Xaga Doll Discussion

Alright, I will do that, thank you very much!

 

My boy from Xaga Doll - XingYe in WS
He is soo pretty!

 

@SugarFirefly Would you be willing to take full body nude pictures of your boy's front and back from straight on? The promotional pictures don't really show those.

Also are his shoulder measurements really 12.5cm, and his neck 10.5cm?

 

Howdy y'all! I don't have one yet, though am seriously considering trying to get one.
I absolutely love how beautiful the Version II bodies look for their 1/4 sizes, they're so wonderfully sculpted and appealing!
I will probably order through Alice's Collection, since that seems like a good way to go about it

 

Hi

I got a Xaga Doll Maltose in white with smaller chest for x-mas.

The skin is so translucent that I cannot use blue putty on her eyes, but it is okay- white putty exists. It's also quite luminous- I can 100% pick her out in a dark room. She's very different in feel and color to my Impldoll. Also she is so tiny! I love her so much Q_Q

An issue I am facing is clothing. I can make them, but I don't draft patterns. I can say that MGA Rainbow High fashion dolls comes the closest that I know of, but they are too loose in the top, even though the bottom fits beautifully. She has a bubble butt and those have really wide hips, so it all works out.

I've been trying to find BJDs with a similar build, but I am new to the hobby and don't yet know all the abbreviations. I saw that people said these were SD dolls, but when I looked that up, the list of abbreviations here says SD is a whole other doll brand???

I'm guessing that SD is used as a term to standardize size- like how kleenex means the same as tissue in the USA, is that correct? If I am off, would anyone be able to point me toward clothes patterns that will fit a Red Obsidian Xaga doll well?

 

@missycheese SD stands for Super Dollfie, Volks' trademark name for their line of 60cm plus ball jointed dolls. But as you've surmised over the years SD has also become a catch all size term for almost all BJD's in this size range. However, it looks like the red obsidian Xaga dolls are in the 1/6th size range so you definitely don't want to get any patterns or clothes labeled as for SD size dolls.

 

Another tricky part is that SD/MSD/yoSD generally refer to only the height of the dolls and not necessarily their proportions (hence terms like slim minis and mature tinies existing), so it's important to check the measurements on any pattern or clothing article before buying--and things like differently sized busts have a pretty large impact.

You can get a lot of mileage out of clothes that use stretchy materials or have gathers, of course. Patternless garments that are constructed based on measurements are also helpful (lomi's playground on youtube has a few really nice tutorials on these, and there are a few other famous ones out there like 5th atelier's circle dress).

 

Oh gosh, I just searched clothes that fit Xaga dolls and went in that search result, I didn't even realize this was the large doll forum, whoopsie.

Thank you, Cloudedmind, for the conformation, it helps clear up a lot of confusion for me.

VanishedEra, thank you as well, I'll check them out

 

Hi! It seems that Xaga Doll is not really popular here, and that's too bad, because I was really pleased with their doll. So I share my Zoe. And I plan to do a posing review of their 63 cm boy body, if someone is interested.

 

Of course we're interested! Xaga makes beautiful dolls! I have mostly smaller Xaga dolls.

 

Well, I made the review. I hope someone will find it useful.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do that!

 

I'm kinda in love with Macula's head sculpt but I just want the head. He's so pretty and cute but I don't really like the Xaga body or the way its joints look.

 

I think it's worth asking whether they would sell only the head.

 

I was thinking that but would it be through a dealer or from the AsleepEidolon/Xaga website, hmm. I've seen some in stock heads at dealers' sites but I dunno how often companies take requests.

 

I bought mine through a dealer, so I don't have experience buying from their website. To me it seems like Chinese companies are generally more flexible in that matter, but of course every company has their own policy. But since they also have a color option that's supposed to be like Volks' normal, I think they probably expect that some costumers want to make hybrids with their parts.

 

Yeah, that does seem to be the case.
I had asked back in February through customer chat on the AEdoll/Xaga site about having a sleeping head added on since I already had an order for a regular doll, but it seems they don't sell them separately like that, without the body to go with it. I don't really want to spend on a body I don't need just to get a sleeping head, no matter how cute

Spoiler: chat history

But since I didn't order directly through them, I suppose maybe I should have asked on Alice's Collection since that's where I did order? Not sure if it would make a difference if THEY were to ask for it instead, but probably not.

 

Well, that's unfortunate. I also thought about buying another head to have a different face up, but then it seems I'll have to pass.

 

My Rex's outfit came in so I'll be able to share him here once he's ready.
Here's hoping SOOM Idealian clothing will fit and he won't drown in it

 

So happy the outfit fits him
