Iplehouse New YID (nYID) Discussion - V

Noted. Thanks.

 

I'm in doubt about which size bust choose. Does anyone have photos of a nYID with small bust and medium bust? I need the picture full length to compare.


Ps. The dolls do not need to be together, can be separate photos

 

Here's my medium bust nYID next to a large bust SID - linked due to NSFW

I like the medium bust very much, it looks nicely balanced with the curvy shape of the nYID body without being too top-heavy.

 

Thanks @Jany!!!

 

Sadly, I don't have a small-bust nYID on hand (I have a small-bust SID, if that's at all helpful), but I do have a medium-bust nYID -- she's a hybrid (La Legende de Temps head, nYID body), and I posted a bunch of lingerie photos of her in her set on Flickr.

Thanks @Ashbet, this help so much

 

My gupsy named Yasmia. She had a large bust size - looks like very nice. ^_^
As for me - I'd like to sew clother on doll with magnificent forms.

 

Love her look

 

Hey guys, question for those of you having an Oscar around ;-) What size of Iple wig would you recommend? Thanks so much in advance!

 

My Oscar wears Iple's 8/9. Depending on the wig, the fit can be nice and snug, like the new short wigs. Some of the older wigs are a tad too big--or maybe they just have too much hair. I use a wig cap underneath those.

 

Andy isn't an Oscar but he wears a 8/9 Iple wig, one of the new short ones. It was super tight in the begining but has streched out over time so he wears a 7/8 silicone
cap underneath it.

 

Thank you, vermont chick and artisticadelle! :-) Well, I think I'll go with 8/9 then... I want one of the new wigs and one of the old, I don't mind if it's a bit bigger, better then if it was too small ;-)

 

Oho! Do I smell incoming resin, Airike? I'd be so happy for you if you could get Rune home soon!

Я люблю iplehouse! Они живы!

 

Well, I would love to say a definite "yes", because the temptation is at its highest point, but I am still in doubts... Or, more precisely, I am still fearful of my family's reaction. He would be so far my most expensive doll, because I need a custom face-up for him and I want him in RS, so I expect a lot of "you money waster" looks ;-) And I am still a bit sad about quite a cold welcome for my little ones. So I am in a self-conflict right now - my heart yells "Get him at last! You know how much you want him!" and my head whispers wisely: "Why not to wait a year so there will be no you-want-another doll?-you-just-bought-the-littles! discussion" :-(

Sorry for the rant, dear. I am in a bit gloomy mood lately. I am feeling guilty for neglecting my current resin gang (school and work exhaustion) and I am in serious sunshine lack, so maybe my thoughts are just affected by this. My parents (dad, especially) might after all love a first real boy doll (not counting Ricky, they even did not realized he was a boy... sorry, Rick)


Anteja, Christian is looking drop-dead gorgeous as always

 

New dolls always cheer me up And at first you get the gawks and money-waster looks.... But soon enough they'll be asking you "when are you getting a new doll?" "I like this one!" "That one looks like a girl." "Look at those shoes!"

And you'll be thinking, I'm sorry... But who's the doll collector here?
(Is this relatable to anyone else?)

 

Sort of At first my parents were all about the "money waster" ... then came an intermezzo of semi-interest (mostly in the crafts aspect), as in "oh, I don't think I've seen that one", and then right back to "what do you need another one for? Don't you have enough of them already?"

Airike, I feel your pain. That really stinks ... I still hope you can get him soon! If the joy of having him home outweighs the initial parental nagging, I think it's worth it. He can always be your xmas / b-day present to yourself, right? (wheeee, enabling mode!)
I wish everyone('s parents / significant others / friends / other important folks) would stop it with the wise-arseing already and let their children / significant others / friends / whatever do whatever they want with their own money and enjoy their hobbies.


Not sure if this is allowed here, I just thought this made a nice meme (9gag has ruined me) ... if it's out of order, please delete.

 

Hahahaha I love it!!! Must share!

 

Feel free I made it available for download on my dA.

 

I've had to have actual sit-down conversations with a couple of people, saying "Why do you feel the need to crap on something that brings me joy? It doesn't harm you -- but your snide remarks and teasing lower my mood and make me less likely to want to share things I'm excited about with you. So, could you please cut it the f*** out with the "creepy dolls"/"money wasting" comments?"

(The endurance of the relationship/friendship has sometimes been predicated on the response I get to that -- if someone can't be respectful about my passions, or more importantly, be respectful to *me*, I don't want to spend very much time or emotional energy on them.)

They don't have to be into it, they don't have to like it, but it is RUDE AS HELL to mock someone else's interests and disrespect their hobbies/fandoms/subcultures/etc. on a consistent basis.

It's one thing to make the occasional smart remark -- and it's not like I don't joke about it, too! -- but it's actually really hurtful if someone you're very close to can't let go of their need to tease and make fun of something you actually care about. I do draw a big difference between someone making a comment once, and someone who just won't drop it.

(Also, to people who want to make remarks about money, I tend to ask how much they spend on their car payment, Starbucks lattes, THEIR hobbies, fancy clothes, etc. And then I point out that I save up for my dolls and don't buy them on credit -- and the way I save that money is by scrimping on some other expenses that people take for granted. I drove the same car for 11 years, and I've been driving my current one for 7.

I have health issues that have caused me to cut down on clothing spending because my focus is more on comfort than glamour/professionalism -- not that I don't like to look good, but I don't need 20 pairs of shoes or a law-firm wardrobe.)

My priorities are my family and friends, my cats, getting a chance to travel when I'm well enough to do so, and my dolls. And I'd much rather spend money on them, and make myself happy in the process, than drive a super-fancy car or upgrade my phone every couple of years.

-- A :P

 

I lost a lot of friends when I got into this hobby, and it made me quite sad because I thought they were my good friends. They told me it's weird, that my dolls are creepy, and I'm irresponsible for wasting money on dolls. It hurt, but at the end of the day having my dolls was worth it, and my real friends either have dolls themselves, or are really cool about it.
If it makes you happy, then go for it. You worked hard for your money and you deserve to spend it on whatever you want.

 

[MENTION=2315]Ashbet[/MENTION] - Been there and done that as you've articulated in each paragraph although I was not nearly so polite.

 

O no another phone challenged person.... well maybe. My family insists that I have a smartphone; I much prefer the old land-line. You can ignore it.

Don't let what people say, influence what you like or what you do. I honestly think that it's "Happy People" that accept you and your hobbies for what they are. Most people that come to my home and see my dolls are quite taken by them. The ones that make snide comments; I just point out that maybe they should worry more about the state of our country, not my dolls. That usually ends the topic of deriding my dolls.

I love to see creativity in any form. These dolls are a wonderful source of that!

 

Thank you, dear, for a bit of enabling
And everyone else, thanks for your input.
Well, the thing is, my family has been quite great with my dolls so far. My parents were genuinely (or at least I think it was genuine) taken by my Eva and Mari when they arrived, my dad almost immediately googled "iplehouse" and started reviewing the dolls, my mum knitted them sweaters the very evening and so on. When I sew/make something for my dolls, I generally go and show them, so they know it's a worthwhile creative hobby, and they always show interest in the things I make. My mum sometimes still comes over and asks if I want her to knit or crochet for the girls (so I plan to let her make something for the little ones, maybe she will bond with them when I let her have them for a while ). So I can't complain that they are unsupportive. I just have a dark feeling that they are OK with what I have so far, but that they might not be that welcoming for another.
But as I said, I have been in a gloomy mood lately. I am quite better now and I am just going to sew for the gang, yay, so I bet I will feel more positive soon :-)

 

That's good to hear -- some people, myself included, have had really unsupportive family/friends/partners (heh -- that last is my *ex*, and while his feelings about my dolls were quite low on the list of issues we had, I very much appreciate that my loved ones of the present day are all at least supportive of the fact that my dolls bring me joy, and some people closest to me are very into them. I'm quite happy to be away from that source of negativity!)

It sounds like you might be projecting a little -- worrying about their reaction, rather than letting things come as they may. I hope that whatever decision you make is one that you're at peace with, and that your family continues to be interested and supportive!

Best wishes,

-- A

 

It actually helps if they actively take part in your dolly hobby. I don't mean sit down with you and start playing with them. But making stuff for them is a good way. Or have look out for small things. Whenever they ask me, "We're going traveling. Do you need anything?" I never say I want a Hermes bag, I always tell them..."if you see miniature anything, that would be good."
Miniatures are cheap and they can always ignore my request. But most of the time, they actually become more aware.

Also...yeah...I've heard that "You're wasting money" comment over and over again. Half of the time, I'm tempted to throw snide remarks like, "Where's all that money you wasted on the stock market? I could have bought the whole Iplehouse company with that money." or "You travelled ten times last year! That could have been ten dolls. I only bought 5." But I stop myself from saying that because that isn't going to help with anything and they get angry. Most of the time I just tell them, "It makes me happy." And "I don't think I'm going to live long enough to enjoy my retirement, so why save that much?" and "I'm young. I can still earn money."

 

I'm not sure whether to be asking this in the New or Old YID thread but ... does anyone with a new (girl) YID know if the hands can fit on an old (girl) YID body? (Info about SID girl hands would be appreciated too ..)

 

Persiana set for my Olivia just arrived yesterday! It's so gorgeous!

I wonder if we have more Chris's here?
Ashbet, where is yours???

Iplehouse nYID Chris by Anteja1984, on Flickr

 

My Chris arrived on Saturday, but his wig did not fit. I found him another wig in my stash, but now I'm waiting for a break in the clouds so I have enough light to take photos. Sometime this week for sure!

 

Vermont chick, i will be waiting!

 

Yum! Yours is so handsome ^__^

Mine is sitting on the floor of my boyfriend's room right now, looking a bit forlorn -- I called him a "dolly hobo" last night! We've been doing some major house reorganization, so the dolls needed to be safely out of the way. I moved everyone else out of his room and back where they belong, but I hadn't had a free hand to carry Gremory downstairs yet, LOL!!

I am *dying* to do a photoshoot with his glorious WINGS, I just need to figure out a way to make a wide enough backdrop and get the whole wingspan in the frame!

In the meanwhile, here's a sultry pic:


Gremory by Ashbet, on Flickr

Oh, dear, i'm looking forward to it - your misterious Gremory will be a great king of demons!
But it will be very hard to find such a big background and lots of place...

 

Not a Chris..........as I don't have one of those (yet, LOL!), but please keep sharing more Chris'. He's definitely on my wishlist!
I had these 2 standing side by side so thought I'd take a picture for educational purposes to show one of the nYID girls next to a Dollshe 28. I love the height difference between them. His head is so small, it's been hard to find a girl whose head size works. Brooke is quick to point out they are "just friends", but I do think the Bianca sculpt could work well with him.
Just Friends by wizgerg3, on Flickr

 

Thanks so much, guys!!

My boyfriend has a background stand (he does portrait photography), so I tend to prevail on him to let me borrow it. One of these days, I'm going to get a cheap one for myself . . . although I have a cool idea that MIGHT work.

I've seen these things in kitchens, and at Container Store/Ikea-type places -- a magnetic strip that holds knives or kitchen equipment. I could set up something similar with clips, or just get some big magnets to attach the background. It would mean mounting a permanent strip on the wall in my living room, but since I could take the backgrounds down and just have a "strip" on the wall, I think it would look fine.

(That way, I could lean dolls against the wall if they were being tippy and I didn't want to use stands -- with a backdrop stand, you're always going to be a few inches away from the wall, because the stand needs a wide base to hold things up in a stable way.)

I have to figure out a bit of furniture rearrangement, but I think it could work!

Gremory is no longer a doll-hobo -- he's currently in my studio, awaiting a bit of blushing before he gets his wings. Can't wait!

-- A

P.S.JinCincy, they look great together -- I agree, the small heads make them problematic to pair off, but the two of them make a good couple . . . of just-friends

 

I bought 1 inch wide self adhesive magnetic strip from ebay stuck it to a thin wooden batten and glued the top of the backdrop to the batten so it hung over the front, I have an IKEA metal noticeboard on the wall and it attaches flat against that when in use.

 

I finally took photos of Chris today, despite a complete lack of sun. Even though he was standing in front of a window the flash still went off. It's so hard to take photos this time of year! Anyway, I tried several wigs on him and decided to let him keep this one for a while. The wig I bought him that didn't fit is the same style in black. I'd love to order another black one, except I'm afraid Iplehouse may have a mislabeled batch.

 

vermont chick, he's awesome!
Is he at normal skin?

 

I wanted to share this: I was working on my Harace's faceup and switched bodies with Jude's (nYID Juan) so he got stuck on the SIDW body. I have to say.... the Juan sculpt makes for a pretty decent girl if anyone is interested. Although Jude does not agree on this issue....

Jude makes a pretty decent girl by animerockstar, on Flickr

It's strange because on the nYID boy body... he looks rather masculine... I didn't realize that he could be so androgynous

 

The Eddie sculpt is the same way!

 

Ashbet, sorry for the late reply! Thank you very much for your verbal pat Yeah, I definitely agree that I was very much projecting, as I said, the gloomy mood may have caused it all. I had few more-or-less "hinting" discussions with my parents these past days and although they are still advising me to be careful with my money ("You worked hard for it, so consider it wisely what to do with it"), there were no negative comments when I admitted that I have been eyeing another doll. I put it up when they asked me if there is anything I wish for Christmas, because they do not have much ideas what to give me. Mum even expressed some curiosity on that matter by asking me if it will be the "big one" (refering to my SID girls), the "middle one" (refering to my KID) or the "little one" (my BID) :-) So I guess it is now up to me, whether to take the plunge or not. The odds are more towards the "take it" option, so quite likely I will be back to the waiting room right after Iple opens the DC


Oh, and animerockstar and artisticadelle, you sure watch your backs now. Your boys really don't look amused (but shhh, they both make pretty girls)

 

artisticadelle - Eddie makes such a cute girl! But he's such a cute boy anyway.

Airike - Haha right?! I've got to get another nYID boy body and quick before Jude comes after me >~< (esp before he realizes he's on his sisters body!) Oh the complexes of being a BJD!

 

Thank you, Anteja1984. Yes, he is normal skin. And Faceup B. (I think.) It's funny, I thought the eyes I gave him were gray, but the photo makes them look blue gray.

Jude/Juan makes a beautiful girl, animerockstar, very soulful looking. If he doesn't toe the line, you can always threaten to make the change permanent.

Eddie also makes a lovely girl, artisticadelle. It's amazing how many Iple sculpts can go either way, like Rebecca and Asa passing as boys.

 

Loving all the body switcheroo! (You might want to post some of those pics here so they don't get lost - there's always someone looking for a reference pic.)

Airike, that sounds great! I'll join you there soon - after comparing events and release dates I'm fairly sure about who's going to come home next. The Ipleverse doesn't want me to buy guys, it seems ...

 

I am trying to oder a custom Chris nd cannot find him on the IH site to check faceups. Can someone guide me? Thanks.

 

He's under The Addiction series. Also in the search bar you can type 'chris' but you have to click search. Hitting the enter key doesn't work :-/

 

Ha, so new Yur is it? ;-) Don't worry, dear, I am sure the time will come when you can get Edan :-)
About me, hmm, just realised there is not enough money on my bank account and it is a pain in the neck to go and put some cash in there, so I will have to wait for the next paycheck around 15th... But hey, that will be in no time

 

Yep Trouble is that it's really starting to bother me that Katie doesn't have her own body ... so I'm trying to figure out whether I can get both new Yur and a Granado Nuevo body for Katie, probably including at least one layaway ... luckily the event won't be over until the end of the month, so you can wait for your paycheck and I have some time to make up my mind.

Wow! Amazing photos, SaikoXIX. How did you do the second one? It looks like Chris is surrounded by shards of breaking glass. Did you merge two images?

 

Thx you! There are many pics in this image =)
