Hi I've been looking for a Dollmore Asha Girl for a while and I have been offered one almost exactly what I want, just not the auburn default wig I wanted. I can live with that I already have another wig for her. The seller says the doll is like new and hardly played with and she bought her in July this year. That I think would make the body the 2005/2006 body. I don't want to get a bad deal that will make me feel bad about my future doll. Since I'm a new to BJD collecting I'm asking for help. My questions are What is the differences between the New body that just came out with the elbow piece and the 2005/ 2006? body? I wish they would start numbering or naming the bodies at dollmore. I can count 3 bodies I know of it makes it very confusing to just call them Old or New. Does anyone have multiple Dollmore Kid (Girl?) Dolls with the old body, 2005/2006 body, and the elbow piece body. I have heard they have great posibility and movement, Does it vary between manufactured year? How can you tell the old body and the 2005/2006 body apart? Is the manufactured year on the Dollmores Certificate? So that I can make sure I'm getting one that came out the year I want. And is there anything else I should consider? Thanks Chrys
I have three asha! my Noir asha girl and my Asha boy have a elbow that just bend. My new doppal asha boy has a joint in his arm that allows more move ment and posing. I personaly like the older style body and i could find some old arms for my doppal I would trade them in a heart beat. Mostly cause he does not pose like I have seen other asha with this are type. I like just a simple joint that moves easy and does not require ten min to figure out. Hope that helps.
I have an Asha with the older body (plain elbow) and she poses just wonderfully. She stands like a rock, sits any which way (slumped, straight, swarico) and always has, right out of the box. It is a great body, it poses much better than my Volks MSD (without fussing I mean) and is a very nice size. Not as chunky as Soulkids or Volks, just a hair slimmer, but not slim as Narae.
i have a dollmore u-jee that has the new body with the elbow piece, and i LOVE it. i really wish my other dolls had double jointed elbows because it allows for a lot of wonderful flexibility :3
I didn't even realize Dollmore had changed the body. Makes me want to get another! However that said I am very happy with the old body as well.
since I started this thread I have gotten a torrie with the new elbow joint I'm not sure I like it. The forearm only fits the elbow joint one way. I have to have the elbow lined up the right way or it looks odd.
I love the changeable ears! Like ecchokat says "The ears rock!" I have only had my girl one week and I've already changed her ears out.
