Souldoll Double Hye ~ Doll with a heartbeat <3

more dolls need to have bodies like that. *nods*

 

Hye is really beautifull,and she looks like this famous model Gemma Ward
just look and liken.

 

My Hye got here today, and I have to admit (somewhat ashamedly) that I love her about 100 times more than I love my first doll, a CP Moon. I'm heading out the door to find a likely spot for pictures in just a few minutes. I may pause to change her eyes and lashes first, though.

She is unbelievably expressive, and she came to me strung at a perfect tension (unlike my CP boy, who is very floppy, and desperately needs restringing). I could go on for ages about how lovely her hands are, complete with perfect nails. She'll probably be getting a blush job tomorrow, as such beauty deserves it.

To cut a long story short, so incredibly worth it! Very much in love

 

Congrats Ophiomancer! Do not feel bad about liking her more than your first doll; my Skylar is on the top of my list right now also! She is an amazing doll. I may even want another in the future; and I hope they come out with another strong looking girl in this category.

lishe

Yaay for more Hyes! Congrats to everyone!

Ophiomancer - You said your Hye is well strung — can you move her torso at all, and does she have more than 2 head positions (head up & head down)? Julia's Hye & my Hye are strung really tight so I was curious about yours. I heard that the Limited Hye at Dollectable was strung even tighter. And yes, the hands are exquisite and her face is quite expressive. Hye is a unique beauty and you should not be ashamed by liking her so much! Your Moon will always be special because he was your first doll. No other doll can have that honor

Julia - It was great to see your Hye and meet you in person! Thanks for the MSD size wig tips — I'll let you know if I find any other companies/sizes that fit well. ^_^

My Hye, Robin.




Robin met Sieneko's Nodin (Souldoll Paris)...


...and became rather attached.

red rosin - She is strung pretty darn tightly, but it sounds like she has a tiny bit more head and torso mobility than your girl. Not a whole lot, but a bit. The more I play with her, and get used to her quirks, the better I'm able to get her to hold a more difficult pose. Still, I'm going to have to restring her to blush her any way, so I might make some tiny adjustments then.

As for Hadrian, my Moon, I still love him, especially his face. When/if CP comes out with a more flexible body, I think that I will replace his current one. For now, I'll restring and suede him, and that will likely help him do more than just sit looking pretty.

I am very much enjoying Hye's changeable moods, and she's very photogenic.

 

I want a Hye in tan skin now!

 

I don't think I'd want one with a heartbeat but she's beautiful

 

A question for all those who have Hye... what are the extra thigh joints meant for? *blush*

First I thought they were suwarriko style joints, but obviously they aren't, there is a little peg holding them in place and keeping the lower thigh parts from turning.
But they do not bend either...*scratches head*... what am I missing?^^

Sorry for the probably stupid question! And all your girls are just wonderful, congrats to everybody!

 

From what I can tell, they act as double "upper leg" joint. It allows Hye to hug her knees to her chest without the upper leg coming out of the hip socket. You can kinda see it in the second to last photo here. I'll try to post a picture of my Hye in that position.

 

Thanks, Red Rosin! I kinda twisted that joint in the wrong direction and of course that wouldn't work... but now it's quite obvious, works beautifully! I must have been blind, hehe

 

Mandagore - So I tried to take a picture, but Robin is strung so tight that the joint is rendered useless.


Edited due to my posting without thinking. My apologies to Souldoll.
Hye's stringing is different from what I used to and I just need to take some time to play with it more. She has a separate neck piece, and her torso is strung with a strong ribbon rather than elastic. The ribbon fits better through the neck holes and won't mess up the heartbeat wiring like I imagine elastic would. Hopefully loosening the lower strings will help with her upper body & head mobility. Otherwise, I'll try using smaller elastics in place of the ribbon since my Hye doesn't have the heartbeat sensor thingy.

Update - Souldoll is awesome. They emailed me about my Hye, and are now sending me replacement parts. Souldoll has modified Hye's neck, torso, and stringing to fix the problem. YAAY!!! *hugs super nice people at Souldoll*

 

Oops, you give me dire thoughts of unstringing her!^^
Cause I want to sand and paint her body next...

But thanks anyway!

But for now my girl Andraste's in one piece and can be viewed in her Gallery post should you like!^^

 

Have you seen this one ??

what size wig does she wear please?

 

8-9 inch wigs seem to fit Hye the best. I have managed to shove some larger MSD size (7-8 ) wigs on Hye, but most SD (9-10) wigs are too big.

 

red rosin, i got an email by souldoll a week ago asking for any complaints about Hye. They wanted to improve her still. I guess the sent it to all Hye buyers?

I also mentioned the problem with head/neck mobility due to the stringing to them, and so I too got their answer today, announcing the shipping of the modified replacement parts. I am super excited!^^

I am overwhelmed, these guys are awesome. That's customer service if ever there was one... YAY for souldoll!

 

I'm not trying to discourage you, but I've had plenty 8-9 size wigs fall off her head too... it's not just circumference but also the...er.... volume of the back of the head that is rather tiny. It doesn't fill out the wig cap well.
So far I've been lucky with Iplehouse wigs that fit Cocori and DoT wigs (those dollies' backs of the heads are smallish too), and of course 7-8 size wigs.^^
