Ringdoll Grown Dolls, thread #9

Yeah it is really nice!

 

Dianxia arrived today!!! He is gorgeous!!!
Now that RD announced manhua versión Hua Cheng, I feel so anxious for my bank account, but he needs to come home with his gege.

 

5akuraD1va, Congrats!! How long you waited him? Because I still waiting mine..

 

Augh he's so pretty!!!!

 

I finished the payment plan in first week of february, so almost 3 months and a half.

 

thanks! I hope mine will be shipped soon , I closed mine at 5 Jan.

 

The new Hua Cheng looks awesome, and when I saw the video where he is sleeveless I really wished Ringdoll could sell those clothes haha because making my own is a hassle. Apart from that, I'm not very interested, because the sculpt and the make-up are not of my taste. the boyish and wild look of the first sculpt fits more the image I have of Hua Hua, so I prefer the reliable wild card guy over the stoic and elegant type, my wallet can rest easy

 

We have a straight on photo of his face!! He’s gorgeous and is really throwing a wrench in my plan to try and keep my original one ahhhh

 

Hua Cheng Comic Version
E-ming costs extra even though it was included with the fullset donghua Hua Cheng

 

Fangxin and his bamboo hat cost more for comic version Xie Lian too :/ His hat was included with the original version

 

I wonder if this time he's metal. He was plastic in the donghua one and doesn't feel very nice, if he was metal it may be worth the extra money? Though I'm not getting him either way

 

I think after all I'm going to hold myself back and not get him. With the combo package he's over $160CAD more tan the donghua one that I own... I'll just have to work on my sewing skills so I can make his manhua outfit maybe!

I also made a side-by-side of the two blank sculpts in case that helps anyone... I actually think that I like the donghua face sculpt better now that I'm seeing them blank!

I was wondering if new Hua Cheng had a different head sculpt.

Roughly how long is RingDoll wait times?

 

RozenMaiden_Girl, interesting question. For me it looks like random now. I ordered XL 2.0 at 22.09.2023 and still waiting. Lan Wangji 2.0 was ordered 28.11.2023 and received him 04.06.2024.

 

Officially for preorders it's up to 180 days, but it can depend on when during the preorder you order and if you're ordering through a dealer, which one. If you place your order really early during the preorder, they sometimes have some in stock that they send out pretty quickly. It also depends on the complexity of the outfit I think. I think Crown Prince Xie Lian has taken longer than anticipated because he's got so much detailing.

 

Why are the comic ver preorders 5/6 months long? Is RD planning only 1 release?

 

Generally that's what they've done for their licensed dolls. They did a very short flash rerelease for the initial version of Xie Lian when they released the first Hua Cheng, but other than that these dolls only get one run and aren't available after that except second hand.

 

Hua Cheng was rereleased too. I thought it went like 2/3 months preorder then a rerelease the year after. But the long preorder period for the comic ver feels like no rereleases.

 

Ah, I ordered through Alice Collections and got full set Jia Xu. I expect to wait 6 months. And that he will get her September or October.

 

Finally I preorder Comic version Hua Cheng, I got the second batch, supposed to be shipped in mid October.
Also Xie Lian comic version will be shipped next week. I am so happy
