Resinsoul Ai (Hooved Doll) Discussion

Soooo tempted! I still have my Angelsdoll Jin naked, hairless and eyeless (I did give her a faceup yesterday), and two CH tinies on order, so I shouldn't even be thinking about it... but I love Ai's face best, and Romana loves Dan's, and the temptation to get a NS Ai and gray Dan on Ai body is growing and growing.

Ai's face is looking more and more Dragondoll-y to me, and I do love Dragon dolls. Something about the eye shape.

 

Oh, I asked them how much it costed to buy just the hooves and Sun told me $80 ^_^

 

I ordered one at 4pm this morning and to hell with the bank account!


I want some Brighnasa deer antlers for her as I think she is a deer/foresty sprite thingy... I liked the boy but he has the most ridiculous ears!!! it looks like he was hung up by them and they stretched!
I would love a soom doll but it will probably never happen because of the cost so thanks to the lovely people at Resinsoul for this gorgeous sculpt.

I can't wait for her to arrive, should come in time for my birthday in February!yay!

 

Oh, cool! I might have to wait a couple of months, my Ai was sort of a splurge. If I like how the hoof legs work, I might get my Dan some.
I love Mu's face, and I even wanted to get his head on Ai's body, but his head is bigger, it turns out. I was going to sand those ears way down, though.
I think Ai would look fabulous in deer antlers. My mom's always teasing me about how my Dan is a girl and therefore shouldn't have ram horns, but I think magical-being-ness totally trumps gender.

 

oh... well why didnt i think that? LOL oh well i needed a second body anyways. LOL

 

I wonder if the hooves would fit a sprite or if they would have to be a Dan etc? they are probably too big.

 

There's no way they'd fit a mini. The legs are made for the 60cm bodies, so they'd be way too big for an MSD body. The hooves by themselves, though, might fit with modification.

Aaagh, I want my Ai now! I have big plans for it. I might have to get white skin and dye it red, though, instead of just buying red resin, as it's a project doll that's going to be subjected to a bit of sanding and carving and drilling.

 

Is it possible to buy the normal legs separately? I'm assuming they don't come with the doll.

 

Hobbysue, I know someone got an Ai head on a normal body. I bet you could buy just the legs if you emailed Resinsoul.
Hominivorax, the red is cast in--it's not a coating. So I'm pretty sure you can heavily mod a colored one and it will look fine--though someone told me the dark colors do scratch a bit more easily.

 

Yeah, I know, but I'm thinking that sanding might still lighten the colour more noticeably than sanding lighter colours would do. I also want a more intense red than the brick colour, though I do quite like it, so I figure that dyeing it after I finish the mods would probably be best. I'd hate to pay the extra for coloured resin and then ruin it with sanding.

 

If you sand the darker resins they seem a lot lighter but if you then polish them using a jewellers paste or some nail buffing compound then you can restore the colour. it is the fine scratches in the surface that make it look whiter so if you keep going finer and finer and then use a buffing thing you will get rid of the whiteness.

I had this on a tan doll.

I want my Ai as well....I am the least patient woman on the planet and I am trying not to think about her too much.

I also have to wait to see if I can get some antlers as they are not in sotck either...ugh!

I do keep looking at the website tho' as she is just fab.

Please put up the pics when the girls get home it will be almost like getting my own.

 

Hi Hobbysue. As you're also in Aus, try Ningyotan BJD http://www.ningyotanbjd.com ...run by DOA member Fiathriel http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=197265. The legs are availlable separately and if you check her listing for Ai you can see them there withthe price in $US. I'm considering getting the legs as well. If you're wanting to get in on her current order with the current discounted price she's putting the next one through on the 13th ... I know as I have a blue Ai with white horns on preorder. Great saving on shipping if you buy from her too...I paid just $10 AU for courier for my Song & Mei at the end of last year when they arrived in the country.

 

i posted in the wrong thread before i think..so now i will post here..
im planning to order the new ai. shes so pretty! does anyone happen to know if her body is double-jointed? and her circumferences by any chance? i cant find any info on the resinsoul site also hows the poseability and the seams? are any issues known with resinsoul? i know its a cheaper company so im wondering

 

I have a couple of RS dolls, though not a girl in this size. Poseability isn't bad once you restring (and an RS doll is GOING to need a restringing since they ship them loose). RS dolls do not have seams as they are sanded before they're shipped. The resin isn't quite the quality of some more expensive companies, but is still good quality, though lighter weight than some others.

 

thats..bad. i just got my first bjd and im a newbie so restringing is a no no for me right now..

 

Eh, tightening will work then. I did that with my last boy. You'll be able to just pull the elastic in the head up and tie a new knot.

 

My ais on shipping! Yaaaaaay

 

oh thats great! do you know if ai has a double-jointed body?

 

I don't think she does. I know that the 61 cm and 70cm boy bodies are, and that the 68cm girl body has double jointed knees, but I don't believe that the 58cm girl body does.

 

oh i see..hm..but single-jointed bodies cant do these and these poses or? >_<

could anyone maybe post pictures of an ai or another 58cm resinsoul girl doing difficult poses and showing to what extent they can hold poses and stuff? i read some bad reviews and im kinda worried now and not sure anymore if i really want a resinsoul ai or should better buy a doll-love leon..
