Doll Chateau - Adult Dolls - Part 2

I'm not sure how much the size of DC heads varies, but:

I'm putting an Evangeline on an A04, a hybrid I've seen before, and I saw someone else with an A03 with the same head. I was looking to hybrid Evangeline with a male body and decided on the A04 after a friend showed me this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/BkfQbD9lxMp/

If you go into the doll chateau Evangeline tag and scroll some, you can find more of him. Scrolling through her Instagram also works, but it's pretty far back there so it depends on your patience.

This person has an Evangeline on what I'm guessing is the youth body, though I'd advise asking them about it to be sure: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp523img4lX/

The A03 I believe I saw on mismantis on Instagram's feed, but it's pretty far back there and lacking the neck joint - also a bust shot.

The A04/03 do require modding of the head's neck iirc, but that might be different with a head meant for the Y03.

I'll be able to provide whatever pictures people want of my hybrid whenever I get the body in as a public service (before I cover his 80s punk self in tattoos). Hopefully by then I'll feel less sick than I have the last month, but my layaway will be finished in April and the body should be done by then.

 

I am getting a DC Mephisto and I have no clue what wigs, shoes, or clothes that could fit! can someone help me out?

 

DC doesn't say what his head size is on their website so you'll need to find that to know what wigs to get.

His feet are 9cm so a shoe with a 10cm inside length should be a good fit. That's not hard to find. If you want something casual ACBJD has their SM line:
70cm - 75cm : Alice's Collections
Very similar shoes with the same dimensions can be found lots of other places including eBay and Taobao. If you want something less casual one good place to check is Dollmore. They have quite a few around 10cm:
http://www.dollmore.net/shop/step0.php?b_code=B20050506094358&c_code=C20060405041345

For clothing you'd probably be OK with most stuff advertised for 70cm or SD17 sized dolls, those are common terms you'll see. The DC bodies are skinny so most clothes shouldn't be too tight. You'll mostly have to worry about the sleeves or legs being too short but everything I've ordered has been oversized so you should probably be OK. However I don't have a DC BJD so hopefully someone who does can give you some more specific recommendations.

Enjoy shopping!

 

Standard SD17/70cm/"Uncle" sized clothes just don't fit the A03 or A04 bodies very well. Sleeves and pants tend to be too short... waists are too loose... shoulders are too tight... I have yet to find *anything* that fits my guys without alterations.

Given that, I just make things for them. There's a learning curve involved with patterning and sewing, but when your doll has proportions like the DC guys, it's worth the investment of time.

 

If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. I'm ordering Sexta for the second time before he is discontinued and I'm trying to decide if I should order the embossed chest piece as a second option. Does anyone know if the extra neck piece is wider for the embossed chest or the same as the standard chest?

 

I'd hazard to guess they are the same since my Snowborn fits just right on the neck the embossed chest uses.

Wigs and shoes I can't speak on, unfortunately.

About clothes - I haven't done it yet because I always wait until I have a doll physically around given I don't trust company measurements, but I've seen people say that Alice's Collections will do custom sizing including for DCs. The AC reviews will probably be able to give you more info here, or you could email them directly.

I've seen a few places do custom sizing on aliexpress as well, so I'd look and ask around.

 

@SteamWitch Thank you for sharing your gorgeous Snowborn. I've decided to order both chest pieces

 

I love his colors and that neck piece is so wonderful... Here is my Snowborn I sold...

Thank you, that body just gives anyone who gets it a big ego but I think Falcon can handle it. Though it seems no one wants to wear shirts, I wonder why...

 

I would love to have Big DC boy but i hesitate between the A-body-04 and the A-body-03. Are the are articulated toe anoying to deal with?

 

It annoys me when they look broken. But otherwise, when in a shoe (this body requires large shoes) it doesn't matters

 

I peek into the thread and there's so much Snowborn! They all look absolutely gorgeous too. I'm really excited to say I finally ordered a Snowborn of my own on layaway through denverdoll thanks to the event ... I feel like I've waited forever for a DC discount event! I'm so excited ~

 

It was Falcon's day for a photo so here is more Snowborn.

Hello,
I'm coming here because I need some help !
I'm going to buy a Kevin head before it's going discontinued, but I don't really like DC bodies because of the double joints on wrists.
BUT, when I'm looking the proportions of the doll, I can see that the circonference of the neck is 7,5cm.
It's a very thin neck in comparison of other companies... So, Do you have any ideas; with what I can hybride this head please ?

By the way I planning to buy the head in White Skin, If it's can help ... Or not ... :')

 

I had Snowborn on an AoD SD body it looked great.

 

thank you

 

I'm in the same boat. I bought a Sexta head in white before it was discontinued, but couldn't afford the body to go with it. Now I wonder if there are other compatible bodies I could put it with?

 

Just put in my order at Alice's Collections for my Dolores. Can I request a picspam of any of these gorgeous weirdos in celebration?

Can anyone tell what what size eyes he wears? I saw one thing on the wiki that said 18mm, but couldn't corroborate that anywhere else.

 

I don't have the Dolores head on my Dolores body, I have Snowborn but it is a beautiful body. I took out his extra joints but I may put them back, they add to his uniqueness.
Pointless with Falcon by SteamWitch, on Flickr

 

Goodness the Snowborn sculpt is so beautiful! If I had the room for a doll of that scale I'd order him right away!! (also what a beautiful set wow!!)

I'm still trying to consolidate in my head the look of the extra joints on DC dolls. The extra wrist and sometimes ankle joints I can get behind, but I'm not so sure about the extra neck joints tho,,,

 

@CryingQuail that's exactly where I am, as well. I'll probably try to keep him as-is for a bit (if only because I'm too lazy to resting when not needed), but if he comes needing restrung... I fear the neck joint is going to be the first thing to go but who knows!

Can the extra neck joint be taken off the Dolores body? It looks like the filigree comes up pretty high (but I've never researched it)

Oh! And seconding the request for "what size eyes do they take." 18mm seems plausible, but I haven't actually seen it confirmed anywhere besides the wiki, either

 

I don't think taking the extra joint off the neck would work on the Dolores body, besides the head has such great range of motion with it on. It's not awkward at all and you really don't notice it. The ankle joints are the only ones I've ever had difficulty with as far as getting them to stand properly, the legs want to roll sideways onto the ankles. The extra wrist joints make the doll kind of oddly cool, so it's a matter of taste.
My Snowborn is using 14mm small iris eyes in the photo above but I don't know about Dolores' head.

It was his turn to get photographed so here he is again. I hadn't tried this wig on him because I thought it would be too small but it fits him and his coloring perfectly.

You can absolutely take the extra neck joint off on the non-embossed A-03 body. I did that with my Dolores.

Steam is right about the embossed filigree version, though. That one really needs the neck piece. The decorative bits would get in the way otherwise.

Re: eye size... My guy isn't wearing traditional eyes. He has 18mm amethyst spheres. But while I was waiting for those to arrive, I had him in a pair of 16mm low-dome flat-backs. They fit pretty well, though I'd probably go with something with a smaller iris if I were going to keep Scribe in "normal" eyes.

 

I had removed the extra neck piece on Dolores body with sculpted neck but i had to place a donut instead for the head to still be able to move.

 

My two boys ♥
Fergus and Agrippa (Evangeline head...yeah it´s a boy XD)

 

Is there a database on what fits these dolls? I have an incoming Erwin on the old Adult body and he’s soo long and skinny ive no idea what will fit.i have plenty of 70cm and Dollmore model clothes but they will be far too wide on him I’m sure.

 

I took the extra joints off, and just buy SD clothes XD
70cm things are too big for this guys x.x

 

After admiring the 1/3-size DCs for a long time, I've got my Denis!

He's so beautiful and fun to pose. I figured it wouldn't hurt to have just one 1/3 scale doll, but I think I might have doomed myself...

The 16mm glass eyes he came with fit pretty well in his eyewells, but I may take the advice farther up the page and look for something with a small iris, as normal irises fill most of the eye, for this sculpt at least.

I'm trying to decide what to do about a wig. Usually I have a pretty good idea of what I want a doll to look like but this guy has me all indecisive!

 

Salutations all! I'm essentially "restarting" the hobby and I just want to have one doll and really focus on him/her for quite some time, I've easily narrowed it down to two dolls and one of them is dollchatea, Dennis. I was hoping I could pop in here and ask a few questions to help me decide, also if you have a Dennis or the A-Body 03 or 04 please drop some pics I'd love to see them!


-How long did your doll take to get to you after ordering?
-which body is better A-Body 03, or A Body 04?
-Where do you find clothes?
-What should I look for when clothes shopping to ensure a fit?
-What is his shoe size?

Thanks!

 

Basically the only difference is the 3 has the extra length on the neck. If I had a choice right now I'd choose the 4 body. Mine has the embossed neck so he is pretty. I don't know about clothes that might fit, nothing I've bought for my other 70cm dolls fit properly, they are too loose, so I make his clothes. He wears a Dollmore Glamor model size shoe, big feet. Feet, 9+cm long and almost 4cm wide.
I don't know if the DC waiting room is up-to-date but you can check there for wait times.

 

The bodies are the same, but one has a longer neck and one has jointed toes. Whichever you prefer is up to you! The basic jointing is the same, and the extra neck part can be taken out (much like the extra wrist/ankle parts).

I make my own clothes, but when looking for clothes you may want to keep in mind that the body's proportions may differ from other dolls. Make sure that sleeves and pant legs are long enough, and the clothes have enough room for the shoulders and hips by comparing the measurements of their sizing to the doll. Because the body has such a small waist clothes may not be as closely fitted there as you expect, but

The non-jointed feet seem to me (from the company measurements) to be slightly smaller, and while my a-4 has sd17 shoes on currently I can't be sure if that's because all of them fit or just because the particular shoes happen to be pointed (and thus have more room). I bought the shoes for an another doll initially so no harm was done. I'd double check the inner size of the shoe with a seller if it's not mentioned in a sales post to make sure the shoes can fit whatever size your doll's feet end up being.

 

This particular body, no matter what head I put on it loves to be naked or nearly so. Falcon is no different.

Just a quick update I've decided on Dennis, thanks so much for the super helpful replies, oh and Sugarbeta did you make those clothes? They are amazing!

 

@M_Kun009 You will not regret Denis! His sculpt is just beautiful in person. The clothes on mine were a few pieces from AC, so he wouldn't have to be naked when he got home. He's so skinny he can pull off multiple layers well without it looking too bulky, and 1/3-boy leggings fit the A04 body pretty well! However one of the slashes on the pair mine's wearing is right over his weenie, so it actually draws more attention than it would have if I'd just left him nude, lol.

 

Oh cool, that's great to hear! Did you get him through Alices Collections? If so would you mind telling me how long it took from placing the order to the package arriving? I know it takes a while for production and whatnot but I'd like to get an idea of the time.

 

Yep! They're my go-to dealer, so convenient. I ordered my Denis in mid February and he arrived around mid June, so about 5 months?

 

woof! That's quite a wait! I suppose it's worth it though Hopefully I can get the money for him within the next month but I'm not holding my breath lol. I can't wait to see more pics of yours, you're like the only other person I've seen who has him lol. Anyway thanks so much for the info!

 

Hi)). I want to join the topic. Recently I completed the image of my Fergus, although I stayed at home for two years and waited in the wings. He is a hybrid on the old body, which is without additional hinges.

Welcome to the thread and he looks amazing!

 

Thank you very much

 

Hello, I'm new to pretty much of all of this... very taken with the Doll Chateau line. Wanted to know if anyone knows what sculpt the head is that models DC's outfit AC-19? Seems to be on male adult body, but none of the other faces quite seem to match up. I think I've done the picture correctly this way: http://www.doll-chateau.com/Uploadfiles/20160811094804615.jpg

 

Looks like Medeas to me! I feel like I also can't tell 100% from that angle, though...

 

I'll go look at Medeas' page again, thank you!
I was sort of thinking Pierre, something about the nose? So hard to tell. I would love to have whoever he is, that long wig looks so good on him!

 

I found him on Flickr, it's Medeas.

 

Amazing how different he looks in the clothing shots when compared to his promo pic. I guess good news for me he is still in production, thank you both for your help! Also so many incredible pics in this thread - Wow - Stephan_Swallow's Fergus - so beautiful -

 

Stephan_Swallow Oh, your Fergus is amazing!

Hello again from my boy - Herbalist and sorcerer Arsenius Silge (DC Dennis)

 

Oh wow, i love his look! that smokey eye shadow, and his eye colour is really nice! Which body did you choose for him?
i really like that sculpt as well, i kept circling back around to him because their full set pictures were so striking.
DC could put me in the poor house, yes one of each please!

 

A-body-04 (71cm)

 

Greetings! Does anyone have pics of the A - 06 body? I love the creepy, slender aesthetic but would love to see how it stands and poses. Thanks for any help!

 

I haven't been on here in over a year, it feels like, and I haven't had the motivation to do anything doll-wise in a long while, but I just got my Doll Chateau Mephisto.Pheles I got in March arrived and I am in LOVE! He's my first 70cm doll, so I'm not used to how big he is yet. I do wonder, though, is it common for Doll Chateau dolls to come with VERY floppy legs? His arms are fine, if in need of a bit of sueding, but I can just flop him around like a ragdoll.

 

Yes, you do need to tighten him up, but not too tight.

 

@hologuts - So exciting!!! I'm supposed to be getting my M.P soon too. please, some pictures if you have time?

 

@SteamWitch I thought so, I just wasn't sure! I've had to do the same thing to my secondhand Dollzone Annie, so it's not a new experience, I just need to get the time and a helper to do so!

@Grimalkin Ooh, gladly! I took a few preliminary photos, but I want to wait until I have better lighting to post photos of him here or on Instagram. So not now, but soon.

 

Oh my goodness!!! I'm totally in love! He looks just like a young Snape!

 

I finally took a decent picture of my boy, and decided on a name for him! He's Victor Tepes Dracul, although the first part is a pseudonym. Mostly because I realize his appearance already looks like a character I had in the first place!

 

oh that lovely face... so glorious! thank you for the picture!
what color resin is yours?
I really wanted the bone white, but I was late to the party and could no longer order him directly because of the discontinuation, so I had to find one on the way to a dealer that was unclaimed. I wound up with the new peach resin. i have no idea how it's actually going to look ha, but never mind that, definitely worth it to get one!

 

I used the cream resin, but I also did some image adjusting. He's like, I'd assume a yellowish white color? It's a nice color! I thought it was going to be a bit peachier, but that might have been my misinterpretation.It looks great with his outfit, though... Just hard to photograph!
