Supia Girls Discussion Thread Part IX

I have been hemming and hawing which body to get a Hael on and I think I want to do a 65cm body for her. That being said, what are some pros and cons to watch out for with the body? I am not terribly concerned about clothes, but more about posing and aesthetics.

 

I love the 65 body and use it for many of my hybrids. Posing is my priority and I think this is the major pro. I also love the graceful hand position, the bust is pretty and the potential for shrugging shoulders.

Cons: the upper body often wants to tilt below the bust and sometimes the elbow bends back due to the wonderfully poseable elbows. Also the hips and rear are larger than most 62-65cm girls so I use stretch pants/shirts or Dollshe 26F bottoms.

 

That's super helpful thank you, I assume it's a similar case to my Iplehouse and Impldoll girls so I wasn't too worried about big hips.

 

I've had all of Supia bodies and in my opinion, the 60cm double joint is the best for posing. I sold my 65cm body in the end as I preferred the 60cm one.

 

I think I'm going to get my first resin 1/3 girl, and I love so many Supia sculpts! I'm thinking of getting Sarah, but I'm not sure whether to get the DJ 60 or ballerina. It seems to be personal preference, as some people are strongly for/against one or the other. Just makes it harder to decide lol!

I'm also trying to decide skin tone I like Milk Brown and Light Rose Brown. I haven't seen any pictures besides on the Supia site of Light Rose Brown, so if you have one, please share!

 

I believe on Supia's Instagram they have more resin comparison with those tones.

 

That's helpful to know as well, thanks!

 

The Ballerina body is absolutely beautiful, but it can be awkward to get it into sitting poses, I keep my girl on a stand because I sometimes struggle to get her to hold a sitting down pose. I also have the double joint and I much prefer that one for posing, but both are super beautiful aesthetically

 

I’ve seen that the ballerina body tends to need restringing or sueding, both of which I have never done and makes me nervous! I believe I saw the ballerina body also has wider hips too, I suppose if that’s harder to find clothes for.

 

It is a smaller selection of items for clothes but there can be workarounds.

 

I've sueded mine and it does help a lot. I will take comparison photos later of both bodies for you, the hips are wider and has bigger butt so it's bottoms that are harder to find, however I find a lot of dresses that are not tight fitting work

 

Thank you so much! I would really appreciate that!! I did find some comparison of the bodies on the IG, but it was only from the front. I couldn't find any comparisons of the bust size.

I pulled the trigger a few minutes ago actually and got a Sarah in Light Rose Brown on the ballerina body. I wouldn't mind still seeing the comparison though, in case I fall in love when she's here and want a second one lol...

 

Oooh congratulations! You will love her and I'm sure you will want more I have three so far and one on order

Here are the comparison photos, NS Rosy is Ballerina and Tan Rosy is 60cm double joint.

Also, while I took those photos I took some showing the "quirk" or "trick" to getting the Ballerina body to sit. Hopefully this is helpful



When you bring the legs forward, make sure the elastic goes in between these "grooves?" (Not sure on the word lol)

Spoiler

The legs have this indent that you need to bring the legs froward more and lock it into position, see next photo to see what I mean




Doesn't look the most aesthetically pleasing but this is how to get the body to hold a sitting pose




Also, tilt the torso forward to stop her falling back. I put some low temp hot glue suede on this joint to help hold it in this position

Thin layer of hot glue (low temperature glue gun) around this joint

 

@eihpos29

Thank you so much for the photos and help! You can really see the differences in your pics, and it actually surprised me how different they look in the torso area. Since I was having a hard time deciding on skin tone, I'm sure I'll want to try out the DJ body next with either Sweet Blue or Milk Brown I SUPER appreciate the sitting tutorial with photos, and the sueding. tysm

I'll make sure to post pics of her when she arrives. 90 days will be horrendous to sit through but she'll be worth it!!

 

You're welcome! Ooh I'd love to see the blue resin, it's quite new so I've not seen any owner photos yet.

Can't wait to see your girl

 

Got my beige 65cm Hamin with smoky makeup & added face paint today!
I keep her in the "elf ears" as she's now my 70's hippie elf.

Adorable!

 

She is so super cute! I love the style and expression with all your elements.

 

wondering if anyone has a supia in rose brown? Is it a new color released this year?
