Dollshe 28M discussion

Marjie:
If you look at the bottom of the blog/ announcement for the new body options, it mentions that they would be open to other
options/ combinations. They say to inquire with them about the combination that one is interested in.A torso with neck joint and no hip joint does not seem too difficult of a combination.

Worth asking.

 

Oh awesome, thanks!

 

MAITALIA beat me to it and pointed out that Dollshe is open to other combinations.

Slept on it and think I'll go with all the joints. My Rey's character needs to be athletic and flexible, so the Pose+ / L4 body is perfect.

 

Ah, if I ever got a Grant I would so go for the Pose L2. Those arm and leg joints are all I wanted in that body.

@StrontiumDog - Current pose-ability of the head on the 28M is quite limited in all directions, much like the little guys I'd assume. Ragnar's tattoos were the most time consuming and frustrating things I've ever done in my life. Huginn and Muninn are the ravens on his collarbones, Geri and Freki the wolves adorn his arms, and Yggdrasil covers the entire top half of his back.

 

That's very helpful Quiet and Insane...
I had a message from Dollshe informing me about the options and asking if I had any questions, so I had stuck to the Pose+ / L4 version.

OK, now totally fascinated by Ragnar's tatts...

 

You're quite welcome.
Hah, sadly I don't have too many photos that properly show off his tattoos, as they're mostly covered by his mane of hair. I'll have to get some photos tomorrow if it's sunny. (Really, any excuse for him to get his shirt off...)

 

A new source of smart clothes for the Big Boys. SartoriaJ on Etsy have started making clothes for our big chaps and I have the black suit and Victorian ensemble (pics of that to come). Quality is excellent and the fit generally good. Sleeves and trouser legs are tighter than I would want, but the trousers fit the package in a way I haven't seen with EID clothes.

I have put the whole set of photos in the photo thread, for any who want to see more.

 

Oooh looking sharp!

 

Oooh! So, which thread is the photo thread?

 

It is here. Not just for the 28Ms, but for all the Dollshes.

Thanks! Great photos!!

 

Thank you.

More! The SartoriaJ Victorian ensemble. Again, I have put the full set in the photo thread.

 

That outfit looks simply stunning. I guess I'll have to bookmark that etsy shop .

 

Oh wow, that suit does look fantastic
I have been admiring the footwear from that seller too...just when I thought my lads look and character was set in stone. ( and yes, who knows how long it will be before he turns up )

 

The brogue boots he is wearing (which are also from SartoriaJ) are very well made. I love this Victorian suit. It is spot on.

 

So are the shoes a good fit, too?

 

They are. They take a little effort to get on, but I have yet to find boots like this for anyone that don't. It is the nature of the style, I suppose.

 

*takes another look at the SatoriaJ Etsy site*
Ah...no zip on those brogue boots then...but that's not a problem, Thanks for that MadamMauMau.

Can someone please confirm something. Looking at my little Rey Lewis, he has a metal lining in the top of the neck where the elastic comes up through. Is this the same with the big guys and gals too?
When I had a Zaoll Luv with limited head range, I modded the hole in the top of the neck to make it larger and it made a big difference.

 

It is the same with the Big Boys. The range of movement on my Big Boy is a lot better than on my small one, as he is loosely strung. So, you have a choice, stands like a rock but can't move his head or expressive range of head movement and marginally precarious at standing. My Big Boy does still stand OK, though, so perhaps it is worth loosening the small chaps and see if that helps.

 

Very helpful answer MadamMauMau, that makes absolute sense, thank you.
My big guy will be on the L4 body so he'll have the lower neck joint too, but I hadn't considered loose/tight stringing aspect.

 

Does anyone else have trouble with their David and his eyes? It's listed on the site that he has 14mm eyes, but when I bought 14mm eyes and tried to put them in they were too big :/ should I try for 12mm? What size do you guys use?

 

I use 12mm mako eyes in my David.



Small iris eyes also have potential for him, depending on the expression you're going for. These are 12mm small iris eyes made by dragolivia.

 

12mm full round or 11mm flat-backed for Kuncci. I find something like 4mm iris is about right.

 

I use 12mm Dollshe eyes in mine. Yes, 14 would be way too big for him.

Hi there!

I'm looking for a body for my OC. It should be 70-72 cm, athletic and muscular. The guy should look like a real playboy!) Now I'm choosing between Dollshe 28M and Granado Evol bodies but I cannot find any comparison. Has anyone here hold them both in hand? I need some help to make a decision ...

 

Does anyone know which jointed hands fit well onto the 28M body and match oriental skin?

 

Can anyone recommend me a body? I heard that 28m line will be discontinued, so I'm considering to buy one but have no idea about their body. There's even 4 body of it and it really makes me concerned about which one will be the best.
I'm thinking about buying l2 body now, so what do everyone think?

 

@zekarmisama Sorry, I do not know.
@mig33 the l2 looks good doesn't it? I have the l1 and I love it. It stands and sits sollidly. It is a pretty big body - with a thick neck. Which head do you want it for?

 

I'm thinking about David Kuncci head. I like his head very much.

 

Thank you so much for posting the eye size compassion. I had a feeling the size 14 eyes would be too big because that is what my minifees wear but seeing the photos helped a lot. Also I love your face-up it looks amazing!!!

 

Aw thanks!

Haven't done much with my boy lately because I haven't finished freshening up his boyfriend. But I finally finished the wig and the glue should dry easily during the summer then photoshoot time for my fancy boys. I bought a new photo backdrop last November and I still haven't used it....

I went and ordered the David Kuncci sad face and glass holding hands through BJDivas and I'm excited but I also have never gotten a doll that looks so sad so I don't know how I will feel in person.
