Resin Comparison Dollmore Resin (Again)

May 27, 2025

    1. Hello, all!

      Last September I asked about Dollmore resin colors and was informed that their new resin is very pink.

      However, a few weeks ago I asked Dollmore about the options for the "normal" color and they said:

      "Our old normal skin color is the normal skin mixing with pink color.
      Our new normal skin color is the normal skin mixing with yellow color.
      You can see their difference at the attached photo. :))"

      Here is the photo:

      I feel like this is a good step from them and the yellower color is more what I had in mind (although my favorite is the very pale pink-peach color my Mio was cast in).

      Has anyone received a Dollmore order in this new yellower color? How is it?

      And also, can anyone tell me if it is reasonably close to Fairyland "Normal"?

      Thank you!
       
    2. My Avery (Dollmore Kara Klum) Was just recently made (last month) and I just got him, he is in the new resin colour. I don't have any Fairyland dolls to compare him to. He is very close in colouring to Loong Soul light rose. The colour is very pale. I could compare it to a few other companies if you know what companies are close to Fairyland in colour.

    3. @RabbidBunnies - Pale sounds good! I don't mind if it doesn't match perfectly - I'm more worried about a dark yellow / dark pink color.

      What I'm understanding from Dollmore is that the former "new" color was too pink so now they have this "newer new" option that is more yellow. So I'm wondering if anyone has ordered and received that color yet.
       
    4. It seems this is a "newer" normal – I have a Liebe Klum from around 2010 in the original normal, and the Kara Klum I ordered who arrived was probably some of the last of the original normal and is a near identical shade to Liebe.
      If you look through Dollmore's website for recent past releases, some normal resin dolls are very ham pink.
      I'm glad they're shifting to a less hammy normal – I was looking for a body for a floating head that wouldn't have worked in either their paper-white white resin or very pink normal.

    5. @castironteapot - Thank you for the reply!

      So you think that they've gone back to the "normal" of 2023 due to the extreme pinkness that they ended up on last year? That makes sense to me.

      What they told me is that I can choose between the pink and yellow color - the yellow in their photo does look closer to your two guys. I think it is definitely a more natural color than the super pink one!

    6. It's hard for me to tell whether they've gone back – I'd describe original normal as slightly peachy.
      Here's a comparison pic I took last year:

      It's slightly infuriating that Dollmore still have 10+ year old promo photos on their site for older sculpts, so there's no guarantee as to how the resin colour might turn out. Liebe Klum, Kara Klum, Mettaa and Nayuta Kenzo still have pictures taken in 2010 or earlier.
      As for the ham pink normal, here were some noticeable dolls I saw:

      I hope this information was helpful!
       
    7. Thank you!

      The Dollmore "Old Normal" in your photo is similar to what my Mio's color is, but she is pinker rather than peachy (but pale).

      I agree that it is a bit nerve-wracking trying to figure out what the actual colors are! I guess I will go with the photo they sent and try the more yellow option. I would definitely like to avoid the ham haha. Hopefully it will look okay!

      I really appreciate your reponses!
