Resinsoul and Bobobie Mini Discussion Thread - Part 33

I was JUST looking at my Sui dragon wings and wondering if Resinsoul would ever make feathered wings. The jointing on Rainbow's wings is so clever!

I'm also very curious if the Pi feet could be scaled up to fit her...

 

I have a MIGHTY need for her!! I love her gorgeous face and ears especially. Maybe with my tax refund next year...


She'd be so cute in grey.

 

I'm waiting for my Jun to arrive, but she's going on my new wish list... I love her face. (She sort of reminds me of Kate Winslet just a little - probably the mouth...)

I had decided on no more dolls for 2025 - Resinsoul is making my life difficult!!!

 

where do y'all get your shoes from?? most shoe sizes i see for 1/4 dolls have an inner length of 6.5, but resinsouls have such small feet so they look goofy when they're that big

 

Look for shoes marketed to slim minis, rather than standard MSD. Shoes made to fit minifee, JID or similar. And compare measurements, of course. Beyond that it's always a little bit of a lottery.

 

The clear resin is so cool!

 

I get mine on Etsy. Many creators will tell you what the inside measurement is. My girls have very nice shoes made by a Spanish seller. They're made for Minifee, and are about 5.3 cm inside. They're a bit of a tight fit when I use socks or pantyhose, but they're really pretty.

 

ali express has some sellers who sell 5.5cm shoes. I think they're often listed as for Paola Reina amigas or Tilda or similar (just make sure you check the measurements in the listing). I've also found Glitter Girls shoes will fit, but they're plastic and quite childish.
Teen Trends (old Mattel doll line) also fit for the most part. Again plastic but they're a bit less kiddish. The clothes also will often fit, I love the jeans/pants on my resinsouls and other slim minis, they fit nice on the hips heh.

 

I did it! I managed to dress all my dolls this year. Rosemary was the last.



I'm not sure about the top. It looks cute, but it's very fragile. And a bit wide.

 

I am very tempted by Rainbow, I love the downturned ears and the face. Those wings are also damned impressive.

 

She's cute!!

 

I asked Sun if they could resize Pi’s feet to fit 1/4 size bodies, and Sun said they could do that.

So I just placed an order for a dark tan Rainbow with purple wings and birdy Pi feet

 

@slight I'm so interested to see your Rainbird doll. Is she a harpy?

Doll tax of my new girlie. Thinking her name will be astronomy related. Nebula? Kuiper?

 

I'm excited to see how she turns out! I don't know if she's a harpy, I just wanted a birdy companion to go along with my incoming Dream Valley bird boy. I guess I'm starting a flock.

 

resized pi feet! YES YES YES!

I really cannot wait to see those and the paws.

 

Will have the paws to photograph soon, I hope. I was told about a month, and that was back on 11/20, so I've been watching the days tick down. I'm delighted to see other people starting to order resized specialty parts. More encouragement for RS to keep diving into easily available fantasy doll parts.

 

Hi all! I'm new here and I'm becoming more and more intrigued by the idea of getting a custom Resinsoul doll--specifically, I'm thinking of getting a Mei head with Rong's torso and Lina's arms and legs.
I'm also trying to decide if I should order a custom faceup, or try to DIY-it.

So I have some questions:
- How do you place a custom order with Resinsoul? I believe I've read that you email them, but which email address? Is there a specific format that they prefer, or do I basically just tell them the above info (plus resin color)?
- How does payment work with a custom order? Do they take PayPal?
- How do custom faceups work with Resinsoul? I know they don't charge a lot for them, so do they have to be pretty basic/general, or could I send them a detailed image/description of what I'd like? How easy are their faceups to remove if I decide I want to DIY one later?
- What's a rough ballpark cost estimate for how much I should expect to pay for a custom doll (with or without faceup)? I'm guessing the more dramatic customs I've seen cost more than just basic body-part swapping, but I'm not sure what to expect.

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

To answer your questions:
1) They have their email on their website. I emailed the admin at resinsoul.com address on the bottom of the page and that worked out fine. I don't know if they have a preferred format, but I sent them a description of what I was looking for plus reference images with things I liked and was hoping they could customize circled. This might have been overkill, but it didn't seem to hurt. I did go back and forth a little bit to work out the customizations I was looking for, but again, didn't use a specific format beyond a typical sort of "hello I hope you're well. I'd like to ask about ordering x" and I included a second set of pictures to reference then too.
2) They accept Paypal, and will send you the total after you've agreed to everything. They will include the paypal email address in the email they send with the total. You will need to send it through Paypal manually; at least I did since they didn't send an invoice. I included a note in mine stating what the payment was for, and emailed them to let them know I had sent that. After I sent that email, they replied to let me know their estimated turn around time.
3) I can't answer to this since I didn't do it, but for any faceup commissions, it's generally helpful for the artist to have visual references for what you'd like.
4) They'll let you know if what you'd like is possible, and break down the cost per modification or extra you asked for. To estimate, I'd suggest looking at the doll and bodies you're interested in, account for which one costs more, and possibly add $20-$30 for the modifications you'd like. Customizing their 1/3 body for example was an additional $30 charge for me, and requesting a custom color was also an additional $30.

 

Awesome, thank you so much for the info!

 

Tears (special version of Rainbow) is so cool and her face up is gorgeous
