Although Souris Etoile has been making BJD heads since 2017, I was surprised to find no discussion thread for them here on DoA. I follow the maker on Insta. As of now the large scale heads they have made are: Loup Micha Miguel Ire Ire Melancholy Chei Chei Melancholy Hwain Lucas Adele Adele Melancholy Astor Does anyone else own a Souris head? Any thoughts or opinions from owners or admirers? Anyone else order the Astor head from the preorder that just happened?
I got my Ire head 2017, his facial features are gorgeous. However, the head back cap was not nicely done, I don't know how to explain so I will include the photos. I have not bought any new heads from them yet, so I wonder if the head back cap is improved or not... Update Feb 5: I emailed Souris Etoile about other release sculpts, I also asked them about this issue of Ire/Ire:Melancolie. Souris Etoile confirmed there is no such issue in their new sculpts, since Ire/Ire: Melancolie was their very first sculpts so this issue just happened. But, they improve!

Also, his resin matches with RS normal Luts 2019 and beige powder "normal" Switch about 95-98%. Comparing between Luts and Switch, normal skin from Luts would be a bit more pale than Switch. Switch is more pinker. Souris Etoile is pinker than Switch, so the resin scale will be considered like this: Luts < Switch < Souris Etoile ( pink to pinkest) Overall, the resin from those 3 companies match well. . About the neck joint, since SE-Ire neck circumstance is smaller than Luts/Switch neck, so head posability is limited. Inside the head, there are 2 marks for S hook, I think these 2 marks help posability a little bit, but not much... Good proportion when hybridizing with Luts SDF65 body, and may be with Switch 65 body too
Thank you for creating this thread! I have bought my first 2 Souris Etoile heads just yesterday! They are Adele and Aster! I have been looking for Adele for 5 months Btw you forgot to include Adele and Adele mélancolie on the list! Adele was made and sold before Aster. He's my favorite from Souris Etoile ^^
One of my favorite instagram has a bunch of their heads. I fell in love with Astor but they're all sold out right now
Does anyone know what Souris Etoile's release schedule is and if they re-release sculpts? I'm in love with Ire
I don't think the artists has done very many rereleases and releases in general seem a little random. My Astor didn't end up working out for me (I couldn't get over just how teeny tiny his teeth were sculpted) but I love their sculpts in general. Maybe I'll try another one down the road.
Souris Etolie is releasing Stella soon. He's absolutely perfect for a character I am shelling. He sells on 6/13-6/19. Here is a link to the page. Stella| Stella - Souris Etoile Good to know about the switch match I am going to try to find a powder beige body. ETA - updated link.
I ADORE the Stella head I'm already too attached to my current doll that I would have him as. ...And I really have no need for extra characters I've not made up yet. Just gonna add him to my admiration list for now.
Ohh I love Souris Etoile so much. I only found out they existed the day the Stella preorder ended. Stella and Aamon are some of my favs, but Aster is so lovely. I'll just have to live vicariously through everyone else for now Hoping to see lots of pics when people get their Stella's.
I hope you are able to get one on second-hand market @thousandfurs ! They should ship soon. I just asked for an update as they quoted 60 days but its been a few days over 90 lol.
Their sculpts are so unique! I have an astor in mocha that I wanted to do a hybrid match with my switch body in mocha, but unfortunately it wasn't a close match at all...I made a bad move by assuming that all korean brands have similar resin match for each of their skin tones! Does any have recommendations?
Got an email update finally. Due to errors in production they had to get reproduced so Stella wont ship until around the second week of November.
Just got my shipping notice for Stella in peach skin! I also just ordered a Vings 68 (small neck) body. Peach is a good match for Switch Bisque/Normal which Vings can match. Unfortunately it will be a while until the body gets here but I will report back with pics once I do get him all together.
Aw yay hope he comes home soon. I just checked the website and my order still says preparing shipment Feels like this pre-order took forever. I almost forgot I ordered him lol
@purplepaws Ty! I ordered him like 10 mins after he dropped so I may have been one of the first ones to order lol. She did go on her honeymoon in like August/Sept for almost a month so I think that also attributed to the delays on top of the factory issue. I hope you get your notice soon!
Looks like I ordered mine on the 14th, which was a day after. It's still not shipped though That makes sense... I was wondering because my Aamon was shipped 3 months after ordering
