Supia Girls Discussion Thread Part IX

@keara she is gorgeous! Love the new skintone and of course, that faceup! I honestly don't know of any other artist whose "default" faceups make me want to buy a whole 'nother doll just so I can have one!

I didn't have issues with the stringing on my ballerina body but I will eventually get around to sueding the waist joint also. And YES those ballerina feet are absolutely something else! I am not using them for my girl's character but probably will for a future doll...they're really too beautiful.

 

thanks @IngieBee and @Sandwich ! I'm super smitten with her She's been on my radar for years, super glad to have her home! Supia does make beautiful dolls

 

@keara She's gorgeous! Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing more of her on your insta!

 

@keara your Rosy is so pretty I definitely regret not ordering the new tans lol . I love the way you styled her.

 

@keara she's lovely! Beautiful color.

 

Did any of you get a shipping notification or EMS number whey your Supia shipped?

 

I'm trying to remember! I checked my gmail but didn't see anything...either it was filtered to spam (and later deleted) or I never got an email. I am almost positive I did get a tracking number though! I can't recall if it was simply sent to spam or if it was available when I logged in on the site to check my order status.

 

I got an email notification for my girl that shipped mid Aug! The title of the email was supiadoll - The Goods which <your name here> ordered is delivering.

 

I don't remember, but I think the order status updated on the website tipped me off cause I had been checking it regularly

 

Thanks everyone! I actually got a notification from DHL that I have a package coming My Supia should be here by next Wednesday

 

Thank you IngieBee

 

Oh awesome @krystina! I am especially looking forward to seeing Hael, another of my favorites. Did you get either with faceups?

 

Thank you Sandwich No and I’m regretting it lol. I’m going to be doing the faceups it’s been a while since I did face-ups- I’m a bit rusty

 

I got my Supia early and I’m loving the aesthetics of the ballerina body but I’m not loving the posing Is it normal for her joints to pop out when trying to sit the body or does that sound like a stringing issue? The belly joint pops out sometime - I think it might need a restringing(?) Also, is it recommended getting her sueded (hot glue only or with sueding material) or should I get it wired? I’ve never had a doll body this challenging before but I oddly love it I can’t wait for the weekend, Im hoping to attempt a faceup on the Ester sculpt.

 

@krystina I definitely have issues with mine sitting so my solution was just to slap her on a stand! I'm not the best problem-solver, unfortunately!

 

Lol!!!

 

I've had the belly popping issue with both Supia bodies I've had (the 60cm Ballerina and the 60cm DJ) Honestly, the Ballerina body is much better with the belly-popping (man that sounds...wrong?) than the DJ body, my DJ body did that CONSTANTLY, but moving the knot up into the chest helped quite a bit on both bodies. I'm not a fan of sueding my dolls, and I'm firmly anti-wiring, so bit of a bias

 

Thanks for the tip @Girrl I'll definitely try moving the knot up higher before trying anything else

 

For belly popping, sueding the waist joint helped a lot! It also helped her sit up straight (90deg). I'm usually not a fan of sueding either but the difference was hard to deny

I do agree it is a challenging body and I'm still getting used to her. But she does pose really beautifully~
