Raccoon Doll Discussion - Part 6

She’s stunning! Those lips are so striking.

 

Does anyone know about an update of the "new glamour body"? cause the info is gone from the homepage. I am excited to see it but wonder what happened that it takes so long

 

Monica, out for a ride on a very cold, windy morning...

 

Always enjoy seeing your photos of the dolls with the horses @MB Lilac !

@JinCIncy - Thanks. I had to take advantage of all the flowers blooming in that field, so several of my dolls got to ride through it.

 

Patrice S yeah i saw that now. In facebook, people were discussing about if it is MSD or SD. I think (and hope) it´s the new version of the glamour body. I hope we gonna see more soon.
The ellbow joints are different than the old version of the bodies and the updated slim body
So let´s wait and see.

Anybody know if Racoondoll is going to release more types of hands for the girl dolls? Or if Iplehouse FID hands will fit Racoondoll?

I've been eyeing the "second hands," but they've been listed as sold out ever since I started an order with BJDivas two months ago.

 

Iplehouse JID hands will fit Raccoon ladies, but resin match could be an issue depending on the colour. My Monica, who is Sweet Mocha, has JID Girl Fantasy Hands in special real skin, which is a very good match.


Unfortunately Rosie, who is Milk Mocha is stuck with her Raccoon hands since there's no resin match with Iplehouse. I also don't know if Iple FID hands fit.

 

Oh, I like her a lot! Uh oh..........................

 

Yes, Iplehouse FID hands fit Raccoondoll too! The NS colour matches very well, but I don't know about any of the other colours.

 

Two new dolls up, plus new slim body, plus free shipping event!!!!

...Not sure why they now have three versions of the slim body when they were going to do a new glamour body, but oh well! Maybe it's yet to come?

 

morganatron I really hope that we gonna see the new glamour body soon

The problem of the slim body version 2 is that the updated body lost a bit of the good posing of the 1st version (at least in my opionion) - they did the mobility thights the other way round. It was not possible to snap into to hold the pose like it was in the 1st version. This is the main reason why i sold my girl i bought on that body- I wish to see "in action" pics of the 3rd version slim body

 

The new body is interesting - the hips and legs fit together a lot smoother which is nice aesthetically, and so do the arms fitting in to the shoulders - not sure how that changes the movement though. The upper legs are slimmer too. The neck looks thicker though, which I don't love. The large bust is bigger than the original I think, but the boobs are sort of going to the side rather than having cleavage in the centre - they've gone for a natural look rather than as if she's wearing a bra, but I think I'd prefer the cleavage honestly- I like how that looks better in clothes! But others may prefer this of course!

So, eh, not that excited myself, but I am looking forward to seeing if the glamour body is going to get another option too. And I WOULD be excited about the free shipping but all I want is a doll head and only a few are available, not the "basic head" option so you can't choose between all of them!

 

Just finished looking at the new slim body. Definitely a bit confusing to have three slim bodies... (Slim, slim vol 2, and new slim). I sort of forgot slim vol 2 even existed until I saw the side by side pictures on raccoondoll website.

I see a lot of improvement visually in new slim to the old ones. It's really a different body from slim vol 2, but very similar to original slim. Slightly different curves to the waist and shoulder line. I think they are more natural on new slim. Somehow I like the ivy head better than the rose head on new slim, but that's probably just personal preference.

The listing says the arm and wrist movement is better. And that would be great, my original slim has basically no wrist movement and it's always bothered me.

I look forward to see owner photos.

 

I just hit the button on Ivy. She is so beautiful!
Question: Since the shipping costs are getting higher and higher, who would rather buy a kit in a small package and assemble the doll yourself if that would reduce the shipping considerably?
I wouldn't mind doing that, since I take them apart anyway for sueding and blushing.
If the doll came in parts and if there was a video how to go about putting it together, would you go for it?

 

ResinRapture to save shipping of course i wouldn´t mind to assemble the doll on my own- I have a lot of iples and sometimes they are strung too lose so i receive them and restring them. I think if raccoon offers this it would be great. I think i saw your enquiry about that at the Q&A at their homepage.
