Creature Doll! Armored Beauties ready for Adventure

@skyealloway - I left body comments on your comparison thread. I have to agree she wears Creature Doll clothes well, but those big hands have to go. I wish I could think of a good alternative. WithDoll hands are probably too small, plus they join on with magnets rather than s-hooks. They are preparing to release a new girl body, however, so it will be interesting to see what changes they will make with hands, if any. Because WithDoll does a lot of fantasy dolls, you get hands that can hold various weapons. Luts Model Delf girl hands look like a good size, but the only hands they sell separately are fist-like, so no hope of clasping a sword, and they attach via resin hook. You can probably forget about color matching there, too, as their normal is very pale. Same with Dollmore Kid and Judith hands. Normal is very pale, and despite numerous hand positions there doesn't appear to be anything that will hold a sword.

 

@skyealloway - I can't wait to see pics of the modded wrists. At the rate you're going you'll eventually be making your own BJDs!

 

Wow, @skyealloway, your wrist mods don't show at all! The hands are a little small for the body, but at least she's able to grasp her sword. I think the color only looks off because of the blushing on the face. Otherwise the hands appear to be a pretty good color match for the body.

 

Here's a warrior pic in honor of our fallen warriors on this Memorial Day.

Yey Alise!!! Well met

 

That's so cute! I love the way her outfit goes with the hair too. ^_^

 

Love the space buns!

 

Wow so beautiful.

 

@skyealloway - Those are gorgeous! So realistic--I love how she looks in them.

 

@skyealloway - Agreed, those look amazingly good on her! I think the name suits her too. ^_^ Thanks for sharing!

 

I was just thinking about Creature Doll earlier today.
I am still so sad I wasn't able to get a elf Phyllis or elf Lucia in time I hope someday Creature Doll/Taewong will be able to make dolls again, though.

 

Same, I really wish we could see more of the armor sets and clothing and stuff. Their bodies are also my favourites

 

Wow. This is beautiful.

 

You're very welcome.

 

I was wondering, does anyone still know what creature doll’s email was? I’ve been mulling over the thought to send him a message on Instagram and email to see if he might receive it — I am curious if he might be willing to offer some order periods for the dolls in the future, if he still has the means to do so.

It makes me so sad. Honestly I think his company name might have been a bit too vague, since whenever I look up “creature doll” on google, it tends to come up with art dolls first and foremost. 1/4 fashion sized dolls are getting more and more popular so I wonder if he was to rebrand with small order periods, if it would help him at all - assuming, of course, it’s something he would still be willing/able to do.

 

@Epona - the address I can find in my mail history is [email protected]
And I agree, the name might not have been the easiest to find. It really is a shame, with the quality of the dolls and accessories, that people didn't pay much attention to them.

 

@skyealloway - It does look to be the right size! Any ideas about how you're going to repaint it? And speaking of accessories for these girls, I'm eyeing one of these...

 

I'm joining the Judefest wishlist as arm candy for my armored beauty. Looking for pics of that body. wondering at proportions with our girls.

 

@skyealloway - Well, given their habit of rereleases, I'm sure he'll be available again if you change your mind. Just maybe not with that outfit.

@petiteballerine - If you mean the 51 ATH body, there's pics in their gallery if you scroll down? Good question about the proportions though. The girls are in good proportion to IH FIDs, so I'd assume the guys are too.

 

To save you the trouble of scrolling through endless Blog posts, here's the link to the comparison photos of Jude with my FIDs and a Raccoon lady - Comparing
Unfortunately I don't have any Creature Dolls.

 

Was anyone able to get ahold of the Creature Doll artist? I need to get a replacement body for Lucia (her body is currently being occupied) and another body for a head I want to order.

I'm going to have to put out a WTB aren't I? ><

 

You could try miniature model glue. There's one from BSI that's specifically formulated for gluing in tiny magnets.
But I don't know how often you would use it after gluing the 2 tiny magnets afterward, so hot glue might be the more economical option

 

@skyealloway - Ugh, I've had a couple instances of gluing a headcap magnet in backwards and having to pry it out again. I can imagine it's even worse when they're smaller. Good luck figuring it out! Is the entire thing just held together with magnets, then? I don't think I realized that!

 

While I don't own a Creature Doll (yet), I must say thank you to everyone who has been posting in this thread! I live vicariously through your posts!

 

I think they're my favorite MSD body.
I want to do a Want To Buy for bodies/heads but I don't even know what tag to search on Instagram for them ><

 

I have never bought second hand off Instagram...if I post a WTB, I will post it here I think.

 

Oh, same
I was just thinking about how big of a net I might need to cast

 

I love her dress and armor!

 

@skyealloway - Ooh, love that color wig on her. ^_^ She's looking good!

 

@skyealloway - That style of hat definitely works with her outfit! She looks a bit bemused, though. "What do you want me to be?"

 

@skyealloway - That's a lovely design, and should be perfect for one of your girls! Good luck with it!

 

Oooh I really like that pattern! I might have to try it...when I get brave.

 

So I finally got around sending Mr. Taewong a message on instagram and his email and DoA account. I am not sure if he will receive any of the messages, but if I do hear back, I'll let everyone know what he says. But here is the following message:

"Hello Mr. Taewong! I know Creature Doll has stopped producing dolls for several years now, but I was wondering: have you ever considered doing limited runs of your dolls in the future? Such as if you had a certain amount of orders for a specific doll?

Many people miss you and your creations, so I thought it worthwhile to ask, in case it might be a possibility in the future.

I am not sure if you will receive this message due to the time has passed since closing but I hope you have been well and I look forward to hearing back from you,
Epona"

I think Fashion Minis have become popular enough it might be easier to get more interest in his dolls these days. Creature Doll is a really cool name, but it's hard to google due to it being rather ambiguous, so it would be nice to see them open up again in the future, even if they have to rebrand under another name. I'd really like to get Lucia most of all, though I wouldn't mind eventually getting a Phyllis, Karin, and Lilith someday too.

 

@skyealloway - Ooh, glad to see you got her! I don't have a need for her myself, but she's such an interesting sculpt! Looks like you've got some fun textures going on in that diorama too?

 

I just purchased a creature doll Lilith secondhand. She looks very very familiar. I hope her original owner is ok, because she was sold for less than I expected to pay. Does anyone remember how much were these dolls sold for originally? I think they had already stopped producing by the time I joined the hobby. Thank you for this thread, because it is what spurred me to take the plunge! They look beautiful and like good posers. I wish she had elf ears like the others, but she is still very pretty.

 

@kittyglitter - Congrats! Hope you'll share pics! According to my old emails, a basic blank doll cost $330, but with faceup and tan resin cost $400. I need to find/make some sort of backdrop for mine.
