Fan Studio / Fanff_11 discussion

I just discovered these beautifully sculpted bodies! Looks like I was just a couple months too late for the latest ordering period Apparently they were sold thru New Clover Singing, but I don't see any listing? Sold out or otherwise? Either way, I suppose it's too early to expect another pre-order anytime soon, so off to the marketplace I go!

I'd love to see any pics anyone has of their Fanff girls! Especially any hybrids!

 

OMG I love it! I’ve been looking at “natural” bodies like Dollshe’s for some time, and I think this might be it! I had seen their head sculpts, but I think this is the first time I see their bodies

Now let’s hope they make something in MSD size (I read on their insta they’re preparing new things)

 

Oh! Hi :: raises hand :: I have both the Yue and Hai heads and the body.
So nice to see a thread.

(And since it was mentioned above, I got mine through New Clover Singing.)

 

oh i’m so excited to see what they have planned for the future - looks like they’re launching a new website soon too. absolutely in love with the hai sculpt, i want her!!!

 

@sahoma what a gorgeous girl!!

I saw on the artist’s weibo account that some people were apparently accusing them of copying Dollshe (It’s very obvious they didn’t lol) But seeing them next to each other makes me appreciate the Fanff sculpt even more! The legs are especially well shaped.

I sent an email to new clover singing asking if there might be any returns or cancelled orders for the normal skin body that they would be able to sell. I highly doubt it but it never hurts to ask, right?

 

Oh! Really? Wow. I totally missed all that.

I also own a Diana and they seem quite different to me. The Fanff body is very delicate and graceful. While the Diana body has a lot of swagger. Hehe. Maybe that makes no sense as a point of reference, but just my impression of them.

The Fanff body is better at holding poses by far. It comes sueded really nicely.

 

I coincidentally was actually able to see a Fanff Hai in person over the weekend, and I agree that the sculpting is much more noticeably different in person. Dollshe's sculpting is very rounded and have that almost bow-legged stance, while the Fanff body is... sharper? I also saw the pre-sueded joints in a box opening video. Every time I see it I become more impressed with it!

I also sent a similarly worded email to moonlight BJD while I was at it lol. I actually had messaged the artist last week as well on instagram, but I know instagram really loves making message requests as hidden as possible most of the time

I found a full Yue for sale secondhand, but she's in white skin. Seeing the Hai in person and seeing how pale the normal skin is, I definitely want to see if the artist or a dealer has a spare in normal :P

 

So a couple of unbelievably awesome things happened- I bought a secondhand Yue in white skin, thinking I love the body too much to pass it up and if I find a normal skin one in the future I can get hopefully that if and when I come across it. Literally the ~day after~ I got Yue in the mail, Moonlight BJD got back to me and they said the seller would be able to send me a normal skin body I was definitely not planning on making TWO doll purchases before the room, but I am very thankfully in a position where I was able to jump on that right when they emailed me.

Anyway, I'm very glad about the normal skin body in more than one way- the white skin is SO WHITE... But the Yue sculpt is just so drop dead gorgeous. I was honestly really at a loss what to do with her but she looks so good next to one of my boys who has been in search of a girlfriend, so as soon as I got back from visiting my family I got to work on a faceup for Yue! She still has no name but I wanted to make her up to look kind of like the elven Princess Nuala from Hellboy 2.

Pic spam warning lmao

She's got no clothes/wig/shoes for herself, but I think she's claimed the black sclera eyes that didn't work out for a different doll I have. Also, her posing abilities are just really blowing me out of the water. I was kinda bummed that she doesn't have mobility joints in her thighs but she's probably one of my best resin posers. I've had bad luck with matching SD sizes/proportions in the past, but this size is perfect for my collection.

I'm head over heels in love! I am officially a Fanff fan

 

She’s absolutely stunning! Congratulations on your new girl/s! I saw on the artist’s instagram that they’re making a 1/4 girl too, and I think that’s going to be my chance

 

Oh no, 1/4 is my favorite size If it’s a slim/mature mini, I’m safe. If not… I should start saving up lol

 

WELL alright oh boy, so much is happening all at once at the same time! Right after I made that post I got an email from Moonlight BJD saying that my normal skin body had shipped! And when I checked the tracking number... I was already out for delivery So I came home to my second Fanff doll waiting for me- just the body this time, the head will be an impldoll Sicily.

Doll nudity below!

Here's a comparison between the Volks White and Volks Normal. The actual tone isn't a *huge* difference, but the warmth and the way the light shines on/through the resin makes it so much more.... healthy looking lol. Seeing the difference in person makes me all the more glad I was able to get this resin color!

Untitled by b.masi110, on Flickr

And here's the body dressed in some of the clothes I've gotten for my character- She's holding the 1/6 scale version I made several years ago of that same character. Love the shape of her legs in those tights!

Untitled by b.masi110, on Flickr

Aaaaaand one more shot of my unnammed Yue. Quickly taken before work to take advantage of the natural light that was absent when I finished her faceup.

Untitled by b.masi110, on Flickr

I'm not looking to get the impldoll head for my Fanff body for a least a few months- 2022 was good to me in terms of doll collecting so I want to appreciate & spend more time on all my 2022 purchases before I go ahead adding to my doll family!

 

Fanff just posted a teaser on Instagram of the new doll body they’re working on- and there is a mobility joint in the thigh!!

Fanff_11 on Instagram: "#bjd"

I know someone mentioned earlier that they thought the new Fanff body would be 1/4, but the body in the pic seems to be wearing the same top as Yue from their previous post: Fanff_11 on Instagram: "#bjd"

I’m excited to see how this new body is going to look- if the sculpting is going to be much different (if at all) from the Model 60, since it looks pretty much the same as far as I can tell with the exception of the thigh joint.

 

This is one of the dolls I’m hoping to own by end of year hai / yue are just too beautiful.

 

My Hai is about to come home so I am joining this thread. Will post pics soon!

 

Here she is. ♥️ Hoping to see more of this girl!

 

She is beautiful!

 

She's absolutely stunning, congrats!!

 

Thank you both!

Also, did anyone realize the heads have serial numbers?

 

@dolliberate where did you buy the head or doll?

 

Looks like there is going to be a pre-order come April so I'm going to save now! I can't decide if I just want a body or a full doll, their faces are gorgeous but I am dying to replace my Feeple girl's body and I don't love having duplicate bodies...Maybe I can splurge on both if I do some overtime LOL.

@nancy_schroeder_ca I haven't purchased one yet but the the international dealer is located here: https://www.moonlightbjd.com/.

 

Messaged the artist directly on Weibo, they have* a Taobao shop. I never really use dealers.

As far as I know they won't be selling body-only anymore. The heads must always come with a body and vice-versa. But I suppose a dealer can split it if you order from them?

 

I bought my body from Clover-Singing so that may be an option also.

 

Their instagram says they're working on a website, too. I can't get a taobao account to even browse so I only have dealer option, sadly. I don't mind buying a full doll for the body if it comes down to it, at least. Such beautiful sculpts my girls can always share a body if it came down to it!

 

I am very eager to see a side-by-side of the Model 60 and the new body! As much as I adore the Model 60 for it’s form, I do love me some thigh mobility joints… Part of me is wondering if I could swap the legs between the two bodies Although I have been focusing much more on my 1/4 dolls and I wouldn’t want to keep any more bodies than necessary for my OC shelling project. For this reason I’ve also decided I should part with my Yue. (Sad, I know! She’s such a gorgeous sculpt but she deserves more attention than I would be able to give her.)

But speaking of hybrids, I actually bought some Dikadoll jointed hands in normal yellow for my Volks Normal Model 60 body. Dikadoll normal yellow seems to be a decent ~enough~ match to actual Volks resin (?), so we’ll see how the match is when the hands actually get here. I’ll be sure to share pics!

 

Just ordered a body for possibly hybriding my Feeple! I doubt the match will be amazing due to the peachy/pinkish coloring of Feeple dolls versus Volks being more yellow but nothing blushing can't fix. I'll definitely show photos once it comes in if anyone would like.

 

Looks like a comparison between the old Model 60 body and the new body has been posted! (Warning for dollie nudity) Fanff_11 on Instagram: " #bjd"

She’s definitely curvier than the first body, and she has thigh joints! It also looks like she’s able to slouch a bit as well?

 

I asked Newcloversinging if she plans to host orders for the new doll. I know the artist says on her Instagram that she has an international website underway, but I am the impatient type, lol.

I have the previous Model body, but I think it's a bit too petite for the character I have. The (Fantasiadoll brand) head I have for it looks just a tad too mature and big on it. I think I could give the model body to another head of mine if I had the newer body for this character. Fanff also seem to sell bodies separately on their Taobao, so I'm positive I would be able to get it without having to buy a head I won't have use for.

 

Are the measurements for the new body posted somewhere? I’m only on Instagram for the most part and I see the measurements for the new head, but not the body.

But I agree with a bigger head potentially looking better on the new body- I checked the comparison pic Fanff posted on her Instagram between the older and the newer body, and the head looks really tiny on it even tho it’s very similarly proportioned to the old body.

——
And for those who haven’t seen it yet, here’s a pic of the new head Liu! Fanff_11 on Instagram: " #bjd"

 

@Mainframe110 There is a post on doll.tita page on instagram about these dolls (the newer of the two), when you scroll to the 7th slide of it, there's the body measurements translated to English. I haven't seen them translated elsewhere.

On another note - I ordered the body only from Newclover since she said yes to selling them. I hope the medium heel feet are a bit easier to find shoes for, my Model body's heels are floating in air in all of her SD16 shoes.

 

My Dikadoll jointed hands arrived the other day and I wanted to share with everyone how they look on the Model 60 body!

I got the 1/3 female jointed hands in Normal Yellow, and my Model 60 body is in the "Volks Normal" color. I based my color choice off of this official Dikadoll image:



In real life, the color match is okay. I'd say about an 75%-90% match, depending on the lighting and how picky you are with resin matching.

I also happen to have a doll in Dikadoll's Normal Pink, so just as a comparison you can see that even though Normal Yellow is slightly yellower than Fanff 11 Volks Normal, the Normal Pink is way too pink.

Spoiler: dika vs fanf

Dikadoll_Resin_comparison by b.masi110, on Flickr

The size of the hands are interesting, they're smaller (and less aesthetically pleasing) than the Model 60 hands and look small when looking at the proportions of the body as a whole, but the smaller size doesn't necessarily look bad when compared to the proportions of the head. (I put my currently eyeless White Skin Yue head on the NS body, so ignore the color difference between the head and the hands)

Dikadoll has a few different sizes of jointed hands, and the Model 60 hands (6.4 cm long) seem to measure just in between Dikadoll's 1/3 female hands (6 cm long) and their 1/3 Male hands (7 cm long). So I'm not sure if the male hands would look too big.

Spoiler: pic 4

As for the wrist joint, the ball joint of the wrist fits nicely on the forearm, but I definitely need to tie a string to the Dikadoll hands the way a string is tied to the Model 60 hands. I can't get a full range of motion with the hook attached directly to the hand and the palm of the hand keeps wanting to move independently from the ball of the wrist, which makes me nervous that I might accidentally detach the finger elastics.

Overall, definitely an aesthetic downgrade from the gorgeously sculpted Fanff 11 hands, but I wanted jointed hands for this character and I think these work nicely.

 

Sneaking into this page as I’ve ventured down a very deep rabbit hole and am now in desperate need of Yue. She gives me the same butterflies my grail gave me so I’m now on a mission to get one haha anyone know how frequent they hold pre orders? I won’t allow myself to miss the next one.

 

I believe July? It was moved from April, but they should have an international website soon.

 

Dropping in because these dolls are sooooooo beautiful. I don't own one but I DO plan to buy one when the preorder goes up. Keeping a close eye on things. I mostly want the body to hybrid for one of my other girls but those faces are so beautiful I can't resist. I'll get one somehow I swear!

 

Last week I got a shipping notice for my Victoria body I ordered through the artists Taobao (to replace my Model body in hopes that it will be a little thicker and more mature). I was told apparently body only orders will ship before full doll orders. I will see her in a week or two. I hope she's a keeper because the head I have sure is picky.

 

Exciting! I hope this new body is a good fit for your doll's head!

As for my own hybriding adventures, I got my Impldoll Sicily head in July (?) and she finally has a decent pair of eyes so I can't help but share yet another pic. The Impldoll head fits just about perfectly on the Model 60 neck and the proportions work fantastically.

You can see all three resin colors really clashing- er, contrasting clearly here lol

@Mainframe110 She looks cute! Luckily all resin tends to more or less mellow to match over time.

I just received me body! The Victoria body is definitely bigger and fuller than the model body. Unfortunately I no longer have my model body, so I cannot do a side by side. I compared the newcomer with all my dolls, and I think she most matches in size to a feeple65. They can share clothes, but sharing the bra department might not work very well as this girl still has a petite bust. I like how it's not completely flat anymore, so she fits more of the clothes I own, like this delicate SID size knit top by Olga Borontova.

She also seems better engineered: resin is thicker at places with a high breakage risk, like elbows and ankles, and she has a lot of silicone inserts, grooves of which are cast in her resin, to help with posing. They seem to hold in place firmly. Much more functional than the glued silicone strips the Model body came with (and which already greeted me halfway out of her thigh sockets when I unboxed her)! Victoria has the silicone rings in thigh joints, shoulders, and even her back so she can hold many poses MUCH better than the previous body.

The new middle heel feet are a life saver! (I think they are now called high heel feet, and the ones that come with the body for free, previous Model body's heel feet, are now promoted to being called "super high heel feet"??) With the super high heel feet I was not able to use any shoes because the foot was too arched and the heel didn't touch the sole of any shoe. The lower heel feet fit sd16 size shoes from Taobao perfectly, so she can now share those with my FeePle65 too.

Her ankles have a tendency to bend slightly inwards, but she came with a pack of silicone discs so I thought of putting a pair in her ankles and seeing if that helps. It's not super bothersome, just looks funny in photos. Another thing I also noticed is she has some difficulty keeping her legs spread while standing. She tries to pull them back together. She has some wire inserted in her thigh joints (doesn't go down to her knees though) so I considered removing it to see if it's contributing to the issue or battling it, because I have a couple other pre-wired bodies from different companies and they also have this issue with their legs.

She also came with a free stringing tool! Yay!

I suspect Fanff has likely swapped casters. I noticed first thing the resin is a lot more velvety to touch now, and also completely matte as compared to the previous shiny and "hard" resin. It's a bit darker and less yellow than the previous batch, but not noticeably, so combining parts from the previous and this preorder still works. I'm actually wondering if Fanff moved to using the same caster as LLT, because this resin feels exactly the same. My gold wedding ring also leaves temporary gray marks on this resin if I handle her while wearing it, and it never did that with any other resin except LLT! The downside is this resin is also very "porous", something which my LLT also was: stains can go deep and be difficult to remove. My doll came with a little bit of black smudge on her hand, likely from the factory or agent, and it took me minutes of scrubbing with a melamine sponge to even get it to fade!

Since I would rather not flood this thread by posting more photos, if someone wants to see my picture review, I posted it on my Instagram stories (link in signature). Unfortunately it's only up for 24 hours.

The head on the photo is Fantasiadoll sleepy Alice, the small 2017 version.

 

Omg thank you for that great review! I had suspected that the engineering & casting would be greatly improved considering how the thin ankle issue was quietly fixed from the initial castings of the Model 60 to the later castings. Not going to lie I'm very jealous of the new mobility (The chest joint and the thigh joints AH!!) but the physique of the Model 60 is what drew me to it, that being said I'm very happy for those who wanted a curvier body from this amazing artist.

Your girl is absolutely stunning btw, congrats!

 

There’s officially a Fanff website now!!

https://www.fanffdoll.com/?fbclid=P...CyebhUw2yv1B2UbqcRMuUuvI_A8mf47_Nd-WYLesXLl34

This is from the 2 Instagram posts today:

CRIESSS I'm so glad you loved the Yue sculpt!! It was sad to see her go, but I feel like at the moment I prefer the look of Hai and now with the new sculpts--Liu is so pretty as well!!! Fanff has been a favorite of mine the past year just cause her style is so high fashion and chic...tempted with this order period oof

 

She's literally so beautiful!
What resin colour is this? I couldn't choose between LT and T, but this colour basically glows
How have you found her colour to hold up over time, since you've had her for a bit now?

 

I also really love the dolls made by FanFF!! I own Yue and Liu, and this is my Liu.

 

Hey all, I believe I'll be ordering a fanff model body soon, they're so gorgeous! Does anyone know if they fit SD16? I'm trying to figure out what kinda clothes they can wear.

 

According to both measurements (Fan Model 2.0 vs SD16) they are almost identical with Fan having a 1cm larger hip measurement in circumference. @rsdollatelier owns lots of SD16 bodies as well as the FanFF body - they posted a review and comparison to their Instagram if I'm not mistaken. Outside of that, there are TaoBao stores that sell clothing made on those bodies exclusively - so if you shop on sites like that I can suggest MVS, Four Pounds of Peaches and KeKe Fei's. All varying styles/aesthetics.

 

I believe this is Light Tan as this is what my girl looks like. Her color is still holding up but she's fully been in her book since I've bought her as I haven't had the time to do any customization yet. The shade is a little dull in comparison to some other tans dolls I've owned (Fairyland, Dollshe, Unoa) but I don't mind it at all.

 

@Faerie_Soup Thanks, thats great info! I've spent a lot of time avoiding SD16 clothes as I have exclusively 62+ bigger girls and never wanted to be tempted, so I'm excited to have an excuse to dive in now

 

@Deer Mann Your Liu is beautiful- and her face up is simply perfect! Please post a photo of your Yue also?

 

Welp, it's done. I have ordered my girl, it's time to wait now but I'm so looking forward to my light tan Hai coming home. Yay!

 

Aah, twinsies! I got her in LT as well
What do you have planned for her faceup/aesthetics wise?

 

Oh awesome! I originally planned for Pink Skin but the more I looked and thought about it, I was like oooooh but LT though! So yeah I went with that and I'm super stoked to ger her home, even if I have her look all planned out but still have NO idea what I'll call her. lol

Her faceup and aesthetics are gonna be black lipstick, dark smokey eyeshadow, piercings and lots of studs and spikes for her clothing, lots of black and punky sort of stuff. She's very different to my 2 finished girls right now.

 

Aaah please post pics when she's all done, she sounds like she's going to be stunning! So glad to see an alt look on tan skin.

 

I absolutely will! I'm not sure yet if I will find a faceup artist to make her look how I want or attempt it myself, (with zero skills I might add!) but yes, I needed more alt dolls in my crew cause although that's my fav style and how I myself dress/look most of my dolls do not and I'm working on making my crew how I always dreamed. lol

But yes absolutely! Alt looks on tan skin/poc is amazing and I needed some of that in my life and she decided this was how she was meant to look. I'm so excited to see her in person and start getting her put together. Gotta wait till at least october though booooo lol

 

Forgot to mention I caved and got a Liu in chocolate. Time for me to also consider how I want to customize my girls, I'm kind of thinking of doing a Nana thing where one is super girly and the other is more punk.

 

Sure!! This is my Yue. She and Liu are sisters.

 

Anyone eyeing out the new shoes FanFF posted?I really like them for my LT Hai.
Made me cave and add regular heel feet to my pre-order and the new shoes x) October can't come soon enough, aaaah!

 

I seriously love every shoe they make...I'm trying to be responsible but I may do a bulk shoe order lol. Kind of wanting to do an "Office Siren" deal with my girl now.
