Ringdoll Grown Dolls, thread #10

While I don't have a dedicated craft space, I can and do leave on-the-go projects sitting on my kitchen table for days or even weeks at a time. The end table on one side of the couch frequently has my sewing project(s) on it and fabric that's been ironed and is awaiting cutting usually is draped over one of the kitchen chairs and sometimes the back of the couch if it's a really large piece.

I had some pattern pieces that I was using on the floor by the kitchen table (I cut my fabric on the floor as the table is often occupied by other things and feels awkward to cut on). I had to move them after a day or so only because my cat kept lying on them. He wasn't disturbing/wrecking them in any way but the dirty looks I got when I moved him off the papers and the sheer volume of cat hair were too much for me to comfortably deal with on a constant basis.

 

Yeah I'm still in the position of living at home, but I look forward to the future when I'll have my own dedicated space!

 

Congratulations. He is going to be amazing. The newer bodies are so much larger and heavier than the old ones. I only had RGM1 bodies on my older RD boys and was surprised by how solid the RGM5 body is.

Baldwin made it home yesterday and after dressing another big guy my muscles are feeling it. I needed an extra pair of hands to hold him when I changed his hands and even to pull the hook up for his head. When the armor is on I can't fit my finger through the 0 ring so I needed pliers to grab it. He is now dressed, but I have no idea where he will fit. I am going to pull all my bjds out and try to rearrange to fit him in a cabinet. I need him safe as my new rescue husky thinks they would make good chew toys!

 

OMG love baldwin, if i was around when he was avail i wouldve gotten his 1/3 size, but i did end up getting his 1/4 size!! My first mature MSD so itll be fun. Back to big Frankenstein tho- oh man am I scared about his size lollll but also he is gonna be BEAUTIFUL!!!!. What stand do you use for such big and heavy dolls like this? I dont own any and would like to be prepared for when he comes!

 

omg i just ordered the same thing (1/4 anubis) after looking at it on the site every day for a month although i wish i could afford the original size one. i couldn't find any unboxings for this specific one so if you could take some pics or anything when he arrives please tag me

 

Forgot to share The Queen here...but look...His Royal Sapphireness! So shiny! So spidery! So very heavy! (he does have his tail inserted but it's difficult to get the stand on with the tail in.)
This is a pants-optional doll because nothing will fit them thighs. Only massive poet's blouses seem to fit them shoulders. A hybrid success but damn tricky.

 

@A Wee Tiefling So glamourous! Pink and black always look good together
Is he on the 70cm or 75cm Alpha body? I'm trying to work out exactly how giant my 70cm Alpha body is going to be when it gets home

 

@castironteapot I believe the 70cm body but...he is taller, even without the heels he towered over my 72cm Impldoll. He's towering over my DF-H 75cm doll as I type though I put that down to heel feet.

 

@A Wee Tiefling Oh boy...glad I ordered the 70 and not the 75. Thanks for the info!

 

@A Wee Tiefling Did they maybe send you a 75cm by accident?

 

As someone working full time, studying part-time and co-habitating with pets and another adult, life just gets in the way of fun! I have to make time for even my tiny creative tasks like embroidering a patch or doodling in my planner so I can feed my creative spirit. But I also just muscled my way through two faceups on the one day this summer that didn't have terrible weather. I'm unskilled at facing up, but with cheaper heads or characters I want to bond with, it's better if I do it myself even if the results aren't what I envisioned. If you have the spoons to start facing up, it is worthwhile.

 

they can, once they sent me a doll in wrong color, I ordered white and received normal.

 

Nah, he's not spectacularly tall, but between the heel feet and the fact that he needs a larger head to fit on his neck, he's definitely a soft 70cm. More like a 73-ish if the circumference of the head is larger.

 

I know "70cm" can be a bit of a dubious size category – my Granado Fortis 70cm, which I just received, is 68cm without a head.
Alice's Collections also lists the 70cm Alpha body as "72cm with head" and the 75cm as "76cm with head"

 

I'm loving how glam he is! I was worried the chrome plating would detract from the more sensual materials he wears but nah, it coordinates beautifully!
Word of warning! It also chips so easily at the joints, especially the knuckles in the tail. I kinda effed the tail a bit because it is not strung, it's wired. So if you break or expose the wire, you're effed.

 

Yikes! I'm regretfully glad that I don't have the funds for him then as I have two 72cm boys and they're by far the largest I want to go for doll size. Now if they offered him in 50-ish cm like they did with Anubis and Baldwin, I'd likely be really screwed.

They also posted to their Insta recently with an utterly gorgeous deep, dark, translucent blue and asked if anyone would be interested in the colour. Uhhh, yes, please.

 

Thats true, i have a doll i got for 150 that already has a stained face so i think Id like to practice with him! Today I was able to write down some film pitches to pitch to some people for a film so I feel ive been creatively productive, but I still wanna try and do doll stuff!

 

Wow, SO GORGEOUS! I am so happy for you!!! I ordered Bast too on layaway and almost finished paying, so; I can't wait to see this beautiful doll in person too! Thank you so much for sharing a pic of him!
