Sio2 Dolls

Yea I'm not sure but there's been a split. On another note the bunny doll is now on pre-order on Wood Habitat's IG Habitat Wood on Instagram: “#bjd #bjdsale #doll” though not sure if i should make another thread for Wood Habitat? O.o

 

Have any of the other Aoandon owner's out there tried wigs other than the resin ones? I want to use some of the luts TDF wigs on mine but the horns get in the way

 

This is from Sio2's website. They have an etsy now, and their support email seems to have changed.
Their instagram seems to be unaffected.

 

For anyone worried about their orders, I was able to contact Sio2 through etsy (which they recommended to customers on their Instagram) about confirming my Talou order and they were very quick to respond.

 

The artists splitting is really sad. I like both of them as artists, but the whole situation is really confusing.

I see Wood Habitat is going to be selling his new doll with what looks like the ragdoll body. I wonder if they’ve both agreed on this or he’s choosing to sell regardless?

At least I’m glad SIO2 has an Etsy now! I think it will make purchasing easier (easier but more dangerous for my wallet haha).

 

I'm going to throw a while guess here, but I think that the Wood Habitat artists is the one that did the small dolls and Sio2 did the SD. The style difference is so big, that it would make sense that they're different artists, but if Sio2 is selling the new boy, then this throw that guess out of the window (unless they settled on an agreement or something beforehand)

 

I know it was mentioned somewhere that the artist from Wood Habitat was the artist who designed Aoandon. I don’t know what other things he’s done for SIO2 in addition?

Ziqian is the founding artist for SIO2, and though the styles between their SD dolls and tinies are different, I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as one artist did one thing and the other artist did another. They may have worked on both together. I had always assumed she was the main designer behind Ragdoll, but I could be wrong.

 

I'm not entirely sure who did what. Aoandon was inspired by a Japanese Demon Documentory called 百鬼夜行. I can't find where I read it but I remember the artist mentioning that their boyfriend or a male friend [Wood Habitat(?)] suggested of making a demon 1/6 doll. Also on Wood Habitat's Twitter it says they they are still open for GK; aka Garage Kits. I know they design some of their own Garage Kits for anime/manga/games that they feel like. So maybe Wood Habitat was the one who makes it in a 3D program? I'm not completely sure since on Wood Habitat's twitter there's also an image of him working on a 1/3 head...



On another note, taking a closer look at Chodol / bunny 1/6 doll it looks like the body is actually a ragdoll body since the feet are the same. Only the hands are "bunny" hands. I might place an order to switch the body with my LipStick or Aoandon.

I just hope this rift between the two will get sorted. At first I just thought WH wanted to become independent but now it seems there was something more to this whole thing since I'm assume that's why one party went out of their way to changed the passwords though it's not 100% confirmed if WH was actually the one who did it since I don't know the exact number of people who was in the SIO2 company as a whole... I hope this whole thing will be sorted out soon!

 

I recently fall in love with some Dolls of Sio2 (hard to find 2nd hand ^^
Especially i like the Ragdoll with Cat Ears.
The Wood Habitat Bunny is also lovely - can't wait for what in the future releases will be.
Hope that i have a chance for my second Doll to be an Sio2/Wood Habitat One.

 

The wood habitat bunny is currently on pre-order from Feb 20 to April 20

thanks for the information i saw it the last days but i'm waiting for a more humanoid one (at least the face should be their human style, the ragdoll with paws is also sweet)

 

Wood habitat opened pre-order for new hands. Postet on twitter あの猫の部屋 Wood Habitat ragdollシリーズドール用ハンドの時間限定予約の手順をご説明致します

 

I'd love new hands for my ragdoll body u_u

 

The Google translation of this site says it fits :3
The set include all of the shown hands. Could also imagine that people could be interested in splitting?

 

Maybe so ! Mine has the fist hands that while cute are still very limited ^^

 

I placed an order for a set
According to Sio2's blog, she's currently in the hospital so I hope she'll get well soon.
I just find it weird that while she's hospitalized Wood Habitat and Yeko are holding these pre-orders since it's still unclear as to who owns the.. um.. rights? to the 1/6 dolls. Hopefully Sio2 herself knows and gave them permission.

 

Which blog do you mean? Can't find this over their website at least everything i found was happy chinese new year post the latest post

I'm not sure about the whole situation - but i think for hands wood habitat made for herself aren't any issue? For Example also some other company doing additional parts like soft busts for several BJDs. So i think it's okay unless it's her work and not work of sio2.
I hope someday they will post a statement - i find it very confusing.

 

Sio2's blog: Sina Visitor System I think the social media blog has changed it's settings. Before anyone can view but now you must have an account so I'm not sure if you can see it.

I'm not sure as to who owns what since it's never explicitly mentioned. Since if someone was to sell work that isn't theirs, we the collectors would have no idea unless we're told directly. That's a bit difficult when, apparently, Sio2 is locked out of her social media accounts...

On another note, my Aoandon order finally arrived and wow I was so happy to see all these gifts they included: Fox mask, drum, stand and a pair of Codol bunny hands

 

There seems to be an international Burmilla Pre-Order soon?
There appeared a new Banner on their Website?didn't saw it last week and seems to appear not on every site in the website. If i get it right it will start in 6 days? (only suggested the numbers should be an date?)

 

Oh that's cool they're re-releasing her so perfect for those who've missed her the first time around.
