Resinsoul and Bobobie Mini Discussion Thread - Part 33

I like that dark version of Wukong ... Enlightenment.

 

OK Thread, I'm delurking to ask for some help with RS bodies! I'm looking for a 40-45 cm RS body for an incoming head. I like the curves of the Rong body but I think it will have some of the typical RS posing problems. I'm wondering if someone has both the Rong (or Li) body and the newer girl bodies ( Shi or Ran) to compare it to so I can evaluate the poseability and ease of accessorizing for all the bodies.

 

So I used to own a Li body, and I now own a Ran body, so while I can't provide pictures, I can say that the torso of the Ran body is less wide than the Li torso, with a bigger chest. It's made me consider whether I should try out Minifee tops on her, since a lot of the slim girl tops I have are still a bit too wide on her and wind up fitting a bit baggier than I'd like. Minifee shorts still fit her, but since she's a little taller, I don't know if minifee pants would fit length-wise, and I don't have any minifee leggings currently to try on mine. That said, she fits well in slim MSD pants regardless of if they are minifee-fitted or not. Shoes are the exact same; I haven't had to get new shoes for mine.

One thing I will say in terms of poseability, is that it can be somewhat difficult to stand the Ran body because of the jointed thighs. If the joint is not sitting right she doesn't want to stand straight, but once you get a handle on where they need to be sitting on the body, she stands fine, even without sueding or wiring! I personally want to wire mine for some extra support just in case, though. Also, her arm joints are wonderful. She can do so much more than my Li girl could do; she can touch her face or put her hand behind her ear a lot easier, and this makes putting her clothes on easier, too.

 

By any chance does anyone have Ran yet? I'm so curious to see owner photos, especially if anyone has her with her default face-up!

 

Hello all! I just wanted to share that I swapped the hands on my Shi body to the Rong hands and I think they suit the body better! What do you think?

 

@nikopiko That's tricky to asses, because I like those long elegant hands and think they look nicely sculpted. But I know longer hands can be weird to fit into shirts and so on. What's the poseability on the wrist like? And the character?

 

I really like the rong hands. I actually have a boy doll with Li's arms and hands and he looks lovely with these beautiful slender hands heh.
I enjoy the hand variation Resinsoul offers us.

 

Custom RS bit I received yesterday and wanted to show as an example: upsized Nian horn!

I asked about having it fit to a 1/4 head, they asked about the length and color, and bam, nicely cast, translucent horn I'm looking forward to seeing on her head when it arrives. Also came predrilled with a hole in the base and a set of magnets for attachment.

Even though I just received my package yesterday, already thinking ahead to another body order for a head from a Taobao maker I'm getting. Head itself will be in a NS shade, but I'm thinking I may paint markings to help it blend with a more colorful body. Debating between that Flame-specific pink they did or a minty pale aqua.

 

That's just amazing. Resinsoul is truly an amazing company.

 

I'm finally getting around to my mini-size dolls, but instead of getting clothing and/or wigs for the ones I have, I ended up ordering a Jun.
I really love all the new dolls they're putting out, but there are some oldies that have been haunting my "wannabuy" muscle for a decade now - and Jun is one of them. Just love those ears.
I ordered him in purple, because I don't have any dolls in the newer purple yet...

I do have some clothes knocking around for Valerian and Tarragon (RS Wu and FF/RS Iruhi respectively), so I may actually have some spam soon...

 

Please, post spam of Iruhi! I was thinking about that sculpt a few weeks ago and kick myself for not ordering before FF shut down. It's too bad more people don't have one to show.

 

Here's a (bad) picture I took a few days ago... I'm trying to get all my 40/45 cm dolls dressed. This is Tarragon, Valerian and Columbine - three of my four musicians.



The fourth is Rosemary, who is a Li, but she doesn't really have the right clothes yet...

 

I love their outfits!

 

@Fairy Milliner - their clothes look fantastic!

 

Thank you both! I found the boys' clothes here on the MP a few months ago - I think they were both Dollheart outfits - I'm bad about keeping packaging and about keeping notes, unfortunately...
I love the steampunk-y vibe they have now. I'm looking for something similar for Rosemary.

I'm currently obsessing over my MSD-sized dolls. They're in a separate cabinet, and if one falls over there's a whole domino effect... Poor Columbine lost a finger earlier this year. Fortunately it was no problem ordering new hands for her. I love Resinsoul, they're just the best when it comes to customer service. And she now has jointed hands, too.

Anyway, I'm now getting them all stands so there's no more falling over. (The dragons are especially bad at balancing, and I'm terrified of them breaking a wing or something. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Sun were willing to sell me a new set of wings!)

And anyway, to make up for the waffling - here's some Rhiannon-spam. She got a new dress in the mail today, and I love it! (It was made by LaPetiteEgriene on Etsy.)

 

Question on Resinsoul colors, based on reading old comments: how badly does the pink age? I’m concerned about it ending up looking like normal skin as it yellows and the red pigment ages.

 

My Zhen is faded to NS almost (slightly pinkish still), but I bought Yan horns for her last year, and they're significantly more pink than she originally would have been (compared to the inside of her headcap and her joints).
I think both the pink and the purple changed in recent years.

Edit: here's the most recent picture of Ixora - my pink Zhen.



My dolls are in a glass cabinet, so not really protected from light.

 

It's been over a month since my custom order, I'm hoping I get one of those "surprise" notifications that it's delivering soon. I can't wait.

 

I have a question that maybe one of you who owns a RS Sui can answer - about how big is his ankle/ankle joint in circumference? Totally not wondering if I could frankenstein it on another doll in theory...

 

It's about 6.5cm/6.4cm depending on outer ankle joint or the ball part which has a slight recess.
