SWITCH Discussion ~ Part IX

Ahhh, he's stunning! The last picture is perfect.

I would probably like to have someone from Switch some day, but the problem is that most of their heads fit bodies taller than my size limit (about 62 cm). So maybe someone could help me and say which of their dolls fit smaller bodies?

 

Yiwon, Taerin, Sanhong and Choyo fit 60 cm bodies. Taerin Eclipse is shown on a 60 cm Attractive boy body on promo photos if you want to check for proportions!

 

Oh, thank you, I'll check! My favourite molds are Damhyeon and Hwayeon though, but I suppose they're not an option size-wise

 

Most likely. 65 cm is as small as they can go body-wise.

 

Well, I'll keep that in mind, maybe some day I decide this size is OK!

 

Just putting this out there, but depending on your esthetics, there are chunkier bodies that work with the larger heads. I rotate heads out on an SD13 body, and most look decent. Currently I have a Soseo on the SD13 until he gets his own body, and the proportions are not bad at all~

 

Oh, which body do you have him on?
I like slender bodies though.

 

Literally, a Volks SD13 body. I prefer a lot of slender bodies, and I love 65cm+, but these bodies still look really good, especially clothed. To be fair, I have much older ones and color matching isn't a problem for me, but wanted to be sure to mention it as a shorter alternative for some of the larger heads.

Edit: Adding a picture~ Haseo on left, Soseo on Volks SD13 on right~ (with non-permanent cosplay, lol)

Seolrok Holy has a more open mouth and comes with teeth parts I believe. Seolrok Hiver doesn't have separate teeth parts. They're sculpted as part of the mouth.

I'm a little tempted to get regular Seolrok since I'm quite fond of the sculpt and have a Seolrok Hiver but I kind of wish they would make a version with a more closed mouth. I've already got more open-mouthed sculpts than I thought I would ever get.

 

Thank you so much! That's very good to know, because I just found the perfect excuse to get an open-mouthed doll, and especially a Seolrok one day. I would like to make a beauty with blackened teeth from the Heian period. And I think there's no such thing as too many open-mouthed dolls. They look so lively, they probably make wonderful photo subjects, if you're into photography.

 

My Rion head with the Arza faceup showed up at my door yesterday. I didn't receive an email about my order being shipped at all so this is a pleasant surprise. I bought a DF-A 68cm body that seemed to fit okay. The neck area is juuuust a bit tight. I'm super happy

 

Omg congrats he's gorgeous! Love the way you styled him I went and checked my order (I bought a Switch body so I expected it to take longer) and it looks like mine shipped without a notification as well, but it's already arrived to my country

 

Thank you very much! I hope your Switch body arrives very soon!

 

I'm so out of touch in the bjd hobby for a long time, I've been moving and then I'm getting ready to move again with my bf and I haven't been able to catch up. I just recently got Ving bodies for my switch boys, I haven't gotten the chance to get them out and test them but I'll definitely post pics when I do!

 

Oh, haven't thought about Volks Thank you for the photo, the hybrid looks good, although I should think over the proportions.

 

You're welcome~ Anything to help! ^_^

 

Confusing status about my Ryuzo head: "preparing for shipping" but the '3 months' box is highlighted.
Does that mean 3 months before he will ship? What an odd way to post info.
Can someone clarify? Thx a bunch.

 

And which ones, the 68 cm or the 70 cm?

 

If you had bought it in May, especially with faceup, then it will take around 3 months to ship.
Switch always gives an estimated delivery date, just scroll down on Ryuzo's page to the end of the pictures and you will find it (the "my orders" page is completely confusing). I think for Ryuzo, it was given to be the beginning of September, so you can expect the package around that time. Hope it helps!

 

@Kurichan - thanks so much for the info. have some cake:
