Resinsoul and Bobobie Mini Discussion Thread - Part 33

@Amasticia @purple_monkfish

Here is a video link of the comparison vid I did for the boy bodies.

Unfortunately life has gotten in the way of me enjoying my dolls at the moment. I can tell you the new double joints are very snappy, I haven't had the chance to hot glue suede them yet

 

@purple_monkfish @Kitty Blue
Thank you both! I think the Wu body will work fine for what I'm looking for.

 

Curse my impatient nature. I have an order from another company but that's got production time and then shipping time. Denver Doll Emporium have some ResinSoul dolls in stock and I am super duper tempted

 

Hey guys! My vampire teeth mod Dawn boy with a Ming body and Sui hands just came in. I think the combo is nice! I expected more transparency with the transparent black resin because it looks solid black, but not hung up over it! I can't wait to flesh out his character and find some clothes.

I know the struggle

 

@Geo-Earthling Oh, wow! He looks so cool! Congrats on your new boy!

 

Thank you so much - can't wait to get a faceup on him! Dawn really is a great androgynous sculpt by resinsoul.

 

So I didn't end up getting a Ming for now, but I did order An on a Wu body (along with a couple SD bodies) and they shipped it out in 2 weeks!!! I still don't even have a wig or eyes for him, haha. But I'm looking forward to getting his faceup (and restringing cuz he's super tight) done and get some pics.

 

It really is (most of RS dolls are) I have a Dawn in a custom purple on Ming body with dragon feet instead of hooves!

 

@SaltedPretzel , @Ktelbug22 I have the Rong and Mei bodies. The flat feet fit well in anything made for Minifee A-Line girls. Search Minifee Shoes on Etsy and be careful that the inside dimensions are listed somewhere around 5.5 cm or slightly more. DDE also has shoes and boots that are made for Minifee in their MSD collection. The dimensions between the flat feet for A-Line Minifee and ResinSoul MSD (at least for those 2 bodies) are almost identical. The heeled feet tend to be a tiny bit longer than the Minifee A-line heel feet which actually enables them to fit into more MSD shoes.

Right now my ResinSoul Girls are in Summomo82 flats from Etsy. They fit great and are not very expensive. Be sure you get the ones for Minifee A-Line and not Minifee Moe.

 

Your YT video of the comparisons is what made me put in the order!

 

Hey everyone, long time no see. I finally finished up my Mei, Lilith, today. A while back I bought a Doll Leaves body and hybrided the arms and legs onto her old Resinsoul torso. I had to carve out much larger holes for her legs, but otherwise it works really well! I also kept the RS hands since they had a better range of movement. She needs some new eyes too, but I'm really happy with how she turned out! There's some things about her faceup that I'll probably go back and fix later (thanks MSC for making the eyebrows neon for whatever reason) but she came out looking pretty much exactly how I envisioned!


If there's one thing I love about Resinsoul's sculpts, it's the way the lips curl upwards at the sides! It's very cute...

Also this guy? Cool as hell. Dawn is a sculpt that has really grown on me.

 

Hi! I just ordered resinsoul xun. I've been trying to figure out what size wig to buy her. Some times I see 7-8 listed, and other times I see 6-7 stretchy. Does anyone have any specific suggestions, like, a specific maker or line of wig, or something? Or how do I know if the wig will stretch? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but most wigs I've seen don't really have details listed about stretchiness. I'm nervous about buying something that will not fit, because I have no experience with altering wigs.

 

Okay so back in August I was struck with an idea for a doll and thinking about it was keeping me up at night. So I sent an email to resinsoul to see if a custom doll would be possible. Of course the wonderful people of resinsoul accepted my request and a little over 2 months later, my bat (currently cat) arrived to my home! I was away for about a month so I was only able to open them today. This is a custom Xun with the ears removed, fangs added, eyes modded to be smaller, body modded to be gender neutral/angel body, and with Dawn hands. I sent them a screenshot of a pantone color for the resin color and it came out perfect. This is also my first time with a doll with body blushing and I think it looks so beautiful. This is my second resinsoul doll and I am just always amazed with the quality

Spoiler

Also, I noticed that one of the hands is floppy compared to the other. Has anyone ever have this happen?

 

Amazing! ResinSoul really is the best with taking custom orders, but this one is the most impressive one I've seen yet!

Re: one floppy hand - sounds like an issue with where the knot in the elastic is, a bit too much tension in one arm and not enough in the other, would be my best guess

 

wow I love rs customs, they're always such fun!
re the floppy arm, if you tug the elastic on that side it might even out the tension.

 

@Girrl @purple_monkfish thank you so much for the advice! I have a feeling that's the exact problem so I'm going to try adjusting the elastic as you've suggested

 

I tried a 7-8 heat resistant fiber wig from Leekeworld on my Xun and it fit perfectly but a premium mohair wig in the same size from Leekeworld was pretty loose. A 7-8 wig from For My Doll fit well, too. I tried an unknown name 6-7 inch wig on and despite it being stretchy enough to fit the Minifees I used to own, it was way too small for Xun

 

Oh my.. thank you very much the information! I will check those styles out. I have one wig coming, but it sounds like it'll be hit or miss, so I guess we'll see

 

She arrived today, my resinsoul Xun. She is beautiful and the resin feels great. But she is absolutely terribly strung! Her head is permanently cocked to one side, her legs will not stay straight for her life, there's no way she will stand, she can barely sit or lay flat. I am so dissapointed, I could cry. I know they are "budget" dolls, but I was adamant about going "legit", and this was my christmas/birthday present. Even for "only" $200 I expected her to be...I don't know. Not like this. She's barely useable. Will she loosen up eventually? or will I have definitely to restring? As a complete newbie I am intimidated by the prospect.

 

She'll loosen up, but I would restring her with the thickest elastic you can get through the channels. I think I used 4.5 in the main body and legs of my RS girls and 4mm or 3.5mm in their arms. It works miracles for their posing.
And Congratulations on your new doll!
