Miracledoll Discussion Thread

As of yesterday I am waiting for the new Long head. They say two months waiting time, so he should arrive around the same time as his body, an extensively modded Domuya Flexi. The OC has been a Migidoll Owen since 2009 but I saw Long and it was like, no, it's -you-. o.o

I'm so excited!

 

I hadn't seen Long yet! I had to look him up! He's got a great face, @Safira . I look forward to seeing your hybrid!

 

Apparently Vic and a couple other lovelies are being discontinued in early January.

I'm glad I got mine before then, but if anyone has been scoping any of these sculpts out they'd better act fast! It's really a pity, there should be at least like, 7,000 more Vics.

 

Aw! How sad! I love my Vic.

 

I thought I might bring up this thread by sharing my own (currently) deceptively innocuous-looking Vic, Allie:



He's on a WS AOD body with the neck sawed and sanded down. (I removed a lot of neck since I prefer shorter necks on my dolls) The WS match with AOD is near spot on, MD seems to be a little bit creamier in some lights but that just might be the heavy shading on the default face-up. Also, a note--AOD bodies, for whatever reason, are sold these days with the shoulder measurement listed as 12cm--it isn't. It's still 14cm. I guess they're just measuring the width on the torso, but ?????? (also please ignore the weird jacket I stuck him in for fun orz)

I will be in mourning permanently that these guys aren't being produced anymore for real

 

Aw! Love your Vic, @Kaninchen ! I'm surprised they're discontinuing him. Not only is he a great sculpt but he seems pretty popular? If I didn't already have one, I'd be rushing to buy him!

 

@Kaninchen , your Vic is AMAZING!! I love his faceup and the color match looks pretty great here

 

I'm super excited about the new boy, Jing. He looks so pretty and I just want to turn him into some kind of sparkly cosmic character.

I've already attached a back story for him and everything just by looking at him. I can't believe I'm actually thinking about getting another doll when I have a few that I need to work on already.

 

Tell me about it. I want to turn him into a girl and think with a little work......but yeah, that's a really great head. And I've got so many other things going on that getting a head and trying to figure out the body is....tiring to think about...but....I do want to support imaginative work from doll makers...

 

I am also completely intrigued by Jing and after sleeping on it have come up with an automaton/alchemist character for him. He is so unique and beautiful. I am going to take the leap, but need to decide on what resin color to get. He will be a hybrid since I am hoping to put him on a little smaller body in the 63 cm range- if at all possible.

 

I think you he might be able to pull off that size. And he'd look so cool as an alchemist.

He's so amazing and I woke up this morning knowing that I have to get him. I plan on buying him in white and putting him on a Doll Chateau body and he'd wear a lot of skin tight clothing.

 

What do you think about that tiny neck on the DC bodies? Aren't they like 8cm?

Luckyl - I need to look at your doll list since you think 63cm is "smaller"!

Someone elsewhere said they didn't like the open mouth but suggested opening it up to put an eye in there. I'm considering the idea....

 

Prince Monochrome,I thought about a Doll Chateau Body too, but how big would you have to go to get a 10 cm neck size? I am hoping to get a more versatile sized body that can be shared by a few different heads without going gigantic in height. I really love the way he looks in the WS too, but usually don't buy WS dolls because they seem to be a little harder to sell, if you choose. I would love to see him in the tanned skin and normal skin before I make my final decision...
dollhausen: Ha, Ha! It just seems like it is getting harder and harder to find mature looking bodies that are not 68-70+ cm anymore. I guess that must be a very popular size, but personally I prefer 60 cm or less. I know there is no way for me to find a suitable body that will have broad enough shoulders and a 10 cm neck in less than 62-63 cm so that is why 63 cm seems on the smaller end of the SD boy spectrum for me. The eye in the mouth idea sounds interesting and definitely creepy!

Does anyone know of a photo of a comparison of the miracle doll resin colors ?

 

I think with a little bit of modding, the head would fit. He might look a little bobble headed but that's kind of the look I'm going for.

The eye in the mouth idea sounds really cool but I just love his little fangs. I think this doll has so much potential and there could be so many awesome mods with him.

@Luckyl
I wish I could answer your question but I'm not very sure because I've never owned a DC doll before. I plan on going for a 70cm.
Though I do have another Miracle Doll and right now he's sharing a Ver.I 66cm Akagi Doll body. (The website says it's 66cm with the head). He's not as slender as a DC but his proportions aren't too bad. Though he may still be a bit too big for you.

 

Yes, I have seen many successful hybrids with DC bodies. A big DC body would go really well with the delicate, strange Jing head.
I noticed those little fangs too! He has so many weirdly wonderful details that will inspire lots of us to let our imaginations run wild!
That is good to know about the Akagi body as a potential option. I am leaning towards going with white skin for Jing. He just looks so good and it makes all his details stand out.

 

I have a DC Dolores and the neck is 8.5 and the head is 20.5cm and the Jing head is 22cm. The height is 72cm but that neck is .5 larger than the other male body.The doll looks good but the head is smallish. Since I'm going for a girl I'm thinking Spirit Doll or Sadol or something with a large neck.....and I'll be ordering the head in white....

 

Jumping in on this thread as I am in awe of Jing! I was also considering him on the DC A03 body with all the extra joints, but I saw a Lestat head (his measurements are 21cm for his head with a 9.5cm neck according to Jeeryama on eBay) on one and it looked a little small but not too bad but it might work well without the extra neck joint. I'm looking to see which other bodies might work, even if I have to mod them extensively to get the look I am after it would be worth it

If it helps I saw the Lestat on Instagram when searching for miracledoll as a #tag.

 

I'm also interested to see if there are any suitable girl bodies... While I was looking around, I noticed that the newer Ringdoll girl body (RTG-04) has a 9cm neck. I wonder how big a difference that centimeter makes. I'd prefer a shorter doll and I don't mind if she has a large head, since I have a few girls already in 9/10 wigs.

ETA: Hmmm, the Spiritdoll Elegance body has a 9.5cm neck... even better, assuming it would work.

 

I guess I am jumping on the girl band wagon with everyone, because after contemplating my character some more, I have decided my Jing head will be a female automaton without a conventional body so I will be experimenting with that concept while I await the head arrival.I am pleased with the recent price reduction for Jing, they must not be getting many orders... I did ask in the news thread if they could show a photo of the head in the normal skin and tanned resin. I love the white, but WS dolls are really hard to match and the head may get a real resin body someday. I should have asked the representative at Stacy's Pink Ocean what are some resin matches for Miracle doll too while I was at it.

 

I love that Jing head so much I ordered it as well. Sigh .. No idea what I'm going to do with it but it is just amazing.

 

I still have yet to order Jing. I think I'll plan on getting him closer to the end of this year so I can work on saving up money for the body I want for him.

 

Literally just ordered Jing. Also have plans to put him on a DC body, but still deciding on one as they'e all so beautiful... He will be my cosmic prince!

 

I did too. I just could not pass it up either. I wound up ordering a white skin head because I really like that creamy tone by the looks of the promo photos even though I wavered between the white and normal skin.

I wonder how many of us wound up ordering Jing? I think the ordering period is up in a few days.
Prince Monochrome: I think he is limited and will not be available after the end of this month (?).

 

Well, it looks like I'll be ordering a new doll head today. Good thing I got paid today.
Thanks for the heads up.

 

After doing some more investigating, it looks like the head is not limited based on the promo posts for Jing, it is just the discounted price that is through Stacy's Pink Ocean. So looks like you will have more time to ponder it. I noticed Jeeryama is selling them too and has them priced at the 130.00 range.

 

I still think I'll get him now anyways because I planned on him and the discount is pretty good. I've had money put away for a doll head too so I should just jump in and get him.

 

Oh good! Are you getting the white skin too?

 

Yeah, because I love the way the doll looks in those promo pictures. The white skin also fits the character, I plan on turning him into.

 

I'm sure I'll be scouring the marketplace for a Jing head eventually! But Lillycat is re-releasing dark tan Elena and I have to have one!

But Jing is going on my wish list for sure!

 

I did it! I bought Jing. I don't know why it took me this long to purchase him but I'm really happy I did.

 

Well, looks like four of us have ordered a Jing head so far based on what has been said in this thread. I have been looking at Doll Chateau bodies too, but they are so darned expensive and don't come up for sale used very often. Jeeryama is offering some good sale prices but after you tack on the mega shipping fees you are right back to spending 500.00. I guess I may be able to justify it if I really love the head when it comes and the character I have planned really comes together after doing the face-up.

 

I ordered the Jing head in white on the 5th and it arrived on Friday the 26th! I'm amazed at how fast he got here (and no customs charges too - woohoo!).

I'm also going down the dollchateau body route (Adult Body, here we come~) but I'll be modding him to have extra arms because he's going to be my little spider OC.

I spent today doing his face up. (see below).

 

Eeek! You did an awesome job on your Jing! Really creative and creepy! Can't wait to see him decked out with his body and spider arms! What are you going to put in his head eye holes?
That is really quick turnaround on his shipping. I am still thinking about getting my incoming head a Doll Chateau body too and I know the one I want, but am hesitating hoping to find a less expensive option than buying a new one.

 

I'm putting black beads in his upper three eyes, and have orange iris/black background eyes for his main ones. They just have to arriveeee~~

I'm saving for the DC body - $530 dollars is steep but its the only body I can see working for him. I can't wait to get my hands on the body and start painting it up! Eeek!

 

Ohhhh soooo gorgeous

 

one month and waiting

 

No, but I'm thinking about the Miracledoll 1/3 body for him. Or maybe DollZone body, but I don't know about the resin and neck size match

But I've body for my Henki! It is Miracledoll 1/4 WS body, and it is so cute

 

Henki is super cute and looks full of mischief! Can't wait to see what you do with him!

wonder when we will start seeing the Jing heads start to arrive...

 

wonder when we will start seeing the Jing heads start to arrive...[/QUOTE]
I think tomorrow will be 26 working days since I ordered

 

I think tomorrow will be 26 working days since I ordered[/QUOTE]
It's been about 20 working days for me so far.

 

I ordered a full Jing in WS with SOP and I expect him to be home within the next two months I asked Jeeryama about him being limited and they said he'll be available to order until the end of this year. So he's limited but you've got plenty of time to order!

I've already decided on a name for mine, so now I've just the wait to contend with.

 

Nice!! It'll be cool to see more MiracleDoll bodies here.

As for Jing being limited for a year, I wish I knew that sooner I bought him the day before the 10% sale ended thinking that THAT was the end of his ordering period and scrambled for the money. aughghhh

 

Oh dear! Are you getting the head or the full doll?

 

I'm getting just his sweet head, unfortunately. That'll make him the fourth floating head in the house XD I'm terrible at getting bodies for them, just accessorizing the other dolls in the house takes over, lol.

 

I've had three floating heads and I didn't like it! Two of the three got bodies after a month or two of arriving and the third is just difficult to buy a body for! I had originally planned on just get the Jing head, but after admitting to myself that it'd irritate me, I thought it best to just go with the full doll. There doesn't seem to be many pictures of the Miracledoll body either (owner wise), so it'll be interesting to see Plus I love the hands with those long fingernails!

 

I thought hard about getting Jing a Miracledoll body too. It will be great to see yours when you get it! I agree, those hands with the long fingernails are awesome! Do you have a character planned out for your Jing?

 

I'm more of an aesthetic collector rather than building characters. I prefer to create a themed look. I would like to make him into some sort of stereotyped Dr, with a white drs coats and surgical props etc. I have a few monster type dolls so he would be along the lines of Victor Frankenstein and my monsters/anthro dolls could be viewed as his creations. Looking the way he does, I'd like to play on the fact that he has also experimented on himself. I'm verging almost on characters there I know, but it doesn't go much deeper than that.

 

The mad scientist VF sounds like a great fit for Jing! He has a creepy sort of strange beauty that can be brought out many different ways. My initial idea of creating a steampunk automaton Jing girl may or may not come to fruition. Sometimes the sculpt sends me in a different direction altogether when I start doing the face-up.

 

I just got an email saying he was shipped I'm so excited~

 

That's so awesome! I'm now excited. Hopefully mine will ship soon too.

 

[Redacted, wrong thread. ]

 

Mine is also in the process of shipping The tracking hasn't updated in three days though, which is unusual for an EMS delivery. I'm a little worried, so fingers crossed it's just sluggish postal services and not something more untoward.

 

Welp I will join in this discussion! So many lovely Miracledolls in here I'm dying XD I'm so excited to have my Baiye head come in from jeeryama. I ordered March 18th and no shipping mentioned yet. T_T Maybe after he comes in I'll buy the Jing head. I'm drawn to his beauty

@beatnik : please post lots of pictures when your doll comes in!

 

[Redacted, wrong thread. ]

 

My Jing should be home tomorrow with any luck I'll post pictures this weekend! I'm going to be busy with face-ups and sewing for him

 

How exciting! Looking forward to your photos! Still no word about mine, but I did order later in February.

 

I ordered pretty late in February as well. The wait is starting to get to me a bit.

 

There's a huge box lingering at home for me apparently. I've been itching to get out of work all day! Nearly time to go home, so not much longer!

If it helps anyone else, I placed my order on the 9th of Feb, so there shouldn't be too much more of a wait

ETA a quick picture! He's so beautiful and that head is so delicate .

 

@beatnik He looks so cool! I still need to buy my guy some eyes. Those hands are very beautiful on the MD body. I'm wishing I got one for my Vic when I had the chance >_>

Looks like the orders are rolling in slowly but surely, as my Jing just arrived today!

 

I got mine today too! He is so strangely beautiful even without a face-up. I can't wait to see what you all wind up doing with yours.
I have a Doll chateau torso that I may use as a stand for my head, at least temporarily. I will have to use eye putty or something to get it to stay on to take some pictures. The head looks great on the torso, but the neck hole and neck shape of Jing are not very compatible. As we knew JIng's neck hole is bigger and the DC neck's are very thin. I got a DC torso that has the pretty filligree carving which has a wavy neck which will also require modding. I'm not sure I am up for that modding/hybrid challenge especially considering how expensive the DC adult bodies are if I wanted to get a full DC body for my Jing, but I'm sure some of you out there are. I tried Jing on my April Story/IOS junior body hybrid and the neck looks too large with the head even though the Jing head was listed as having a 10 cm neck and I believe the IOS Jr body also has a 10 cm neck. Interesting.

What do you think of the Miracle doll body beatnik? What body is your Jing on Crappyshappyshaw? Jing's neck hole looks too small to sit right on that one too.One thing I noticed is the actually openning of the neck hole is very thin and small. It will be a tight fit to fit string and a larger S hook through it.
