Bobobie and Resinsoul Discussion - Part 11!!

@Myths and Magic nice! Congrats on getting in your new doll!

Hello, everyone! I'm new to the SD-range dolls and decided to enter in that territory with a Resinsoul Mi! I've never ordered from Resinsoul before. Only Doll Chateau, Spiritdoll, and Merrydollround so I'm interested to see how wait times compare. But anyway, I'm excited and if you have Mi's please post them!

 

@somewheresunbear Thanks.

 

@Darkwingchick thank you so much! That looks absolutely great ^^

 

Can I ask for Mi, or the other Resinsoul female spam, if you will?

 

Is it Dikadoll pink or yellow that matches Resinsoul normal? I'm interested in their hands and I know one of them is a near perfect match.

 

Has anyone ordered the Su? I've only been able to find one box opening gallery for her.

 

My Mi shipped and I have exactly 1 skirt for her and no other clothing. I am usually over prepared when it comes to a doll and it just completely slipped my mind, lol.

Well, at least she's got eyes and a wig.

 

Here she is, my light tan Mi! She's actually borrowing a shirt from my MSD girl at the moment, lol.

I think she's gorgeous even blank, so I can't wait to get to her painted!

 

She looks great in tan. I love the Mi sculpt!

 

Thanks! I almost wish I got her in dark tan

 

Has anyone tried the Mi head on the 68cm body? >.>

I have a modoll Mody head (which is close to the Mi head in size and shape) that was the wrong color (they're sending the right one and letting me keep this one!) and she matches the RS NS. She's a 9.5 neck but I tried her on my Ai (which is a 9cm) and it wasn't too bad of a size difference.

Also, for those who have the Dai body... how does it pose? Is it clunky and difficult since it doesn't have the double joint? If it poses decently then I'll order that one.

Thanks! ^_^

 

Hello everyone! First time here and I'm excited to say I put in an order for Su with that new body in purple. I'm waiting to hear back from Sun since I'm asking for a custom faceup, I hope they say yes. I'm looking to buy her some eyes and wigs, and from what I've read it seems she has the same size eye as Mi. So a 14mm? But I'm not sure of the wig size because of those ears, so my question to anyone who may have a Su or any long ear cutie, size wig did you get? Also any photos of any of RS would be lovely

 

I have 14 mm in my Mi, but I feel like 16 mm could work as well. Not sure what to tell you about wig size. An 8/9 fit my Mi perfectly. I'd post more pics, but she's out for a face up right now

 

Thank you so much! And I can't wait to see her when she returns

 

Where did everyone go? would love to see any new Su if anyone received theirs yet

 

People post in the waiting room occasionally. I'm not sure why this thread is so dead.

 

Trying to decide if I want to get a new RS larger size girl or not. So many options to choose from.

It seems a lot of threads are very.. dead lately on DOA.

 

Thank you both so much, I suppose I will go on over to waiting forum. Mmm maybe with so many soical media available now everyone is just doing that maybe?
Is there one you like the most @Rhiannona?

 

I've been stalking Su lately!

 

I can add a little drive-by spam of my Weylin boy to inject a little life into the thread. I think a lot of people have transitioned to Instagram and Facebook where sharing pics with lots of folks is faster and more straight-forward! A couple of smaller bjd forums I frequented have died off in part to the social media migration.

 

I will definitely share pictures @Rhiannona when she comes in
And wow! @Kochi your boy is so cute! Very huggable looking and I 100% agree with you on social media.

 

@Kimchi wow, he is super, super cute. I love his outfit, also.

I tend to post on tumblr and Instagram, but I do try to post pics on DoA as well. Still don't have my girl back from the face up artist, so I don't have any new pictures. She should be coming home next week, though.

 

I recently sent my Long to live with a friend, so this is the last picture I have of him, with his new faceup and wig for his new owner.

And just for fun, this was him eight years ago, when he came home to me. (the date embedded in the photo is wrong; my old camera liked to reset the date every time you changed the batteries, so... weekly.)

And there were many, many faceups in between.

 

That... Makes me hungry actually!
I always thought I would go for green, but that purple is very tempting too

 

Hopefully we'll find out soon, I order my girl in purple and I'm really hoping it's noticeable

 

She's by no means a recent cast of purple, but Lasci is 3 different batches of the purple, and it's both super purple and pretty consistent (first I got her head on a shorter body, then I got her the super tall girl body, then she got the jointed hands, all a year or more apart)

Take a picture, it lasts longer
She's... not a people person

 

Lol!!!! She's perfect! Thank you

 

Hey! I know I'm super duper late with this but I'm nosy and couldn't resist replying I know the confusion when trying to find clothes for this girls. before ordering her clothes I carefully read her measurements online and placed my order, luckily enough I was able to get her a couple things that fit nicely. As you said SD tops work just fine. For bottoms Cameron is currently wearing a pair of MSD jeans that fit her perfectly, they obviously look cropped on her, but it's summer and I don't mind the look, if you're interested I could send you a pm or even post the brand here, I just don't know if I can. same applies for shoes, carefully checked all the measurements and got her 2 pairs of MSD sized boots (anything with a lenght of 7.3cm+ works fine). I have more stuff coming in in a while, if anyone is interested I could update and let you know how that works out

 

I'm very much interested in knowing this thank you so much!

 

I have some pictures of Cameron wearing some of the MSD things I got her. Please excuse the fact that she is blank, I wiped her company face up and started working on her today (you can see a little of the sketch for her thigh tattoo)

-The black T-shirt is actually an MSD sized dress I got from SW&doll (I actually thought I ordered the 1/3 size but apparently that was not the case) I personally like it very much, I can even tie it for a cropped look!

-High waisted Denim are Guess doll clothing (DDE) Jeans for MSD in bleached blue (they come with the little belt that you can see in the last pic) fairly easy to put on, you need to take your time in the derrière area but I was able to put them on even though she has sealant on her legs and I didn't damage my work at all. Once on they fit like capri trousers and the waist is even a bit big.

-studded boots with buckle (SUN36), MSD Size from SW&doll, I love them, they fit perfectly, I show them here tied in two different ways. On Cam I like them unbuckled, I imagine her rushing from one casting to the other without the time to properly tie them.

-last but not least a pair of dollmore boots (they're called the bending walker) I got off of DDE, they fit perfectly but because of the shape the points tend to go upward making them hard to stand in. Still, they look super cool in picture.

Sorry for the lengthy post and spam
















Just to clear things out I do not work nor am I in any way associated with any of the companies mentioned above I just bought the items here mentioned with my own money.

 

Oh my goodness! Thank You! She looks so adorable in those pants! I'm really excited to learn this, thank you, thank you!

 

I'm very happy you found it helpful Let's go find these long-legged beauties something cool to wear!

 

I haven't checked out Bobobies site in forever so I wouldn't be able to tell if it has change. Hopefully though it means that it's changing things up and updating ^.^

 

I have a resinsoul Mi I love and adore! Recently changed her wig. She is traveling with me to university

 

Dropping by with a new pic of Caspar now that his look has started to come together a bit more. ...And he got his first prop/toy yesterday so we thought we'd show that off too.

 

Two major cuties I do live the mi sculpt. I got awesome news this morning my Su is getting ready to come home! Sun emailed me this morning

 

@Ballet
Thanks.
Oh that's exciting. Hopefully your Su will get to you quickly so you don't have to wait much longer.

 

I am having strong needs for more Resinsoul. xD I just love this company SO MUCH!
I made a wig for my Gang, it was my first brushed yarn wig~

My girl arrived! A Resinsoul Su with a custom faceup from Resinsoul. Who would have thought?! Their custom face-ups are really nice and it was an extra $30! I'm in love with her, I'm thinking she won't be a wig girl, those ears are HUGE, so now I have to learn how to tie a head scarf.

Wow! That's a gorgeous faceup how did you request it (did you have a deference picture, or?

 

I sent reference photos and asked for certain changes on it

 

Dallieh and I just wanted to stop in and say hello. It's been a while. I'm trying to figure out how to post again using just my phone. Man, I found some flaming hoops and jumped through them! I hope this works!

 

@vvnem - Your Mi is gorgeous. I was so tempted to go with a RS Mi as my first BJD. The wig and styling you've chosen really suit her.

@Ballet - Your Su is incredible as well. Love the face-up. It's great that RS offer custom face-ups; I've heard so many great things about their customer service that it really makes me want to order from them at some point.

 

thank you so so much! Only took me a good solid 4 months to get her right

 

Just got my own Mi. She's such a beautiful sculpt.

Really, @vvnem - she looks so well put-together. Good job. I adore her septum piercing. Have you done it yourself? It looks so good.

@Ballet that's an amazing faceup! Her resin colour is wonderful.

I think it's the greatest thing to see Mi and Su's (and everyone else's sculpts too, of course!) because each one looks so individual and different from the next. It's so fun to compare to my own, and be amazed at how much simply skin or eye colour changes their appearances.

I didn't know the name of my Mi when she arrived, but I knew ever since I ordered her that it started on R. And as she's my first bjd I had kind of... assumed it wouldn't matter so much what she was called, but when Resinsoul emailed that she had shipped I suddenly felt the panic creep in about it. I eventually decided on Rhea.

[/IMG]

Not quite sure how to post pictures so I hope that worked.

She doesn't have a faceup because I wanted to try my hand at that, now we're waiting for msc and the weather. My wife helped me make a very simple ionian chiton for her to cover up in. I also did an attempt at making one, but... I think it's best that never see the light of day.

@Calabri that's a great wig! My first yarn wig was a disaster, but the fourth attempt, in the picture, became really good. I hope you're proud. With the wig Crow reminds me of Eric Draven, from The Crow, which is really funny if that was unintentional.

 

I actually bought her from Lunar BJD. The faceup is by her. I had a long issue getting the doll though as I was almost scammed out of my money but with the communities help I got her. She is my grail and the first ever doll I laid eyes one aka the first doll that made me get into the hobby. Also you're girl is gorgeous! I so want to get another Mi haha

 

Random question guys.

I got a rather old RS Long today and I notice his wrist hooks aren't the standard S hooks (nor are his ankles) but this strange elongaged fishhook sort of shape, which really limits his arm mobility. Biggest problem is that his hands can't even swivvel without the hooks literally gouging chunks out of the inside of the arm.
Would shorter hooks help?
How is the mobility in Long's wrists usually?

this poor guy has been through the wars, so many scratches all over the place but I SHALL make him beautiful, oh yes. Already washed all the yellowed old sealant off and scrubbed his fading faceup, restrung him so he's no longer floppy and epoxied a cracked ankle (hope it'll hold eeep) but i'm worried about those wrist hooks and the amount of resin they're gouging every time you try to move the hand in any way, it's like scraaaaatch scraaaape with each motion and eeep, that's not right.

 

@purple_monkfish seems like you definitely should change the hooks. I don't have a Long myself so I can't help you with the mobility question, but it shouldn't rub and destroy the resin, specially by the wrists where the resin is rather thin to begin with. From what I've seen in pictures its always seemed to me like Long have a pretty average range of motion at least. Hope you manage to fix him up!

 

Thanks. I t hink i've figured it out actually. I don't think they were his original hooks. In fact, given he has single jointed arms, i'm pretty sure he never had hooks originally. the old Longs with the single jointed arms didn't, the elastic just looped around the hands and ankles like with their little YOSDs (which still do that). I expect what happened is his previous owner put some random hooks they either happened to have, or aquired which aren't actually S hooks (they're not S shaped, they're odd) to try to help.
I'll get him some new proper S shaped hooks, those should make a huge difference to the wrists anyway.

I've restrung him now, he was very obliging about it actually. I expected a fight with a doll so large but he was actually not too difficult. I had more problems with a few of my msds, who are just jerks. lol.
He now stands really well, but his arms while tight, don't have the locking mechanism of a lot of dolls so he can't raise them up properly ... yet. I'll probably suede them and maybe wire them too just so he can raise his arms.

He's scrubbed up beautifully though, poor old boy. I'm really pleased with him.

I think I am mad though. I mean, my first bjd in general I decided to buy an old, floppy as heck doll who needed tlc and my first sd sized doll? I did it again ahahah.

but I think once he has new S hooks he'll be much happier. Poor boy is covered in scrapes and gouges, he's clearly lived an interesting life.

 

Boiling will probably help pop out a lot of this scrapes and gouges. :3

 

I actually have a lot of dolls with elongated s-hooks. I can't remember if my Gang does, but my Bao did. Idk if they were added by his previous owner but I don't always have problems with the elongated s-hooks but I did on my Bao.

 

Interesting, maybe they were an in between measure before they switched to regular S shaped ones rather than these bizarre hook things?

Some of them are quite deep, more like he's been scraped up. One foot looks almost grated on one side but his shoes will always cover them. I'm planning to make the worst ones scars if they're visible haha, he had several on his face but his faceup totally covered them up (near his eye).
Most of them are on his legs and back and places you won't see.
Looks like he's been well loved, carried around a lot maybe?
The worst gouges are internal, from these wierd hook things. So much resin powder came out of his arm when I removed his hand eww.

He might keep the long hooks in his ankles, they help him stand because they provide a rather rigid "rod" for the ankle joint and with shoes on it's not like i'm ever pointing his toes anyway. But his hands def need shorter normal hooks so they can at least swivel.

 

I just checked and Gang doesn't, but my Planetdoll Emma does, as do both of my 5stardolls, my DollLove, Onlydoll, Onlykids... basically the only other doll I have with sort of small s-hooks is my Dikadoll on the old msd girl body xD and the only one I've had substantial problems with is my Bao. My Dollmore Narsha has VERY weird s-hooks xD
Small s-hook comparison by Izzy, on Flickr

 

Here's an image of the giant hooks, they're really long. That white stuff on my finger? that's resin from the inside of the arm.
Yeaaaah.

I bought some new S hooks which should be here soon, hopefully they'll fit and solve the problem.

I believe he's one of the really oooold Longs so wasn't designed to have hooks, but these ones are wiiiiierd. And really can't move at all, they don't even rotate.

My Bei, who's YOSD doesn't even have hand hooks and she was made this year. Her hands are just looped with elastic. Strangely, she came holding a teeny little S hook. Her ankles I think have S hooks, but her hands don't. But yeah, there was a teeeeeny little one in her hand when I opened her box lol. It was weird.

 

Both ends of that s-hook look like they stick out so that explains the resin getting scraped away o:
My friend just got a secondhand Bei, I wonder if she has wrist s-hooks...

 

Yeah they're totally inappropriate hooks for the socket. But hopefully new hooks will solve the problem. He has the same in his ankles but as he's wearing boots they don't move much and actually serve to support his ankles instead.
But his hands WILL be moved, so kinda need repair.
They're odd hooks, one end looks like an S hook but it's quite wide, the other end is more hairpin shaped. It's odd.
I'll have to get a pic of them alongside normal hooks at some point.

Poor old boy, i'll get him lovely and happier heh.

 

Hi,

I love Mi and plan on getting her hopefully soon. I'm also looking at getting a Chun but can't seem to find many owner pictures of her. Could Chun owners please spam me with Chun photos?

Thanks!
