I didn't see a discussion thread for IZE STAGE so thought I would make one! I found them via IG (@ize_stage). They are Korea based but I believe they do international sales through their blog/email and through agents (SubRosa Doll) on TaoBao. They posted their schedule for the year. It doesn't lists months but they have gone in order so far. Next up is Taeyeong + Eros. According to their TaoBao agent they should be avail for preorder in May but this has not been confirmed by IZE STAGE yet however it would make sense following the calendar. Personally, Eros is super tempting but I really want Taein (in both tan and normal skin), if they keep releasing every other month Taein should be avail for preorder in July. ETA — correct location based
I have a taein in tan skin and the resin quality is so nice! I was a little nervous since I had never ordered a doll via email from a small artist before but they were wonderful to work with too. I’m just stuck right now because I want him to be a tall character and I can’t make up what body I for him
Thats great to hear everything went well through email! (I wont have to deal with a shopping service then haha) What bodies are you considering? I think heard Soom is a match but I'm not sure what other tan skin bodies would work.
I’m thinking granado, my head was from a batch that was slighter darker than normal but it seems like it’s still a pretty good match for iplehouse rs. Granted I’m also looking at vings and ios dolls 80 cm body too. I just can’t make up my mind
Oooh I love Granado bodies! They have a lot of different tans too so would probably match one of them. I will keep them in mind. Thank you!
Granado also does custom matches I think! So you might be able to get a custom match. I’m just too nervous to send the doll head off for that
Thank you for starting this thread! Couldn't find one previously when I wanted to ask about suitable bodies for my Dante and Eros heads. Also, I think Izestage is a Korea sculptor, not China based. ^^
oh thanks for letting me know I updated the post so no one gets confused. but no problem! I definitely want to find some good bodies for them too
Hello~ I just found Ize recently and got interested with Taein~~ anyone knows what skin color would match with Soom or Luts? I have a Soom tawny and Luts GSDF NS body~ curious to see if there's any photo to compare Ize's resin color
Im not sure about LUTS but one of my fav faceup artists misheng825 has her Tan Taein on a Soom Idelian body. She also just posted him on a tan HID body today. Login • Instagram
Hey! Just found her alternative Twitter account @IZE_BACKSTAGE (shows behind the scenes)! New her head is really handsome! Really excited to see him more. Also, if I remember correctly the next heads (Eros and Taeyoung) will be postponed to July/ August.
I posted some hybrid photos of Izestage Dante and Eros on various 75cm bodies (Iplehouse HID, Soom ID75, The Voice), and also Iplehouse EID model which is 70cm) over in another doa thread. Sharing it here for reference for anyone who's also looking for bodies for their Izestage heads: click here to go to the comparison photos! Resin colour wise, Izestage NS matches pretty well with Iplehouse NS or The Voice NS. Iple is a tad pinker and paler than Ize, while The Voice is a tad darker and yellower. But the difference is not obvious (only obvious when putting Iple next to The Voice).
Hey! I messaged izestage about their opinion about maybe sculpting a body. And izestage does have plans to release a body in the future! Although this will take a while, I believe the wait will be totally worth it! I (Love izestage’s bust…and waiting for their new head sales to open…)
Wow that’s great and something to look forward to! I’ve been struggling finding a resin match to ize’s tan.
Has anyone else seen the collab IZE has with dollshe? Taein (KING75) - DollShe craft I'm so confused by this. There are re-released heads of Dante too. I always wanted a Taein, but missed the pre-order period. Not sure how I feel about dollshe doing the casting with their track record.
I would have risked it if it were new/exclusive IZE heads but I will just focus on getting their heads through the second-hand market. I also wanted a Taein too, in tan. I ordered Eros last preorder. I still might clown around and order depending on what Mori 9 releases through Dollshe though. I emailed her once and she doesn't do rereleases and her old heads sell for the price of full dolls now and as one of my fav artists its worth the risk to me.
Whoa, that's indeed super risky, I'm afraid >_<; I only recently discovered Ize Stage and have been heavily eyeing their sculpts and Taein too, is on top of my wishlist. But no way I'm trusting to put an order in at Dollshe sadly >.>
I have Dante and he is so handsome . I just draft his face up, haven’t finished it yet but he does looks good!
Do share his look once you’re done! I’m waiting on my own Dante to return home, can attest to that handsomeness!
Gosh that new boy ize is releasing looks amazing. It’s also coming really soon. Link for people who haven’t seen it yet. IZE : 이제 on Instagram: "오 필터 이쁘다... Name : Do Uihyeok (75sd~ ) Pre-order will be this month! (Izestage pre-order)"
IZE just give production authorization of Dante and Taein to DS so DS can produce the two heads with their new 75 body. I think Ize didn’t say anything about make cooperative limited head for DS
I hope no one falls for the dollshe one as dante and taein can be found relatively easily. However idk maybe this is the last optimistic part of me since this is a collab maybe it’ll be different but I kind of doubt it.
IZE have the cooperation with dollshe. and for prince 72 body, dollshe said they will have new doll from IZE. Is that the one ize post on ig recently (Do Uihyeok)?
I really like how ize takes the promo photos and the newest boy do uihyeok I love how she gave him a sporty vibe.
Yes we have a official date and also it’s two different heads IZE : 이제 on Instagram: "75sd 'DoUihyeok & DoUihyeok Awake head' Overseas Pre-order period✨ 2023.01.28 (KST 18:00) ~ 2023.02.02 (KST 23:00) Please check my blog post. Thank you!! https://m.blog.naver.com/shakoran/222993147016"
Are there any good comparison photos for Izestage's tan resin? I'm looking for a body for my Marbas and having a little trouble finding a resin match.
Not sure how helpful, but I have a comparison of Izestage's tan resin to soom bronze here: In person it is a very very close match to me.
Chiming in with a comparison of Izestage with Iplehouse since I often see them on Iplehouse HID bodies. I find Izestage Tan darker than Iplehouse Special Real Skin. But since I still see Tan Ize/Iple hybrids, I wonder if the Ize Tan might be closer to Iple's Light Brown? Also, it's not shown here but Iple NS is a pretty good match for Izestage NS. On a side note, I'm not sure when the dolls were made as I own only the white and NS ones, the rest were heads I painted for commission and have since sent back. What I know is that the tan Izestage is from an Eros made before Jan 2022. Hope this helps!
Thank you! I decided on a DF-H body colormatched to Soom Bronze! Unfortunately, it seems that they don't offer headcap colormatching anymore.
Omg he’s so cute I’ve always been a sucker for dog boy archetypes. IZE : 이제 on Instagram: "Coming soon Finnick #abjd #bjdsculpting #bjddoll"
Hi, y'all, just popping in to ask if anyone knows if Marbas is going to be rereleased? He's the only sculpt not available on Dollection and Bhiner has been buggy for me for weeks now so no listings are working. Was he limited?
Here's my lovely boi Mink (Eros) Does anyone have a coulor match for LUTS? not sure if it would be Bronco/light tan... His on a Brown and the colour doesn't match to well if you stare at it for long xD
Hi, I've just found this thread as doing face up for my first Ize-stage head DoUihyeok. So impressed by Ize-stage's sculpting and quite intrigued to collect other heads as well. The SIO2 bust is only temporary to display.
Sorry to suddenly bump a thread, but would anyone happen to know a close match for Ize's peach white? I have a Finnick head I bought secondhand coming in for a doll I have planned, but as I don't know 75CM bodies too well, I have no clue what might fit!
