Ring Doll Teens

I'm looking forward to seeing more teen spam!!!! Lately, I've been having feelings of doubt about my Amethyst..... maybe a good photo session would help! This weekend, we're doing some family painting in the house, but I will be inspired by the rest of you for the weekend after maybe.

 

After a fruitful day of cleaning, I finally managed to get a photoshoot of my boys in.



From left to right: Petter twins, Spencer, Don, and Shao. I have another Shao, on the v1 body, but he's not in any position to be photographed at the moment. xD

 

Love it!

 

@Akai Okami Wow! Your boys rock! Those are some fine looking young resin men you have there. Thanks for the photo.

 

Nothing like a massage after a stressful day lol

 

I'm planning to buy Crystal when I get the chance! Until then my Misha will haft to wait (He's currently Marth from Fire Emblem).

 

How awesome! Shan is a real sweetheart and he signed both of my Ringdolls in their headcaps!

 

I got my grown twins headcaps signed by him last year. This year Cherry is going to be at Doll AKon with him but unfortunately my granddaughter's graduation is going to prevent me from going.

 

Hello! I was wondering if anyone has owner pics of Andy? Would be a huge help.

 

Still no body for Oscar & it is really upsetting him.

 

Still struggling with finding clothes for Brontë, but did find this cute outfit at the PNW BJD Expo last weekend!

 

Her reaction seems appropriate for her current seating arrangement. She looks good in the clothes.

 

Hi all! I have a Julia (Josephine), but I have trouble choosing her to do things with, since she's so proportionally different from my other 1/3 dolls. It's a shame; she's really lovely and I can't think what might solve that issue for me (short of like... getting more Ringdolls to match, which has a certain appeal). Did anyone else here have trouble bonding with their Ringdolls? I tend to keep poor Josephine off apart from the rest of my doll family to avoid the contrast ;-;

 

No. But my ringdoll teen Misha, was actually the very first BJD I ordered (though literally fourth I got in my hands because it took 8 months to get him) so I researched and planned what his companions would be, so it's worked out well.

But I understand your predicament with another little doll I have who is a tiny 19cm, she just doesn't fit with anyone. I'm afraid I will need to sell her because I have boxed her away, and that's not fair.

 

I don't have a problem with my Mona...I love her. More than her non-crying head, so much that I'm thinking of getting another RDT head to replace it with (it's a non-Ringdoll head). It would be her fifth shell! XDD omgwhy

 

Smart of you I hadn't quite realized how different proportions could be even with dolls that are technically the same scale. The proportions are one of my favorite things about Josephine, and yet also my main tripping point. She's so pretty, and beautifully delicate, and... too delicate ><

 

You know, what you could do is divide your collection up. I have my SD dolls and I have my MSD dolls and both are different proportions and so they different stories and sit with each other. You could find other dolls close to your doll's proportions and set up their own world. That's an option If she works for you aesthetically than that could work.

 

Does anyone understand Aya? I guess on her body she's a Grown, but her head is just Teen? So if I had her on a different body would I post her here or the Grown thread??

 

@Cennie Yes, I feel like I haven't bonded with my Ringdoll boy as much as the others because of how big and round his head is in comparison. I still like him a lot, and want to keep him for now. It might be also that he has a default faceup that's stylized. I don't do stylized faceups well yet. I prefer to do faceups with more naturalism. The Amythest sculpt would not look right to me with a natural faceup style.

 

That makes a lot of sense. Amethyst is so adorable! but you're right, he'd probably look odd too realistic, and I can see how that would be frustrating from an artistic perspective, if you've had trouble customizing him.
