Souldoll Discussion

@Dybbuk Yes, whomever did it, did an amazing job. The tattoos on him are also really well done (he came with those, too).

 

@Dybbuk Thank you!
In fact, there is a big difference in color. But faceup helped. You can best see the color difference on headplate. This photo was taken after the first phase of the faceup. I purposely left the back of the head unpainted to show the difference.

Yes she was! I wanted this doll so bad, but when she was released I was not in a good financial period of my life. About 5 years ago, there was one at a booth at the doll convention in Austin, Tx. She was just as glorious in person. My friend ended up taking her home as I had just spent all my money on another doll I'd wanted for a long time that I saw first. I'm glad she got her but it still bugs me that I missed out on her again!

 

@Arengil : It's very skillfully done!!! I also really like the body proportions for your head. It might be something for me to think about as I have a few Souldoll boy heads with no bodies...

@Mu Shu : I really hope you get a chance to find her again! I know there are only 10 of them made, but you never know. I know quite a few collectors who were into BJDs 10+ years ago have decided to sell off their collections because they're no longer interested in collecting BJDs. That's how I found my older Osu and Soo-Hyun.

Speaking of that tanned Hye, I remember she was released alongside a tan Osu too which I admired!!! There were 20 of him made, but I've never seen an owner photo of him~ He was done in a very similar dark futuristic style. I wonder if anyone on DoA has or had him?

 

I'd love to get my hands on the Amon/Kyle The Hanged Man (gargoyle version, bonus points if he's grey). I couldn't afford him when he was released and I think I've only ever seen him once 2nd hand (naturally after he sold *sigh* but I also felt the seller was a bit high on his pricing).

 

Would anyone with one of the Double boys be willing to take a head measurement? Even with the wayback machine, I can't find their wig size I've fallen in love with the old Double body and I'm willing to be patient enough to hunt for one secondhand, but I want to make sure the head I want to put on it (21cm/8.25") will look proportional. Thanks!

 

@Mainframe110 : I have had the best luck with 7-8" wigs for all my double boys. 9-10 wigs are way too big for them. What head are you looking at to hybrid it with?

 

I have a specific character in mind that I want to shell who has pretty narrow shoulders and is on the shorter side- Granado Remiel has a 21cm head and I’ve seen pics of it fitting rather nicely on the 10.8cm neck of the Lads body. The neck size & shoulder width of the Double body are comparable to the Lads body, but I guess I just wanted to know if the Double heads were like, unusually small. I also have other 21cm SD heads that wear 7”-8” wigs, so I guess until I can get a pic of this weird hybrid idea, the answer is still “it works in theory”.

 

@Mainframe110 : I know the answer to this question is a little unhelpful... Soul Doll has gone through many stylistic changes over the years and so I would say that even their heads tend to vary in size a bit. My Double Jinwoo/Zii/LJK are much slimmer and smaller than my Double Soo-hyun and Osu which are older. I do have a Granado Doll Gabriel head... is he comparable to the Remiel sculpt in size, if so I don't mind digging him out and trying him on the Double body for you to see.

 

Gabriel is indeed the same size head as Remiel! I would be so grateful if you could take a pic of Gabriel on the Double body!
The two-part torso Double body is specifically what I’m after (as opposed to the 3 body torso that was the “updated body”) but they’re so similar, if not the same, in neck/shoulder measurements that either one will be fine for seeing what fits. Again, thank you so much!

 

@Mainframe110 : I took some pictures of Gabriel on my Double body. Overall I think it's a decent hybrid proportion wise. The resins will not match (my Gabriel was blushed for a darker body, but he's a more lighter creamier resin vs the Double's normal which was more pink/fleshy toned). There is a slight gap from the neckhole but it's not awful... I have extra pictures on my Flickr: Natalie Cervantes

 

@Dybbuk Thank you a thousand times for the pics!!! The proportions work just about as well as I’d guessed/hoped which is awesome!

 

I'll measure it when I have it with me.

@Dybbuk

 

No problem at all, happy to help! It's one of my favorite bodies, so I hope you're able to find one!

A few weeks ago I painted my Moonlight Brown Zenith Ah-In. I miss Souldoll's releases hope they get caught up and make more beautiful dolls!

 

He's gorgeous. Beautiful face-up on him, too.

 

@Iron_Dog : Thank you!!! I have been procrastinating on painting him and other dolls and I'm trying to make more of an effort to get dolls painted and done.

 

I finally got my Zenith Ha Do Yoon after more than a year.
I already had Swinte secondhand. He’s on a Loongsoul 73cm body and she’s on a Fan FF body.

@Mahgiep : So handsome! Ha Do Yoon is one I am regretful that I didn't pounce on before the big discontinuation of dolls. I really liked his sculpt when he was released~
