Supia Boys Discussion

I noticed a similar problem with my Rosy and considering I do tons of head swaps, I had to remedy that, lol. I used some thinner elastic meant for arms or 1/4ths to create a small loop, then tied it and looped that around the end where the s hook was and then onto the actual hook, lol. If you do this, just be mindful it will add some length to the overall elastic, which will loosen your doll. It might not be enough to make a difference, but longer added loops definitely will!

 

In the end I just pulled up the one string from the leg part of the stringing, because the arm stringing was so tight I literally couldn't pull it up through the neck hole.

I am really not sure if I'm friends with this body. The neck seems too long for the head, doesn't it?


At least I am happy with his face-up.

 

@toveb As I told you in my post, only the two leg loops go into the head anyway (I don't even know if there is a body out there where the arm loop is pulled up into the head?)
Your boy looks very handsome, and very comfy in his stylish cardigan. Thanks for sharing!

 

Oh, duh me. You're right! I forgot.
But I found it difficult to pull up both elastics from the leg also. Do you think it will cause issues later down the line?

 

Yep, seems like they did not really take into account the width of the head hole when they chose these elastic strings^^ All I can say, I had my boy for 8 years now, I did tighten his strings a bit not long ago, and I did not notice any damage caused by the strings. I always felt that because of their thickness the strings helped him pose a bit better, although that's always a bit difficult with Supia dolls in general (I sueded mine, too) Your boy looks lovely!

 

This may be a silly question but does anyone have a picture of the 60cm supia doll girl body or ballerina body next to the 65cm boy body? I want to make sure I like the height difference

 

Does anyone have a comparison of the new cream skin to the prior normal skin? I am tempted by the new 75cm body!

 

I believe it's a little peachier toned, I'm getting it for a hybrid myself actually

 

Thank you!

Update! Supia News on Instagram says the 15% discount will drop to 10% when the makeup pictures for the free head are posted!

 

I am really liking Gideon's head! The body is also gorgeous, but very large.

 

Got my Gideon. Love his body!
Kathy P on Instagram: "Complete surprise today. Supia Gideon arrived with ballerino feet. What a beautiful body! Absolutely no incentive to dress him. I thought in the heat I should wait to do is faceup on the weekend but I couldn’t wait to see him!

Oh wonderful how does he pose?

 

Mostly good. Some manipulations to stand but then solid (hips are wiggly and torso is top heavy like a Soom but better). He looks extremely natural and always handsome in poses. I only have one doll whose hips lock great for standing (dfh 68 girl) and I want them all to have this now.

Hmmm the wiggly hips kinda concern me at that size

 

After my Loongsouls all dolls are wiggly to me. It’s not too bad but he likes to find his own postures rather than be told…
