Shoushou Doll 1/4 Discussion

@PChu Here's a comparison between my Niko (normal) and Coco (tan), if that helps some -- both received this year, no sun exposure. Shoushoudoll is the lightest tan I have for all my tan dolls. I can show other tan skin dolls with my Coco body if you want to see comparisons. I do have some normal skin dolls just not for Fairyland or Souldoll — but I have peach skin for Dollzone.

 

Yes please for comparisons with the tan. I'm a little worried I just bought a body that won't match but I won't know for a few more months. Sigh.

 

ooh! I have a Coco in Semi-White, Normal, AND Tan (I really like the coco sculpt...lol). I'll grab a comparison under white light for you

edit: I see there's already a comparison...now I'm second guessing, my Coco Normal and Tan are barely different at all. Anyway, the hands are top→bottom, Semi-white, Normal, Tan:




Wondering if I was sold a Normal and they just called it Tan loool. Though the color is subtly different.

ONE MORE edit: Here's my Normal Coco and Normal Niko:

They're a bit different too, it could just be a difference between batches.

AND Normal Niko + Tan Coco:

 

@PChu Here are some comparisons with other brand's resins with white natural light and a white light. Again, this is Shoushoudoll normal and tan received new in summer 2022, so I don't know if it's different from previous years.



Hope this helps everyone with the comparisons with other resins.

 

@Tweendoriru @karlyl thank you thank you thank you both!! The normal and tan are so close. I think I'll just have to cross my fingers and see if the body matches when it comes. Either way it can't be too far off since the difference is so mild.

I ordered the chubby 1/4 body from Guard Love in normal. I'll post pictures when it arrives.

 

Does anyone know if Shoushou tends to re-release any of their dolls? I recently came across the Coco face mold and fell in love! Unfortunately, it was on Ali Express, under the Gaoshun company, which I'm pretty sure is known for selling recasts of other artists' work. I tracked the face mold as belonging to Shoushou's Coco --at the very least, it's extremely similar--, but I'm afraid I'm late to the party and she's sold out, at least on the BJDivas site. Any idea if there are plans to re-release her, or if there are any legitimate places to find her, or even just her head?

 

They've done at least one re-release of Niko, so hopefully they'll re-release the others, too! I'm honestly hoping yes, I skipped Coco when she was available, but now that I've seen owner photos I have regrets myself, so I've got my fingers crossed!

 

Thanks so much! It's good to know there's a chance she might be available again. I'll keep an eye out; hopefully we can both get her eventually!

 

A little late, but I know Shoushou was structuring their colors to Volks DD for their anime girls (hence the ridiculously light tan). If the body ends up not working out for you, you may have better luck asking about Volks DD tan for a color match rather than to Shoushou directly.

 

I noticed that! I was wondering if it was specific to the newer dolls in that style. Hopefully I can get a match pretty easily, even if I just have to wait.

 

Question - does anyone have a Coco/Doudou on the body with the bunny feet? I got one recently, and I can't for the life of me get it to stand The bodies with the human feet are so easy...for some reason the bunny feet just won't balance. Is this normal??

 

I can't speak specifically for the bunny feet since I don't have them but it's usually a lot of wiggling. They might look straight but they might not be. If the socket keeps moving, it might be a good idea to suede them a bit. By design the feet are smaller so it will be harder to pose for sure.


I am getting a white skin Niko head soon and from my understanding, it would match Volks DD white, is that correct? I haven't made a hybrid in soooo long... White can be so different from one company to the next especially if it match volks dd white.

Anyone have tried Niko on an mdd body? I don't plan on putting the head on it but as my crew are mdd I wouldn't want Niko to feel out of scale too much.

 

Super excited, my Coco and Niko are finished with their faceups from Angeltoast! Cannot wait to finish styling the girls, they are soooo cute right now pics soon!

 

My girls arrived back home!! They are soooo adorable, ughhhh so stinking cute

 

@karlyl , your girls look so cute! It's amazing how a faceup can just bring them to life!

Also, oh my gosh, I'm still pinching myself over here!
I'd been checking BJDivas periodically, just on the off chance that they miiight magically get another Coco in stock someday. Seemed unlikely, but hope springs eternal, as they say. So last Saturday, I was browsing the in-stock selection, and there she was! It was just the one in stock, so maybe they unearthed her from somewhere, or someone ordered one and it fell through somehow. So I finally have a Coco on her way to me! I've been kind of holding my breath all week, certain that I was going to receive an email that there had been some kind of error and my order was being canceled. But the other day I received a shipping invoice, so it seems like she's actually coming home!

I'm not entirely sure what to expect. The price for this listing was quite a bit higher than what she is normally priced at on their site. So I don't know if that means maybe she'll come with something like eyes or a wig. But the listing was listed as "blank/nude doll," and usually with in-stock items, they'll tell you if it includes anything extra. So maybe she was priced higher just because she was the only one they had? I honestly didn't think too hard about it at the time; I just smashed that "add to cart" button!

So if anyone is still looking for her, don't give up! You never know if one might pop up again!

 

@ilovecake congrats on getting your Coco! I'm sure you'll enjoy her a lot, she is soooo cute hahaha. Divas does sometimes mark up prices for in stock stuff. But if she's what you wanted and especially when she's not easy to get, markups can be just the way it goes. I have never gotten extras like eyes or wigs when ordering from Divas -- they did include a mini Inkari Alpaca once since I ordered a lot of alpacas through them previously (which was very nice because Inkari is expensive), but usually it's just the doll in my experience. Hope that helps and can't wait to see what you do with your Coco!

 

Thanks for the info! I'm super-excited! I am starting to get a little concerned, though. I paid the shipping invoice on Feb 11th, and I haven't heard anything since or received a shipping notification. I'm still new to BJDivas and ordering BJDs in general, so I don't know if it's normal for there to be a waiting period on in stock items? From what information I've gathered, I thought once the shipping invoice was paid, that meant the doll was ready to ship out. But maybe that's not how it works?

I don't mind waiting at all. I just want to make sure everything is going okay. At what point should I reach out and ask? I don't want to seem demanding. I'm just curious. I just want to make sure my order didn't fall through or anything.

 

@ilovecake I wouldn't feel bad about reaching out, it's been a couple weeks since you paid the invoice and sometimes things get missed if they didn't confirm receipt of the payment to you.

 

@ilovecake I know they had some illness going through their staff recently (and also have a very small post office), right around the time you said you paid the invoice. I'd second shooting them a quick message to see where things are standing.

 

My gal is complete! BUT I can't find clothes to fit her!! I tried a bunch f different sizes and nothing worked! Arg!! She's still naked!
