I mean my head came the day after I got the shipping notification, hehe! I wonder how they manage to ship that quickly?
She came in today and she is absolutely gorgeous!! I am totally in love! I’ve never had a resin doll before and it’s super different from vinyl, I really like it though! I can’t wait to dress her up! I won’t post pics right now because she’s naked and eyeless but I’ll add more pics as I get her finished!!
Thank you!! I’ve got to sew some clothes, then see about her faceup. I’m considering doing it myself but I’m a little fearful. I know if I seal it properly it should be easy to wipe mistakes away but it still feels like a large undertaking.
I kinda put off mentioning this, combined with the fact that this is the 1/4 Kumakos and not the 1/6 Baby Kumakos, but I got my hands on the Baby Kumako EGG-02 (thank proxies for that)! I've had it since January and have plans for a fanart doll of..... an obscure Japanese RPGmaker indie game series character??? But I love that guy so much so I wanna go through with it, lol!
Can anyone tell me if the 1/4 Kumako is considered a big baby Big BB Discussion(All Companies) | Page 19 | Den of Angels
No, Kumako is not a Big Baby. The Big Baby description is for dolls that are ~45cm tall but have a larger head (8+ inches) and childlike proportions. 1/4 Kumakos have wide hips and busts that make them more adult than child. Additionally, the styling of Kumako by the company is often adult-y, compared to the styling of, say, DearSDs, which are always styled as children by the company.
@snowgray: Thank you so much!! Anything similar to Leekeworlds A type Art body? What size wig does she wear?
1/4 kumakos wear 8-9 inch wigs If you’re looking for clothing, they can wear most MSD (particularly if they are A-line, or loose tops). Bottoms are a little trickier. online you’ll see a lot of things labeled as “Bear Sister” and that’ll be referring to Kumako size.
Are puyoodoll kumakos able to wear things like volks MDD or MDD mochi-ashi clothing? Theres some cute dresses by them that I’d like for my puyoodoll. I know pants are a no go.
Mochi-ashi I think is possible. Regular MDD is a no for the same reason as the pants. If it can fit a mochi-ashi MDD I think it can fit a Kumako though.
@RozenGermain: Just throwing this out there because I was just on the site. Dollhearts is having a 20% off sale (I know still expensive...) and they note on each item if it fits Kumako. Dollhearts clothing: MDD / MSD│1/4
Some MDD stuff does fit! It really depends on the size. Things that are stretchy, more loose fitting and flow-y can fit. I have a few Volks MDD/MSD outfits that work great! Anything labeled at "slim" however won't fit!
@SoapBubbles what a cute pair! I’m desperately trying to find shorts and pants that will fit mine. Also, the crew. There have been a couple of additions since this pic but wanted to share it anyway:
Has anyone had to restring their kumako before? Mine is getting a little loosey goosey. I think it is probably time to restring her -- but I'm soooooo out of practice. The last time I've restrung a doll was like 15 years ago . Does anyone know if you can use the Volks MSD elastic on other 1/4 size dolls? T_T Is that a stupid question? Anything I need to keep in mind or look out for? Also if you happen to have a favorite guide/resource or any tips for me I'd greatly appreciate your help!
Can't say I've had to restring mine despite him being second hand... I think it's the jointing as to why.... I have no idea if there are even guides on how to restring Kumakos anyway...... Sorry....
I feel like there's probably a stringing guide with their papers since you'd have to partially unstring them to switch to the legs. Can't seem to find it online though
The booklet does show how to replace the legs, but that's it! It doesn't mention how long the string is, etc.
