SWITCH Discussion ~ Part IX

@chenedelic If you have your heart set on a body and head with smaller neck hole, you can try the 'hot water' method(aka boil the head) for it to fit instead of sanding. That is what I did to put my switch head on a dollshe 18m body. The biggest downside is mobility but at least it's reversible...

@Sasha of the Crows I especially like the torso and I'm happy they kept the female hands. The waist is so pretty like volk's sd16 girls I've never been keen on 'straight' legs though, so I'll have to stew on a decision to buy...

@eihpos29 A company that comes in that color is Vings. They have variety of resin colors. I also remember a lot of people saying that Doll Family can match if you ask them.

 

Thank you so much!

 

I ordered Kaien from Faithz with their faceup using layaway. Very excited to get him!

 

Dollits DAD light brown skin is compatible with milktea rose. I don't own one myself, only saw pictures on twitter.
I am not sure, but Luts might be another choice. Anyone has any experience with it?

 

The photos I posted earlier show Dollits Light Brown and Switch Milktea Rose skin from 2019 (Soseo head) and 2022 (Ryuzo head and HD70A body)! Light Brown seems a bit darker than Milktea Rose but a face-up will probably fix it.

 

Is anyone able to confirm whether or not the Labyrinth body is a replacement of the Type B body? Unlike the Type B prototype, the Labyrinth release is just the Type A body with a flat chest so it would be really disappointing if there isn't going to be a Type B release. I really liked the wider chest and waist measurements, but I might have to settle for Labyrinth if I have no other option.

 

@aestellica According to Switch this is the Type B body they showed two years ago. But checking the previous measurements of the Type A & B bodies against the ones listed for the Labyrinth and HD64 girl body the waist measurements are 1cm smaller for the current versions of the bodies. However, the shoulder measurements haven't changed. The Labyrinth body still has wider shoulders then the HD64 girl body similar to the Type B verses the Type A body.

Also, proves I wasn't crazy on the waists looking smaller. >_>

Yeah haha , I went through the same process of checking and even from the photos it's clear the chest and waist were wider (and the measurements in the prototype confirm that), and the joint for the Type B chest was also different from Type A (the arch is less dramatic than A), whereas now the chest joint is the same as the Type A joint.

Totally disappointed that Switch considers this the same body since the look is far less androgynous, but I guess I'll have to take what I can get in the end. Thanks for confirming this to me!

 

@aestellica You're welcome! But, yeah the body isn't going to work for the character I originally had in mind, but I do still like the body. I'm thinking of just getting it with the Huisa Direction head.

 

Edit: Nevermind about the coupon, I went ahead and ordered successfully

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for jointed hands that would work with the 65 attractive body in milktea rose? It doesn't seem like Switch sells them, so I assume another company makes them and color matches?

 

Would you all think a 65cm body be too weird for Kaien head?

 

On Switch's website, it lists their own 65cm bodies as compatible for Kaien, so I would assume it would look alright. Or were you thinking of a different company's 65cm body?

 

I was thinking of DFH actually! Most of my boys are 75cm and Kaien was supposed to be a shorter character.. but I’m worried 65cm would make him look like a bobble head and too small against the other boys.

 

I think he’s about the same size as Ryuzo/Doha? So he’ll probably look a bit funny on a 65 cm body. The shoulders might look a tad too narrow.

 

I see 70cm it is then! Thank you for your input!!!

 

Sorry for the double post, but does anyone have any experiences with a 12cm neck? Kaien's (21cm) head was suggested a 11.2 cm neck.. Would 0.8cm be a big difference ;__;

Or would a 10.5cm neck be better?

If anyone has any reference photos, it'll be greatly appreciated!!

 

it depends on the neck hole design, usually i suggest to keep the tolerance at around +-0.5cm with official figure.
if the neck is larger than that hole, you will see a bump there.

 

I see, thank you for the input!!

 

Sorry if this has been asked before I searched but nothing came up
So I managed to find a mocha brown head I've been looking for a long time but the problem is I can't see mocha brown HD body as an option on the switch website... why is this? Is it a seasonal color? When should I expect to see it again? I'm not really a fan of hybriding.
