B&G (Boy & Girl) Discussion

Quite good actually! While I haven't really had the chance to make a new outfit for him, one of my friend recently suggested to me to redo his faceup and I've accepted the offer. I gave her full freedom on what to do, so I'll adapt his look once he'll come back.

 

I'm sorry I don't have a clue on heads I nabbed mine off eBay. I got my a Sunny over the weekend, apparently she wanted my DZ body cos she looked much better with it and it was a better resin match. Then I couldn't get her eyes to look anything but angry so finally today after restringing, sueding, and swapping her eyes out, I'm ready to present, Evie.

 

oh she is gorgeous AlmySidaKay But then I am extremely biased with the Sunny/Sandra sculpt LOL - And I bring GOOD NEWS today! I just noticed that Alices Collections are now dealing for B&G too http://www.acbjd.com/boy-girl-c-372.html Alices are a great dealer - so far used them for clothing and an Angel of Dream doll. If you email them Uenna they may be able to sell you a head, I have no idea if this is possible - I know they sell the AoD heads separately even though they're not listed as such, if you contact them.

 

Thanks, elve! They still haven't replied to my email so I may have to go the AoD route. Plans for Sapphira have been put on the backburner for any anyway.

 

I was wondering if anyone has ever done business with Boy and Girl bjd the company? I have no idea what to search and I cannot seem to find a thread for it.

 

I don't know them, but their sculps look lovely I'm sure there will be someone who knows more about them though

 

I have not. I've only ever bought my B&Gs from renaissancefashion, who I do not recommend as I think they just sorta stopped, and possibly ran off with people's money?? Plus they don't exist anymore. They were a great dealer when I was buying mine though, so it kind of makes me sad.

Back in the day, B&G was not the most reliable of companies, I think several of their dealers dropped them because of it -- also sad, I do love their dolls. And the Type 2 boy body is one of my favorites.

This was all years ago, things have maybe changed since then - after all, they come up with new stuff all the time, if they were doing bad business I don't see how they could afford to stick around. Plus someone just started dealing them again (Alice's collections I think), so they must be better.

 

My Sapphira finally got his new faceup! Now I need to style his wig better and start a wardrobe looking, but that's a good start!

He's so cute!!! He looks amazing. Omg I miss Wyn...Mine has been headless for months! I need to get him finished!

 

Hmmm... I'm looking at Sky again after 2 years of wanting him... Anyone with Sky pics want to try to convince me that I should get him ;D

 

I swear I took photos of Evie between now and Feburary I just ... didn't share her much because she went through several outfit style changes, a body change, and then change back and several wig and eye style combinations too. I finally found a style I think really suits her the best now.

 

I've restyled my B&G Sandra again, with a dollzone wig and eyes, and given her eyelashes too - wow what a difference!

 

I wouldn't mind some Sky love either. I have a floating head that's been with me since er 08 or 09. He resists all attempts to sell him, so guess he's staying. Bought him with a heavy goth faceup & it's still here too, but would love some (any) inspiration as I want to give him a serious revamp.

For anyone with a hybrid (boy esp.), what body do you like best?

 

Lol honestly? B&G. I have two Delf heads on the type 2 boy body.
I'm not a fan of the type 3 but thats just me.

I also like Doll Chateau or Fdoll for boys. AOD would be ok if you like super buff and kinda short guys, but I was not a fan of mine and sold it. Volks SD10 might be ok, and they're not too bad on the MP usually. Also Delf if you can get one. It really depends on what type of body you want for him. What resin tone is he?

 

I had never heard of this company before today, they certainly have beautiful dolls! I love all of the owner pics too, so much beauty!

 

He's WS, so quite a bit mellow yellowed by now.

I was initially leaning towards a B&G body instead of another company, but wasn't sure of finding one second hand. Doll Chateau could work. I have one of their minis and that body Fiddly, but worth it. But AOD is definitely out - wouldn't mind the height so much, but not a fan of super buff particularly.

 

It makes me really happy to stumble across this thread again.
I still have Sera, my B&G I got back in 2008 and still love her to this day. She's definitly yellowed... which I didn't even notice till I had her next to a brand new white skinned doll. The made me go "Whoa... difference!" But it's amazing how evenly, from what I can tell, she's yellowed.
I love how she poses. I've got doubles, but her single jointed body still manages to end up in some really natural positions. She was my first, and I don't think she'll ever be leaving my dollie family. Especially now that my grail doll and her have become such good friends!
If it's okay, I'm going to share a pic I posted elsewhere.... I've since gotten a better camera, but haven't taken them out yet again for more pics. The girls need more shirts!



They make me smile so much!

 

I agree with you MinekaC. about the single joint body - I think it's really preferable to dj bodies I have! Sera is so cute I feel the same way about my B&G Sandra too (Erica) - although my taste in dolls has changed since I got her right at the start (ebay find a couple of years ago) I can't see me ever parting with her Gave her another restyle today, as we were both tired of frilly skirts LOL - I've had these 'dungaree' type things from Alices Collections for ages now, with no doll in mind to wear them - same with the top (part of a set - the skirt is on another doll) I really like them on her! Not sure about the eyes though....

 

oooh I've just discovered B&G boy Rin I've been looking ages for a friendly-looking, 1/3 boy sculpt, which actually looks more like a boy than a girl, and I think he's the one - he's even got little teeth! Has anyone got any owner-pics of him? (long-shot as a web trawl has turned up only 2 owners!)

 

Sorry for the double post - bit hard to avoid on this thread LOL I contacted Alices Collections, who deal for B&G, and they say it's possible to just order a head, using their $1 order page. Cost of a blank head is $99 - so I think I will be ordering a Rin head ASAP - I had a look at the boy body and I can't say I like it much, especially not for that price. Plus it may just be a camera lens trick, but does his head look overlarge on that body? http://www.acbjd.com/rin-p-6922.html?cPath=372_375

ETA: still trawling the net for photos of this boy - I'm wondering if Natalia is the same sculpt though? http://www.acbjd.com/natalia-p-6932.html?cPath=372_375

 

More spam of my B&G Sandra (Erica) After a brief try at the modern look, she's gone back to her lolita fashion! I am pleased I swapped the eyes for some brown ones though - And since she doesn't fit with my other dolls style at all, she's moved from the dolly shelf to the bed! This is seen as a promotion of course I think she'll be staying in this dress and wig now - it's the right style for her, and I only discovered bjd through being on a lolita fashion forum, so it's only right I have a lolita style doll to remind me of where it all started

 

Erica is lovely in modern or loli - and I agree, those brown eyes suit her better than the blue


No body yet for my Sky, but I've finally decided to get his faceup redone. Been waffling about it forever as his current one is gorgeous (dark & moody, with some iridescent highlights). At the time I bought him it was THE reason I fell in love with that face - but now I think it's the reason there's been so much trouble bonding/finding him a character.

Fiddling with the idea of getting him modded too. Currently I'm more interested in dreaming/less wide eyed sculpts and since he'd be getting a new look anyway...

 

thanks acidquill what WAS I thinking with those blue eyes LOL I really love Sky as a sculpt but yes he does have wide eyes, like Erica! Could you maybe give him a wig with a long fringe/bangs covering his eyes pretty much? It's interesting that you struggle to find a character for him - I'm the same with my Erica - although I love her, she has no character really, she's just a dress-up doll. I speak to her like she's a real person (ie with character) but she's not got any kind of personality really. That's why I've moved her to my bed - she's different than the other dolls as they look more human and less 'cartoony'

 

I'm so so sorry for asking. But does anybody has a 67cm female doll or just a body.

​

I need to know it's hight on flat feet and heels.

​

I have found satura but she is banned.

​

 

Hello everyone! I don't own a B&G doll, but seeing B&G Freya was one of the factors that got me into the hobby. I still look at her from time and time and consider getting her. Does anyone having an pics of her? I would love to see the different ways people have imagined her!

 

Elsa I've heard Freya is the same sculpt as Sky - B&G seem to double up on all their sculpts for a male and female version. Really it depends if you get the default faceup or do your own - it can make such a huge difference! I just searched flickr using " marks for "b&g freya" and got this page https://www.flickr.com/search/?q="b&g freya"

 

Does anyone have WS Coloara? Or any idea of Comparison to other dolls ?

 

I'm debating on getting the B&G Savinar doll for myself for christmas... She's one of the 67cm girls.
Any thoughts or comments about this doll..?

 

Now's your turn by DarksStars, on Flickr

So I haven't done much with my Sephira, Kael, for a while, but I think that this year will be the time for me to complete him. He mostly need new clothes, as I'm satisfied with his faceup and eyes at last. So here, have a quick shot I took earlier of his face in the meanwhile

 

I've been interested in Aurora for a long time now and I'm glad that I could order just the head I don't like the look type 3 male body but does someone here have it?

 

oh I can help! I have a Rin
I've been wanting to do this, so get ready for some dolly spam XD I really should get on with making his clothes, I can't wait till he wears his bow ties. I just like looking at him lol Name: The 11th doctor Mold: b&g Rin Age: Twelve hundred and something by until_fullmoon, on Flickr

Sorry I haven't taken a photo of his body but if I remember my boy is a type 2

 

I got my B&G Lyall from the original website back in 2010. Although he did yellow a little, I still love him very much.

Here's my newest photo of Lyall:

 

Thanks Ballet Your Rin is handsome!! I read tons of good feedback for the Type2 body..its too bad they don't sell it anymore
I hope to see more Auroras!

 

he's cute Jejae - love his sparkly eyes

Ballet your Rin is gorgeous - I am tempted all over again

DarksStars I love your boy's faceup with that wig - perfect!

I've been digging through some old photos and found one of Erica (B&G Sandra)

My god, as anyone seen the new girl with the "ice body"? I'm guessing BG-Rayon is a new branch of B&G?

Edit: Apparently her name is appropriately "Ice", lol!

 

[MENTION=60902]Venetica[/MENTION] I've got one on layaway! I've always wanted a clear resin doll so as soon as I discovered her via another member on here I had to put an order in for her

 

@beatnik Sweet, congratulations!! Someone finally posted on this thread, lol! I saw someone's box opening too for a blank version. She looks so amazing. I still want to get her with a face up and body blushing. I'm still trying to save up for her but I've been tempted by other dolls...I missed April Story's ridiculous 4-day window to order Petitcorn so that's out, but LoongSoul has that beautiful girl with the unicorn body, Peakswoods has several new gorgeous dolls only available for a month, and now there is a lottery for a Dollfie Dream that I'm interested in...it never ends! ;___;

 

[MENTION=60902]Venetica[/MENTION] Thank you, I also found her via the box opening thread and I've ordered her blank as I have a project I'd like to do with her She's actually an LE of only 10 so if you do want her you'll need to rush!

 

Hi guys! I have a quick question. I've fallen for a Boy&Girl doll but I have a deal breaker I can't find the answer to so I'm hoping to get one here.

Which type of resin does B&G use? The sort of translucent looking "more eco-friendly" (idk if that's true but it's what I heard) type resin, or the regular resin?

 

I just bought my first SD size girl. She's a B & G Freya.

I really love her and wanted to share!

 

she is stunning XDollyLovr yes this thread is a bit quiet LOL - I don't know why, because B&G are gorgeous dolls! Here's my old, yellowed, single jointed Sandra - I love her so much

hello! i was wondering if anyone has the same experience as me, i recently ordered a doll from B&G...but their Q&A is overrun by spam and they haven't replied to the message i included in my order. i only asked them to mark down the price. does / did anyone else has / have this problem? i'm...a bit nervous. i need them to mark down my package because customs officials where i live are sharks on two legs, tax is absurd.

 

I have a B&G boy type one body coming in the mail and was wondering if any jointed hands would fit on it and if anyone could help me out! Google didn't help too much..

 

Got my Elf Nailo in the mail yesterday and I am sooo happy!!!! Here he is... I will be posting a box opening in a bit if anyone is interested.

 

Working on a new look for Nailo. He has a new wig and eyes at this point and his outfit has just arrived in the mail today. I will snap some pics of his total new look as soon as I can but in the mean time here he is so far.

 

Nailo is finally in his forest elf character

 

Amazing outfit @KimC ! The final look really suits him

 

Thank you so much Serraphym I'd really like to get better pictures in the "forest" (local park) but that will have to wait for another day. I'm so glad I could find a look that suited him so quickly just a few tweaks here and there.

 

I finally got my first SD girl! She is a B&G Sandra, purchased secondhand. She has some clothes, but still needss some shoes! The poor thing has cold feet..

 

Congrats Cerianne!!! Will love to see pics when your ready. I'm not sure about Sandra's feet size but if your wanting to find out I think the B&G website ibgdoll.com is still going and if you search on their site I bet they have the measurements for Sandra so you'll know what size shoe she takes. My SD B&G Nailo is one of my favorites I love his face style and his big eyes. I hope you enjoy your Sandra as much I am my Nailo

 

I found some shoes! They arent perfect, but at least her feet won't be cold anymore.
And I love the bigger eyes! I still dream to own a DOD Shall one of these days for the same reason. I just love the large eyes

For Sandra, she's my canvas for an OC that I hope to shell her as. I'll need to clean her fully, and then she'll be going to one of my friends for a new face-up.

 

That's great Cerianne, I'm glad you found her some shoes. I know sometimes if I love the shoes and their slightly too big I'll shove a small wad of paper or cotton in the toe and it works like a charm. Looking forward to seeing your girl in her new character

 

Anyone out there own this body?

Doll Parts, Boy & Girl - BJD Dolls, Accessories - Alice's Collections

 

Does anyone own Savinar? I think she is gorgeous and would love to see owner photos.

 

Can someone measure the wrist circumference of their boy? I was thinking of getting the hands.

 

Hi. I have a Nailo that I can get his wrist size when I get home from work late tonight. Unless someone else can get it before me.

 

@KimC Thank you!

 

Ok, I came up with about 2.5 inches or 6.35 cm. I hope that helps.

 

Perfect! Thanks again!

 

No problem
