Resinsoul and Bobobie Mini Discussion Thread - Part 33

Paws paws paws!

now I just want to order random feet from resinsoul lol.
Paws, bird feet, anything else they got.

I love fantasy parts.

I still pine for a jointed tail. Maybe one day they'll give us that.

 

PAWS? Omg......I'd love a MSD with paws!!! It looks fantastic! How does one go about requesting custom doll parts and colors?

 

How much are they charging for the upscaled paws? They look so good!

Lu also looks better on the bigger body. The original default body is so short and I didn't notice it until I ordered my Yao body hybrid.

 

In case anyone is curious about the option, I was able to request thigh joints added to the 45cm (originally sold with Tang, I think) boy body for me, at no extra cost, and when the body arrived they were fully functional! The s-hook the body came with was HUGE which made my hybrid not work until I got a replacement hook from the local hardware store, and the stringing was a bit confusing for me since the knot for the arms had to be above the neck apparently (I can try making the elastic shorter and mess around with the tension and stuff, but I was tired) but I am happy with it!

I will say though that the specific body tends to be more inclined to fall into shy or "I don't want to be perceived" poses rather than the ones I really need for the character I'm shelling, but I plan to allow myself the opportunity to mod him quite a bit as needed. I'm hoping to adjust his hip sockets a bit and make his elbows easier to rotate- though of course I will be doing A LOT of research first (and making sure I have proper PPE of course) but anyway he'll take a bit of work but that's just a sign of my dedication to the character

Unfortunately the DollZone head I chose is a bit big for the body after all (I made a thread asking about it a while back then took the plunge on getting the body without waiting to see other people's examples, oops, and I do need to reply there rather than leaving the helpful people hanging, oops-) and I'm hoping the effect will be less noticeable with clothes since the character I'm shelling has a pretty bulky outfit. Maybe changing his wig will help also, someone suggested I get a custom one for the character but I'm not sure what besides a faux fur wig can give him proper anime spikes...

(box opening, I hope it's okay that I'm linking offsite. I still need to take proper pics of him on the body, that will come later when I have more free time and a chance to sew!)

 

Anyone have a Pantone color swatch that you know is close to fairyland ns and/or tan for a resinsoul color match, by chance?

Showing off a nearly complete Polaris; last step will be setting in the magnet and making a tail for her. I'm really pleased with how stable the big paws seem to make her. They actually seem more stable to me than the dragon feet, though with that I wonder if it's a need to restring again plus the additional weight of those resin wings making things harder to balance.

 

My unnamed Dawn got a new outfit and stole a wig

 

That's adorable!

 

@quilleth Thank you! Turns out Volks fits. Not even a sewing pin needed.

 

I love the Dawn sculpt! Your Dawn is so cute, and her outfit looks great!

 

My Rainbow arrived! Look at those big bird feet! I love them! (And the purple wings, of course!)



Not even two days before she shipped out, I added a pair of last minute bird feet for my Rouxi body and I'm very surprised they arrived in the same order. They don't really fit the oversized deer body ankles (yes, I know those aren’t actually the ankles on digitigrade/ungulate legs) very well, but they're still cute. Gosh I love how the feetsies turned out!

 

Oh, she's gorgeous, @slight!

I actually like the bird feet on the oversize ankles.

(I'm still waiting for the shipping notice of my Tears, which should be any day now, I hope.)

 

Oh those bird feet are perfect! I think i can see a random parts order from rs in my future lol.
I keep hoping they do a jointed tail or something because I NEED tails for dolls. Ahem.

I'm loving this new purple too. It's SO vivid!

 

So it turns out that Resinsoul's beautiful purple resin is a 98% match to a purple 3D printing filament I had, so I made my bird girl a bird tail!



It's floppy, so she can even sit with it too! (Also the way the sunlight filters through her wings is lovely~)

Spoiler: Bonus pic from the front

Rainbow is definitely my favorite Resinsoul I own

 

Oooh she looks awesome, and the way the sunlight goes through the wings is gorgeous! I thought they had special blushing on them at first!

 

Hey all,
I really want to order a resinsoul ai body (the hooved sd one) and an mad boy body this year. I wanted to ask here for your experience with the resin match service from them. Do you think the result can be good enough if I send them just official screencaps of the resin colours? I have a light pink from doll chateau and a light tan from dream valley. Or do you think its better to send parts to them?
Thanks a lot!
Also, how long did it take you to receive your orders? Is three months realistic?

 

Screen differences mean you're always going to get some variation, more than if you sent a physical thing like a paint chip or something to match. What you can do is try to find a matching paint swatch and send that if the match HAS to be as close as possible but if you don't mind some difference then screen will do, it just won't be as precise.

I haven't ordered from RS in a while but when I got my custom boy it was a 3-4 month wait, that seems to be standard if ordering direct from them. I'd estimate about 4 months so that if it's sooner it's a pleasant surprise lol.



this was the colour I requested and the actual doll is less green in person.



So if you need a very specific colour rather than a broad sort of ballpark then sending a physical match (either the resin head backs themselves or a paint swatch that matches) is probably gonna get you the better result.

 

Thanks so much!!!

 

In my experience, if you're hoping to match a resin you already have, your best bet is to send them either a piece to match or send them a physical paint swatch that matches the piece you already have. I pulled a swatch with the pantone number of milktea rose from switch's website for them to match, and the body is much darker than the head i have. I've got pictures of it here.
In terms of time, I placed my order directly with them at the end of November, was quoted about 2 months, and it arrived mid-February, so 3-4 months is a safe estimate.

 

Thanks a lot!
