Ringdoll Grown Dolls, thread #9

Ringdoll's normal skin is a pale pink tone.

 

Thank you @nancy_schroeder_ca It was really difficult to tell in the photos I found online.

 

I don't know about the wheat skin, but the normal colored dolls i have I would say lean a bit more yellow, since they're very close in color to my Loongsoul doll in normal yellow. I have seen some people saying that Ringdoll normal leans more pink though, so it may be that there's not a lot of consistency in their dye lots.

 

All of my normal skin Ringdolls are on the pink side. I have two in wheat and they are kind of a very pale tan with rosy undertones. However, when wheat first came out the sample looked like a normal yellow to me. If you are interested in an in stock doll you could ask them to send you a picture. They have always been very nice when I've had questions.

 

Shockingly, I don't own any dolls that have pink undertones (I'm at 86 full dolls). I'm trying to decide on a doll and Responsible Adult is speaking logically and saying don't buy. However, Dolly Hoarder that I am, says DO IT!!! and I think that side may be winning. The idea that's percolating for the character is hedging towards the lighter normal although I really like coloured resin.

 

So Dolly Hoarder won and I've purchased Ksitigarbha-The Virgo from the in-stock Black Friday sale RD was doing. I had to email them to ask for a different shipping method than was listed (EMS/DHL) as Canada Post is currently on strike and are not accepting ANY mail (from within Canada or internationally) and I know from past experience that both those services will hand off the packages to Canada Post once they clear Customs (they have a service contract with Canada Post). Shipping hurt as not only was FedEx more expensive, the Canadian dollar sucks on exchange rate with the US$. But! he's already shipped out and I'll hopefully see him within the next 10 days-2 weeks. Fingers crossed for me that FedEx doesn't hit me too hard with their BS fees for "handling" Customs paperwork.

 

I finally got around to putting the jointed hands I ordered on my Hawkley.

 

My new boy has arrived! Apparently his flight was rocket powered because he came so fast and FedEx was actually reasonable (and much less than I anticipated) on the fees. RD was even awesome enough to physically put a huge note on the box that FedEx was to deliver directly to my house and NOT hand off to Canada Post (they're still on strike and not accepting any mail/packages or delivering anything) to ensure that I'd get him and not have him sit in a warehouse facility until whenever the strike is over.

He's utterly gorgeous. I wasn't expecting his eyes to be so closed (to be fair, he is the sleeping head). I haven't put eyes in his head yet but it honestly doesn't really matter because they are so closed (but not sealed) you can't even tell. I will be putting some in hopefully today but I'm unsure if I'll make the effort to make him eyes since you can't see them anyway. Still trying to figure out his name and where exactly he fits into my Worlds. He also claimed a wig I didn't think would get used (it didn't fit the doll it was originally for and he hated the colourway for himself). I had thought he'd be the excuse I needed to buy a particular wig (an 8/9) but he's got a 7.75" head so that's a nope (my wallet is happy about that).

He is def pink/peachy toned but not obnoxiously so. It's delicate like a gentle flush to the skin. I'm not sure of his actual date of production (original release in 2019 or something more recent?) so if there is some inconsistency in their batches, I can't speak on if this is the current look. His colour is very close to, but slightly paler, than Luts peach from 2023 (in natural light).

 

Iron_Dog, congrats! Yep, same with the wig, I was very surprised + mine have mod on elf ears and now its a bit more complicated with the wig.

 

@Riku LIN yeah, I wasn't expecting his head to be that size. He looks perfectly proportional but I hadn't clued into that at all from their website. I feel your pain on ears getting in the way of wigs. I have an RS Jun and while his ears are super cool, they're positioned in such a way that most ready-made wigs will not fit on him.

 

Iron_Dog, Hope you will show your boy^^

 

I wanted to do it today but the weather was horrible; with the sky so overcast that I had to turn on lights at like 3pm (sunset is at 4:37pm where I live, so...). When you factor in the terrible lighting in my apartment in general, it was a no-go for anything even close to decent photos.

 

yep, same here, + at my bjd room very dark

 

I did choose eyes for him but in order to see them, I had to shine a super bright flashlight right into his eyes and even then, you can barely see them. I know they're there so it's all good. And focusing on his face for like 1.5 hours made me really appreciate the gorgeous job the RD face-up artist did.

 

Looks like Ringdoll has their doll lucky bags back in stock. I bought a gown one. Is anyone else buying one?

 

@Zacarias - Hawkley!! Now he's a really handsome guy. You don't see him around too often at all. I love the look of those jointed hands, are they Ringdoll too?

@Iron_Dog - Ooh congratulations! I'd love to see some photos of him if you have the time (and light!)

 

The weather has been very... winter in my area with generally terrible lighting. I haven't taken any proper pics yet but it's on my list.

 

Fair enough! The light will return again for photos at some point.

 

Lol, we actually had some sun yesterday for a few hours in the afternoon. But Sunday is the day I play Pathfinder with my group so that was a no-go. Today is again dark and dreary and forecasted to rain again (but at least it's not snow!).

 

@Quiet and Insane: Yes, the jointed hands are by ringdoll.
