ShinyDOLL [Fragille] Information and Discussion

Chizune looks too cute for words in her new wig!

 

I have heard such great things about the Fragille body! All the dolls here are so pretty!

What is the best way to order just the body? This is the only website I found listing it for sale, but I don't know if it is trustworthy:
Fragille Body 42cm

My intention is (eventually) is make a Shiny Doll + Unoa hybrid. I love the sweet Unoa faces! I like the Unoa Fairyskin best, and I'm guessing Shiny Doll's "White" skin would work best with that color (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Edited to add: Do you think Minifee hands would work with the Fragille body? I like the different hand options.

Thank you!

 

You can usually order the body direct from Shin, however I'm not sure what his schedule is like nowadays, so it might be a longer wait than before (it used to be super quick). He's sometimes a little slow to reply to emails.

His email is [email protected] (yes, with all the hyphens!)

 

Thank you, @babytarragon!

So it is better to buy from him directly than from Oobie Doll?

Edited to add:

Okay, I want to email him, but I'm so torn about the skin tone! After looking through this thread I really love the Hikali head, so I'll probably just go ahead and get a full doll and put the Unoa plates on when I feel like it. But I can't decide between the white and normal skin! The normal skin looks pretty pale already, and is a bit more human than the white skin, but, on the other hand, I like the Unoa Fairyline skin a bit better than their Fresh skin, and I don't know if it would go with the Shiny Doll Normal!

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

 

The Shinydolls are cast in Japan resin, which yellows quickly and easily compared to Korea or China resin. So they do end up quite eggy over time!

 

Thank you, @babytarragon

That's a consideration. I wonder if Normal or White skin ages better? I don't mind a doll ending up looking somewhat like ivory, but I would prefer no bananas!

Also, another question: has anyone tried Minifee hands on a Shiny Doll body (I realize the new hands would need a wrist magnet piece).

 

Hello!! I was hoping someone could tell me neck size of the Fragille body. I could not find measurements for it anywhere. Thank you in advance!

 

I would love to have this information as well. If you find it from another source, please share it here if it isn't too much trouble!

 

JPopDolls used to sell Shinydolls. They haven't had any listed for sale for quite some time but the category is still there: Ball Jointed Dolls. It might be worth asking if they can still get them. Someone in my local doll group has a hybrid doll with Shinydoll body. After a number of years it has definitely yellowed, but so has the CP Luts head attached to it.

 

It would be nice to see all of these girls again. I keep looking at Meefa on Oobie doll and trying not to cave in (not too hard as I have way more expenses than I was expecting).

 

Sorry for the late reply! I contacted Angie from oobiedoll and she told me she was not sure of the neck size, but she would contact the artist and then get back to me. If she ever does, I will definitely let you know what she tells me

 

Thank you, @Citizen#Jaime! I hope she gets back to you soon so you can proceed with your planning!

 

I emailed Shin directly and he said the Fragille body is still available for order. Can anyone comment on the posing of this body vs. Minifees or Bimong Naraes (or other MSDs that are good posers)? I have a floating Minifee head in search of a body. I could order a Minifee body and get it over with, it'd be easier to find clothing and shoes, but I really enjoy nothing more than a well posing body so I'm intrigued by Shinydoll's reputation.

Thank you!

 

Fragille has very 'soft' posing. She's very flexible, and I find her to have quite an organic feel if that makes sense? The downside is that although she stands well, she's not as sturdy as a doll whose joints click in place. So really depends what is more important, a doll which can achieve nearly every pose a human can, or a doll who stands like a rock!

 

Thank you for this useful information. I rarely need my doll to stand on its own. This sounds very interesting!
