Resinsoul and Bobobie Mini Discussion Thread - Part 33

My Daytime has arrived! I’ve named him Eleutherius. I’ll edit to add pictures to this post shortly.


Edit: he’s pretty sturdy, which is great considering he came too tightly strung. So I’ll probably replace his string and do some sueding/wiring if needed, and then he’ll stand and pose like a dream, I can just tell. Still working on pics, I’ll edit again when I can post them.
Edit 2: pics!

Spoiler: Large pics below

 

Try shock cord, I got some for my An and it's really nice.

I'm loving all the pictures of the new arrivals, can't wait for mine. Depending on how accurate the wait time is, he could be done around valentine's day.

 

I love seeing all these gorgeous new boys. Those hands are nice too. Are they the same as the dragon boy's or are they a new one?

 

@Neela - oh, I love the color scheme you chose! He is gorgeous!

 

I just asked for their standard purple! It's a really nice shade.

I should probably take advantage of the higher temperatures this week to do some airbrushing on my boy, but we're also having sporadic showers, so I don't know. Just want to do some basic blending between the parts and a little ombre on the horns. I've only used the airbrush once before, so it will be an EXPERIENCE probably.

 

they must have recently changed up their colours then. Their blue is definitely more blue, their purple more purple and less greyish and their dark tan is a much richer less ashy brown.
it's been a couple of years since I ordered a resinsoul and now i'm really curious how the new colour mixes compare because i'm certain my purple boy isn't that purple.

I'm feeling the itch for more resinsouls lol. But I don't have the money right now. I must be good!

 

The sculpting on the centaur and Shi bodies is also beautiful and surprisingly detailed.
The new Shi body has a pear bottom, and there's light abdominal sculpting. Daytime's arms and hands are nicely detailed.
Resinsoul is coming for the other companies' lunch money, is what I'm saying.

 

I think they’re the same, and I adore them. I’ll see if I can get some pics of the detail, they’re so delicate for being to intimidating-looking. They’ve definitely updated their colors within the last few years or so, as well! You’re right, they’re much more rich and vibrant.

Thank you! I also have plans for a female Yao centaur in grey tones. The contrast of warm and cool colors will be nice between the two centaurs, I think. I also have some more ambitious custom doll ideas I’ll be going to Resinsoul for, as well. I have to work on completing the dolls I already have first, though. Daytime was definitely an unplanned impulse purchase but I’d be lying if I said I regret it.

 

Hello, lurker here. I'm tossing around the idea of a Yan body hybrid (white minifee head, white Yan body). Does anyone happen to have Yan photos or know how she poses? And is she the same body as Zhen or did they change anything?

 

I think it’s the same body, but I’m not 100% sure. Chances are good that they are, they were released around the same time I believe. I do know that there’s a 0.5cm difference in the neck between the two dolls, but if you go to Resinsoul directly they’ll probably be able to make a 6.5cm neck to match the Minifee dimensions? Or else you might have to do some modding yourself (like if you get the body second-hand). You may have more modding experience than me (in which case disregard) but from my own limited hybriding experience, 0.5cm doesn’t seem like much until you consider the scale of the doll. Luckily Resinsoul has affordable pricing, so you don’t have to go down the modding route unless you want to.

 

Thank you! I did see there was a bit of a difference but wasn’t sure if it was real or measurement error. I’ll read up a bit more on head sizes. With the keys, I forgot that might be a problem. First time hybridder here.

No modding experience here, but sanding doesn’t sound too bad. I’ve got the head and a RS resin sample on the way to see if this idea will even work.

 

Sanding would be the best route if you can’t swing a custom order from RS (though I would still reach out to [email protected] for a quote, they may be able to do custom color-matching as well and their custom orders can be pretty affordable, considering. For instance, my last Resinsoul had custom elements and the shipping was more expensive than the customization). Luckily, if you do choose to mod, there’s lots of helpful threads here on DOA! Either way, I wish you the best!

 

Little Mocha Bean by ManabuLi010, on Flickr

Just wanted to share my adorable little mocha bean He's currently nameless, and unfortunately RS forgot to put magnets inside of the head for one of the horns. But I'm not going to ask them to send me just one single magnet. Instead I'll tell them about the missing magnet the day I do my Ming order.

They also misunderstood me and did not make him with the same color on the tail and hooves as in the official images. But after seeing him like this, I'm actually glad I got him this way, I think I much more prefer him this way I'm also thinking that I could always get his tail and hooves spiced up with some airbrushing later if I decide to.

I don't really know what to name him, but he really is as beautiful irl as in the pictures I'm so happy I got him I know he'll be a new beginning for me when it comes to RS dolls. Currently I only got him and Flame. But I have owned a few RS sculpts in the past.

His body seem to be a bit taller than my Luts MSD centaur. He have more like slender elegant Bambi legs, he look really amazing!

He does not stand as well on his own as my Luts centaur does, so I put putty under his hooves to keep his legs in place on the table. I would suggest a bit of hotglue sueding to stable these ones, although I have not gotten to that part yet myself.

Depending on your screen, the centaur body may seem different in color. On my TV screen it seems almost black, but irl it is very dark brown.

 

Oh, wow, he look amazing Congrats

I got mine too, yesterday. Just posted him as well Unfortunately mine only came with one magnet inside of the headcap, so mine is not wearing any horns right now.

Congrats on your new boy The color combination you choose for him is really cool too.

RS unfortunately misunderstood me so mine did not come with the same color on the tail and hooves as in the official images. But it's fine, I don't really care! I think I actually much more prefer him just the way I got him

And your dawn is really pretty too

 

@manabusama thanks, your Daytime is lovely! Technically they got my colors wrong too, his horns were supposed to be darker like his hooves. However, like you I’m still pretty pleased and I agree, there can always be airbrushing or blushing to darken it at a later date.

 

Thank you They probably been super busy with all the orders, and people asking to get custom colors, and I guess miscommunication can happen when English is not their native language. But it's a good thing our dolls look awesome even if the color got wrong. Imagine the possibility you now got with the blushing, airbrushing. Since the color is lighter, not dark like my horns, you probably have more freedom when it comes to color picking

 

Thanks, of course no problem

In the past anyways we were not alowed to post multiple pictures in the discussion threads if I remember it correctly so I leave a link for the second image. 2

Yes, RS did the blushing. I don't think I asked for it, but it were a nice surprize that they did I did order with body clushing, but they probably looked at him and felt that with the darker centaur body it needs a bit of blushing on the torso as well!

I do wish I could put on his horns, but he got to wait, and in the future I'll order some other hair styles to try on him. This wig he wears now were the only one I had that fit his colors. I'd love to try something curly and darker, and a bit longer.

 

He's gorgeous. I love the colours. Was the dark brown/black a custom request?
