Rainman Discussion

I have two Eva heads. I don't usually do doubles of sculpts but I just love the Eva's. This head is from the recent release and was painted by Opaleighty. She is on Dollshe Craft 26F body. I prefer the Rainman body though for Eva. New Eva Head by C. Pemberton, on Flickr

 

@Cherylsdolls, thank you for reply. Please, are the heads of different sizes? I have Kira and Su and Eva from second release via OpalEighty and Eva`s neck-hole seems to me bigger. So I'm confused, I wanted a body for her from Supia (65cm) or Dollstown 18y 18y. Yes, Rainman body is really beautiful. She is outstanding. Thanks for sharing her.

 

My understanding is that Rainman did change the heads at the point that Eva was first released, because he designed his body for that head and planned that future heads could possibly fit it. If you look at his body on his site there is still the message about it at the bottom where he says that earlier heads will sit different on the neck of it. I think I tried my first Eva head on Iplehouse HID and Dollshe Craft 26F, then decided to just order the Rainman body for her. I may have tried a Dollstown 18 but I don't think it worked for me for some reason? Maybe someone with a Dollstown 18 could try it out for you?

 

I remember reading about the different heads. I have a July from the last release as well as a last release Blina. Blina does not fit the Rainman body, the neck hole is too shallow. However July's head fits nice as the neck hole is a bit wider and deeper. So I too will be looking for a body for Blina eventually. I haven't strung my Rainman body yet. But even in pieces, so far I like the aesthetic of it so I will be very excited when I actually get the body strung and July's face painted.

 

Ugh, you guys are making me need an Eva head!

 

She is really beauty, in my opinion very expressive sculpt. But I can't find a suitable body, I want her tall and slender - Dollsown 18y was my dream, but I think the head will not sit properly on the neck. Maybe I will ask OpalEighty if there will ever be next body release.

 

@susana789 , Actually, I think dollstown might work really well. Some people put Rainman's earlier sculpts on dollstown, but those sculpts had a smaller neck hole. Eva was the first doll head with the larger neck hole. It should fit now without adjustment

 

Thank you, because I appreciate advise from experts in craft, so I'll probably try this option. I have DT 18y boy body and I KNOW I must have a girl body too. Currently I am working on color matching tan Tsunaina with Dollshe 26F body (in fresh). So maybe one day maybe I'll find the courage to take photos

 

Oh please do share!

 

I hope someone can help. I have a Rene head coming in in WS.. anyone know of a good body that will fit it.. Someone said Supergem. but aren't they just 6ocm. from what im ready 63cm is more where I need to be to have it look right.. Any help at all would be so appreciated..

 

I just got my Eva head today! This is such a gorgeous, realistic sculpt. (Amazed at how fast it got here)
I agree with what was said above- I think a Dollstown body would work. I also think the head would look good on an EID because of proportions and wider neck hole.
I will pop my Eva head on my EID in a while to satisfy my own curiosity and will post results in case anyone is interested.

 

I think the proportions are not too bad. The neck, of course, would need to be modified.
The head looks really big on my smaller bodies.

 

I like the look @louiselle , but I'm a little surprised at how narrow the shoulders look. But I have been getting a lot of broad shoulder dolls lately and it has skewed my eye, LOL. I'm not sure if her neck needs modification. I think that neck is too pretty to change if I ever get Eva and a dollstown body, I'd give her shoulder pads and be awfully happy

 

I am trying to get a Dollfamily-H body for my Rene in pink normal to see how it fits. I think @IngieBee has Rainman heads on Impldoll bodies (is that you? ) and i find it a beautiful match, too! They are similar to Supergem in size and both companies offer custom resin matching.

I have a painted Eva head, too! I hope to take pictures of her on YID and Sartoria Aphrodite SD bodies soon.

Thank you, @louiselle! The proportions aren't so bad. I thought the head would look smaller on EID body.

 

Nanael, I have DollFamily H body and with Eva`s head it was not great match in my opinion - but I could be wrong (my Eva is from recent Opaleighty release), neck hole is too big and there were big gape for my taste.
But I will be grateful for picture with Eva`s head on Sartoria body.
My Kira from 2018 release is perfect in size with DF-H body, but this first heads until Tsunaina was smaller (and my Kira sits on modified nSID body).
Tsu is bigger than Kira and Blina. Unfortunately, I am not at home at this moment, so picture could be taken at Friday 8th.

 

@shaDrouet I got my Rene a Doll Family H 63 cm body. She is w/s but I painted her to match a different body. Someone else wears that body now though, so I need to repaint my Rene to match this one. It has good posing, not perfect but better than most. I've found this to be so objective, that I feel I must put in a disclaimer, LOL. This is what she looks like on it. Also, I enlarged her neck slot with a 3/8" drill bit so she can take normal hooks. Don't know if Rainman has started making them bigger yet? Oh, and house being worked on, no good place for a picture, LOL

 

Oh, upper joint and hip joints do move side to side, up and down, but require sueding to hold most positions and her legs can do the knee-bend sit. I like Dolls Town better, but there is a big price difference.

 

@Nanael I'm so sorry for missing your question. Yes, I have put my July on it (above and hence her skin tone which will be changed soon), and my Veronica, which now uses the body (she was comissioned by Sabrina Dolls who handled sales. She's comissioned a lot of Rainman sculpts!

 

thank you IngiBee for the info and photos..Looks like shes a nice fit to the body.and I like the smaller chest, I picked up a Super gem body in ws going to see how that goes once its in, but I will keep the one you showed in mind as an alternative if it does not work out. I will post photos. in the meantime. Im also wondering what eye size and wig size works best.. Im thinking shes a 8-9 wig. just not sure on her eye size. Thank you so much again for all the info

 

I use size 12 with small iris on most of my realistic SD sculpts, but that was too small for my July. I think I'd like 14 with small iris but I really don't remember what I've tried. So far she is missing eyes and I need to go shopping and try on what I currently have to see what looks best to me.
