Granado Tiny Doll Discussion

It‘s rare to see dolls in this size, I'm wondering where else can people purchase clothing and shoes. Anyhow I love this new idea! Can't wait to see dolls in this size as they are so much easier to carry and post XD

 

He's here! But his eyes and clothes are at my apartment, and I'm at my parents house, so I'll have to share more pics later.



He's "sunshine" resin, by the way. And the some of the magnets in his changeable bits have fallen out, so I'll have to re-glue them.

I just noticed that three of the fingers on his left hand have cracks in them. I'm going to email the company to tell them/ ask for a replacement.

 

So good to see the Sunshine boy. I have ordered my 45 cm in Sunshine and was worried that the new resin seemed darker than the Sunshine we see here on my Andrew avatar. I have always preferred this warm resin and have several here already.

My 31.5 boy in tan is already in the country and should be home in a couple of days.

 

He's my first doll from Granado, so i didn't really know what the color would look like in person. I was originally going to order tan, I'm happy I picked this color instead! I'm looking forward to seeing how the tan looks in comparison.

 

Ooh, that's such a lovely color! Now I wish I'd bought two guys.

 

@Leo Pheonix Congrats! He's beautiful!

I love his color too! Now I regret getting NS, but I wasn't sure what I was going to do with him and it seemed versatile... Dang. Maybe they'll do another order... :B I can never have too many tiny boys (r-right?).

 

Hard to have too many @Idoru ! There's another sculpt I'm hoping they'll make a tiny version of...
In the meantime, here's my new guy with eyes and clothes-


I don't think the wig really suits him, but it will work for now. Does anyone have any advice on getting the magnet in his uh- "normal" part" to not leave a gap?

 

I've got the "handy" part fixed, but will have to try to deepen the magnet hole on the "normal" one, and my exacto knife is at my parents' house. He has clothes, so no one will know anything is missing, right?

 

I'm so happy with this little tan guy who arrived this morning.. He is body blushed and face up complete. Just headless while I make a hard cap for his wig. Hardest job was trying to insert eyes with my big fingers. Just waiting on his new hard cap wig.

I checked his "parts" and all seem well lined up with magnets in place. I guess this may have been part of the reason why the darker resins were slower in shipping.

 

In a wig two of the girls had been taking turns with, and shoes that didn't fit anybody-


They both seem to be his now! The shoes are long and so are his feet, which is great, since they're nice shoes.

 

Ahh I'm so jealous of everyone's new arrivals! (And happy to see them, of course.) I got my shipping notice but the tracking hasn't updated since the 29th... He's somewhere... Out there... Maybe it's a sign that I need to prepare him some clothes before he gets here. Has anyone posted detailed measurements? (Granado?)

 

Oh thank you! That's right, you did say. It fell clean out of my mind. Thanks!

 

I love the tan resin. I have body blushed him and he has a face up. I also made his wig. Plenty of clothes here from other Hot Toys, JI Joes and Kens. Bicycle is from Amsterdam.

 

@charon He looks amazing!

It's really cool that we all have the same sculpt but they are all different!

 

I have a few big Granado boys here and those spread hands always annoyed me for dressing but certainly help Lucifer hold the bike handles.

I'm having so much fun here while he tries on dozens of Hot Toy outfits. I usually sew for all my dolls but no need here.

 

A lot of doll clothes are available on ebay, so you could look there.

I sent Granado images of my dolls cracked (though not actually broken) wrist and fingers, and they said they'll send me a replacement. So I won't be permanently worried that his left hand is going to break.

 

Hot Toys clothes are sold on Ebay and reasonably cheap. I find the only 1/6th shoes he can wear are those made of rubber. The soft rubber ones are perfect. Plastic is just too rigid. You can also find props like furniture and musical instruments there as well. I have just ordered a chestnut horse for my Lucifer - will take a couple of weeks to come from China. He already has two motorbikes.

 

It seems like Fashion Royalty Homme clothes may fit this size Granado body pretty well. I received a jacket today and it was a good fit - I also have a pair of jeans and a pair of sneakers coming, so I should know more next week. (The jacket was actually from a FR fullset, so it's an 'official' one, by Integrity.)

You can look for 'fashion royalty homme' on eBay or Etsy, and there's also Clear Lan, which makes really nice stuff:

I'm really curious to know if the pants fit--though I guess I can test that theory tomorrow when my guy gets in! I have a shirt and pants I got from a Taobao store meant to fit FR, and the shirt fits my Soom boy very well but the pants don't fit in the waist at all (far too big).

 

Mine just arrived! I’m really impressed by his posing and the only negative is the weird shape of his heels, that might need sanding. I was planning to sculpt a 1/6 scale head for the body but at the moment he’ll be keeping the lucifer head. Now, eyes... tiny, tiny eyes...

 

I suggest Dreaming Tree Studio eyes. My guy has a pair in "suede" and they are perfect for him.

 

Someone said that sanding the heels might mess up the balance/how well he can stand. I'm not sure if it will, but it did make me think.

 

I got my boy!! The FR pants do indeed not QUITE fit--but the shirt fits him perfectly. Agree with others--hard plastic shoes are a no-go thanks to his odd heel shape.



More pictures are here in my box opening thread!

He's so beautiful... I need to get him eyes and his own look!! Still not even sure what to call him.

 

Eee, congrats, @Idoru! We'll figure out this boy's sizes yet.

 

Congrats @Idoru !

Your boy is looking quite stylish, @SteamWitch !

I'm still not sure what mine's name is... I wish I could make up my mind!

 

Well, the Fashion Royalty Homme shoes would be an absolutely perfect fit... if I could get them over those huge heels. As it stands, the doll's heels just mash the backs of the shoes flat. If I had stiffer shoes - or if I modded the doll's heels to be less bulgy - these shoes would be perfect. I imagine a pair of sandals or backless shoes would work fine, as well.

 

I ordered several pairs of 1/6th Hot Toy shoed on Ebay for my boy but as I am already a collector of Hot Toys I found I already have a good selection of them here already. Smart dress shoes, sporty runners and boots. As long as they are made of soft rubber they are perfect. Avoid the hard plastic ones.

 

These shoes have real laces but don't need adjusting. The outfit is from Hot Toys on Ebay. The pleather jacket is fully lined with two real zip pockets in the lower front and two more tiny zips on the sleeve cuff. Jeans have the tiny fop pocket as well as all usual details. I had to loosen the shirt cuff and sew snaps so that he could jet his hands in. I have more than a dozen similar outfits here but some sleeves can be restricting with his spread fingers. Granado seems to favour spread fingers and when I pointed that out with my Mars on the Evol body Crocus offered two new sets as an option with more closed fists. He has not designed extras for the Vigor body (yet).

 

The FR Homme jeans arrived today and I embarked upon the horror that is removing Lucifer's feet in order to get his legs into trousers. AUGH that was the WORST. It took me about forty-five minutes of pulling and hurting my fingers and dropping tiny s-hooks and fiddling around with tweezers, but eventually I got him be-trousered and re-footed.

As others have said, the FR Homme pants are too big in the waist - but they are a perfect fit otherwise. And, since the jeans I bought close with a snap fastener in the back, moving the fastener over about a centimeter and re-sewing it results in an absolutely perfect fit that even looks just fine. Which is good, because I'm damned if I'm removing those feet again!

 

I'm happy that my guy will be wearing homemade clothes, since I am not taking his hands or feet off to change his clothes. Putting them on again hurts my fingers!

 

Augh, isn't that the worst? You have my sympathy! I hope he pops out again quickly for you, but man, there's just no way to tell.

 

Yay! Looking forward to seeing him!

 

Hooray! Congrats on having both your boys.

 

I love the matching shirts!

 

Congratulations! Sometimes it's a real struggle to find just the right name. They're looking good!
