WITHdoll Mini Discussion Part 8

@Musume, Thank you! ^^
@vermont chick, thank you! I painted her. Oscardoll eyes are really pretty!

Derp, my Elf Knight Egon arrived already and I totally haven't gotten him clothes or shoes or eyes or anything and haven't owned an MSD in years so I don't even have anything spare lying around. >_>; (It's hard to pick stuff OK you get it and then the doll arrives and he's like nope I hate all of this get me something else.) He's gorgeous though, and I'm glad I picked the rose white resin because it's beautiful.

 

Priscilla and Ruby want to show off their new DollBakery Jelly eyes. Priscilla has Indigo Jelly and Ruby has Irish Jelly. I knew they would work because Egon is already wearing DB's Wisteria Jelly. Never thought I'd like eyes without pupils, but I love these! I think they solve the problem of Priscilla looking like a deer in the headlights in other eyes.


Congrats on receiving your Egon, @Ian-KunX. Would love to see photos once you get him put together. I don't think I've seen a doll in rose white yet.

 

Interim stuff. Random acrylic eyes he came with, a Monique Pretty Girl wig(Sadly with a dodgy hairline, need to get him a better one but it will do for now), and the overtunic from a Tonner outfit. The shirt and pants from it are on another doll already rofl, my OrientDoll Vampire Tae, so he can't steal them.

 

@vermont chick Your girls look beautiful in those eyes. Priscilla really doesn't look surprised anymore, now she's got a serious expression and it really suits her.

@Musume Your Coco is gorgeous! I love that wig and the overall color combination.

@Ian-KunX Oh your boy looks so cute and shy in this picture~

After months I finally found a dress for my Nameless, I wouldn't have thought that it would take so long to get something fitting.
Now I'm really happy with the end result.

@Musume Thank you very much! I'm glad you like her style
Now I'm just hoping that her purple eyes ship soon and don't get lost in the Christmas rush @.@

 

So I've bit the bullet and ordered an Aiden, a sculpt I've admired for years. He will be my first BJD, so I'm quite excited. Question for anyone who has an Aiden--what size wig and eyes does he take? I've done some research and I know that Withdoll's heads vary in size. From comparisons to other heads made at similar times, my best guess is that he will take a 7-8 wig and 12 mm eyes. I haven't found anything specific for that sculpt though so if anybody could confirm I'd be grateful.
Also, although I do plan on sewing for him I'd like to get him some clothes beforehand. Does anyone know if Withdoll corrected the body measurements on their site since I saw previously in the forum that they were incorrect? Someone did post new ones a couple years ago for the new body, I'll see if I can find that again too. Any clothes companies to suggest, particularly for pants?

 

Congrats on your order. ^^ Aiden takes a 6-7" wig like all the boys after Dante, I think. Not 100% sure on the eye size, but most junior withdolls take 12mm, so I'd probably go with that. 10mm is often good too, but they might gap in the corners.

The measurements on Aiden's site look about right. There's some 0,5cm variation on them vs. what I got, but that could just be the way they've measured the body. I'd guess most companies that make msd sized boys would have clothes that fit decently. But I really haven't bought any for mine, so I don't have any actual experience, sorry.

 

I'm so late to this party... But I did want to add that Real UV actually does sand rather nicely, better than tan generally does:

Even in person, there's no significant color difference where I took his toe off. But as mentioned, there's not any major seams on these guys, so I didn't do any overall sanding on him, only where I modded his foot.

 

Yay, just got the new Mako eyes I ordered for my Nameless and I love that purple color Now my cold undead beauty is finally complete

Nameless is very pretty. Too bad we can't actually see her eyes though. The downside of more closed eyes.

 

Oh thank you! And yeah unfortunately you can only see the lilac color, not the whole eye Now that I look at it again, it looks a little like pale blind eyes.
Like you said that's the drawback of nearly closed eyes. But at least her expression is worth it and you can see it in person

 

Happy New Year ^o^!!
Your girl is so pretty

 

I have no idea, but I kind of wish I had the budget (and patience!) to experiment and find out! I was actually fairly pleasantly surprised; I'd been gearing up for having to blush some scarring onto his foot to cover the sanding marks, but in this case I can just go with him having healed up suitably so there's no obvious scars.

 

Some good news for anyone who's waiting on any Withdoll orders-- my NS blank Aiden just came in today. I'm still not sure how this happened since I ordered him just 23 days ago but I am not complaining. I don't have any pictures now since the daylight is gone and he has absolutely nothing but I look forward to working on him. The quality and engineering from what I've seen so far is wonderful. The only "bad" thing (which was really just more unexpected) was that he does have some prominent seam lines, but nothing I'm worried about and nothing some sandpaper can't take care of. He was a complete surprise as I just checked his status yesterday and found he had already shipped. A good way to start the new year!
