Bobobie/Resinsoul 1/6 human discussion - part 5

Yeah that's NS resin.



Bit of an older picture but a good comparison.

Left to right: Neo-Angel Region Ren/Dollzone hybrid in old NS. Resinsoul Bei in Light Tan (which since BBB does casting for both it's the same shade) BBB Isabella in white skin and then RS Song in Normal Skin.

Your girl's definitely ns.

 

Thank your posting the picture, Arisha Uchiha. Seeing the different skin tones right next to each other makes it easier compare. I do agree she is a NS. After seeing your Bei in LT, I do like that skin tone and will consider it for the future.

I did get a better picture. Last Isleen spam until I get better at taking photos of her.

 

Hmm... My Ni's new 14mm eyes arrived today, only for me to realise all of her eyes looked stupid with massive gaps because her eye holes are made wrong! Her right eye has not been drilled enough and the resin there is very thick, giving her massive gaps. I ordered carving tools that should come tomorrow and I'll give her better eye holes, even the left eye is super thick.

 

@babs64 Definitely go for an LT doll at some point, the resin's really beautiful in person too.

@Mirabilis Oh my. Sorry about that. >:

 

The good news is, 14mm is a perfect fit! I really like the new eyes I got her, they're blue with glittery stars in them. She's got her proper eyes, now I just need to find a way to keep her wig on, the white one she wore in her box opening pictures was just temporary. All the nice wig makers I know are in the US, and seem to charge over £10 for shipping. I'm not paying that much when the wig is £5-8!

 

Check ebay. I got Gene's wig there as well as Avery's. You can find Liv wigs on there for a good price or the 5-6 ones. Most I've seen offer free shipping too.

 

<2 hours of modding later> Almost done! Just some finishing touches and sanding now. I'm pretty sure I removed enough resin to make another doll from her sockets, RS really did a shoddy job on that one. Decided to keep her 12mm in as it would take a lot of careful work to have the 14mm fit and I don't want to risk thinning the resin too much. I will mod her eye openings a little as well!

 

Sorry to hear the job on her wasn't the same quality RS usually has. >: I am glad to hear your making her work though. I wish ya luck.

 

I am considering a March. DDE has her in stock in Sky Blue. Would anyone with sky blue March or other BBB/RS doll be willing to post a picture? I'd like to know just how intense the sky blue really is.

 

Oh I don't have a sky blue BBB/RS but whenever I see them they are gorgeous!

 

Avery got a new outfit today!

 

Avery looks really cute!!

It's 6.00 am here and still dark - but I'll go out later today and take a few snaps of Lark, my sky blue RS Bao.

Edit: Here's Lark - short for Larkspur, but he prefers to think he's a bird, apparently...



This is indoors, with a flash. As you can see, he's a big greyish blue. It's a very pretty colour, though.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4676/38644969390_c02f943749_z.jpg

(He's wearing a really, really old Ken top that I think actually came with one of my Ken dolls in the 1970's. LOL!!)

 

Lark's such a cutie! Loving that blue resin, such a gentle shade, easy on the eyes. Loving that curly wig too. >w<

(And thank you for the compliment. I'm so glad it fits her. The skirt doesn't fully close but I'm okay with that.)




This was supposed to be a sweet picture. She looks too sneaky for it to be anything but her coming up with a scheme or two involving Avalon probably having to do something.

"Hey... Remember the dragon incident?"

"You mean the time I had to return a baby dragon to her very angry mother? Yeah."

"What if we repeated that and KEPT the baby dragon?"

"... Avery... No."

 

My boy is HERE!

And he's taller than Vala. Who is not happy about that. At all. Avery's glad to have her twin back though.

 

Anticipation is killing me. Denver Doll has shipped my sky blue March. Happy birthday to me! I am not sure what her name is going to be yet. In my mind, she is very girly, girl compared to Isleen. However, they are going to be BFs.

 

Ah, here he is again! I like this picture of all three of them.

 

Thanks!



Another one of the twins playing with some tsum tsums I bought today.

 

Any suggestions on where to find dress shoes for my girls? Miane (formerly March) just turns up her nose at tennis shoes. I'd love to find some mary janes or ballet slippers for her. Right now, DDE has a very limited selection that fit and I don't like the available colors. Any other sources? Thanks.

 

Try checking out etsy. There's a lot of awesome and cute dress shoes there.

 

Hello all. I've been wanting a Bao for ages now but never ordered one because he did not have a character. That changed and so I just ordered on from JS. He is going to be a fire djinn type of creature. He is going to be dyed. I have lots of plans for him, though still trying to decide on his name.

 

So... Do we have a pic of all the hands for this size? Tried to get it from Sun but no dice.

 

Heya, not replied in this thread for a while now! I sold on my Ni to someone more experienced with modding as I couldn't get her eyes to work no matter what. I got a Bei and managed to hit Chinese New Year so it was 45+ days wait. I got her like a week ago, no face-up but with body blushing. Her eye sockets seemed fine from the quick glance I gave her before she was shipped to her face-up artist. Her name is Yue for now.

Has anyone seen the new Nian? Those are some really subtle elf ears, almost Tolkien-esque.

@Arashi Uchiha I have those identical clothes, lmao. My Bei has a massive box of Barbie/Azone/Licca/Blythe and even some slightly baggy MNF clothes for layering.

@babs64 I have absolutely no idea where to find shoes. 1/6 size (5 cm) are massive, 1/8 are too small, Licca/Azone/Momoko are also too small. I might give Azone a shot since they're 3.5 cm and see if I can force her feet in.

 

Thanks so much, sorry about Ni not working out but yay for Bei!

And yes on the clothes for sure. XD Gene has so much clothes, I kind of went nuts when I got him since I knew what size he was.

I saw Nian, like the day after I ordered my boy. She's definitely on my list I could see a ton of character opportunities from her. >w< So freaking cute.

Since it's warming up more now I plan to take the twins out for a photoshoot soon.

 

Waitwait...do Blythe clothes fit the Resinsoul YoSD? I've been looking everywhere for someone that sews for Katie (my RS Ni), and there's like...one person on all of Etsy...but there seem to be a ton of folks sewing for Blythe

Edit: Just looking at measurements, and I wonder if Pullip Taeyang clothes would fit the Resinsoul 27cm...

 

Yup, she has middie/neo blythe clothes, whatever that is (idk anything about blythe dolls). Some fit, some take a while to work, depends on the clothes themselves. She also has PKF sized bloomers & wigs. Super cheap doll to clothe overall, I'm pretty sure the most expensive full outfit she has was £10.

 

Presenting Ignacious (Iggy for short. He is a Bao). I dyed him myself and spent 10 hours on Saturday painting him. I also made the wig. I will be making him clothes and accessories too.

He was born from a volcano and is a fire imp. I tried to paint him so he looks like lava.

 

Mirabilis' List of 'How do I dress this thing?!'
​

Updated: 02 May 2018

I looked into my doll clothes and sorted what fits by doll. Note, this is all for the female single-joint body, default for Bei & Ni. The double-jointed body is chunkier and might not fit some of these!

- Neo Blythe - Might struggle with trousers due to larger feet on Resinsoul.
- Middie Blythe - Dresses fit, a bit tight on the chest but not much. Make for cute short dresses on Resinsoul.
- ICY Doll - A supposedly Chinese knock-off of Blythe, some consider it its own doll. Up to debate. Clothes same as Neo.
- Barbie - Dresses are fine, tops can be tight around the chest, really random. Trousers are fine, but again as long as they're not super tight.
- Takara Jenny - I assume same as Barbie, I don't have any Jenny clothes myself.
- Momoko - Same as Barbie.
- Licca - Fine.
- Azone - Fine.
- Pullip - Same as Blythe.
- Monster High - Forget it. Wigs fit though, as they're the same size as PKF.
- Action Figure (1/6) - Hit & miss. Some look huge, others are fine.
- BJD (1/4) - Moe MNF clothes fit as a bit baggy, I use normal MNF clothes for layering/baggy look.
- BJD (1/6) - I don't have many YoSD clothes, but the few I have fit. Trousers/leggings are usually too wide and short.
- BJD (1/8) - Wigs. If you want a wig for your 1/6 Resinsoul and don't know what fits, they wear 5-6'', or PKF sized wigs. Some elastic bottoms also fit!
- **Bunny Bunny - Sold by TTYA. Bunnyx2 is a 35cm doll by nine9style whose clothes should theoretically fit RS.
- **Bunny Rabbit - Alright, this one requires more explanation. It's only for cheap clothes off Aliexpress. There's a a bunch of £2-3 clothes for this 30cm plush doll that should theoretically fit RS. I have some on the way and will update this accordingly. Update: They do not fit, would make cute dresses for 1/4 though!

Where to buy this stuff:
- Your usual BJD shops should have 1/6 clothes in stock.
- TTYA sells Momoko/Blythe/Bunnyx2. They're also on Etsy.
- Etsy - Duh. I've been thinking of trying some Curvy Barbie clothes. Best place for PKF wigs.
- Taobao - You no longer need agents for Taobao, see if the sellers ships internationally. Same warning as Aliexpress applies.
- Aliexpress - Beware recasters! A lot of shops that sell cheap 1/6 clothes are also recast sellers, venture at your own risk and use your judgement whether you'd be willing to purchase from them. If you're going to Aliexpress, search search search. Lots of shops sell the same clothes at vastly different prices. If you're paying more than £20, you're either getting a very high quality outfit, lots of stuff with it, or getting scalped.
- eBay - Lots of people sell their old Barbie clothes in bulk! Do not buy stuff from China on eBay, check Aliexpress first. They're scalping you.
- Amazon - Same as eBay, do not buy from Chinese sellers without checking Aliexpress.

Note on shoes:
The bane of my existence, I know that no fashion doll shoes fit, with them being 2.5 cm (25 mm). Shoes for 1/6 dolls are massive at 5 cm (50 mm), when RS is 4 cm (40 mm) foot.
Update: 44mm shoes are a perfect fit! Might even be too tight for socks. Any 44-45mm shoe should fit! friggin hallelujah

Shops for shoes that might fit:
- Juju's Dolly Mall sells all kinds of shoes for good prices and is located in the USA. They do not seem to underdeclare or mark as gift for international buyers, but I doubt you'd get hit by customs if you buy the occasional pair. Postage costs more than the shoes for the UK, which seems to be the recent case for stuff from the USA (wtf happened lol). - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/jujusdollymall/
- Leekeworld Size D Shoes are 45 mm and should fit a bit better, though they vary from $26 to $83.
- MNF Moe line shoes should fit at 42-45 mm. This Etsy shop is located in Spain, they have a wide selection of Moe line shoes. Shipping to the UK is £5. - Summomo by summomo82

 

Thank you for the info @Mirabilis Very useful!

 

Update: Just received my Bunny Rabbit clothes, they are not a fit. Very baggy especially around the chest, would make a very cute short dress for 1/4 though!

 

Made the twins some summer attire. I think they quite like it. (Gene's not too pleased about his sister stealing his jeans though.)

 

Hey guys! Does anyone here owns a Nian? If so, could you tell me what is his eye size?

 

The twins are committed to their favorite job - driving Avalon insane.

 

Could I please see a (nude) body comparison of the different yosd bodies?

Particularly interested in girls with double joints, but seeing all of them would be nice.

Even just seeing one body on its own would be great - it seems the company photos have completely disappeared, which is annoying.

 

I only have Bei for the girls (on the SJ body), but here's one of the photos I took after doing her blushing/sueding/restringing:

Blushed and Sueded by vicemage, on Flickr

(I also have some head-swap comparisons with the boy body/Bao head here: Comparison )

 

Thankyou!
The blushing adds so much extra to the doll, lovely :3

Edit, to avoid double posting:
Do the double jointed bodies still have no hand-hooks?
And how does the lack of s-hook in the wrist affect the doll?

 

I can't say anything about the DJ bodies, unfortunately, but the main issue I've had with the lack of s-hooks was in stringing. Cete's hands are tied onto her strings with strong sewing thread, because she just doesn't have room in her wrists for a hook, and tying the hands in place is a lot trickier than hooking them on. But her mobility with them isn't bad, a little restricted just from design but she's still cute and can manage nice enough poses.

 

Does anybody know if you can get a less mature chest piece for the double jointed Zi body? I'm hoping to get some of these little ones to add to my collection but I want them to be younger girls. I'm so used to double jointed bodies on my MSD's, I'm not sure I'd be happy with a single jointed one now. Also does anyone have the Bei, Spring or Autumn head on the Zi body? Would love to see them as those are the ones I'm thinking of getting.

 

This is my Bei on Zi, I've had her for a few years now. While she is supposed to be older (She's 17) with baggy clothes she actually can pass for an immature body. You could also ask Sun for a custom bust piece. I know he's done pretty much every type of custom order under the actual sun so if you really want an immature bust plate for her you could. I actually really like the double jointed body - enough that when I bought my Summer I got him on the Xu body.




Edit: Actually come to think of it you could probably ask Sun if he could possibly use the Xu bust piece instead. (Asking for the one they use for Ni or Bei won't work, the Zi body is a lot thicker. As in, she doesn't fit Barbie or Live clothes very well. It's hit or miss. She generally fits clothes for Ken better. (I've been trying to find "Curvy" Barbie clothes out of curiosity to see if the new "one size fits most" works for Zi's)

 

I am getting a Zi body with a flatter bust piece, Sun was perfectly happy to do that ^^

 

Thanks @Arashi Uchiha that's useful to know and good to know you like the double jointed body, I'm pretty sure that's the one I'll be going for. Your Bei is very cute, is she light tan? I'll probably end up trying to make clothes for my girls as by the time I've bought them and customs has no doubt stung me I won't have a lot of funds left but have got plenty of fabric here.

Ooo that's excellent @astromayhem So it is possible! Are you just getting a body or are you getting a head as well? If funds will stretch that far I'm thinking of getting Autumn in dark tan, Spring in normal and Bei in grey, all on Zi bodies with flatter bust pieces. Just need to pluck up the courage to email Sun for a price, see if I've saved enough yet!

 

I have 3 Zi bodies and 3 Xu bodies (with off topic heads). Their bodies fit Barbie and Ken clothes. I avoid tight waists on Barbie clothes and too broad shoulders on Ken clothes and do well with stretch fabrics. I have 3 boxes of clothes, so much fun. They also live in a plywood house I designed that is scaled to Barbie.

 

Welcome!
Yep she's Light Tan, I just love how RS does their tan resin, it's such a warm color.

I make most of Vala's clothes myself, the most I really spend money on is for shoes for her haha XD And her jeans are ken pants since she's a pain sometimes. I wish you luck!

 

Well I did it I emailed Sun and and he said I can have Pixiu's bust piece instead of Zi's and I've got enough money saved for the three dolls I wanted so I've ordered them! Now for the waiting.

@Mahgiep Sounds like you like the bodies then That's useful to know about the clothes, thanks. Your house sounds like fun!

@Arashi Uchiha I will have a light tan doll one day, just haven't quite decided which one yet, still choosing between another MSD or maybe another of these 1/6. I have 2 more 1/6 on my wish list, then just need to decide which tan doll to get, then I will have the full set of 12 Resinsoul colours. I said I was going for the full set when I started collecting them and I've nearly done it.
Yep shoes and probably wigs will be the biggest expense for me with these dolls I think. I can't make shoes and I don't think I can make wigs, although if the customs man is too cruel I might end up having to have a go.

 

With my 1/6's with the exception of Gene they both wear Liv doll wigs and I found shoes pretty cheaply on ebay. My trio of yo-sd's all their shoes were about 6 bucks combined (1.99 a pair)

 

Wonder if Bobbie NS matches Dollzone normal pink? I have a plan for a 1/6 doll

 

Hm, I'm not sure it would. BBB/RS NS is pretty peachy. You could ask Sun for a custom resin match though.

 

Dollzone is a fair bit paler - and more pink based than BBB's more orangey normal.

Body blushing, or even blushing a head, can make a huge difference though

 

I need to photograph Vala more and get her some new clothes. I feel like I neglect her sometimes. So here's a pic of my favorite Earth elf modeling an MSD shawl I made. (Wanted to see how big it was on her and how I'd have to adjust the pattern to fit her. Yeah, this thing is way too big for her but it looks so snuggly and cute)

 

@Arashi Uchiha Awwwwwww. She looks adorable!

 

Aww thanks!

 

The Xu head - what wig size does it need?
It's listed with the same measurements as Bao but I'm fairly sure it's slightly larger.

 

My new dolls arrived today after a long wait! It took 7 weeks for them to be dispatched after my order was confirmed and then a further week for them to get here, although 3 days of that were spent in customs, waiting to be cleared. Thankfully I didn't get any charges this time so I'm happy. I don't know how anyone waits 6 months or a year for new dolls I'd be going crazy, this has been bad enough!

Here's a quick phone photo, not the best but didn't have time for anything better today.

Bei decided she was having the blue boots already!

I love them, the resin colours are awesome. Bei and Autumn have a slight problem with their right feet however, they don't move freely, they are quite stiff and only move a small distance left and right. I'm not sure if it's because they are strung too tightly on that leg or if the s hooks might be rubbing on the resin inside the leg possibly? Hopefully it can be fixed or they will both have slight disabilities as I'm not sending them back! I'll just have to learn how to restring them I guess!

 

Give their elastic a bit of time to relax. After a lot of playin and pulling, they'll loosen right up. Gene's legs are pretty tightly strung too.


Vala's being the responsible shortest young adult and watching out for the little ones while they play. (and interacting nicely with their brother despite their differences.)

(Vala's the same height as them but she's actually 17 - it's unintentional but it's right in line with her literature self who's also the shortest)

 

Hello everyone! I'm looking into getting a Zi body fora hybrid and I was just wondering if you guys thought the double jointed body would work okay for a small MSD head. I was planning to mod the limbs a bit longer.
I have several 29-32cm dolls and had wanted to get a doll more in that range.
Do you guys think Zi would work for that with some mods?

 

Thanks @Arashi Uchiha. That might work with Autumn as her right leg is strung a lot tighter than her left one. With Bei I think I'm going to have to buy a needle file and do some sanding, as there is definitely a lump of extra resin inside the leg that the s hook is catching on stopping the foot from turning more than 90 degrees. Looks like your trio are having Halloween fun! Love all the props and especially love the orange dress.

@Nyxy Zi has a 14cm head, my Autumn and Spring have 15cm heads and look fine on the Zi body. If you get an MSD head that's not much bigger than 15cm I think it would work ok on the Zi body without it looking out of proportion. I don't know anything about modding limbs though as I've never tried it.

 

Thank you for your help @DragonHeart ♡
Your dolls are super cute, congrats on their arrival!
I'm trying to find out how big the head will be (it's off topic here as it's artist cast) so fingers crossed that she'll work!

 

You might want to look at the neck size to make a hybrid. Sometimes sanding will be needed for it to work, and sometimes it just doesn't fit no matter.... but I hope it does work!

 

@mollym thanks!
Part of the mods will likely be to leangthen the neck also so as long as the difference is not too big I can just re sculpt the top of the neck so it fits the head!
Edit: the head is about 16.5cm. I think I can make it work!

 

The twins are definitely ready and excited for Christmas. (And Gene can't help but try to peek. Vala... was camera shy)

 

I ordered my Zi body! Hope everyone is having a good holiday!
