5StarDoll Tinies Discussion Part 4

Oct 14, 2016

    1. Wow! That's a pretty cool wig, Geo-Earthling. But, it looks like it's a bit much for him. Definitely needs a trim. (Though, he kinda looks like a little white lion, the way it is.:kitty2)

      LOL! So, the Quintus sculpt is starting to tempt you, huh? It is a tempting sculpt. Here's my 5Star Quintus and Jesse. (Love those little vampire teeth!)

      Angel (Quintus boy) and Drusilla (Jesse girl)
      [​IMG]
       
    2. The color and style suit him, but agree that it needs to be trimmed up a bit :3nodding:. I really like him in tan the more I see him. Quintus really is a beautiful sculpt and you wouldn't be sorry if you decide to purchase one.
       
    3. Wow, I was leaning toward a girl character, but Quintus makes a really cute boy. Your Angel such a handsome little fellow!!! I'm such a sucker for vampires, haha! Are they brother and sister?

      [​IMG]
      So I gave William's hair a tiny trim, I'm just so hesitant. I put aloe-vera gel in it to define the curls better and maybe help promote some shrinkage. Also, his 13mm masterpiece eyes came in! I'm in love with them, they defiantly added a sort of realism to him, and helped him look less of a goblin, haha.

    4. -creeps out of her lurking-

      So many cuties... Hi there! I've been meaning to come out of hiding for a while, but I guess I was prompted by seeing so many of your new littles. I wanted to ask which Star10 body most of you have? I've had an Amy for years, she's blank (still) because she was a gift with my Tumnus (to give you an idea of her age!) and I love her but I've never quite liked her tiny hands. But yours all look so cute, I've been tempted to ask 5star whether I could order just the hands from a Star10 body to put on my little pre-Star body or whether I should just buy a whole new body for her. She's on the old Tiny body with the three-part torso.

      Here's my little Amy, I want to get her a Tong Tong as a friend... Dropbox - 2016-03-18 10.18.05.jpg

    5. Amy is such a cute sculpt - I like the new body with the larger hands, but that is just a personal preference. I have both and the smaller hands really don't bother me that much. 5Star is very accommodating and I wouldn't be surprised if they let you order just the hands - you may want to ask them if they will fit properly on the older body. Glad you came out of hiding. Hope to see you post more.

      Geo-Earthling I love Aiden's new eyes!!!! They really add a lot of personality. He is adorable!!!!!
       
    6. Geo-Earthling, the new eyes look wonderful! They have such warmth and depth. They are a perfect compliment to his lovely tan skin.

      About Angel and Drusilla, they are chibi versions of characters from the old t.v. show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Angel is the vampire who sired Drusilla. So, in essence, Drusilla is Angel's childe.

      Welcome to the thread, Nyara! Glad you came out of lurking mode! The more the merrier! :dance

      I have an ancient TongTong and Rex that had those horrid tiny hands! Ugh! When I placed an order for another 5Star doll, I asked if I could buy replacement hands for both of them, and 5Star agreed. The new hands fix the older bodies perfectly. If you order a new TongTong, it would be easy to ask for an extra pair of hands for your Amy.

      Personally, I wouldn't buy your doll a new body, the older 3-part bodies are very nice.

      Again, welcome to the thread! No need to lurk anymore; we're very friendly! :hug:

    8. They look adorable - love Amy's coat.
       
    9. Thanks. It's from Dollmore (Narsha size). I think Amy is one of the cutest dolls ever!

      Happy New Year!
       
    10. I agree with you about Amy :) Happy New Year to you and your family too!
       
    11. stellarphenomena, your Amy is darling! They both look so sweet in their winter-wear!

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      :fangirl:Happy New Year everyone! :sumomo:

    12. That is such a cute coat! They're both adorable though. ^_^

      And thanks, @Merlin's Mom and @Rabbit-moon! I do think I'll try asking about the hands, I love the Tiny body otherwise but I've just always been bothered by the hands, personally. I had the same issue with the too-small hands on my Super boys, ended up replacing those with hands from other companies before the new Star20s were released.

      I really need to give my Amy a face-up, but it wasn't that long ago that I wanted her to be a redhead like her mother and then I tried that short blonde wig on her and it was just too cute... Hopefully that's her final wig and I can base her colouring on that.

    13. Aw they look so cute! Your Amy looks so cozy and her wig color loooks amazing on her. The little one stole my heart too. Baby blues are my weakness and the boots just look so cute! :blush
       
    14. Thank you. I love Amy too! The little one is Angell-Studio RongRong.:3nodding:
       
    15. Yeah, hands are a deal-breaker for me. Too-small hands on a doll drive me crazy! I got an early 5Star 1/3 Edmund, and I didn't realize how small the hands were. I changed them out immediately with a pair AOD big ol' man-hands.

      Can't wait see what your Amy looks like when you are done with her! Be sure to post pictures!
       
    16. Funny you should say that - I put AOD hands on my Angelo, too! (My Tumnus has clawed jointed hands from Doll Legend, being a demon.)

      I will!
       
    17. Oh! I remember you now, Nyara! You have a grey 5Star Tumnus! Funny that you landed up using AOD hands, too.

      If you are curious to see how those hands look on my Edmund, here's a link to my posting in the SD thread:
      5stardoll Supers

      I'm so glad 5Star finally got the "tiny hands" issue resolved with their 1/3 and tiny dolls!

      Oh! And, so this is still tiny relevant, here's a photo of my 5Star 1/6 Maggie and Jessie. (Those two are as different as night and day.)

      You can see the difference in their arms and hands, since they are different 26cm bodies. Maggie is on the New Generation body, and Jessie on the original. Granted, the hands and arms are more elegant on Maggie, but it lacks the poseability of the original arms. Jesse can touch her face if I want her to; Maggie cannot.

    18. Brantley (changed his him, since learning Willie means something different in UK) decided to steal his sister's wig for a picture. To bad his unruly khaki hair color is canon :eusa_naug.
      [​IMG]

      On other notes, now that I got to play around with the new body, I'm disappointed. It's nearly impossible to have him sit since his body is arched backwards. I don't like using the little lip in his back because it looks kinda thin. Also the posing is very very limited. :sweat Atleast it's cute to look at... even though he's always wearing clothes...

    19. Geo-Earthing he is so adorably cute it makes up for his limited mobility. I love him in the tan color.

    20. Oh Geo-Earthling! He's looks perfectly adorable! What a little cutie he is! You are making me want an Aiden more and more!

      Sorry to hear you are unhappy with the body. Are you talking about the New Generation 26cm body? The one with the wide hips and single joints? Cause, I totally agree with you, if you are. That body is a disappointment. But, my 5Star Maggie is so cute, that I'm trying to over look the shortcomings of that body. If I order another 5Star tiny, I will be very specific about wanting the "old" body, and not the New Generation body.

      But, as Merlin's Mom said, his utter adorability makes up for his limited mobility. :chibi

    21. Yea they put him on the new generation 26cm body. :sigh But, thanks guys, maybe hot glue sueding would help alot? Has anyone tried it? I'll do it over the weekend when I have time. Fingers crossed!:eusa_pray
       
    22. Geo-Earthling I haven't tried glue sueding - let us know how it turns out.

      I finally decided a name for my poor faceless Bat Boy - he seems to like Bastian. I am still contemplating trying a basic face up, but will give him eye lashes for sure if nothing else. He found a motor cycle jacket in my stash of clothes and seems quite happy with it. I think I took it off a Harley Davidson bear at some time.
       
    23. Merlin's Mom, "Bastian" is a good name! I like it!

      I love the Bat Boy sculpt! He's such a cranky looking little guy. He'll go great with your Quintus girl, don't you think?
       
    24. I really do like him, just wish they would have let me know he was being sent as the gift and given me the option for a face up. I am leary of trying to do one myself, but the poor baby needs something. He fits right in with Hester, Puck and Prudy.
       
    25. I actually have to try and fit the seuding in next weekend. Too busy :sweat

      I LOVE that name for him! The bat boy is such a cute cute sculpt. Almost like a kid who got put in time-out haha. Good luck with the face-up if you do it!:thumbup
       
    26. Thank you Geo-Earthling - it is funny how these dolls choose names, and if you choose the wrong one they seem to tell you that it isn't right. I am leary of trying a face up, but the poor boy needs somethin :sorry
       
    27. I was looking at Denver dolls and I never realized before there were 2 body types for the star10 dolls could someone explain the difference for me? Thanks a bunch
       
    28. A is older and has 3 pieces torso and probably double jointed, I may be wrong. B is newer version and two pieces torso and most likely single jointed. Take another closer look at the picture, you can see the torso are different.
      I have 5stardoll SD and MSD, the older body is not very well engineered but the newer ones are improved. The MSD used to be double jointed but changed to single jointed with new body.
      Ordering from 5Stardoll straight would be more advised due to faster shipping time and if you're in America, the shipping fee would most likely be included in the price.
      I never ordered thru DDE and do not know how it works but assumes you have to pay the shipping fee from them to your house.
      I ordered from 5SD 3 times and never had to pay shipping fee and I live in Alaska.

    29. Oh wow really I'll definitely have to order from Denver doll I live in Canada lol
       
    30. OMG! :aeyepop: Has anyone seen the new 5Star site? They have totally revamped it!
       
      • x 1
    31. OMG - just went to look - Love Anna and Peter, but it appears there is now only one body for the Star5 and the Star10 dolls. The new generation for the Star5 (which is single jointed) and the 2 part torso for the Star10 which is the one with the smaller hands I think. I wonder if they did that to keep costs down. Peter is just too adorable and I am still hoping to get Tong Tong and Bibi.

      Edit - just went back to the site and unfortunately they are not offering all the different resin colors either - just normal and white for the standard dolls - looks like Aiden Family still comes in different resin colors though. I was hoping to get Bibi in tan - oh well :(

    32. Merlin''s Mom: How funny! I had plans to get Bibi in tan, too!

      Anna and Peter are very cute. Wouldn't mind adding either one of them to my crew, but I'll have to take a pass if the only body being offered is the New Generation body.

      Right now, I'm not loving the new site. It seems like they totally cut down on a lot of options that were once available to their customers. I'm hoping that because the site/changes are so new, more options will be added back at a later time.
       
    33. I checked out the new site. Not too happy that my account that I've had with them for years is no longer there but it does appear that this new site is a work in progress. Very bare bones right now. Let's hope things improve.
       
    34. Wow, I was just on their site yesterday or the day before. So different!

      They've always been very receptive to personal requests for resin colors. I hope they still are. I have more tans and greys than white and normal.

      Did you see the button for free shipping for orders over $199????????
       
    35. Yes they are having a special going and I guess there will be a free doll for a certain amount, but no photo of the free doll yet. I hope the site is still a work in progress and they will add the other bodies and resin colors. For now I think I will wait and see.
       
    36. I love 5stardoll tinies! I own aiden5 [​IMG]hope I can get an aiden body for another doll sometime!

    37. Ikez, your Aiden is very cute! He does have puppy dog eyes!
       
    38. How cute! Did you make the ears and nose? He makes an adorable puppy!
       
    39. Ugh! The representative for 5Star said in the DOA News Thread that grey and tan are no longer offered. What terrible news!

      And, on the new site, Aiden-10 is no longer offered with his beast arm, paw, and tail! And, Aiden-5 and Yami are also no longer available in their lovely moon grey and lavender; only normal and white. :?

      Wow! What is the deal? I do wish companies would give their customers a heads-up when they plan to make big changes. At least to give the customer a chance to buy a tan doll, or whatever, before they decide to discontinue it.
       
    40. Thanks! I used Snapchat for the ears and nose :)

      Thank you!

    41. I am agreeing with you Rabbit-moon - a heads up would be really nice. I may not be ordering any new dolls from them - I think Anna and Peter are very cute, but I would want the original body and not the new generation body. I will have to think about Bibi and Tong Tong.
       
    42. Miss S looks very small. She takes 8mm eyes. I wish 5stardoll would let us know when they're changing everything. They did that a couple of years ago after the summer event. A bunch of dolls disappeared with no notice. I regret not putting in a big order that summer........
       
    43. Love the new dolls, Anna seems a little Sister to Amy, she is really cute!! But I am not sure about New body, I love my Vivian but I don't know if I will buy another one.
       
    44. Yes, Merlin's Mom, sadly I feel the same way, too. I seriously don't see myself buying anymore 1/6 dolls from 5Star, if the only body available is the New Generation body with the single jointing.

      And, frankly, I think the New Year's Event is lacking, too. Am I the only one who thinks "Miss S" is kinda funky looking? I was hoping they would have the usual event where if you buy $300 dollars worth of dolls, then you get to pick an extra doll! I was hoping for this next event, I'd take the plunge and order: Aiden-10 in red resin and Bibi in tan resin, and then I could get Amy as the free event doll. Looks like that's not gonna happen. :...( Dang! So much for best laid plans!

      Same here Gherkin! There were a couple of 5Star 30s that I really wanted, but suddenly they were gone. A little announcement about discontinuing sculpts would have been nice.

      I think we're all feeling that way right now, Derdre. The new dolls, Peter and Anna, are very cute. But, that new single-jointed 26cm body is a deal-breaker for me. I really liked the double-jointed body! (I want more joints, not less!)

    45. Eeeek! I also just noticed on the new site that the 26cm sculpt Jesse is gone! :ablink:

      I know he wasn't a very popular sculpt, so I'm not too terribly surprised that he's disappeared. But, I love my little Jesse, and I'm so glad I got her before she got consigned to discontinued doll oblivion.

      Here's my Jesse-girl, Drusilla.:aheartbea She needs a hug.

    46. I was also thinking of getting Jesse as a girl to go with Hester - I am very disappointed in 5Star right now. I also am not impressed with MissS, but then the outfit they have her in is ugly and she may be cuter in an appropriate outfit.
       
      • x 1
    47. Oh! What a bummer! The Jesse sculpt would have been so cute with your Hester.

      Wow! Actually, I've never seen a BJD company take such a step backward as 5Star has done. Usually a company looks to improve their sculpts and the poseability of their doll bodies. I can't help but feel like this is a bad sign. (I hope they decide to put the double-jointed 26cm bodies back up on their site. And, the tan resin option, too!)

      I guess I might have been a little harsh on the little event doll, Miss S. Seriously, I couldn't get past that ugly outfit they have on her. (But, I'm still not interested in her.)

      I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens with all these changes.
       
    48. Is the faceup and sculpt for the special release Nancy and the regular Nancy the same? The pictures have different resin colours and wigs and lighting but are they the same?
       
    49. I have both and they appear to be the same. I think Nancy is one of the prettier dolls with more of a smile and not dower look to her.

      Edit - oops my mistake both of mine are the special release Nancy - her face up is more gentle looking than the basic release. Sorry for the error.

    50. No problem looks like I'm getting the special release if I can could you attach some pictures of her?
       
    51. I don't have one in her original outfit and I am not the best photographer, but hopefully this helps - this one is white skin. Photobucket is being a pain - I really need to go add free! [​IMG]

    52. Congrats Aara on your decision to get Nancy. She's adorable looking in her special fullset release!

      Wow! Merlin's Mom, your Nancy is so pretty! Thanks for the photo! Always a pleasure to see one of your crew!

      Well, I went through the News Thread again; it looks like the company rep answered everyone's questions, and it was encouraging that they will be bringing tan resin back after the NewYear's/Spring Event. Unfortunately, it looks like the old, 26cm 5Star-5 bodies are defunct, and not coming back. :...(

      Luckily, it looks like the double-jointed 30cm body for the 5Star-10 kids is still available, and that is what Bibi is. We still may be able to get Bibi in tan after the event is over.
       
    53. Rabbit-moon I am still hoping to get Bibi in tan and probably still Tong Tong in normal. I am wondering what is going on with them though due to the huge cut back in bodies and resin colors. Will see what happens after the event is over.
       
    54. I think maybe I should get one on Denver doll with the old body and get Nancy later on does anyone have some pictures of the regular Nancy and Amy? I'd like to compare them
       
    55. Was digging through my photos and found a good one i took when I borrowed a friends light tent. Still love 5stardoll after all these years!

      this is my gang:

      I just realized Vivian is missing. This was taken before I got her. Guess we need another family photo, she's my normal yellow.

    56. Gherkin, great picture! Your dolls look wonderful! :D

      I keep trying to guess which doll is which. A roll-call would be nice under the photo? Who is the grey doll in the back row on the left? Is that Batboy? And who is the cutie all-in-pink in the front row? So many beautiful dolls!

      And, yeah, I'm a little upset with 5Star because of all the changes, but I still love their dolls. I still have plans to get a Bibi and an Amy in tan, when the tan option is available again.
       
    57. I updated the photo with sculpts.

      My avatar is my tan Amy.

    58. Thanks Gherkin! I appreciate you adding the names! I always love to know what the sculpts are. And, your crew is awesome!

      Wow! A tan Bat Boy that is a GIRL! That is the first time I've seen a girl Bat Boy! She's looks amazing!

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      Well, I did it! :o

      After I read about all the changes with 5Star, especially the fact that Aiden would not be be available in his lovely moon-grey resin, and no longer have his beast arm & hand, I immediately went on-line to DDE and bought their last Aiden-5.

      He's so cute, and I feel so lucky that he was still available. I'm also ecstatic that he has the old 26cm body, which has been discontinued. He also arrived with an extra normal arm, incase I didn't want to use the beasty stuff.

      Meet my little "Zombie Joe". He'll fit in perfectly with my other 1/6 fantasy sculpts. (My Sunnydale crew now has a zombie, with a mutant arm! Yay!)

    59. Ohhhhh, so jealous of Aiden-5! He's such a unique color!

      I usually say batgirl for my little Jace but I didn't want to confuse anyone. She came with wings, horns and a trident.

    60. Aw omg, Your boy is so cute! His eyes look amazing in him! He brings back memories of the tv show Invader Zim, haha! Like a baby Zim! :D

      Wow, what a diverse crowd! Everyone has their own little style and personality. Your Rory sculpts are really cute, I never seen them before!

      Yay another Aiden! Lucky you got him on the old body haha. Zombie Joe is a really cute name; I'm so excited to see what you do with him! Can I request a picture of your Sunnydale crew if you have time? :kitty2
