Mayakdolls Discussion

Mar 25, 2021

    1. Discussion thread for Mayakdolls heads by Greenwolfy / blisslacosta


      • Heads are sold on a pre-order basis through the official Mayakdolls instagram account (though there are sometimes in-stock sales.
      • Heads are made to fit Minifee and similar size bodies. Minifee bodies will need to neck connector to be removed to work.
      • Heads are currently sold in "Light" (similar to Fairyland NS but not a perfect match) and "Tan" (similar to Fairyland Tan but not a perfect match)



      I have a June head incoming and I'm super excited so I hoped to discuss with others who have any Mayak Dolls heads!

      The team has not reviewed any of Mayakdolls' works yet. This thread is being locked pending submission and review.

      If anyone would like to post a thread in Ask the Mods to provide us with information, or ask GreenWolfy to do so, we can get started.
       
    3. --Update--

      Mayakdolls June is on topic~ :)
       
    4. I missed June’s preorder, but I just ordered a May the other day. Not sure if she’s going to be on topic or not...

      I also ordered a May OE head and a May sleeping head! Did you go with the faceup option?

    6. @dxgirly the mods let me know that June is definitely on topic now and unlocked the thread. I'm not sure why May wouldn't also be on topic but I'm sure if you were to post in Ask the Mods they would let you know. Congrats on your May order! I was tempted to order a May as well but figured I should wait for my June to arrive before ordering another head haha.

      @EndlessSonrise Congrats on your May heads! I'm really excited to see people's dolls shared once they arrive!


      I got photos of my tan skin June's faceup the other day and I'm incredibly excited for her arrival! Was told she should be shipping in the next few days. I also have an incoming Bimong Narae Fusion body in his "new tan" color that I am really hoping I can use for her. Once they both arrive I'll be sure to let everyone know how it works out.

    7. Thank you! I decided to get my May without a faceup just so I could see what I could do with it myself. The artist’s faceups are absolutely beautiful, though, so I was sorely tempted to get one. :sweat

      I bought a Doll Leaves dream body for her, because the resin match for the NS Minifee body isn’t as close as I’d want to be from what I see in other’s pictures. I did see one on the Doll Leaves that was much closer, so I decided to try that body first (bonus- it’s cheaper, so if it doesn’t work out, I won’t as upset. :lol:)

    8. @malvinas Do let us know how the resin match goes! Can't wait to see pictures of her!

      @dxgirly Oh that's good to know! I was considering other hybrids, but I really need to go search for good resin matches/fits the neck.

    9. Well my June finally made it! She was in transit from Russia to the US for around 3 months.

      She's beautiful! But even though I knew she had a small head it is MUCH smaller than I anticipated! The bimong body I had bought for her seems too big in my opinion so now I need to figure out a different body to stick her on.
       
      • x 1
    10. @malvinas congrats on finally receiving her! I’d love to see her once you’ve got a body figured out.
       
    11. @malvinas I would appreciate any comparison photos if you have for example Narae or Minifee in hand. :) Thanks in advance.
       
    12. @dxgirly thank you! Yes once I have a body figured out for her I'll definitely share her a ton! Worst case scenario I get her a minifee body which is fine. I just was hoping for a bit more poseability.

      @xaya of course! I took a couple pictures quickly after work with my phone to show her head vs some other msd size heads I have. I chose a Minifee Chloe and a Bimong Narae n402.

      For reference since wig size helps me visualize how big a head is she fits 5-6 wigs best from what I have found. I don't have any truly "realistic" style dolls so I can't say for certain but I imagine her head is more comparable in size to FID from Iplehouse.

    13. Oh her head size reminds me of my Black Cherry girl and another OT BJD I have. I don’t think it’s too stark of a contrast, especially if they’re wearing angora wigs or something else with volume.
      Now I’m even more excited to receive my May head. I wonder when she’ll ship? Hopefully soon.
       
    14. @dxgirly I hope your May ships soon! My June was an in-stock purchase so I'm not sure what the turn around would normally be. It took about 3 days from purchase for her faceup to be done and she was shipped pretty quickly after that. The wait was just with the shipping from Russia to the US. It spent around 3 months in transit. I have a wig I had commissioned from a Russian artist that shipped around the same time that still hasn't made it to me so unfortunately I think shipping from Russia to the US right now is just incredibly slow.

      As far as her head size, it isn't too bad for sure it just startled me because I don't have any heads that small currently in the MSD size range. My MSD collection consists of 2 luts kid delfs, 3 Bimong Naraes, a Minisup, and lots of minifee. Nothing of what I had prepared me for her head size lol. She currently is sharing wigs with my Lati Yellow because that is the only doll in my collection with a similarly sized head haha.

    15. @malvinas Thank you so much for the comparison, she would fit with FID's better I see. She is really pretty but I think I need think a bit more and maybe these aren't for me.. yet anyway. :) I'm glad I can always admire other peoples dolls here.
       
    16. MayakDolls new Ichi and April sculpts are so lovely. I think I may try to buy an Ichi in tan…

      I just spoke with the artist in a dm and she said she expects to ship out my May head this week! Yay! So exciting! <3
       
    17. @dxgirly I love the new sculpts! I am considering an April for myself.

      Congrats on your May shipping soon! Please post her once you get her!

    18. I am also planning on getting an Ichi head! Need to grab some more 10/4mm eyes for her, but so exciting! I love every single one of her skulpts (that and I will need bodies for two heads... oop)
       
    19. These heads are really beautiful! Does anyone know their measurements in cm? May is my favorite
       
    20. @aliquotiens I only have June but her head is just under 14cm around. She can share wigs with my Lati Yellow if that helps at all.

    21. I have May 's head . How many cm can I measure, but Monique's wig 5-6 on a silicone cap fit her well

      This is my favorite May. It's on the Dollzone body B45-017. A very successful hybrid. There is still a Nitori, but I will show it later.

    23. Here is a photo of Mai and Nitori in monique wigs size 5-6 . Need a silicone cap.

      Nitori on the body of dolzone B45-012. I don't like the minifi body because of the hinge at the bottom of the body. I really like beautiful female tummies.

    24. Thank you all so much, your dolls are beautiful!
       
    25. Thanks. Soon I hope I'll sew them new clothes and we'll show up again.
       
    26. @vinlera2009 thank you for sharing your girls! The dollzone body works so well! I didn't even think of that as an option! I have a black cherry body incoming for my June but if I didn't already I'd definitely be considering the dollzone body as an option.
       
    27. I am glad that you liked my girls and the information was useful
       
    28. Well it took me a long time, about a year of me trying bodies and figuring out what worked for her, but my June finally is complete and ready to be shared!

      This is Foster!

    29. Hi, can I ask, please, is this the peach Dollzone resin? I am purchasing an Ichi head, but I need to source a body for her. Thank you.

    30. I'm so glad there's a thread for these beauties! I was craving a realistic sculpt when I found Emrys, my June, and she is exactly what I needed.

    31. @pinkandyellow Emrys is beautiful! Congratulations on getting her!
       
    32. i love her so much! im hoping to grab one of these girls soon!
       
    33. [​IMG] My Ichi girl, Aefre. Her body is on its way from Alice’s Collections. I have chosen a slim Myou body for her. In this photo she’s borrowing my Charm Doll girl’s body, but although it’s a good fit aesthetically, it’s yellow resin.

    34. [​IMG] The three part torso, ver3. Myou body in normal resin that I ordered for my Ichi head arrived, it’s a good match.

    35. I purchased the Mayakdolls Nima head, she is yo-sd size and in the tan color. Does anyone know what matches the tan so I can get a body for her? I bought a DF-A body in tan but when I got it, it’s way too light, doesn’t look tan.
       
    36. Gorgeous dolls <3 I didn't know much about this company but they're all lovely and April has really caught my eye but I'm struggling finding measurements of that head. I'd want her to be best friends with my Bimong Narae and I'm worried she'll look too tiny next to her based on the pictures on this thread. Any insights would be very appreciated ^w^
       
    37. hi everyone, I wanted to share my May on DZ body. I've had her about 2yrs?
      Although she is up for sale, I was considering modding her eyes open but I don't want to ruin the beautiful faceup. I love her but have no where safe to display and thought maybe if she had open eyes I would. Has anyone done anything like this before and did it help the decision of keeping her?
      [​IMG]
       
    38. I am also a fan of Mayak Dolls moulds. When I’ve seen May for the first time I’ve immediately decided that I would get her. And here she is. For now I have no tan body for her (I’ll think about it later), so she’s temporarily sharing a body with my Doll Chateau. It doesn’t match at all but I see her slender, thin and high, so the body of a Minifee was not approved for this reason. She is a rebel teenage girl, thoughtful and wary, I hope she’ll open with me soon.

    39. So I got my hands on a Mayak Doll's Ichi and I love her little face. She needs a new faceup so she's going to get added to the three others that need a faceup and get done when the weather improves.

      @nyxx2 - Which DZ body did you have her on. I'm looking at the bodies people have said they put theirs on for shoulder width and I'd be really interested to see if you have her on the more adult 1/4 bodies (the 43 and 47cm ones) or the 44cm one that's a bit more childlike.

      My plan is to put her on Black Ships new oil painting body, but I am a little concerned she'll look a bit pinheaded.

    40. Hi, I have mine on the DZ B45-012 body.
      I love the proportions for her but I'd love to see her with larger breasts for corsets and things. Hopefully these links work.

    41. That would be my dream hybrid, if it works out. :love Keep us posted!!
       
    42. The neck will fit fine, fortunately, but my biggest concern is the shoulders which are nearly 11cm. Most of the bodies I've seen in this thread and elsewhere top out at like 8cm shoulders. I am hoping that the extra joint in them will let them look smaller so it won't be too bad.

      I'm also hoping that I got the right colour, or at least one that looks close enough. I ended up going with Mia Pink because the oil-painting near Volks Normal looked very yellow.
