Granado's Vindolls (Vinyl) - Thread 2

yay! Congrats you are going to love Gabriel. He is so beautiful in person the pictures don't even make him justice

Nope. My previous Vindolls took about 3 weeks to be shipped and they were blank. But recently when I order my Gabriel with face up it took more that 50 business days for him to be shipped. So, I think it takes a while now.

 

well... so much for my christmas present, then. On Granado's site they say shipping will be between ten and thirty business days. I can only hope to be lucky and it is closer to ten days or at least not longer than thirty days. I still have a chance to get him this year, right?
Ah, waiting is going to kill me one day in this hobby. I regularly forget about my dollshe order which will probably take another year or something xD

 

Panchito decided to grew his hair because he hated the hair cut I gave him lol :p

 

Ooo...a 20% off sale...I may need another one of these boys....

 

what was the original price of the Vindoll I see $349 now has it been discounted yet? TIA

 

The original price was $370

If you order the body you can also choose a blank head for &299 the original price was $320

 

@chinadoll The discount will be given after purchase and you notify Granado's email. It is on the event page, so you have to read the details. Less work for the webpage master, I guess.

 

I think that the 20% would be off of $349, which would make the total cost of a Vindoll about $280...a very tempting price!

 

oh no wonder when I try to buy not sure how to take the 20% discount TY

 

I have been eyeing them for a long time and finally found 1 sculpt that I like and with discount I want to buy.

 

Ok finally paid for my first vindoll. I haven’t bought any bjd for a very long time now bec I have a bunch of resin at home and have to really watch how much I spend on my hobby so cut back a lot . really looking forward to getting a large size male vinyl bjd

I also like the $$ of vinyl I can buy 2 of these and will be equal to 1 large male resin


There is other sculpt that I really like on the resin side and hope in future they will be made in vinyl also so I can at least have two to three vindoll

 

Congrats on your first vindoll. I hope you get him soon. I know what you mean thanks to Granado Vindolls I was able to get myself my first SD size doll. Now I have five of them and two vindoll floating heads. I love them to pieces. The only one I hope they release some day in vindoll is Raguel. He is my 2nd Granado favorite sculpt but his resin form I still way out of my budget

Here is my Javi (Enoch) looking hot in pink

 

I just notice they finally fix the prices for the Vindolls.

The basic with face up is $370 again and the body or body with a blank head $320 again. Maybe they were having issues with the discount price because it was already included and people were getting confuse

 

Even at $370, the price with discount will be only $296 - still a really great deal for under $300.

Congrats @chinadoll on getting your first Vindoll! Which one did you order? I'm currently torn between Michael and Gabriel, and trying desperately to convince myself that with the holidays and gift-giving coming up, I don't need either one. I'll probably fail, though. I'm so weak.

 

Thank you your man is beautiful, I’m so excited to getting a large bjd , I ordered bronze skin with B face up, without the moustache.

 

Thank you, I end up with Gabriel bec I like his sculpt more than the others and there is another resin boy I like and hope in future it will be made to vinyl . I also thought of getting another boy but put on hold for now I want to wait till Gabriel is here b4 I decide

 

My order still says preparing and I check every day. I want my Enoch home so badly. I still tell myself he could make it until Christmas xD

 

Got shipping notice from Granado! Order was made on 09.11, shipped today, 16.12. So it took them about month to prepare it

 

I also got a shipping notice!
Ordered back on 07.11 and also got notice on 16.12.
I doubt he will make it until christmas. His clothes and wig already arrived and are waiting for him. Can't wait for him to arrive!

 

Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas)

 

Dorian is so ready for the new year

 

what a sexy and handsome man! I am still waiting for my Enoch. Got the tracking code on the 16th of December, but it still doesn't work... I hope he is not lost... I have never had any issues with EMS so far, but this time I am starting to get worried. Maybe I should contact Granado about the tracking code... maybe they got it wrong?

 

I need to buy wig for my boy so just wondering where is everyone buying their wigs? TIA

 

Hallo, I have Udell and custom made wig from Doll fashion for doll bjd Iplehouse, model Lamka Yai (in Large wig), custom colors (there is color palette somwhere at their site). Contact with email.
no photo because I am on holiday. Hard cap but great fit and quality, waiting time was around 1 month, shipping was fast (I am Europe, ordered in April 2019). They sent you picture of product before shipping.

 

WOW, you have Udell too, great outfit, especially harness. Very nice. Yes Udell face is sculpted perfectly, I redone face-up of my Udell (hmm, let me think almost 5 times), I hope today it would be presentable. He was my first (BJD) doll ever I ordered without faceup in 2018 and still fighting with him. My dream was fresh facial hair on his cheekbones. I have lot to learn must say. So he is sitting on my desk half naked awaiting results.
So more photo PLS

 

I can share my Udell, Tracer Jones, he has a bit of 5 o'clock shadow.

SteamWitch great. This scar on nose is hardcore. WOW.

 

Thanks, he is a bounty hunter so accidents(?) happen. He actually has a couple more scars to show off.

SteamWitch perfect detailed, just admiring mastery of yours face-up. He really looks like bountyhunter. It is company fur wig?

 

I'm not sure where I got the wig but it didn't come with Udell. It fit his character though.

 

Yes, very unique color but natural looking.

 

My Gabriel arrived few days before New Year, so I got wonderful present

Love his face, he's so beautiful! Even with dull default eyes and default "dead animal" wig )
Though body needs some adjustments - knee joints looks a bit different and head sits a bit strange on the neck. But anyway I love him



In case if anyone is interested how hands part B looks from different angle, I added technical photo under spoiler

I am still waiting for my Enoch... he has been shipped almost a month ago and I am still waiting for customs to coontact me... I am really scared something went wrong and he will be returned to Granado... my patience is so used up... I just want to finally have him here...

 

Oh no, that's really upsetting! Is there any way to contact your customs office to inquire about the status of a package? Ours has a phone number, but I know that the protocol can be different depending on the country.

 

unfortunately not, you have to wait to get a letter with a customs number... no letter, no number, no way anyone is ever gonna find the parcel without a number... I could cry

 

So, if they lose a package, it's just gone?? That's awful, I am SO sorry. I've had a pair of dolls go missing, and I know how terrible it is. I hope they're just being slow, and you hear something soon.

 

Dead animal wig LOL I love mohair wigs.


Congratulations I saw him on Instagram and he is gorgeous. Gabriel is my favorite sculpt from Granado. Did you kept the original name or gave him another?


Here is a picture of my Dorian (Gabriel)

 

Thanks! Your Dorian was one of the reason I decided that I need Gabriel too ^_^ He would definitely have his own name, but I can't decide the right one for him yet

 

You all are making me wish I had a Gabriel!!!

 

I got my Sekka (Uriel) and Shun (Remiel) heads from the face up artist today. I think they look awesome. They are currently borrowing bodies from their brothers, but some day they will get their own. The eyes are a little bit crooked but I had a hard time putting the headcap and the head on the bodies LOL so they will stay like that for a while. I got the heads on a trade. I bought the Granado anniversary bag and I got two resin heads. Somebody got two vindoll heads on her anniversary bag. So I traded one resin head for this two unreleased vindoll heads

This is Sekka (vindoll Uriel)


This is Shun (vindoll Remiel)

 

So after over one month of waiting for my customs to contact me tracking was updated to "return to sender" today...
I never got a notice nor a chance to pick up my parcel anywhere... so Enoch is on his way back to Granado...
I am so frustrated right now... I would like to cry...
Lately, EMS is a nightmare for me.
I don't know what to do. I already contacted Granado but I didn't get an answer yet...
I fear I will have to pay for shipping again...
ugh... I am so sick of waiting and so close to leave the hobby for a while... too many problems with shipping lately

 

So sorry to hear that. That totally su**s. I hope you are able to solve the problem. I have a package with a head that has been stuck in a New York USPS facility for 12 days and it hasn't move. I'm afraid the Sam will thing will happend to me.

 

That's so sad and unfair, I'm very sorry for you too I hate it when EMS is the only choice too. But please do not despair, they are not worth it!
I hope Granado will be on your side in this situation. And when I wrote them email with some question before order, they answered fast, next day or even the same day, so I hope you'll get answer soon.

 

so, heard back fron Granado. they will talk to their shipping service and eventually it is possible to send Enoch with DHL.

Meanwhile I have started my hunt for a Vindoll buddy for Enoch. I just need to get my hands on a vindoll Michael! preferably in tan skin! I have already reached out for it on facebook and instsgram, but so far I had no luck. If anybody knows of someone selling one, pls feel free to contact me!

 

I'm happy Granado was able and willing to help you. YAY!

Michael is a great choice. He is so gorgeous even without a face up. I hope you are able to find one. He was my second vindoll. As soon as I saw him I felt in love with the sculpt.

Here is my Tlaloc aka Michael to motivate you on your search

 

Having made no attempt to contact you before returning the doll, EMS should refund the shipping. I know they can do pretty much anything they want and you are at their mercy - but it would be tough for them to argue their way out of this one.

 

Sexy Bros.....literally

Shun and Sekka

 

Tracer at the Pub

 

uh! I can never get enough pictures of your boys in the pub! (I might consider myself a fangirl!) One of the greatest BJD locations ever! They look amazing and so natural in their environment

 

@Lornica Thank you so much! I'm constantly working on it for my sanity sake. I get to be in a Pub most of the day and remain sober, lol, and all the guys are soooo handsome.
I'm glad you like it too.

 

So. . . for some reason I totally didn't know these dolls were a thing till just recently (probably cause they're off topic, but w/ev). . . does anyone who has one happen to have a Dollshe Diana they could compare heads with? I know that's a bit of a long shot. .. but I figured I'd ask.

 

Before sewing or buying clothes for my Vindoll Gabriel (btw he has his own name now! Meet Roderic, or Roi for short) I decided to make thin anti-stain protection underwear. Well, as underwear it should be tight. And now I'm not sure that this gorgeous body needs any more clothes



More photos of Roi in underwear are a bit nsfw so I'll leave just links here and here. Enjoy!

 

I think there needs to be more spam of the absolute gorgeousness of these dolls here. After reading through this whole thread (I'm sick today so no work T__T) I think I'll be needing an Andrew for my big crew I'm starting up this year. I just can't decide if he needs to be NS or tan. . . Also, weird question, but how squishy is his er. . package? Like would something nice and snug under the clothes make it less prominent or is it just kinda THERE?

 

I'll park this here and go find Waya and take some photos of him.

Not squishy, quite firm. You can move it a bit with hand, but it will not loose form. I guess the only way to make it less remarkable under clothes is a bit baggy style (

 

Well hello all! So I uh... did a thing... What's that you say? TWO Enoch?'s Um whoops yes!

Also yeah as said above it's not all that squishy. Not too tight clothing is the only real way to disguise it. Those boys are pretty well endowed and it's not easy to hide or move. lol

 

Thank you both! (and congratulations on your plural Enochs!)
I think that should be okay since I've decided he'll be a sculptor and not a dancer, Uuugh now I just have to finish paying off all my other dolls so I can order hiiim.
Too bad V-07 isn't probably gonna be a basic thing ever. I would LOVE to get my hands on one of him someday. Andrew at least has some Mads-ish qualities about him. . kinda if Bowie and Mads had a child lol.

 

I'm an Enoch woman what can I say. lol I love him too much I needed a body for my V-07 head so it seemed a good idea to get a second Enoch while I was already ordering. Gonna take a while but I'd much rather everyone at Granado remain safe and well than worry about a doll being sent out.

I'm still eagerly hoping they bring Raguel out as well, but I'll have to wait for him. lol Maybe one day. and I'm sorry about V-07 the more I look at my boy the more I love him, can't wait to get him a body so I can take pics of him properly finally. He's a really gorgeous sculpt.

 

Oh! I want a Bronze Raguel too - so much !!!

 

I need mine in tan cause hello Takashi Shirogane! But yes just please Granado not yet cause I just bought a second Enoch, but I need a Raguel pls!
