Pygmalion Dolls

A while ago (maybe a year?) the artist said she had health problems and was going to get married, I think.

 

Now that you mention it, that sounds familiar...

 

oh I really hope her health is okay... :/

of course she doesn't owe us anything but a little communication never hurts ^^'

 

Hello everyone, it's not totally official but sadly Pygmalion has mentioned that she will be focusing on other art endeavors going forward. She is also going through some personal issues so I'd definitely appreciate any well wishes and also respect for her privacy. I'll ask if she would like to post an official statement regarding this in the meantime.

 

Thank you for the info! I was wondering what had happened to the artist. It always makes me sad and worried when artists or companies get MIA. So many small companies dissapeared.

 

Ok, I talked to Pygmalion and she said there will be a final sale in April but after that, Pygmalion Dolls will be closing indefinitely and support will be over for them sadly. I'll post here and send out emails with more information later on, so if you would like to sign up for the emailing list, follow this link to the form.

 

that's good news! i'm super happy to hear she's doing okay
i really wish her all the best for her future projects and other art endeavours!
i'm also very happy that she'll be having a final sale
i'm so ready to grab a few heads! her dolls are just so lovely

 

How lovely of her to be willing to do one last sale.

 

Thank you so much for checking with her! I'm sad to hear Pygmalion Dolls will be closing, but it's so kind of her to do one last sale. I wish her luck in her future ventures!

 

With a final release hopefully still forthcoming before too long, I have been struck with a terrible case of indecisiveness. For those who have, or had, a head in the warm ivory skintone, what was it like to live with? From the various photos I have seen, it looks like it’s up there in terms of colour saturation to the point of being jarring, especially if placed with dolls of a paler semi-white kind of tone. Or is it really not that bad in person? I realize I could potentially order myself a Noah in both warm ivory and the white, but it’ll come down to cost, so would love to hear (and see) more from warm ivory owners. Thank you!

 

Hi~ I have Pygmalion heads both in White skin and Warm Ivory skin!

The White skin is NOT white. It's a pinkish normal skin.

Sorry for low quality of my photos

Warm ivory is a light tan. It is also very pinkish and it's very hard to hybrid
It's close to Iplehouse Peach Gold but not quite close enough, a tad darker. (in my opinion, hybridations work better when the head is not darker than the body.) Warm ivory also works quite well with Dollshe copper oriental, though it is a tone lighter.
You can find companies that do resin matches like DFH or DFA. DFH seems to have really good proportions too.

But still Warm ivory is really a pain to match. I absolutely love the colour but... I sold my Ha in White to get a Ha in Warm ivory and I kinda regret because finding a body is a nightmare

White is on the contrary very easy to match! the difference in colours is much less obvious.

It's also easier to blush to make it match the body. My Noah head is in White and I blushed it to be light tan/Peach gold.

 

Thank you very much for the thorough reply and the photos! I really appreciate it. I did know/realize the “white” is more like a regular pinkish skintone. I have a doll in that kind of colour and would have liked my future Noah to be different/darker. I will probably go for the white because as you say, it’s easier to colour match with blushing if nothing else. I can aim for a slightly darker body and then get the head done up to match.

 

In the past I didn’t know how pink and dark warm ivory is. I bought a few heads in this resin tone. I used a pale green pastel to neutralize the red. It worked quite well. But I always have bought white since then.

 

I've read somewhere (probably here on DOA) that the red in pygmalion resin will fade nicely when exposed under sunlight
but i'm not confident enough to leave my heads out in the sun

 

I tried that first but they didn’t fade after a week so I gave up.

 

There is an option to order in real white, which does not have any additional pigment.

 

Me again. This is probably a longshot, but is anyone here in a position to compare warm ivory and Dollfie Dream tan? Or even compare it against DD Flesh? There’s method to the madness of my asking.

 

Ok, looks like the last ordering period will be sometime next week! Please keep an eye out for emails since further details will be released there (including how to order etc). I hope everyone who wants to get a Pygmalion Doll can get one during this last sale.

I’m sooo ready to jump on this!
