Resinsoul and Bobobie Mini Discussion Thread - Part 33

@EagleVision1999 Ah that’s a good point! I’m unfamiliar with their other larger MSD female body (I think there’s another, anyways?), so I wasn’t sure about whether it would be worth trying to acquire it. I did try her on Mei’s body and her head is a bit too big to look okay on that. I did consider hybriding her onto something else, but I didn’t feel like it was worth it at the time. I’ll consider it with the new girl (and honestly with Xun, too, I’ve been kinda missing her).

 

Has anyone got an Emily? I would love to see owner photos.

 

I'm so excited! I've got a Yao on way from DDE! In stock in light tan with jointed hands! I've always wanted a Yao but I just never took the plunge until the other day. I'm so excited to get those hooves~

 

I am all about the new dragon girl! She will go so well with my Zhen but I was thinking about getting the new head on a different body. I love the look of the dragon body but it doesn’t pose very well.

 

@Reslie I'm following this for an Emily too. I have an idea about her faceup I'd like to try, but I don't like the body she's on.

 

I want an MSD woman with bird/dragon legs and feet like those that Soom's original Zedo came with. And fantasy ears. And horns.
So I've been dreaming of an a custom red MSD from ResinsouI with Zhen's feet and hands, the Shi human body and Yao's head and horns.

But the lower joints on the dragon legs don't look like they bend in a way that is useful in posing, and I like that Zedo's have an extra toe/claw in the back. Is it possible to order a custom doll that has the feet and lower calves made differently?

 

Can anyone tell me what size eyes Xun wears? I am tempted to get one.

 

Does anyone know if there's any way to give the head of my resinsoul xun more mobility? I didn't notice how little it had until I got another doll with more head movement (myou vieruodis)

 

14-16mm I believe. I tend to put 14s into my resinsouls as I think it makes them look a little more mature.

Hot glue on the neck perhaps? Does she do the thing where the head refuses to hold a pose and snaps around? Mine do that, it's irritating.

 

Oh thank you, I will try that. For some reason it didn't occur to me to do the neck when I did the legs.

 

I traded for a Resinsoul Ya & she arrived yesterday! Not super happy with her resin color, as I didn’t realize how gray-ish their light tan is. Was Resinsoul’s light tan always this shade? I had a light tan Mei years ago and I could have sworn it was more natural looking back then, but it’s been so long I’m not sure.

Aside from that, she’s very adorable! Her outfit matches my pink office & lighting

Also her previous owner sueded her really well and it's so nice! I've never owned a doll with sueding that was intact before!

She's cute, @keiko-chan !

My old tan Ju (around 8 years) is definitely a nicer tan than my Mei's. (1 year) Not sure if mellowing made a difference, but it's not terrible.

 

Thank you! I do wonder how she's going to mellow over time; that might help it out a bit.

 

RS's more recent colours are definitely more on the grey side than some of their older ones but I wonder if that's a mellowing issue. As the yellowing starts to happen it should warm the colours up a bit?

I have an old dark tan who's significantly darker than the current ashy brown but I can't be sure how much is just different resin batche and how much is age.

 

My girl from almost two years ago. was slightly grayish. Monkfish is correct- she’ll warm up as she ages. Mine has mellowed out into a lovely tan

Spoiler: Resin color

 

@Azure Agape Oh her resin color is gorgeous! That’s really good to know. Other than the somewhat ashy shade, I’m low key obsessed with my new girl, so I’m very happy to hear that the color should mellow into a nicer one in time!

 

I had a gorgeous tan Mei back in the day 10 years ago, but I couldn't bond with her at the time and I wanted her to go to a better home... Lately I've been wanting to try one of the newer sculpts, but with the pandemic I thought I'd have to wait quite a while before I'd get to see a modern one in person.

But it turns out my roomies ordered *two* Zhens from DDE, and it's not even my dolls but I'm SO EXCITED to see them. We've been trying to find more info about the way they're strung, since pics and descriptions of the dragon body are kinda scarce. Are the wings strung like a second pair of arms, or are they magnetic? I assume the tail is magnetic, right? The girls should be here Thursday but we were kinda hoping to have an idea for what sort of No Naked Dolls strategy we should be planning around, lol. Thanks guys!

 

@LikablePlatypus are the wings on your Zhen strung like a second pair of arms, or magnetic to her back? Trying to plan outfits for incoming girls, lol, tysm

 

@Mamo
They are magnet with a single joint in the wing it’s self that has the string glued into it. The wings are beautiful when she’s on a stand but when I take photos I tend to have them just sitting behind her instead of them being attached since there’s not much movement.

Edit: You can find all my photos of my Zhen (Tesni) on Deviantart - Likableplatypus
