Serendipity Mini including Sharmin discussion thread

Thank you for the response! It makes me more confident about Serendipity's quality.

 

According to an email I recieved from Serendipity, the 7-yr bodies were made to be about the same proportions as an MSD, while the 14-yr mini bodies were meant to be about the size of the more slender Unoa-types.

 

I had the old type body and IMO he couldn't pose for crap although the sculpt and the resin were beautiful. I did see and hold a new one, and it was really impressive, and quite beautiful. I think that both Sher and Honestrabbit have the new ones, you could PM them.

 

Yep, I had checked the measurements of the 7-yr body against my Volks MSD before, and they are very similar, which is why I am interested in it at all. ^_^ I want something quite like the bodies I already have, but also a little different, and not too much taller or shorter.

Thanks for the tip, Stella Maris.

I'm having qualms about the elbow now. I've seen some pics on DoA where the elbow sculpt looks a bit stiff/unnatural when bent at some angles. My dolls wear short sleeves alot so the elbow is important to me since it will be visible most of the time. The posing still looks fabulous, though. *thinks it over*

 

oo i missed this! Yes Shan I have the new 7 year old body, it's on my girl Charles girl I named Charlotte Eglantine (Charlie) -- it's awesome. AWE-SOME. I love how well she can pose, she stands like an utter champ, and she can sit in a billion ways that my other dolls can't. She is beautiful and smooth, I really love her.

She might have a wee bitty of an elbow thing - I will have to look at her again, but from my point of view, given the other billion plusses she has going for her, it doesn't bother me. I didn't really like her hands, as BOTH are fists, so I did get new hands for her which hopefully will arrive soon....

I chose the regular skin (not pinkish) because the pinkish, by itself, was gorgeous, but next to other dolls it was rather pink.

She's the same size as my blue fairy/dod girls, basically.

 

Thank you, sher! ^_^ Your opinion means alot. Thanks for the tip about the pink skin, also....I guess it would be too pink for my dolls, also. Normal it is.

How are her hands changed out? Can you change them easily or do you need to restring the whole arm/torso part?

 

I have an old Serendipity Sharmin and while I love her, I'm not so much in love with her body and her skintone won't match Serendipity's newer bodies--she's got a more yellowy tone than the current white/pinky/peachy make.

...so here's my question. What the heck else can you PUT a Sharmin head on without it looking like a pinhead? I've already had a go at Volks MSD and an SDC boy, and Angel Region without success. I lack access to other slim female bodies like the Volks SDC girl body or Unoa but I'm curious...would they fit at all?

It bears mentioning that Sharmin--at least, my iteration of her--has a tiny, TINY hole in her head for the string to go through, but I have no problem with widening this to accomodate an S-hook. That, or I use the random chunk of resin (looks kinda like a huge rat turd, speaking as a former owner of huge rats -_-;; ) in place of an S-hook.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Try Serendipity's Mini 14 yrs body in "pinky".

 

Be careful.. I got an old head and a new pinkish body and it was no match what so ever. Similar things have happened to my friend trying to match up her SR bodies and heads. If you want a perfect match you will have to send the head plate to SR to make a perfect colour match body, or find out when the head is from and send them the date then they can match it. Hope this helps, but trust me, dont make the mistakes I did!

 

...do they custom-match bodies? o_0 I figured the pinky resin wouldn't, as I've seen a new Alice in that skintone and it's very pale and very pink. I have no idea how old my girl is, as I got her second-hand but she has the older body with the funny ball-less wrist joints, etc...hence my decision to try and find a replacement. I was contemplating the mini 14 y/o body in "normal" skintone (vs. pink or white) and taking my chances with that; at least then the neck's still likely to fit.

Thanks for the input, guys! It's really not that I hate her body, I've just done all the sueding and wiring I can to it and I still feel bad for her posing alongside my other kids. -_-;; Poor dear.

 

They do custom-match bodies, takira, you just have to ship the head to them and pay for the body and their standard shipping rate and they will take care of it for ya~ If you go to their website and email their customer service, they usually respond *very* quickly!

 

my sharmin head fits my mythdoll body. Actualy the resin doesn't match ether but.. I have the opposite problem.

 

I have an oldskin alice head on a pinky white valencia body, and though the match isn't perfect, it's really not that noticeable. I have plans to put my newskin Sharmin on the mini14 girl pinky white as well. I'm really not sure of any other bodies that it would go on though >_<

 

Okay, I broke down and ordered the mini 14 y/o body and I got it in "natural" instead of the pinky just because the natural looked a little closer to her rather-yellowy self. Will see how it turns out. If I love the body but the color's too far off to bear I might send them the headcap and ask for a resin match (didn't read that post until I'd placed the order, naturally. -_-;; ); what an awesome thing to be able to do.

Thanks for the input, everybody! Here's hoping Kitsune can look forward to a life with less suede and wire.

 

I'm getting Laidoll Doll Dream bodies for my spare Serendipity heads. I've heard that Latidoll bodies work too.

 

Ok, my sharmin has been a nekkid little forest imp for a few months...and now I am thinking of changing her look.
I am wondering what clothes fit her best...Tonner? MNF? or do you make your own?
I am not sure of what her new faceup will be but I have a very nice long red wig that she looks wonderful in...and a MNF sexy school girl oufit that I think she can wear...
so what kind of clothes and wigs work for her?

Its either change her look or sell her...because Shu-Shu is calling to me...

 

Well, Sharmin is a slim bjd, so I'm guessing softly she walks would fit, and mnf and i think they have sharmin clothing on dollmore? Yep, just checked, not the biggest selection, but pretty decent. My mnf can wear friends2bmade pretty well, little baggy, but cute still.

 

Teen Trends stuff fits really well. And Unoa stuff like skirts (no fitted jeans - Unoa hips are larger) and shirts for small busted Unoas. And the same goes for Minifees. The Serendipity bodies are the same general size of Unoa/MF, but they are just less voloptuous. As long as you keep that in mind there is a lot for Serendipity girls these days...

 

ok that helps me some...I put her in the Sexy School girl outfit from Luts for Minifees and she looks good in it..skirt's a little loose but she can wear it low slung....
another question...is she limited? as I don't see her for sale on Dollmore..only sold out...
I bought her second hand, and she has all three ear sets. I am still considering selling her to get Shu-shu...I do like bustier girls..and other than the Odelia I am trying to sell they all are small breasted...

what do you think would be a fair price for a doll like this if I were to sell her ?

anyone have an idea?

 

350-400 Thats about close to the going price.. not including shipping.
Dollmore is never going to sell them again.. but I don't know if Serendipity will or not.
