It's on their instagram too. Kind of a combination of all their bodies with the torso looking very similar to the bigger girls.

I really need this body for my Larissa, but the problem is that I'd prefer her to be pale brown (as my other two girls are grey and rosy brown), but her head is limited and I can't get it in that tone. :/ She'll have to stay gray, I guess...

 

Ouch. I hope they have a different bust option that looks nicer than that one does. My favorite part of the old JWD bodies were the pretty breasts.

Double post because I realize how negative that sounds by itself.

I DO love that the girls are getting the cool hip jointing system the boys have, and thigh joints and double jointed knees are super exciting to see

 

Thanks for the links, @Yenna.

I must say I'm unimpressed with the bust. It will probably look good in a low cut dress, but without clothing it defies gravity. On the positive side, the poses are impressive. The butt flaps remind me of Iple's old JID girl body.

 

Ehhh, new body is not in my taste( hope that I will find a person from my country to split this doll...
Well, anyway, it's good that there are some news, I'm tired of empty promises so it's really good that there is a progress

Upd: well, sorry, I wrote such a negative post just because of emotions. Maybe the difference is only in weird bust, and they said in instagram:
> Thank you for your interest in our new JWD body. Many customers said they did not like that about the breasts. So we decided to modify the breasts shape.
I'm sorry, I just want head so so so much and my first impression was that I totally don't like this body, so they kinda force me to buy what I don't like..I hope so much that I will find an ability to split the doll.

 

@silent I would assume that the newer body would be possible to split, as there are people who do like it and might be looking to upgrade their Withdolls with older bodies onto the new body. And like you said, they are planning on modifying the large bust and they are also going to release a small bust option, so perhaps the body will end up looking better in your eyes after they reveal the new busts?

Personally I would've hoped that the body had wider hips and thicker thighs and that the torso joint was a bit lower at the waist, but otherwise I like the joints and the general shape of the body. Well, the breasts are a tad too squished together but they've already said that they'll be fixing that. I like how it has more thickness and shape in the arms and legs... the old body had such scrawny legs which I wasn't really a fan of. The neck is also thicker and the shoulders are wider, so some of their bigger and younger-looking heads, like Cathy, should look better on the new body, I'd say. I always thought that Cathy looked kinda bobble-headed on the old body so I put mine on a Supiadoll Minisup body (old version), which has a thicker neck and wider shoulders.

 

Hi! I have a question, and I hope this is the right place to ask it. I recently purchased a tan Withdoll Belun head, and I was wanting to modify it. I've heard that sanding tan resin can be bad, because the pigment is only on the surface layer of the resin, and everything under it is the original resin color. So, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this or if anyone knew how deep the pigment went. Thank you!

If I'm asking this in the wrong place, please tell me and I'll move it!

 

@Biofreak659 Currently, and for the last several years tan resin dolls have the pigment go all the way through. Even after all these years I'm surprised that this belief continues to persist. Although, I think I know why. I'm really not the best person to try and explain this, but I think the problem is that when people sand tan resin, and notice that the sanded parts are lighter they assume that the color doesn't go all the way through, but that's not true. The same thing happens when you sand any other colored resin including normal, it's just more noticeable with tan. And the reason for why we see this difference is due to light reflection. A smooth surface reflects light differently then a scratched or sanded surface, as both of those things (scratching or sanding) create micro abrasions, which causes any light that reflects off it to reflect in different directions. Smooth surfaces reflect light in the same angle and direction.Generally, completely sanding the doll evenly will either lessen or completely get rid of this difference in appearance.

 

I suspected this was the case (there's a lot of materials misinformation out there...) but I wanted to make sure before doing something irreparable to an expensive doll. Thank you so much for your response!

 

@Biofreak659 No problem! If you do a search for "Sanding tan" you should get some threads with more info, and suggestions. Here's one such thread, https://denofangels.com/threads/sanding-and-tan-resins.788877/.

 

@Biofreak659
I've sanded down the nipples on a brown tan uv girl from withdoll and didnt have a very noticable color change when I used a super high grit sandpaper. (granted she was much newer than the Belun sculpt so her resin type could be different)

Good luck!

 

@Biofreak659 if he's urethane tan, the sanded areas might become more noticeably different. The UV skintones handle sanding better even in the darker tones. I've sanded down the nipples and the top of the neck on my rosy brown girl (non-uv), which is one of their darkest resin tones, and the difference is pretty obvious. However, I didn't smooth it properly with higher grit paper (she's never shirtless, head covers the neck) so I don't know how much the situation could improve. So, regardless of urethane or UV, maybe test it out inside the head or something...

 

WITHDOLL on Instagram: “# 새로운 JWD 바디는 다음 주 월요일에 발매됩니다. New JWD Girl Body will be released next monday.”

Withdoll announced on Insta that they will release new body on monday.

The new busts they made after the feedback from the last teaser are still not as nice as the old body ones imo, but at least people have size options now.

 

@Biofreak659 Real UV isn't as dark as some of the resin colors, but still darker than NS; I have a boy in that color who, thanks to a mod, only has nine toes. There's basically no color difference on the modded foot.

 

Thanks for the link, @Alaia. I like what I see so far. I wonder if they will release a new head as well? I don't recognize the one in the photo.

 

I much prefer the old body in regards to the chest part, as I'm more of a fan of bodies with the joint at the boobs (Minifee, Luts' KDF Type 2) but I love everything else about it. It looks like it poses really well!

 

The new body is listed on WD's site with 4 breast sizes to choose from. I think I need to have one in hand before I can tell if I like it more (or less) than the original body. I don't see anything about the availability of heel feet. I'll be sad if there are none. The head sculpt they're showing on the body might be Rosa, but if so, it looks like she has a new faceup.

 

I'm super curious about the sculpt on this new body so I just take a look at their Instagram. They replied to the person who asked this question that they "will release her in a few days". I guess we will see the new girl soon! I've never had a girl doll but she makes me want to get her.

 

Now that they have a picture of the old and new bodies side by side I think I don't dislike it as much as I thought. The breast parts still dont seem as pretty but maybe thats because I don't have one in person to fiddle with. Looking REAL HARD at getting another Elf Emma since mine is a boy and they are offering Brown Tan for them again.

@vermont chick
They still list all the girls as coming with heel feet as well, so they probably kept them ^^

 

I'm glad they're putting the limited up again. I missed out ordering elf Ruby by a day last time...

 

Dropping in! The new body caught my attention. Hip joint looks super cool, and the bust type A through D is a lot of options. I was surprised to see the body is taller than the old version. I might have to take the time and build a spreadsheet comparing all the measurements of the old and new.

And the sale price seems really cheap?? I’m broke but I’ll lurk and live vicariously and hope to see happy owners in a few months
