Resin Comparison Dollmore Resin Colors

Sep 18, 2024

    1. Hi! I am interested in ordering a few heads from Dollmore (Zaoll, Zihu, and Sona are on my list). Does anyone know how the "Normal" and "White" resin colors appear these days?

      I have a Mio head in "Normal" and she's more pink than other similar resins I have on hand, but it's still a nice natural color. She was cast in 2021.

      I vaguely recall talk about a "new normal" being an odd/intense color and some discussion that you can request the "old normal," which (if it matches my current Mio) I would prefer. Anyone know anything about that?

      Alternatively, if the "White" isn't snow white (in some photos it appears to be, and in others, just a lighter peach) maybe that would work better for hybrids.

      Thank you very much!
       
    2. I have Dollmore normal from last year and it is, indeed, an intense pink.

      Here's a comparison (DM is the foot) with Souldoll NS and Myou ns-pink (fist):

    3. Thank you! That is indeed very pink! Hmmm... I might need to ask if they can cast in the older color. I don't think this would work with the hybrids I have in mind.

      Does anyone know about their white? Is it paper white?

    4. Their newer normal is definitely MUCH pinker than in the past. I have an older Eve body that has been waiting on a head and I got a head that was cast within the last year. They DO NOT match at all. Luckily I have found another head for the body but now I'm trying to find a pink normal body to go with the floating head I have :sigh
       
    5. Yes - Dollmore white is paper, almost glow-in-the-dark stark white (third from right - Dollmore Judith body):

      More hybrid madness

    6. Whoof, that is WHITE! Thank you for that comparison @MaleficentMrsofEvil! I like white resin, but since I'm going for a hybrid I think it would be hard to find a body to match.

      @Mu Shu - Aw, I'm sorry about your plans not working for the head! I wonder if it would be worth trying the "forced yellowing" technique with controlled exposure to sunlight.

      I'll think about it for my planned order!

      Thank you all for your help :)

    7. I must have just gotten the last of the old normal when my Kara Klum arrived last November โ€“ he's a near perfect match to my circa 2010 Liebe...

    8. @castironteapot - That sounds lucky! They do seem to match very well. Thank you for commenting!

    9. When did you order? That match is really good.

    10. @Mu Shu I ordered in July 2023 and he arrived in late November 2023
