Ringdoll Grown Dolls, thread #10

So at this point I have pretty much decided that I probably need to get this doll. And now I'm stuck in the "soooo is it even possible to order the configuration I would like to have..."

Currently searching the internet for any hint of the angles I am looking for to make a decision about the 07 body. It is surprisingly hard to find anything showing this side angle (beware the doll nudity before clicking link at work https://ueeshop.ly200-cdn.com/u_fil...bb4cae66d.jpg?x-oss-process=image/format,webp) without the arms blocking just how slim he is in relation to the very buff chest. And that is sort of a make or break the deal for me what the sideview of the body looks like (yeah that's right 07 body, your magnificently sculpted abs are not distracting me enough to forget about waist size vs chest size proportion preferences ).

So I've been checking out 06 body again and studied the features just as carefully and made a pros and cons list for both bodies (that came out wrong)...

Also, at this point I am at the stage of "sooo... Could I by any chance pick and choose from both bodies please? Because I probably want that chest and waistline combined with the other body's butt and legs"

Also, also... sort of concerned about the available options if ordering. Apparently the 06 body and 07 75 cm body is available in two neck sizes and of course I want the one not listed on the dolls sales page...

Also, also, also the 07 body is apparently available in a 70 cm version which depending on the outcome of waist vs chest proportions would probably solve the other thing on the "to investigate list" which is "hmmm I'm not sure yet if your head looks a little small compared to your shoulders and neck on the default 75 cm body or not"

With that being said... decisions decisions... Wonder if Ringdoll might be able to help with a sideview photo with no arms blocking if I ask nicely…

 

Would some of the views here help? I believe the 50cm is a scaled-down version of the 07.
I'd recommend not getting the small neck option. That's what's on my 70cm guy and it looks too skinny for the width of his shoulders.

 

Thank you, it does very much look like a smaller version of the same body and there are more angles I have also been looking through all the fullset photos also since Ringdoll lists which body is used for each doll on the website. And I found one or two box openings that gave some answers on the “what do I think of the neck size”. So, I have found a little more information now and I am honestly not so sure what to think. As much as I love full set photos I wish there had been more blank doll photos for the different sculpts.

I did do a comparison of measurements with the 07 (70 cm version) body since I have the 02 body and 03 body, and I have EID guys. And the 02 body is skinny but still have the rather broad shoulders and looks like he’s been to the gym (not to the degree as the newer bodies of course). And the 07 body has a waist that’s almost 3 cm smaller than old skinny 02 but the chest on the other hand is 6,5 cm larger than on 02 (actually larger than on an EID man). So that’s a huge difference and that does concern me a bit (not my intention to come across as if I am bashing the body sculpt, the bodies are beautifully sculpted and this is merely a comment on personal aesthetic preferences).

I just don’t know. I wrote and asked about which options that are realistically available and maybe things will clear themselves out when I get a reply .

Left to right: RGM-06 (78cm), RGM-07 (75cm with 13.2cm neck), RGM-07 (70cm with 11cm neck), RGM-04 (68cm).

 

Thank you so, so much for taking the time to take the photos! : You have just helped me make all the concerns go away I can also see why the 11 cm neck would be a little bit on the skinny side.

Now I shall proceed to make my bank account weep and then after the order is placed, I imagine I will not be able to stop myself from prattle quite a lot about it. There are so many ideas and plans and this is going to be awesome !

 

Yay!

Order placed, looking forward to seeing him in real life around next week sometime... (just joking, done this before and I know there is a more or less significant wait time involved).

So one blank doll in white skin, 07 body (75 cm) and the ram skull mask.

He will be loosely based on a cartoon character of mine. Though the doll will be the considerably more conventionally attractive and handsome alternative version of the character There will be a lot of extreme metal aesthetics going on here since really, this is one of the personal interest topics I have not yet been using too much of for my BJD:s (mayhap a few influences here and there *glances at avatar*).

I think I might actually already have a pair of pants that will fit him (hooray!).

Will need a band shirt... Specific band shirt (here we go, making life difficult again).

And while waiting I suppose I should get working on finding that neat very long black hair for him. Wonder if 8-9 wigs would be appropriate since the head apparently is a 21 cm head... Hmmm...

And eyes... I might have eyes provided the info about 14 mm eyes is accurate

This is going to be so much fun

 

Wanted to share what I call my Horus (Anubis) since I already had an Anubis from Soom. So he became Horus.



Just love him.

 

He is beautiful! Wow!

 

@JAS101 congrats on making your bank account weep!

One interesting side effect from this, I always thought Sun Ce (on the left) was on a 75cm body, and couldn't figure out why he was so much taller than Zhang Jiao on the 75 body. I finally got around to measuring him.

Now I need to do a bunch of faceups.

@Bren, he is stunning! And he does look like Horus,

 

Wouldn’t have been nearly as easy to make the bank account weep if I hadn’t gotten such great help to figure out which direction to go with the doll Then I would probably still be sitting here trying to figure it out by box opening screencaps and creative use of Photoshop

I got a wig and eyes which I hope will fit, and shoes, for him today. I do already have underpants and expect he may be able to lend a sweater and a pair of pants from the 72 cm guys if it turns out the jeans I think will fit end up not actually fitting. Going to be interesting to see if the doll, or the accessories arrive first. Oh and… One day of waiting is already done… Time flies, he will be here any moment now (if by any moment we mean “next 120-180 days or so”)

That’s cool! I also thought the 06 and 07 bodies were both 75 cm so when I saw your reference photo I was surprised to see the difference. I imagine it must have been quite a bit of a surprise when you put both the dolls you expected to be 7 cm next to each other only to find Sun Ce was actually rather a lot taller .

Very nice, what style of face-ups do you have in mind for them if I may ask? And do they have a preference in clothing styles also?

 

I was sure I ordered a 75cm body for Sun Ce, so maybe it was a mistake on Alice's part. Not that I mind, it's a nice body either way. I like Sun Ce's cute friendly expression in his fullset photos, so I might try for something like that.

 

The interesting thing is that when I check Ringdoll's site it very clearly states that the 07 body is a 75 cm body (also available as 70 cm as we already know). But from what i can see it doesn't say anything about that for the 06 body (though considering the measurements it is logical to assume 75 cm). However, the measurements without the head for both bodies only have a 1 cm difference. So, I am very curious where the extra 2 cm came from on your doll

That is a very nice face-up and it suits his face very well I am sure he will be absolutely beautiful when you are done with the face-up. Sorry if I am coming across as interrogating you but will you keep a similar clothing style to the full set or something different?

My Zhang Jiao has already begun to be referred to by character name... this is a good sign. He shall be named Gunnar (for context - the name is commonly associated with elderly men these days even if some still use the name for their children, it’s probably not what people might at first glance expect for the black metal dude and I think that make it work even better ). Have found shoes for him now... though said shoes are located on Taobao so I shall need to figure out how to solve this.

 

Small edit to previous discussion about the 06 body... The total measurement is listed as 78 cm when I look at the page for buying Zhang Jiao, but the total is not listed as clearly on the product page for just the body. Just noticed it as I was taking some notes for future reference

 

Thanks for investigating the 75 vs 78 mystery. Looking at Alice's site, where I got Sun Ce, I see they do have two separate listings for him, the older red fullset at 75cm and the new brown one at 78cm. I got a blank doll, so who knows.

I like Sun Ce's original red fullset, so maybe I'll do something inspired by that. Or maybe armor, since he's so big and imposing. As you can tell, my plans are virtually nonexistent.

I love the name Gunnar! Can't wait to see what you do with him! (Also shoes... argh...)

 

Shoes... the bane of my dolly existence.
