Raccoon Doll Discussion - Part 6

@morganatron I have a bunch of pictures of some of my 50-ish boys on my Flickr (too many to post in 1 post here). There's a group shot from several years back (2016 I think?) that shows the bulk of my 50's but not all of them as my current collection stands (I own 78 dolls from 42 companies right now). Miscl Stuff (I hope that link to the album works). There's several shots in that album with my RD boy and dolls from other companies.

I have 19 dolls between the sizes of 49.5cm to 58cm from the following companies: Soom, Raccoon Doll, Iplehouse, ImplDoll, Granado, Soul Doll, Dream Valley, Batchix, Doll Chateau, Doll Family A and Angel of Dream/LE Doll.

I didn't start out to collect all the weird, little known/seen dolls but here I am . A fair number of the dolls I have (in general) are limited in some way (number made or time available), discontinued or the company has long since closed. If there's a specific pair you'd like to see, just ask and I might be able to accommodate you. Be advised that I don't collect female dolls so I can't help with that aspect.

 

Oh wow that's awesome, it's so cool to see them all together, you have a great crew there!!!
I do love the Soom ID51 dolls, would love to get one of them, but they're released so seldom, and I never seem to have the money when they do! Maybe some day... But thank you so much for the links, all those photos are such a useful resource!!! I never thought the Souldoll Vito dolls would match with this size, now those releases are something I need to keep an eye on too - the wishlist grows!!!

 

@morganatron I have a list of 50-ish boys and while the bulk of the list are dolls that are limited/discontinued, there are some that are regularly available. It's not a huge list though as it is a more rare size for boys specifically. There are some on the list that I'd like to get my grabby hands on but it comes down to available funds, if the sculpt is a character of mine and if the doll is available.

I've been extremely fortunate in having many dolls just fall into my lap. I have 4 Soom ID51 and only 1 of them was bought directly from Soom. My Raccoon, Batchix, Doll Chateau and one of my Soul Doll boys were pre-loved finds, too. I had purchased a Dollshe 55cm at the first pre-order waaaay back in spring of 2018 but after nearly 16 months and constant flimsy excuses for why the doll was still not done, I cancelled the order and got a refund. To the best of my knowledge that doll has never been produced and in my opinion I don't think it's likely it'll ever see production at this point but I've left it on the list because Dollshe still has orders outstanding for it and it's still listed on the website.

This is the list I've compiled for 50-ish boys. I do dip down to 48cm (which I suppose is technically MSD) and up as high as 58cm (which is still an unusually short size for boys). If there's nothing listed after the size, the doll is a standard, any time available doll. I can't comment on some of the dolls and their suitability with other dolls of this size range as I don't own all the dolls on this list (I have 12 from this list).

SoulDoll Vito: 52cm
Soom ID51: 51cm (Limited)
Racoon Doll: 51.5cm
Iplehouse FID: Muscle-49.5cm Model-49cm
Iplehouse Creaa-J: 50.5cm (semi-limited?)
Batchix 50's: 50cm (retired/discontinued)
SartoriaJ 51Ath, 52Zeus: 51cm, 52cm
Dollshe Classic Mini: 55cm (unknown production date; still pending)
Granado 53 Lucifer: 53cm (1 time crowdfund)
Doll Family-A (selected sculpts): 56cm
ImplDoll Model: 58cm
Aggati (mDDD body): 50cm (posted pre-order on Flickr)
Unoa Elder (Xyle/Zest): 50cm
Conarium: 49cm
Immortality of Soul (Cho): 56cm
Dollmore Adam: 57.5cm
Dream Valley (1/4): 51cm
Dolly Planet Nayuta/White: 48cm
DollNoize: 51cm (posted pre-order, limited/discontinued?)
Magic Mirror Levon: 52cm (Limited)
Island Doll (Hua Island) Long Qingzhi: 48cm
Luts Model Delf51: 51cm
Doll Chateau (K08 boy body): 50cm

 

Oh wow, thank you so much for the super helpful comprehensive list!!! I had no idea there was so many in this size! Yeah, I also like the look of Dollshe but would never, ever order from them given their reputation of dolls just never showing up. As for me, I have Raccoondoll girls, FID boys and girls, one SartoriaJ girl and I'd like to get a SartoriaJ boy and another girl with a different bust size. And one or two hybrids! (Raccoondoll heads with either JID body or a boy Dollzone body). And if I had the money I'd buy a whole lot more!

 

@morganatron Glad the list is helpful. They are still a more difficult male size to find but I'm happy that more companies are coming out with the size. I was extremely tempted by SartoriaJ when they did the fog grey resin (I'm pitifully weak against grey resin) recently but somehow remained strong.

I forgot to mention about the Dollmore Adam size. Dollmore lists him as being taller (60cm) but I'd asked a DoA member who owns several of the various Klara Klum sculpts (he's their favourite and they own like 5 of them) and they measured him out at 57.5cm for each of them and they had been purchased in different years so it was a consistent thing for the Adam size. This was several years ago though and Dollmore may have updated the sculpt between then and now so I'd suggest confirming with someone who has a more recent doll if an Adam size was of interest.

There are a few others I haven't added to the list mostly because I forgot. They're from single artist companies and some of them haven't offered up the dolls yet as they're still working the bugs out of the design or are looking for reputable/affordable casting places for their creations (I follow several artist on Instagram that are in this position).

 

I'll probably be sticking to the smaller end of the scale, to fit in with the FID and Raccoondoll ladies so probably the Adam is a bit big for me. And yeah, it's hard for the smaller artist creations - some of them are amazing, but it's a bit nerve-wracking with the unknown quality of if they'll actually turn up or not! Plus they tend to be pricier, understandably for small runs. By the way - Rugged Realism released some amazing boys in that size, I really wish I could have got one! But I don't know if there will be any future orders. But that's one to add to your list if you want!

 

One of my friends got a Rugged Realism boy. I think the artist has some health issues that've made it difficult for them to continue sculpting but I might've also heard that wrong.

 

Yes, that's correct unfortunately. I really hope she gets better soon! It sounds awful what she's going through.

 

I have a Rugged Realism Aquilo (Garam) as RD Yumi’s boyfriend. His head, hands, and feet are larger than most 51cm range boys but I think they work as a couple.
Kathy P on Instagram: "Part 2. Date 3. The shyness wears off and they have a romantic night. Garam wakes up first and watches over Yumi. She gets up and they leave the hotel to visit his sister Yoona’s family. Yumi is so happy she could burst. She loves his nephews and so do they! Yoona and Jae Jin approve! #dollstory #raccoondollyumi #ruggedrealismaquilo #ritesofpassageaquilo #iplehouseisabel #iplehousebichun #iplehousefids #rubyredgalleriagigi #rubyredgalleriashan #asianballjointeddoll #balljointeddolls #bjds #bjdsofinstagram #bjdstagram #dollsofinstagram #dollstagram #dollphotography #bjdphotography #balljointeddollphotography"

 

He does have large hands but they do work nicely as a couple.

 

I'm really really wanting a doll on the new natural pose body, it looks really good. I was having trouble deciding on which head, and was mulling it over, when I saw Younan's YouTube video box opening of Diane. Honestly, I had completely overlooked Diane. On the site, she doesn't stand out from the other girls much. But OMG in his video she looks so good! She looks like a much younger girl, maybe still a teen, with her large eyes and soft face. I might need her.

Does anyone have a Diane? I can't seem to find any other owner photos of her...

 

Omg it’s finally happening!!! Raccoondoll just posted a teaser pic and said new glamour body coming soon!!!!

Also looks like two new female sculpts. Very exciting!!! Can’t wait to see proper pictures of the new body!

 

Natural Pose Glamour body vs slim are now posted, as well as the new dolls Hina and Cara.

I really like Hina, her face is so beautiful to me. Cara looks very similar to Cindy. It might just be the makeup, but I think the only difference is the lips?

Argh but now I can't decide between Diane and Hina. They are both very different - Hina looks like a beautiful woman, while Diane strikes me as a playful young girl. I guess I need to decide which type of doll my collection needs.....

 

I also thought that Cara looks like a sister to Cindy. I love Hina and would love a more asian looking addition to my Raccoon dolls and I also love Cindy ...would love to just get them both! haha

 

Have y'all seen the teasers for the 33cm children ? She looks amazing! In the mocha color she looks just like my niece

Ooh I’m excited about this!!! I really hope she looks in scale next to the adult girls! Hopefully they release a photo showing this soon?

 

@morganatron @skyealloway
I hope so too. I've only seen the Insta-teaser, but she looks promising.

Meanwhile I finished Rose (she arrived a year ago).

Meet Solveig Eiger Iversen

 

The 33cm girls are up!!! They do look nice!!! I did ask on Instagram for a picture of them next to the big girls and they said they would, but nothing there yet. Also I can't work out from the wording if it's the same as the "girlish" body just with a smaller neck? No body pictures and I would like to see! Er, and I suppose technically we should be discussing them in the Tinies section?!

 

@morganatron There is a picture next to a woman doll, the last pictures of Juliet's promo pictures. It appears to be the girlish body. Juliet's head was the first, it looks a bit odd, but I love Ada and Jenny.

ETA: I just went ahead an ordered Jenny. I think it's really great that Raccoon released this size, I asked a while ago if he would create a kid in scale with the woman and he did. I will post pictures when I get her of course. The woman in the promo pics wears high heels and I think she is on the new slim, which is a bit taller than the old body. But I think the girls will make great 8-13 year olds next to the woman. I think the girlish body might work for boys as well, they don't really have noticeable bust.

 

Ohhhh I'm dumb, I didn't realise it was the same as the Juliet body, I thought it was a whole new size?! Okay! That's good to know, and it is exciting as it does look to be a good size! I hope they post pics of the new girls (or one of them) with one of the adults anyway, as the heads look sort of different proportions maybe? Anyway, I'd like to see!

Ooooh that's so exciting you've ordered her, I can't wait to see owner pics!!! I can't decide which girl I like best and whether to order one or not? I really would like to, but there's only so much money available for a long doll wishlist! I've been wanting in scale kids for so long though...

EDIT: just went looking for a thread on Raccoondoll in the Tinies section and there doesn't seem to be one! Should we start one? Also I'm still obsessively looking them up and it looks like they're very similar in size to the Iplehouse KID dolls, so that's a clothing resource potentially. Different size feet though. I think Raccoondoll have continued their tradition of making feet it's impossible to find shoes for.

EDIT AGAIN: Yep, couldn't resist. Bought Ada. Hurrah!!!
