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.
