She looks lovely! Haha is the faceplate I would have chosen! She looks wonderful with the wig you made her and she suits blue eyes The twins I remember them! What did you name them? Have you done their faceups yet?
Hi, My babies arrived yesterday!! They are adorable, even without face-ups and eyes- such darling little rolls of baby fat! I am in love with them both! But now they need eyes. Does anyone know what size eyes I should get for them? thanks
I ordered some eyes from the first link, I've heard good things about them, I really like the details in the second one cos though but it's so expensive. http://stores.ebay.com/mybayer2008s...11891010&_sid=597124430&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 https://www.etsy.com/listing/183876032/sale-1-pair-light-blue-iris-bjd-glass
Ahhh! She's so adorable! Kudos to you for doing her face-up so quickly. I hate to admit it, but I still haven't done the face-ups on mine--terrible, huh?!
I've just seen that nDollsShop is selling Brownies, and "Little Comfort", as they seem to be calling the smart comfort babies. Does anyone know if they are genuine or recast? They seem quite a lot cheaper than the Brownies from Mudoll, which made me wonder....
They are the dealer now, I don't think Mudoll restock any more? Mudoll's price was extremely high, when Brownie was first released she was priced closer to what Dolls# charge. I bought my Brownie through Dolls#, but through their main Korean site http://dollsshop.co.kr/ I never had any worries, she arrived with a very simple certificate, Felix metal plate on her head, and in good quality, same as original Brownies.

I am getting a Felix Brownie HaHa. I wasn't too sure about tiny dolls at first but my sister got one and I fell in love! Does anyone have any pics of a HaHa that I can see please? Also your Nene is darling!!!
Thank you naseniya. Aliska is adorable. I like her room.I really like the little brownies and I am very happy to see this thread alive. Have fun!
With the new release in cocoa colored resin, I'll be joining the ranks of Brownie owners soonly! I've been looking for owner photos of Vivi / "bibi," but I haven't found a single photo in any language! Is this a new sculpt? Am I not looking in the right place? I really hope they'll release the option hands in cocoa too.. I've wanted a doll in this size since discovering BJDs, and I think Vivi's head shape is the one... The blurry photo makes me wonder if it might need sanding (the eyes appear uneven?) but with tanned resin maybe that would be problematic.. Has anyone had contact with Doll's #? I can't find contact info to inquire about these things..
Dolls# emailed me from the address listed on their site, [email protected] so that's probably the best way to contact. I actually ordered my tan Yoyo a 3 weeks ago and at the time the tan hands were in the shop. But a little while later they emailed me to say there would not be any tan hands. So I asked for normal skin hands and I'll attempt to colour match. Somehow. Bibi aka Vivi is so hard to find photos of it's not a new sculpt but I think unpopular. I only ever found one photo on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/26562517@N07/2535883708 This mold never seemed to be used as a model by any of the dealers either, except the one in this blog post in the school uniform look (close to the bottom) http://ilee3.tistory.com/631 I've had another search but can't find anything else
Hi to naseniya's Alice! What is the name of the one wearing the blue striped dress? I like her sculpt! Very babyish This is my Haha with her big sister, Reina! Her name is Mei Ling but to everyone she's MeiMei Supervising like responsible siblings by Sunrei LaChance, on Flickr
Ah, I'm absolutely loving everyones' Brownie photos and the environments you have set up for them!! They are so super cute and I can't wait to finally experience this size range too! Love your beauties. Keep 'em coming! [MENTION=336]babytarragon[/MENTION] - Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and findings!! You've been a tremendous help! I'm hoping for a face that's a bit smiley (or at least has potential to be painted smiley!) and not very babyfaced. I like the non-chubby cheeks on Vivi.. but that ultra tiny nose.. hm~ we'll see! It's too bad about the hands! I thought about ordering a set in white and trying for a color-match too, but I've never dyed resin and am afraid.. at worst I'll chicken out and it'll look like she has gloves on... r-right?! I really hope your attempt goes well for you! If one of the two of us gets it right, we can exchange Brownie-Cocoa-match dye recipes.
Until she arrives I'm not sure which route I'll go for colour match. Dye, vinyl spray paint, airbrush, pastel.. I guess airbrush would be easiest to get exact.
Hello MeiMei and her sister! the blue striped dress Aliska has no yet(( but she has two sisters IMG_20150624_214406.jpg
Sooo many adorable dolls!! Tomorrow I'll try to get some pictures of Aspen (my felix brownie HaHa) on here! Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
I'm right there with you babytarragon! Feeling so anxious to meet my little choco too! My order has been queued for shipment for awhile. Which makes me hope, soon... soon! I did a very primitive mock-up of how she might look, coloring over one of the photos from the flickr owner pics you shared above. I think it will be just perfect, and I can't wait to dress her up and to share more photos of Vivi and her choconess~! ^_^
I wish they'd make a larger brownie. Like either 15cm or 26cm. All the old heads returning with a couple new ones.
I've been waiting 8 weeks for my Choco Brownie, I really hope she ships soon! Although I haven't ordered a wig yet as I haven't found one I really like ^^;
I'm still waiting too. Today is the 30th business day since my order.. Then I noticed on the clothing I also bought, the lead time is up to 45 business days! >_< And now they've announced a break for a holiday..... Until the end of the month.
That's so annoying! I ordered on July 16th so that's 60 business days. I tried emailing but didn't get a reply. I thought ordering mid July would give plenty of time before my holiday at the end of October! I wanted to bring her as a handbag doll.
They took several days to get back to my inquiry, and now everything on the site is Sold Out. That's a bit concerning - I hope everything is alright with them! But my order has shipped. @babytarragon Has your order status changed too? There's still a sliver of hope that yours may arrive before your holiday, right? Maybe? I'm hoping for you!! @wiccy , Hey, hi! You did nicely! I like the eye and hair colors you chose too.
Actually she did arrive,they just never updated the order status! And the wig I had for her was huge (mudoll, dodgy sizing. ..) So I'm on holiday without her. Ah well ^^;
Lokinta and babytarragon, I'm really pleased that your dolls got sent before there site went to "sold out". Hopefully they just have too many orders and want to catch up! I've been wanting to order for a while, but was still deciding who to order! So I hope they haven't stopped taking orders permanently. Does anyone know what's happening with their site? Does anyone know where I could find a picture of the different brownie faces with default face ups? On ndoll's site, they only show them blank, which makes deciding more difficult. wiccy, your little girl is so cute! I love the color of eyes you chose!
@Keri I'm with you, hoping they are catching up on orders or that perhaps the weather has just become unseasonable for production. It's worrisome that they don't give any explanation for closing up shop. I do hope they come back, but that people who buy from them would get better communication, or at least have their lead-time expectations kept more realistic. The doll and accessories are nice quality! ^_^ I wanted a less baby-like face, so I ordered based mostly on the shape of Vivi's jaw line, even though I couldn't find clear owner pics anywhere. A bit crazy! Searching the sculpt names in Korean hangul and Japanese kana on Google turned up some results of the other sculpts. As for default faceups though, I think we have to wait for owners of ndolls/Dolls# Brownies to share what they got from them. The default faceups probably change each time the owner of the rights to produce and distribute the doll change. Sorry I can't give insight to Dolls#'s faceup style, I ordered blank! I haven't had a chance to sit down and make her a real wig yet! The yukata came from Dolls# (tag says CrazyAngel), and is really nicely made (do recommend!) Ah, and I've found that 7mm eyes look much nicer than 8mms. Maybe Vivi's eye holes are just a bit smaller than the other Brownies' faces.
I still haven't found a wig for her so had to make a little messy thing to cover her head, but here's my Yoyo Yoyo by Georgie, on Flickr She's won my heart already ^^
So cute!! I like how the hair looks. Mine is still waiting for me to get my act together. Did you paint the faceup yourself, or is that the default? It's super cute and the light illuminates her face *gorgeously!*
Your doll's brown resin appears a few shades darker than the other chocos, is it just the photo or is her color really that chocolatey compared to my/others' milky cocoa color? It's so lovely.. I don't know how to make my dolly "glow" like that, she always appears to have a white finish to her surface. Is there something you did to improve that? You seem to have got someone really special there! >u<
I know what you mean about the white finish, I was a bit surprised when I opened her. Her face has just a touch of orange pastel all over, I use very expensive pastels (which is fine cos I only bought a few colours) so they have high vibrancy. Because as you mentioned, the resin lacks that certain 'glow'. I used Purity Seal as the sealant because it is very good at allowing the pastel colours to show through vibrantly. I love MSC but the white bloom I sometimes get would have made her worse!
