Resinsoul and Bobobie Mini Discussion Thread - Part 33

@Koma - your Fei looks so sweet!

@Fairy Milliner - Congrats on your new guy! I have a Jun in purple, but he's a much different shade, lol. He's lighter and the yellowing has changed the tone. I like it, but I also love the more vibrant color of yours. (Which looks more like my purple Song.) I got my Jun a wig for Christmas and naturally, it doesn't want to stay on his head after I put it on the first time. I know I'm going to have to make some careful cuts. That's what I had to do with a Jun that I no longer have. Those ears are beautiful but oh are they a challenge! Did you have to adjust your wig any to get it to stay on or did it just fit on him okay?

 

Wow is that a custom purple or have they changed their default purple? that's such a vivid colour!

 

@purple_monkfish - it's their new default. I like it. Very different from my purple Pixiu - I bought him a horn a while ago and noticed the big change. (Not using the horn now - I may blush it to see whether I can make it match a bit better.)

@pepperonipizza - I was hesitating between sky blue and purple for Jun, but I"m really happy with the purple. The wig will need a bit of careful cutting, and probably a headcap or a bit of velcro. I did get it to fit, but it keeps popping off.
I have a similar problem with my Lu and of course Ariel. I love the variety of ears that RS gives us, but it's really hard to get wigs to stay put.

 

The sky blue is a color I want to get really bad one of these days. I'm thinking Rainbow in sky blue would be so pretty! I'll be getting a wig cap for my Jun as well, and I'll probably have to notch the sides for those ears. I got my new wig to stay on the first time I put it on him, but like yours, it now just keeps popping off! I agree - RS gives us such great ears! Ariel is on my To Get list, I'll just expect more ear problems when I get mine!

And now that I'm thinking about it, can everyone share any sky blue dolls that they have?

 

are all their new colours a lot more vivid? Their older ones definitely have a grey cast to them with the exception of the green which seems to be remarkably consistent.

Have the blues changed too?
I know their dark grey is a lot darker than it was, more a charcoal sort of shade now, or at least a few of the more recent batches seemed to be significantly darker.
but what about their light grey?

I wonder if they have an updated colour chart somewhere. ...

 

It's very hard to tell about the blues, because of the yellowing. My older blue dolls are more aqua than light blue. If I look at older photographs, though, it looks like the light blue is the same as it always was. The newest light blue I have (my RS Lu) is not really very vivid.
I think (again, from photographs) that the sky blue seems less greyish than it used to. This is an old picture of my RS/BBB dolls, I have all the different old colours...



The black RS Dan on the top right is a custom order. I have Bao in sky blue near the top, and on the bottom row are Pi in light blue, Pixiu in the old purple and a human version of Pixiu (on a Bei body) in light blue.

 

I have some recent blue/sky blue comparisons!! From March of this year. They're off topic for this thread, but colors are colors.

I do think the sky blue in your picture is less grey (brighter) than my Bao, who is the only sky blue doll I have.

The light blue doesn't seem to have changed much, but like I said, RS sky blue, white and pink all yellow a lot in my experience, so all I have to go from is old photographs.

This is Loriel (Pi on a Pixiu girl body) when she was new. She might be slighty greyer than your picture, but it isn't that noticeable and might just be a batch difference.



Also OT, but like you said, colors are colors.

 

is that brighter blue sky blue? wow, it's a lot brighter. My only sky blue doll is a very very old Song and she's storm cloud coloured, like seriously this incredible blue grey tone. Not really "sky" unless the sky in question is about to rain on you lol.

I have most of the older colours but I don't have a light grey or regular blue. I wonder if their red is still teracotta coloured, it's a neat colour but it's not really "red".

The newer brighter purple tempts me hehehe.
but I also need a light grey which i'm told MIGHT match soom grey.. maybe... possibly. Or at least be close enough because at this point I don't really care if the match is 100% I just want a dang body for my boy.

 

I'm finalizing my ideas for the custom doll I'd like to order from Resinsoul, and I'm torn between the Li and Rong torsos. Is one easier to find clothes for than the other, in anyone's experience? My thought is that Li's smaller chest may make it easier, but then she may not "fill out" some tops as well, and the Rong chest seems closer to the MiniFee measurements I found (and there are a lot of clothes designed for MiniFees on Etsy that seem like they'd be in the ballpark for Resinsoul MSDs).

ETA: Also, what color does the normal skin yellow to? Does anyone have good pics of a yellowed NS Resinsoul to share? I'm curious to see it to see how my faceup ideas might look once it's yellowed.

 

@StoryTeller42 I don't have a Rong body but I do have the new Lina body and it fits minifee clothing very nicely in the chest. Although it is longer in the legs than minifee legs (I have a moeline body) the overall measurements are very close. I would say the smaller chest is quite small, just judging by the dimensions of my RS minis (I have three Song bodies and the Lina body).

 

@A Wee Tiefling - Thank you for the input! That is helpful.

 

Sorry to double-post, but I'm so stoked--I've ordered my custom doll from Resinsoul! She's a Mei head on a custom hybrid body.

Does anyone know what eye size(s) Mei uses?

 

I think Mei uses 14 mm. I find that for most of my RS dolls the 12 mm eyes have too much gapping.

Congratulations on your new doll!

 

Thank you so much!

 

14mm works well. They do need to be low dome, though, or they will have a bit of gapping at the sides. I like oval flat backs, as they tend to sit a bit closer to the opening than full spheres do, but either can work as long as the iris doesn't protrude too much.
You could probably even get away with some 16mm eyes, she is a big eyed girl.

 

@Lillith Awesome, thank you!

 

DHL is delivering today, and with that came my customized Yao body! I need to get the magnet in place for her eventual tail (it was nicely hollowed out on her back, per my request) but the big thing? MSD PAWS.

They're big, chonky, and she does a good job of standing on them. This is actually a pink body tone, but the head I'll be using and my lighting and floors make it look fleshier.

 

my order for a resinsoul lu head, on a rong body, with lu hands came in! i wasn't certain that it would look good since the rong body is a bit bigger than the usual. but i think it looks great!!






now the fun stuff starts…time to learn how to make wigs and shoes and aaaa everything!
i have an alice collections order on the way for her, but we'll see how long that takes

 

@Cryptid and @JinxedMadness : Those are BOTH amazing customs!!!!!!! Those paws are TOO CUTE! I have needz * _ * And The Lu head looks, IMHO, SOOOO much better on the Rong body! And that color~ Perfect!
