Souldoll Discussion

*dusts off dead thread*

Anyone see the new Zenith released? Nolan: Nolan
He's very handsome~ Wondering if they will release a fantasy version of him this winter, or if we are just getting this CAD release only~ Of course, he has to be limited

 

I'm quite excited about the renewal of the zenith bodies - especially the girl one - I have some of theirs floating heads just waiting for the perfect body.

Can't wait to see what it will look like!
I would be fine with proportions and most of the sculpt being as is, but I REALLY want the return of the old style, lower bust joint torso that worked so well in the old double body... they used it in the newest kid and vito bodies so hopefully this is something they might consider...
Other than that also - elbow joints that can swivel to the sides, but the torso update is like my priority.

What I hope doesn't change - overall body proportions, like in shoulders/hips etc. I have some souldoll dresses that I still want to have use for in new bodies.
Also current hands and legs are very cool and they should stay haha

@Dybbuk I was also wondering if we will get fantasy version of him like we got with Caleb but with the body renewal probably not... or not YET!

 

While I don't plan on updating the bodies I currently have I'm still very interested in how they'll update the zenith girls. Aesthetically I like the current bodies but they're not the best posers. If they were a bit more like the kids girls I'd be satisfied. Smaller feet that you can actually find shoes for would also be nice.

 

I'm curious to see what they do with the Vito boys. I don't have plans for more right now, but I also didn't plan on buying 5 dolls this year yet here we are. I regret nothing.

I wish they'd consider bringing back the Double line. I have 2 (2nd hand) and really like the aesthetic of them a lot. To be fair, I really like SD a lot but let's not split hairs here.

 

Me too! I loved their Double line dolls and felt crushed when they discontinued them.

 

Currently I have 3 Vitos, a Souloid, 2 Double boys and a Kid head on a DV body (yea free head event!). I'd love to see them do more fantasy boys as it seems like it's always the girls getting that treatment *pouts*.

 

I did end up purchasing Nolan (and a Zenith Kai head) on a layaway; I wasn't sure if either would make a return from their limited status. Although, I am excited about the body updates as well! I really hope they improve pose-ability of the Zenith girl body especially... I had one briefly, and while she was very gorgeous, she was like a statue. @Iron_Dog - Agree! Wish the boys would get some more fantasy CAD sets...I really liked what they did with Caleb, would love to see more Vito boys and Kid boys getting the CAD treatment. Would LOVE some merman to go with the mermaids they did earlier this year!

Speaking of old Double boys~ I bought this Osu off the MP a while back. Osu was one of my early doll wants - and I'm happy he finally joined the family! I miss the double line as well -- It's prompted me to go back and retroactively collect some of their older sculpts... which are tough to find now.

 

He's gorgeous @Dybbuk Congrats on the find.

The Double boys are a bit difficult to find 2nd hand. I assume that's because the people who do have them don't want to pass them along because they are so nice.

 

@Iron_Dog - Thanks so much! And yes... coupled with the fact that some sculpts didn't have a ton of owners to begin with. There are a few obscure doubles that I only remember seeing 1-2 owner pics on DoA. But I'm keeping my eyes peeled! Wanting to find a Double Star at some point~

WOW I'm so glad I put my order for Nolan in early... I was thinking of waiting closer to the 31st to order him... but now his page says "Sold Out" even though his CAD period said it would close on the 31st.

 

I'd wanted a Juhl for a long time but he rarely seemed to pop 2nd hand. Then one did and I pounced on him. He came to me blank and I was lucky enough to have Jade Garden paint him for me (they're no longer taking commissions ). He is Ji-Sun, God of Carnal Desire, Love & Fertility. It doesn't show well in this photo but there is a subtle heart on his lips. The stone at the base of his throat is malachite that I had my jeweller cut for me. The stone is the god-mark from his husband, Malachite (God of Crystals & Stone). Their other husband is Qayin, a Chimeric Demon. I need to take a good picture of them together. It's on my To-Do List.

@Astro : Your boys look PHENOMENAL! I absolutely adore their faceups! They made them both so smoldering It inspires to finally work on my poor LJK~ So sorry to hear you are still having a hard time finding bodies/hands. The 60-62cm range is so hard to find for males these days... I feel most companies start their SD lines at 65cm and up now. I'm not sure what is compatible for them anymore, I think Fairyland might work proportionally with their slimness... but the resin match is probably going to be way off though -_- ;

@Iron_Dog : Your Juhl is so lovely! I really like his sculpt as well~ but I haven't seen many of his kind around! Congrats on such a rare beauty. The gemstone in his neck is a very unique touch!

 

It took me many years to bring Star home and then it was only the head but that's what matters the most! Love that sculpt and am still overjoyed that I was able to find one. Finding Double line dolls in the marketplace always catches my eye.

 

@Astro : Yes the toughest part about them is the head size and making sure the proportions are right! I'll try to keep my eyes peeled for anything I see. Your boys would look very dreamy on a more fitting body!

@Mu Shu : Aaaah! Congrats! I haven't seen a Star go on sale in quite some time. I know she's gotta be pretty rare. But I'm not giving up hope! I check DoA, eBay, Mandarake, Dollyteria, Y!J, and Mercari pretty regularly for Souldoll's and it's been fruitful! I found Osu, Soohyun, Ize and Lee Jun Ki over the past year and half. Hoping to find my Star soon! Did you ever get your Star put together??

 

Yalaren is my Ize. I got him 2nd hand and his former owner said he had a bit of an eye opening mod. The tattoo work on his throat and chest is also over his back and both his forearms are done in the same style as well.

Does anyone here have a good eye size rec for the Liv Elegance ver? Souldoll claims they do 16mm but I prefer going a little smaller to avoid having giant swaths of irises

 

I don't own any SoulDolls from this decade, but if you measure the eye shape going with which ever part is tallest or widest. You'll get the smallest size you'll need for the particular eye opening not to show any gaps. Then you can look for eyes that size, or a MM or two bigger, with smaller irises. Hope that helps you. (:

 

That is really helpful ty ♡
