDoll Discussion Thread Part 2

Hey everyone who has a ZiLan. I have a question. I recently bought a ZiLan head on IG and the person who sent it to me sent it in a VOLKS box. There is no COA and they haven't been on IG lately and haven't responded to my messages because of that. There is carving in the head and inside the head back. How can I be sure it's legit?

 

@CarmieSandiego This is their blog: PreOrder:TianQing&ZiLan1/3BoyHeads_oasisdoll_新浪博客

It shows what the inside of the head looks like. There should also be a date and time around the rim if the head is from the second release.

 

Wow! It's the exact marking and I never even noticed the date on rim. Guess I'm not very observant. Is there no COAs with these heads or does the date act as one?

 

@CarmieSandiego They came with COAs . Here's my box opening for them:

Totally new to this list but thanks to some help from a pair of very good friends, my wife and I recently acquired Zilan and Tianqing (OE + dreaming). It’s been a long process but it’s pretty much kept us sane during the pandemic. I finally managed to get my Wei Wuxian put together (doll + robes) and am really excited about it. I wanted to say hello and that Oasisdolls are incredibly beautiful. I am so glad I found them. I look forward to seeing everyone’s pictures!

 

@sephyelysian He looks AMAZING!!! Congrats on getting him put together to your liking in these crazy times. And welcome to this list . I just got face-ups for my OE heads, and am still waiting for their bodies to ship and outfits. I'm going to keep my guys in casual and dressy wear--and maybe in The Untamed outfits later.

 

Aaaaaah! They look fantastic. I love your Tianqing’s hair! Their face ups are so beautiful though! Very much worth the wait.

I started searching for these heads in March? And then they arrived to me in May and June. The SDF65 body for Wei Wuxian arrived in June. Then I was waiting on their clothing after that because shipping from China for Taobao has slowed significantly (unsurprisingly). The robes finally arrived last week. And there’s another set in the mail (because I had to buy the Sunshot Campaign outfit) I admit, I went a little nutty and bought modern clothes as well because like you, I want to go back and forth even if it’s just my modern interpretation of Wei Wuxian.

In one sense, the waiting has been good because I keep thinking of new things I would like to plan for instead of focusing on how anxious things feel these days but on the other hand...waiting is always torture.

Anyway, thank you for the welcome. Your boys really are beautiful! I can’t wait to see more of them and I hope their bodies arrive soon.

 

Update: mod team said he's legit!

 

I know you already got your answer, but I also came by to say that as far as I know from weibo/xianyu/taobao, these boys haven't been recasted. Hope that's helpful!

@sephyelysian and @marci12 YOU KNOW I LOVE YOUR BOYS. I gush over them enough on Insta. Hahaha.

 

Kind of a long shot but does anyone know where I might be able to find/where I should search for the Zilan and Tianqing (both OE) heads? I don’t have much experience at all purchasing secondhand/aftermarket but I really, really want them I’m so sad that I’ve only recently learned of their existence and missed the preorder period TT

 

Honestly, I think the only chance is Weibo. I've almost never seen them on instagram or Facebook or any other western platform.

 

Just some Natalie spam!

 

@mustbemissa Wow, what a great pic! She's gorgeous, thanks for posting

 

Has Oasisdoll gone out of business? I cannot find them on BJD Collectasy. Please help?

 

@Tangier No, they're a small, like 2-person or so business. You can contact them here or on FB that I know of. Look for the group called OasisDoll on FB. Sarina W. (or killbill on DoA) posts info on preorder openings occasionally.

 

I also took a million years to get my Alejandro painted and assembled. But now he's done and only waiting on some eyes!


Sverre is a bit of a chameleon, but right now it's vintage babydoll dresses because the 90's are back. *shrug*

 

Alejandro is such a gorgeous sculpt! Sverre looks amazing.

I think I’m going to add Naomi to my collection. I’ve fallen in love with her nose, and she’s got fairly unique features. Plus, I need more girls!

 

@mustbemissa Naomi is so lovely!
Zilan is on my Maybe Someday if the Stars Align list. I get that recasts have really discouraged artists who can also work in porcelain from doing much in resin anymore, but everything Sarina makes is so beautifully detailed. I wish she'd rerelease some of the boys!

 

It’s true! Sarina’s work is definitely some of my favorite in the hobby, and I was so excited to see that she had a new release with the boys. Though I suppose 2019 isn’t so new anymore… I just think she hits a lovely sweet spot between detailed and stylistic that is sometimes hard to come across these days.

That's exactly it.
