SWITCH Discussion ~ Part IX

Oh, I'm glad I could help! Hope your chair turns out nice!

 

Thank you! I hope the chair you're working on turns out great too! if you ever end up taking pictures of it, I'd love to see!

 

Hey guys! Simple request (I hope).

Does anyone have a female Shiho? Can you show me pictures?

 

I found one on Flickr , and Switch did put it on HD57 girl, but I think the width of HD57 is too small for Shiho.

 

Thank you! I have a 63cm body coming in. I hope it suits my girl, she's never been on a body since I got her in 2015. Poor girl.

 

Hi all I’m thinking to get the Taerin Eclipse head and I checked the other Taerin heads on Switch website, which was stated to be compatible with HD 57 girl body. Does anyone hybrid this head with a girl body? Just want to know the neck size and shoulder length. Thank you

 

Since TAERIN Eclipse is a new sculpt, it's imposible to hybird this head on girl body now.
I check the switch's website, It will be delivered from end of December.

 

I meant if anyone hybrid the previous Taerin heads with girl body. The head hole should be the same as previous Taerin heads right?

 

Sorry for my misunderstanding.
I did save a link from plurk.
Let me shortly translate for your reference, owner think taerin bijou's head is too big on SDGr girl, so she hybird it with SD16.

Taerin bijou and Taerin are 9 inch, TAERIN Eclipse is 8.5 inch. Eclipse might looks good on Gr girl.

 

@akimos thanks a lot. I’m planning tk get dhf big girl body 63cm so that should work. I’m just concerned about the neck size bc dhf girl body has neck size 9.3cm not 10cm

 

I’m on the fence about preordering Taerin Eclipse. He looks great with the company face up but the photos of the blank head look strange. The company face up is out of my price range. Do you think the head will look ok in real life? I’m an artist but I’m still new to doll face ups.

 

After I regrettably sold my Haji:R years ago (what was I thinking?), I recently traded an older head for a Yiho! They're similar enough to scratch that itch for the natural pout that Haji had The CoA says it's white skin, but it's also from 2013 so it's mellowed very nicely. The prior owner had it on a Soom cream white body, and I'm heavily leaning towards getting a Vings 68cm body for it early next year.

 

I’ve never owned any Switch head before and saw Taerin Eclipse by coincident, not fell in love at first sight but the head is kinda unique. I like the half open eyes that still show the eyes (unlike most sculpts you barely see the eyes) and the head has a wicked feeling about it. The sculpt doesn’t have the vampire feel to me, more like a wolf lady/man.
I already placed the order so I’ll see how I feel about the sculpt when it comes. If not I can always resell it since Taerin is quite popular. And I agree makeup fee is expensive even though it’s not that special imo so I ordered blank head. Just practice face up and you will be fine

 

Has anyone ever ordered Switch heads with makeup? How hard is it to get one? I remember Gyoha M selling out in a few hours (?), but then again, I have only been into Switch dolls for less than a year now and I’m not sure how popular certain sculpts are. I’m going to try and get myself a makeup version of Damhyeon C anyway

 

I'm suprised but Damhyeon C is still on sale with makeup!
I think they were selling Gyoha M in a really small number of heads. It was literally sold out in 15-20 minutes. Besides this incident, I have never seen heads with makeup going that fast, so I would say it's not hard to get makeup ones.

Now that you mentioned this, i wonder if anyone bought Gyoha M with FaithZ makeup. How was it? I would really love to see some pictures! (I bought mine without faceup and before FaithZ announced they would sell with that great makeup).

 

It seems like it depends on the head's popularity and the makeup too. I remember the makeup version of Ajeong C being available until the order period was over, if I'm not mistaken, but Damhyeon seems to have repeated Gyoha's case. I had to wake up at 5 AM (or 11:00 KST) to buy him with makeup! Powder Beige makeup option sold out in the first hour even though the company's website wasn't working during most of this time, and Milktea Rose sold out after a few more hours. The only makeup option available right now is for Rosy White. It seems like the quantity was limited for each colour. Ahhh, I reeeeally reeeeeaaaally want to buy Damhyeon C in Rosy White as well. I fell in love with this colour ever since I unboxed my RW Ryuzo a few days ago! It's absolutely stunning irl. But I can only hope that DamC gets re-released one day because I barely have money left for a MR body in my doll funds now.

Oh, I'd love to see some owner pics if someone ordered Gyoha with that makeup. Mine has a very quick and sloppy makeup done by me until the weather gets better so I can repaint him...

 

I have some heads with Switch makeup, but I ordered them when they were time-limited instead of quantity limited... It's been a while since I bought any Switch heads, so I didn't even know they'd changed the selling method!

I have a Uhui:R head that I ordered with FaithZ faceup. It's not exactly the same as the official pics, which is to be expected since it's not done by the original artist, but I think it's close enough.

Here is my Uhui:R with FaithZ faceup. (The beauty marks in the official pics are slightly smaller and fainter.)


And here are more samples of the FaithZ artist's work.

 

@namika - he's so cute! i didn't realize they went for the company look for some sculpts

i have a Gyoha D and a Soseo with FaithZ's artist faceup. i chose the "dramatic" make up version i think at the time, but there was also a very subtle one offered, like A & B choices.

i really love Gyoha's look and the frosted blue above his eye. he looks pretty great in a grey wig too.

Soseo, though, has been difficult to get the right wig. here he is with a ginger one. i wish his eyes were a little softer, so i might change his eyelashes to a tone closer to his eyebrows. apologies for the bold label, i prepared it for another purpose, but i cannot get to him right now for a new photo he's packed away. i really like that both of them have freckles.

Spoiler: Soseo

 

@Grimalkin Thanks! And I love your Gyoha’s faceup! He’s gorgeous!

 

Wow! So again, it was hard to get that wonderful makeup Damhyeon! Although I was considering getting him, I'm saving up for Sohwa, so I had to give up on him.

I know what you mean staying up until 5 AM, I have to be up until 3 AM if I want to buy something from Switch.

I love rosy whites, too. I have a Huisa D and a Hwayeon in that colour (with my sloppy makeup). I think they have this elegant feeling around them.

Namika, Grimalkin, thanks a million for the pictures! I love your cute Uhui:R and that handsome Gyoha! And Soseo looks great in that ginger wig!
