ALL IpleHouse larger dolls -- EID, SID, YID, nYID, and hybrids! :)

Feb 23, 2014

    1. Currently, there are two threads for IpleHouse larger dolls, but those of us who have multiple doll sizes wind up bouncing back and forth, and often people who *don't* have dolls belonging to each group end up missing out on discussion of dolls that they might otherwise be interested in, because they aren't currently a part of their collection.

      IpleHouse nYID Discussion Part 5

      IpleHouse EID & SID Discussion Part 13

      I asked the mods' permission, and while they decided not to merge the threads, in order to allow people to stick with one-size threads if they wanted, they did say that I could make a combined thread for people who preferred to just discuss larger IH dolls as a whole.

      (To me, individual threads made sense when there were only a few of each type of doll, but since IpleHouse's Custom Doll System and homebrewed hybrids have allowed us to combine body types and heads not originally envisioned by IpleHouse, it seemed to be a good time to create a single thread where all large IH dolls/hybrids are welcome.)

      This is a Discussion thread, so we can only share one photo at a time, as per usual, but I'll kick it off with a photo of one of my own IpleHouse hybrids (EID head, SID body) -- my Aaliyah, Lacuna.

      I'm really looking forward to my NS nYID Chris arriving -- he's going to look AWESOME with my vampire/demon crew, and I think he'll fit in well with my SID gentleman, nYID-hybrid, and SID ladies (and get suitably towered-over by my EID Vamp!Aaliyah, because Vermillion is of the opinion that if she's not the tallest demon in the group, she's doing something wrong and needs to find bigger shoes! *grin*)

      -- A :D
       
    2. This is brilliant! I think it's a bit pointless to have SIDs and EIDs (the guys of which can't even swap heads!) in the same thread and nYIDs which are 100% compatible with SIDs switch-wise in a separate one, anyway ... so yay! Thank you for your trouble, Ashbet! :chocoheart
      (Also, go Lacuna ... someone needs to keep the gang in check ;))

      Adding to the new thread celebration spam with a (bad -.-°) pic of my current Iples (SID and nYID) :)

      [​IMG]
       
    3. This will be a good thread for ppl who pair up their EID men with YID gals, I'm thinking Daisy Dolls with her Jane Eyre pair ^^. Still think not merging is silly ... so we just need to make this thread the popular one! ^^
       
    4. Well, I have no nYIDs and only one SID, but I still think this thread is a wonderful idea. I hope to one day add nYID Oscar to my collection, though a large size girl will probably come first... if only I could decide on a sculpt!

    5. This is great, I'm so lazy to hunt around for different threads, and I love seeing the different sizes together! Here's Cherie, who I should sew more for--she was painted by Nanyalin and she is so cute!

      [​IMG]

      Oh, I forgot to mention that she is on a Cuprit/Amber body with hooves..:o
       
    6. Great to see this thread... but now, I am curious where I should post my question...
      I am looking for recommendations what an nYID boy might be able to wear? I found a few suggestions but I hope there's more?
       
    7. I agree! This thread will come in handy. For now I only have two JIDs, but am hoping to get an SID at some point this year. Many of you have already seen my Patrick. He is Real Skin, wears a Monique Ginger wig, and eyeco soft eyes. He is wearing Dollmore shirts and leather like jacket. I don't think that the Dollmore pants will fit him though as he has a big IH butt!!

      [​IMG]
       
    8. Would SD 13 stuff fit him? I was just on Sunny's world on Ebay and they had a lot of nice clothes for that size.
       
    9. This is my custom doll choice, EID Woman Aurora head with SID small bust woman body with NYID hands!

      [​IMG]
       
    10. That's a nice combination, PrincessPink! The NYID hands are so pretty!
       
    11. Fishcake. No probably not. Patrick is beefy and has a big butt/waist. More like SD 17, I think.
       
    12. Great idea............I have a nYID Erica on an SID body. And you're right, with CDS, there are so many combo's available now, that it's nice to have a place to share all the larger dolls.
      [​IMG]
       
    13. Ooh, yay! The "mixed" thread is live! Now I don't have to wonder where to post pics like this one, or to double post. Here's SID Shane with nYID Audrey:

      [​IMG]
       
    14. This dumb thread makes me want to spend my money on my nYID's way to early ><... (early for monetary reasons lol) ... MY planned nYID girls will be paired with EID's and SID's eventually. But that's not until late spring at the earliest! :...(... I need couple spam with nYID gals and the 'big boyfriends'. Pretty please with :bcupcake:pcake:truffle on top? ;)
       
    15. artisticadelle, good to see your lovely couple! And yay for your soon-to-be-ordered nYID Eddie! I am thrilled to see him in owner photos :thumbup

      No mixed sizes in my resin family yet, but I think a new picture of Mayree (Mari) would do to celebrate the new thread ;-)

    16. Ooooh, nice thread!! :D
      It's the perfect place for my pic request!
      I have been thinking about Eric since he came out, and decided that he will be next once my Grace is home.
      But I have been leaning more and more towards the nYID body for him, simply because it's less musclelly ;P
      I'm not sure if the head will look big on that body though, so I'm asking if someone could take some pics if the have a nYID Eric.
      And if you could snap a shot with him beside a SID woman for height comparison, that would be awesome :D
       
    17. I think this thread is a great idea :D And here's my nYID Rexy to pop in & say YO!

    18. When Mr. Grumpy (OMG, this name is STICKING, I need to come up with a proper name for him before he's all put together, LOL!) gets his body (he's an SID Vamp!Claude), I will be happy to take pictures of him with my only nYID girl, Carmine, my IH/LLdT hybrid. Right now, he's just a head and torso, so it's a little hard to get height comparison, hehe ;)

      Carmine says "Bring it on!"

      [​IMG]

      I'm delighted to see this thread taking off!! I'm looking forward to seeing some awesome head/body swaps and comparisons, as well as dolls who are already home -- it's going to be fun to see what we all come up with! :aheartbea

      Thanks for all the gorgeous photos, everyone!!

      -- A :D

      ETA:

      When my Chris arrives (whenever that winds up happening -- IH has been *busy* with the Addiction dolls and end-of-year event, although they seem to be keeping the shipping going, judging by the waiting list), I'll try some clothes on him -- I have 60cm and 70cm male dolls and variously-sized clothing, so I'll get him to do a bit of modeling :)

      I'm *guessing* that SD17 clothes are a good bet, but I'd need to have him in hand to be sure.
       
    19. Thanks for all the clothing tips!

      Sorry to be a bother, but I've got another request... could somebody show me a Peach Gold Skin doll next to one in Special Real Skin? I have a hard time deciding what I want... all I know is that the Normal Skin is too pale for what I want to order...
       
    20. Here's Real Skin Felix next to a Peach Gold Felix...photographed indoors under artificial light.

      [​IMG]
       
    21. okay now I am 100% sure my "favorite" resin is RS... but dang I had thought PG was too pink/peach. I was afraid the difference would be too much now I'm not so sure ><.... (I was eyeing a doll on MP but unsure due to the PG... this is not good for my wallet lol). The only thing is I'd have to have the makeup tone down the 'orange' of the lips (I like extreme subtle)... and wow love the twin Felix's ^^
       
    22. luluna- You might want to hide those lovely Felix guys especially the PG one, in case I am in your area. He is so dreamy ;)
       
    23. Wow, two gorgeous Felix guys! I've got a thing for blond boys with green eyes--yum!

      That said, I have found that both Real Skin and Peach Gold photograph lighter than they are in real life. The browner Real Skin looks more natural to me, but I had to sell both of my Peach Gold dolls. The color was way too pink--I couldn't stand it. In photos, though, it looks fabulous.
       
    24. Urgh, never mind, I can't seem to get photos to load on the mobile app without being horribly blurry or gigantic.

      I agree both the colours are much more beautiful in photos. Although I love the PG in real life too it is by far my favourite resin colour, I'm not too fussed about the RS in real life, but it does compliment the PG wonderfully.

      Edits: because apparently I can't compose myself today :P
       
    25. *nosebleed* :nosebleed

      OMFG, those two!! THE HOTNESS!! Cannot function!

      :D
       
    26. Aaaaa Felix is one of my favourite SID dudes ever. 2x is like, perfection.


      I have a huge request. I have totally fallen for Chris... on an EID woman body (long story, but this is the lady I needed to shell. As you can see, that bone structure don't get found on girl dolls very often). And when Iplehouse did their head-swapping reviews and opened up size recombination in the CDS, the nYID boys didn't exist. I was going to request that nYID boys get added to the EID/SID/nYID/male SID CDS, but could I ask for some photos of an nYID boy head on an EID woman body? From the numbers, it seems like it should be a pretty good match, but you don't know until you see it...
       
    27. Peach Gold has become my favorite resin tone...though I also love Real Skin.

      LOL! Thanks so much!:)

      I think they photograph lighter especially outside....in daylight...but it also depends on the background...here I have a very dark background so they might look a tad lighter.


      I agree...I'm loving the PG resin!

      Heeheee...thanks! I love the Felix sculpt and was thrilled to get a RS head to work with.

      I agree! Felix is a wonderful sclulpt.:)
       
    28. Thank you so much!
      Wow, you really changed my mind, I was going to order Chris in PG, but now I think I will have to go with Real Skin.
      Both look gorgeous, but the RS version blew my mind.
       
    29. I'm sure I have a better photo lying around somewhere, but in the meantime, here is my SID - EID - YID trio:

      [​IMG]
       
    30. Yay! Big IH doll thread. I'll be sure to drop Rayne in here once I get home. She's an Ashanti head on a nYID body. Nice spam everyone :)
       
    31. I'm favoriting the PG too, for now. I love RS but I had one from one of the first batches that turned a little green and even though they've fixed that, I'm still a little cautious and appreciate the stability of PG. It seems to get a little lighter over time but since I can only take something resembling a decent pic outside, the PG UV protection is an advantage for me. Love all the pics!!!!!
       
    32. Have to show off my first IH doll, EID Chase in normal skin. Just got the Monique wig and I love it! Draped some fabric scraps and jewelry bits for the photo.[​IMG][/URL] Rasong 2nd photo session 2 by purplelady69, on Flickr[/IMG]
       
    33. Oh wow, she is so lovely! Reminds me I really need to take some pics of my Bianca, Winter. I managed to snag a nYID body off the MP and she's one of my favourite dolls at the moment. She also weirdly has red hair too! ;-)
       
    34. Lelite, it will probably take a while for mine to arrive, and hopefully someone can give you pictures of a nYID/EID swap before then -- but, if not, I have an NS EID woman and a NS Chris coming in, so I'd be happy to do it, if it hasn't happened in the meanwhile. (Obviously, it would be after Chris' sales period was over, so hopefully someone can show you sooner than that!)

      Purple Lady, your Chase looks fabulous in nearly-nothing -- and that is some elegant draping! :)

      And here's a 3/4 shot of Nuit, who is rather eagerly looking forward to Chris' arrival -- she may have something of a disagreement with Carmine when he gets here, because I have a feeling that she's going to view his 'human side' as a convenient snack ;)

    35. WOW!! What a really great comparison shot!!!!!

      I am actually torn between Felix and Theo. I know that Theo's current sculpt is going to be discontinued at the end of the month, in actually a couple days. So I have to hurry and make my decision. I already have nYID Patrick in Real Skin and was thinking of getting my SID guy in Peach Gold. Seeing your Felix I think I will.

      I have a question for all. I am getting ready to sell my oYID Louis. I don't have any identifying paperwork for him, or his original box. And nothing on his body which identifies him as a genuine IH. I know that he is because I got him from someone reputable here on the DoA. Is there a way to identify him as genuine?
       
    36. luluna: Your boys are gorgeous :aheartbea I want to buy a Felix so badly :D

      I am so happy this thread was created, now both of my IH boys can join in ^^
      This is Ricky (SID Shane) and Simon (YID Noel)

    37. I have a question for all. I am getting ready to sell my oYID Louis. I don't have any identifying paperwork for him, or his original box. And nothing on his body which identifies him as a genuine IH. I know that he is because I got him from someone reputable here on the DoA. Is there a way to identify him as genuine?

      Does he have the seal on the back of his head? That would work as verification.
       
    38. As bajib said, he should have a large seal on the back of his head. Huge, actually.... it looks like this:

      [​IMG]
       
    39. He has that indent for the seal. But the seal is gone.

      Thank you for the pic. I figured there should be a seal there, there is an indentation. No seal. I have never seen the seal. It was gone when he came here. Now what? Any other way to identify him as legit?
       
    40. The seals do tend to fall out or stick to wigs but I was hoping for an easy solution. Some IP have things written inside their joints for assembly guides. Like my nYID Bianca has on her knee peanuts. Have you tried pulling the joints apart a little and looking inside to see if there is anything written there?
       
    41. bajib. I am so upset that I can't identify him as legit even though I honestly know that he is. I had thought about looking to see if there are any IH markings inside his joints or torso. I am even thinking of writing IH for any other identifying marks. UGH!! With all the hub bub about re-casts? I don't won't to get tangled up in that mess. I was hoping to list him tomorrow. I knew I would be selling him at a very reasonable price simply because his white resin has yellowed. And plus the fact that I am unable to identify him as legit? Might as well give him away. How disappointing.
       
    42. Morelle, you can look here for some ideas:
      http://dollsartcats.blogspot.com/2014/01/checking-for-real-iplehouse-dolls.html

      Oh, I forgot that Louis was older! But you are ok--if he has the indent and the pointy shoulder blades he's real--copying wasn't such an issue back then. You can also hopscotch down people's feedback to find the original owner, and just make a list. I don't think people worry about the original yid's as much.
       
    43. I'm sure you'll be fine, too morelle! Recasts have a competely different look to them - they are thinner resin with awful sometimes double seam lines and webbing between fingers and toes and the indent for the seal has mushy edges instead of crisp, plus what fishcake said.
       
    44. Fishcake. Thank you for the link. Yes, Louis is an oYID. He does have the indented circle in the back of his head and those God awful pointed shoulder blades. I always hated that about my Louis' body. His body is the reason why I am re-homing him. I really would love to get an SID. hopscotching down feedback is a good idea too. I still have the DoA email from the person I purchased from. Will try that.

      Fishcake. This link is your site? Do the oYID's name numbers on the inside of their limbs or torso?

      Also. I saw the photo there of the new hip construction with all the grooves. My nYID Patrick seems to be a little loose. Is this construction working properly I wonder?

      bajib. There is really no way that he would be a recast. I even purchased nYID hands for him. and they fit perfectly, even though the resin shade is off. He has all the characteristics of the older IH dolls. He is well made, sturdy.

      Thank you both for your input. Wish me luck!
       
    45. Fishcake. I have done what you suggested and "hopscotched" through the feedback thread. I have traced my oYID Louis way back to Feb. 09 until I hit a dead end.
      Thank you for the suggestion. I think that will work and I will make sure I mention it in his sales post.
       
    46. morelle wrote:
      Ask Vermont Chick--she has a Harin.. or aernath, who has a similar vintage (girl) Louis. I suspect the most the old YID's might have is their name inside the headcap. The limbs probably just have L and R at most ;) If you got back to 09 I would suspect that is the original owner :o

      I had a soo-ri but mgawd that was like in ..09.. so I forget!
       

    47. Actually, my Harin is the old style YID but she is only about two years old. I bought her when Iple announced that they were discontinuing the line. Even so, I looked inside her head and there is nothing printed/engraved there. I didn't see anything on her knee peanuts, either. That big round seal would have been your best bet for identification, but like someone said, they tended to fall off and it could have been lost.

      Also, there would not have been a box. The YIDs came in a black carrying bag, with white pillows, packed inside a shipping carton. No pretty color boxes like Iple sends out nowadays. There was probably a certificate originally (I have one), but if you are the 2nd or 3rd owner, the certificate might not have followed the doll. Just mention in your listing what the doll does and doesn't have, and let the buyer decide if he/she wants to buy it.

      Are you sure you want to part with Louis? He's awfully cute!

      I wouldn't stress about this if I were you. Like fishcake said, recasting is a relatively new phenomenon. If your doll is from 2009, I don't think it's a problem.
       
    48. Love seeing all the big Iple kids in one place - great idea!!

      Here's Tanis, a nYID Bianca:
      [​IMG]
      New Wig by swazini, on Flickr
       
    49. She's wonderful!! Love the pose she looks very comfortable, and those glasses too!!

      Yeah. I already checked inside my oYID louis' head, and nothing. Briefly checked his lower torso, and nothing. I'm thinking he is from 2009 or even 2008 since the end of the line was dated Feb. 09. That's interesting that the early ones came in a carrying bag inside a shipping carton. I must be the 4th owner of Louis, or possibly even the 5th. My Louis is extremely pretty with his natural face up by Sally Chandler. But, I am ready to re-home him as he has that baby face appearance that no longer works in my "boys club" collection of SD's. I'm actually thinking of getting SID Theo. And I know that I have to act quickly as his current sculpt will be discontinued at the end of this month, in like a couple days.

      Your Tanis is gorgeous!! Is that Peach Gold resin? I want to get Theo in Peach Gold.
       
    50. Take a vote!! Help me decide which one. Eric is on the left. My Patrick is in the center. And Theo is on the right. Do you think that Eric looks to much like my Patrick? Patrick is real skin. I will be getting either Eric or Theo in Peach gold. Help me to decide.

      [​IMG]
       
    51. I think Theo looks better with your Patrick, though I can't explain why.

      Also, your Patrick is absolutely gorgeous!

    52. Thank you. I think Theo looks better along side Patrick too. I think that the shape of Eric's mouth looks to similar to Patrick's mouth.
       
    53. Get Theo before he gets redesigned ;)
       
    54. Theo, offers more of a difference of expression. Always better with more variety ^^.
      My personal example is Dexter and Roger are too similar in expression so Arvid comes before Roger as a companion choice...
       
    55. Theo and Patrick would look great together! Agreed about Eric's and Patrick's mouths, they look like they could be related ... their eyes look a bit similar in the pictures too, but that might just be those photos.
       
    56. Thank you everyone!!!!!!

      I ordered Theo last night in Peach gold faceup A!!!!!!!

      Time to sell more dolls to get him out of hock earlier. Wish me luck!!!!!!! Off to the MP.
       
    57. You have to be careful, I bought a doll from a very respected person on here. It came with all the papers, but I can now tell from the skin colour and the finishing of it that it was not original.
      Also comparing it to my other iple's it was a giveaway. (as my collection grew)

      Unfortunately it was not purchased through DOA and I was very naive to think this sort of thing does not happen in this hobby. In fact at the time I did not know they existed!
       
    58. Christie. Yes I know. It's the nasty recast issue. I do not buy re-cast. I myself would rather have the real deal in my collection. But I know collectors who do, unfortunate I know but I guess they can't afford the real deal. Anyway, I have gone through the feedback on my oYID Louis who I have had for about 18 months now and have a trail all the way back to Feb. 09. My Louis is the real deal. Although his body is awesome, sturdy, with great definition, it's old and has some ware. He really needs someone who will clean him up a bit. Anyway he is in the MP. Wish me luck PLEASE because I have taken fishcakes suggestion and ordered SID Theo before IH discontinued him.
