Morolab2 Discussion Thread

Jun 7, 2021

    1. I'm going to start a discussion thread for Morolab2. They are fairly new to the scene but have already made several heads.

      Naver Blog/Website: 안녕하세요, moroLAB²입니다.


      This company/artist creates 1/3 heads.

      Based on their website, they have released 6 heads in total in just a little over a year!

      The heads are always released with an optional part/prop.

    3. Hi! I’m glad I’ve brought the attention of this company to someone! They release new heads quite often so I think the new beautiful boy is just around the corner.♥️
       
    4. I have a Nagi head from Morolab.

      Something not mentioned above is that the maker/sculptor for Morolab is the faceup artist Heavybomb - hence all the gorgeous looks in the promo pics. Heavybomb has been working on BJDs almost since the beginning of the hobby, collaborating with Custom House for a number of Limited and Unique doll releases starting in the early 2000's. She's one of the earliest faceup artists for BJDs with a recognizable name along with about four or five others.

      I was hoping she would offer faceups for her sculpt releases but that is not the case. You can by blank heads or wait to see if she does one of her sculpts as a one off auction with a faceup.

      I just sent my head off to faceup artist aridede. I am hoping to channel my love a long green haired anime boys into this character. I've put him on a spare SD17 body, he's got the outfit, wig and eyes he needs, so I'm just waiting for him to have a face.

    5. I actually didn't know that they have been that long! It certainly shows how talented they are with how quick they sculpt new heads and paint them for the promo pics.
      Thank you for this information!

      I am also hoping you will post your Nagi here when he comes back from aridede. :)

    9. Awesome! I also ordered a DF-A for my Nile. I thought yours has great proportions so mine should work nicely too! Thank you. <3

    10. This body is very beautiful and versatile. I'm sure Nile will look great!
      I hope that the topic will become popular. I want more home photos!:love

    11. hehe - I got photos back from aridede of my boy's faceup! This style may not be everyone's cuppa but I think he's stunning. :chibi

      He's on his way home to me, so I'm sure there will be more pics once h's all together. :clover

    12. @idrisfynn, Wow, how unusual! I like that style. It is very interesting to see him in full image!

      Another boy recently arrived at me)
      Now I'm thinking about his clothes.

    13. My Nile has shipped a few days ago!
      The DF-A body I ordered for him should also ship this month.
      So excited but this is the least ready I have been for a new doll.
      Usually, they already have an outfit, wig and a pair of eyes set aside for them.
      Due to financial reasons, I was not able to do it for this doll, but I am looking forward to completing him very soon! <3


      WOW! He looks so unique. I don't think I've seen a doll like that before. Congrats, I hope he makes it home soon!

      Ooooh please share information about clothes that will fit this body. The pants especially are a challenge for me. ID75 would fit, but it would be too long. :...(
       
    14. @dolliberate, Oh, thats cool! I wish you an early receipt :love
      Unfortunately, I cant help and tell you where to buy clothes. I sew clothes myself using a pattern for Dollshe 18M (mistic) body. Perhaps clothes for 18 M will fit the size for DF-A 70 cm :3nodding:
       
    15. Thank you for the tip!
      Look who arrived today.♥️

    16. Thank you @dolliberate and @GallaL ! He is an unusual looking guy with this faceup, I really think aridede captured what I was looking for! Also congrats on the new arrivals both of you!!

      Is that still the Doll Family A body you're using for the new guy? I can't tell from the two photos. He's very pretty and has some nice looking hands!

      According to my tracking my boy Mantis should be arriving tomorrow! Which means he took more than 3 weeks to get to Poland but only took a week to get back! Huzzah! Now I just have to decide if I'm stopping by work to pick him up, or waiting til I'm back in on Friday to bring him home.
       
    17. @idrisfynn, for the SAHARA I use the body of Dollwings 70 cm. I reduced the neck. Oh, yes, the hands are really beautiful and the fingers are elegant.

      Waiting is always exciting)
       
    18. Yeah, that's right! Sorry, I made a typo in the company name :doh
       
    19. To the people looking for pants for the DF-A 70cm body, there is a limited preorder on NineNine Style right now. I grabbed a few already.

    20. Does anyone happen to have a Morolab head in white? I’m very tempted by Erzsébet, and I’d be putting him on a white Volks body. But I could live with normal if I knew that it was a better resin match with Volks than white? Thank you!
       
    21. I'm sorry I can't help you @snowgray.
      I asked the creator about compatibility and I was told the colors Morolab2 uses are based on Switch swatches.

      So Terra-Cotta (tan) matches Switch's Mocha Brown color.
      moroBisque = Normal
      Pearly White = Rosy White

      I think it would be easier to find resin matchest for Switch vs Volks!

      I found these for NS.

      1. WELCOME ❁
      2. Resin Comparisons

      Good luck!

    22. If Morolab colors are based on Switch colors then Morolab pearly white won't match Volks white. Switch rosy white has a pink undertone, while Volks is more yellow/beige.
       
    23. Thank you for asking! I saw that you just got a reply on IG.
       
    24. I got the same reply from Morolab about matching with Switch Rosy, which I’ve also owned and doesn’t match Volks white. Thank you everybody!
       
    25. My Nile arrived today!
      He is still missing many of the stuff I bought for him (shipping issues). But for now, here he is. And I kinda like this look on him, too!

    26. I absolutely adore Morolab2, I discovered them a few months back during the Erzsébet pre order. I managed to snag the Metternich head and the Lycan dagger in October! I just received both a couple days ago!

    27. They have a preorder soon. I think. I found out about them yesterday, but don't know how to buy, the cost, or any more information. I'm glad I found this thread to read. I hope the items aren't limited stock.

      @dolliberate
      He is a gorgeous doll. He looks like he is daydreaming.

      That's a really interesting look. I like it a lot. It's not normally what I like. His face up reminds me of a pierrot for some reason. He has a really charismatic charm to his face up. He reminds me of the red queen from Alice in wonderland too. It's because of the heart lips.

      I can't find the average cost of morolab2 head. Does it come with a body and accessories?

      I'm thinking the cost might be about $300 if purchasing the head and extra items it comes with. I looked at the hall of fame on morolab² and that's my estimated guess. Is that the average cost of morolab²? I think shipping is going to make it close to$400... this is what I'm thinking might be the cost.

      I really wish I had the exact cost of the preorder coming up. I like to know all these things in advance and plan out my purchases.

    28. I put Mantis together and dressed him up a while ago, but I thought maybe I'd finally get around to sharing him here~

    29. Super excited, ordered 2 Sahell heads in morobisque (normal skin). Now I'm shopping around for bodies!

    30. I am on the verge of ordering a Sahel head, I am in love with the sculpt, but my concern is finding a body that matches the terracotta. I know Switch are meant to be matches, but does anyone know of others? Or am I going to have to spend the next 4 months hoping that Switch do a restock on the 70cm mocha browns :eusa_pray
       
    31. @thegoddamnqueen DFH can match Switch. I would reach out and ask if they have mocha brown to match (I know they can normal and white but they only resin match now what they have on hand so not sure in regards to other colors). A friend of mine is waiting for a MB Switch release though and they did tell them they were planning to do one before the end of the year.

      Excited to see others Sahel. I like the Seth parts, too bad you cant buy them separate.
       
    32. ooh good to know that we might see one before the end of the year! Thats also really good to hear about DFH, mostly because even if I dont go with a body from there I was also hoping to get him some jointed hands and knowing they do the resin match will save a lot of searching :love I think knowing all this has pretty much solidified my mighty need to order him. The one time I tried a hybrid in the past it went terribly, but with how much more options there are these days I feel a lot more confident in its success, thanks for the info :)

    33. Sahell is one of MoroLAB2’s prettiest sculpts yet. ♥️

      My guy is on a DF-A 70 body. The match to Mocha Brown (Switch swatch), is pretty good! The hands here are also from DF-A.

    34. For information))
      My guys: a great color match with the adagio granado normal color. I also chose bodies with color normal from switch. Iha on dfa70 body, Ikyung on dollvings 70 body , Mettel on granado adagio 70 body.
      For Sahel, I bought a ringdoll new body in normal color. I'll be able to take a picture later)

    37. So many beautiful babes!

      Has anyone tried them on a 75cm body or is that pushing the proportions a bit too much? I am currently tied between DF-A and maybe Granado if they have a good colour match, but if I am being honest the DF-A 75 actually has my ideal body image and proportions, but I dont want my Sahell to end up tiny head xD I ask as that body still only has a 11cm neck so I wonder if its doable
       
    38. In a week I will be able to try on any head on a 75 cm ringdoll body RGM-5. He has a 12 cm neck and 16 cm shoulders. I want to see the proportions too. The Granado adagio 75 cm is very large and I don't think it will fit. The DF-A 70 is smaller in size than the granado adagio and I too am thinking to use it in the future)
       
    39. Does anyone know if the morobisque color is same as switch powder beige or is it something different? I'm considering a universe doll body in normal yellow which seems like a good match for the old switch normal, but I don't know what the "old switch normal" actually is..
       
    40. @oyone I have a 2018 switch head. I can only take a comparison photo at the end of the week... But it looks to me like the old switch is more yellow than the new morolab morobisque..
      At this point there is only a comparison with the new switch
      [​IMG]
       
    41. @GallaL thank you so much! I missed that new comparison photo, thanks for sharing! They (the new switch + mlab2 heads) look really close. If universe doll ends up being too yellow, I will probably go for a Switch or Granado body based on what others have had success with.

    42. I am really hoping someone can help me who already has a morolab2 at home.

      I want to commission a wig for my incoming Sahell, and since it has a 3 month processing time I was hoping to get it started sooner rather than later. The only issue is the maker needs some quite specific measurements. I did email morolab about them last week but I’m yet to hear back from them. I’ve been looking at side by sides of all their previous sculpts and it does seem the measurements I need are consistent across the different heads so I would love it if someone could help me out and would be ever in your favour :abow:

      I’ve uploaded the images of the required measurements here imgur.com
       
    43. @hime nao Indeed, the heads are not significantly, but different from each other. I have 7 heads and won't be able to take measurements until after the weekend) But I would suggest waiting for the head to get the wig exactly right)
       
    44. That would be amazing if you were able to grab measurements. If they’re consistent I may send them over to the artist, but if not I will probably wait until it’s in hand. Given that I am still having my dilemma over 72 or 75 bodies it’s not like he’s going to be all in one piece any time soon lol
       
    45. @GallaL did you happen to get the ringdoll body yet? Curious of the resin match and head fit? I'm now considering an rgm2 body in wheat to match my Sahell head in morobisque.
       
    46. @oyone hello! I took a quick picture with the head cover. The normal ringdoll skin color is a little lighter than the morolab. It's not saturated, but I liked the combination. I will take a better picture later)
      [​IMG]

      This is Erzsbet's head for example

    47. Oooooh is that the 75cm body? Those proportions look really good
       
    48. @hime nao Yes, that's right) But the neck needs a little shortening. The color is a very good match)
       
    49. @GallaL Wow that is a solid bod. Ringdoll sculpting is :chefkiss: Thats one beautiful boy you got there! I'm totally stoked for seeing my boy put together now. I may still go with the wheat skin and blush the head if its too dark. Thanks so much for sharing your pics!!

    50. thank you for sharing those pics! Helped me finally make up my mind and I’ve decided to go with the DF-A 75cm for my Sahell :D

    51. @GallaL I forgot to ask but out of curiosity is the ringdoll normal closer or the granado normal closer in resin match to the morobisque?
       
    52. I thought the granado was a bit of a pink shade and the ringdoll was creamy. The closest color to normal skin is Switch))
       
    53. Thank you!
       
    54. Ok guys, I want to establish the following, and for your support I will be grateful!

      I have the Metternich and Ceska Heads. Ceska has been painted now, and I am eager to get him a body, he is the Bique color, and I want to know if I order the doll family body, do I got for Normal Yellow? or Normal Pink?
      At the moment the head is sitting on a body that belongs to his old shell :) I am specifically looking at this body Doll Parts, Doll Family - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls - Alice's Collections


      At the moment he is looking like this

      Login • Instagram
       
    55. I think you may be able to order DF body in Switch normal (by request). For their default color options I'm not sure but my guess would be normal yellow? There are some owners in this thread who can give the right answer.

      Also unrelated but is that a snake.. genital? :ablink:
