SoulDoll mini dolls Soulkids Discussion part 6

I hope they're able to work something out for you!!

 

I sent SoulDoll a note and they're willing to make a Millie for me!!! *girlish squeals of glee* She will be my 4th 1/4 scale BJD! And my first SoulDoll. I'm curious to see how the body compares to my Minifees! I do know she'll be a little taller.

 

Congrats! So nice that they'll make her for you!

Soulkid bodies are taller and have wider hips so be prepared not to fit her into any minifee pants. The shoes are perfectly interchangeable, though!

 

Yayy, I'm so happy they're going to make you a Millie, congrats!! Personally I was actually a bit shocked when I pulled my Souldoll girl out of her box. As cobaltconduct mentioned, they're notably taller and the hips quite a bit wider, but I wasn't prepared for the fact that she would just feel bigger period. I actually love it though, because to me, my Souldoll girls feel a bit more mature and realistic than my Minifee girl did (not to mention better posing, in my opinion!). At least they can share shirts and shoes, though.

 

Haha, I also went from minifee to soulkid and had the same exact reaction - she was so much bigger and sturdier! I think their measurements on the site are a little lowballed because my new double jointed hybrid (I don't believe the non-souldoll head makes *that* much difference) is 46cm tall...

 

Glad to know it wasn't just me, haha. And I noticed that too about the measurements! I think my Iplehouse boy was 46cm and I was confused to see that my Souldoll girl was a lot closer to his height than my Minifee girl was.

 

I emailed them in July and asked if they were going to rerelease Ricia any time soon. They said maybe, but that if I wanted her blank, they'd make one special for me! I'm so excited. She'll be my first Souldoll, though my sister @puppymush has hers so I'm familiar with them (and can make clothes ahead of time, hehe).

@Aurify - just a side note, I asked Souldoll if they'd be willing to ship unstrung to save on shipping costs, and they said yes. It took my estimate from about $100 to about $42. I don't know if you'd want to string it yourself, but I thought you might want to know.

 

Oh that's so awesome!!

 

Wow... hearing these stories of Souldoll being able to make some people out of stock dolls is so amazing! I can't wait to see some of these dolls pop up!

I'm still struggling if I should get the new Angel Persephone! I kinda wish they offered her in a different limited skin because I have a ton of their light purple/lavender girls~ Or maybe I just need to be patient and see what's offered in the winter time.

Has anyone else purchased her?

 

@Dybbuk She is gorgeous! It might be worth an ask if they might consider making one for you in another skin tone... seems less likely since it's an event, but they're definitely more open to suggestions.

 

Angel would be so tempting to get in purple skin if it wasn't for the fact I have Kyron and Devonia on layaway Denverdoll recently became a dealer for Souldoll again, so I put the twins on a nine month layaway. I'm ahead on my payments, but I'd rather pay them off before getting another Souldoll bjd or any other big purchases, lol.

 

@industrious.jenn : I did ask them if they would make me a Tera Zenith Daydream but we will see if they will allow it! You're right though, it never hurts to ask!!!

@Epona Oooh did you get Kyron and Devonia in the fantasy skin? What a lovely pair.

 

I apologize for the slightly off-topic post, lol, but I just wanted to post an update about the measurement thing – I measured my Soulkid Ricia last night and she does seem to be around 43cm tall (her head is small, in the 6-7 inch range, so this could be partly why). Now I'm wondering if perhaps my Minifee girl was shorter than the measurements? It certainly did not feel like only 2 centimeters of difference between them.

Spoiler: Comparison photo

I realize it's not the best comparison since the photo was taken slanted, lol, but you can see why I feel like the height difference is more than 2 centimeters...

 

Could it be that your minifee has a larger head? My doll legend head fits into minifee wigs and measures at around 46cm on the Soulkid bod. Perhaps it also sits higher up on the neck?

 

Very good point! Don't know why I didn't think of it! My Minifee girl's head is definitely larger than my Soulkid girl. She wears a 7-8 size wig rather than 6-7. And to hybrid her on the Souldoll body, she's using a neck connector which might make her head sit higher. So yes, now that I think about it, I wouldn't be surprised if she's a couple centimeters taller than my Soulkid even though their bodies are the same!

 

I think Millie will be a sort of older sister for my minifees, but I suppose if the height difference was really odd I could perhaps rebody her onto a MNF body? I wonder if the two companies have similar 'normal' skin tones. I'd definitely like to spend some time getting to know the souldoll body - I haven't yet seen one in person, just a few videos/photos. I did request both the old and new set of hands, and the high heeled feet, so that I could have a bit of variation.

 

Love the older sister idea! I know it's all a matter of taste, but personally, I don't think the height difference looks odd. It's quite similar to me and my older sister, actually! It's hard to explain, but I think that although the heights are different the scale is still similar. As far as rebodying, I believe I've seen Souldoll/Fairyland hybrids before and the resin looked like it matched okay, but of course any difference might be a lot more extreme in real life than in photos. However I'm very biased in favor of the Soulkid body, so I admit I can't imagine ever going back to Minifee bodies now, haha. Anyways, I hope you enjoy your Souldoll girl as much as I've enjoyed mine!

 

Does anyone know if SoulDoll can share shoes (either flat or heeled) with Minifees? Their feet are the same length, so in theory they should, but does anyone have both dolls to verify?

 

Flat shoes perfectly! I don't have Souldoll heeled feet to try heels unfortunately.

 

Good to know! I have a decent supply of flats/sneakers for the girls. I'll try the heel feet and report back when she arrives in... January? February? lol. Hopefully sooner rather than later!
