For anyone interested, if you follow Miracle Doll on IG, they have pics of a very well done muscular female at 68cm. Not sure when she'll be released, but she looks amazing!
Thanks for the heads up, @chalyss, that's a very well proportioned body, still a bit slender but not in an unrealistic way. I'll definitely wait and see how it turns out, and in the meantime I better study the Miracle Doll topic to learn how they pose and feel.
Oooooo, thanks for that, @chalyss! I really like that slender, but muscular figure. I will keep watching for her!
my big issue is when I say I want a muscular female, I want a weight lifter/wrestler/Luisa Madrigal, not a slender marathon runner who happens to have a chiseled six pack and dehydration-cut muscles... Nice as those can look it's not my style at all.
I never really thought about it but I think I would like to own a girl more on the muscular side. I saw a doll made after Korra once. She was really pretty but a stronger looking body would have fit her better
I am considering getting one of the new Rainman heads and would like a muscular body to go with it. I am currently looking at the Impldoll muscular body, but I am not sold on it yet.
Agreed! I'd love a body for a female that is thick and powerful too, one that doesn't need to be made from a boy body. And Luisa Madrigal, definitely. Considering we JUST got that in Barbie format, I think it'll be awhile before we get that from a main company. But yes, I want that too. I also want the leaner form like the Miracle Doll one above. I just want variety!
Good eye! Yes, it's rather hippy/bootylicious for a boy body, so works well as a female flip (IMO). I need to mod the neck a bit, but the rest I like.
lowkey, I might have to grab one to pair with the new miracledoll girl. I want a full DnD party of buff ladies haha
Yes! I agree with this! And I'd like to see pics of them all! A group of buff ladies in armor is definitely needed!
FYI, according to New Clover Singing. The body is only available for pre-order until 15 March. A very short time. So weird. Usually when a BJD company releases a new body, it's available for years and not days. It must take a lot of time to develop a new body. You would think Miracle Doll would want a long time to make up for all the time spent in R&D.
I think maybe they are uncertain as to how well it will do. A single mold allows for 20-25 casts before it has to be remade. If it doesn't do well, they may not remake the mold. I'm just guessing as to the reason, though. The molds aren't cheap, either.
BJDivas also just posted about the new Miracle girl and said that the extra hands and feet are gifts this go around, and future preorders are likely to be more expensive.
Has anyone been able to find her neck size? I'm heavily considering getting the body for my Dragonshell Doll Cat head, but I want to know it'll fit! I do love the head that comes with, but if I can cut into my floaters that's the best option. EDIT: New Clover Singing to the rescue! It's 10cm.
I was thinking the exact same thing too. A Dragonshell Doll Cat head on that body. However the shop is on a break because it is in Russia. I will have to wait until it re-opens. I really like that head and should have bought it sooner.
I actually have my Cat on a 10cm neck (male supergem) body right now, and I think it’s pretty proportionate Lex by Indifferent Red, on Flickr mine is getting either a twigling head (yep, another one) or possibly an impl head at the moment, but Cat would look really good on that body
@Flemcat Glad to see I'm in good company! Maybe you could have some luck on the secondhand market? My Cat has been sadly in her box since the first preorder. @Chameleon I went ahead with it! I'm SO excited for my Cat to finally have her body, and I'm thrilled the neck size is going to be great. Thanks so much for the picture! And literally any Twigling head would look gorgeous. I was considering Impldoll Bianca for the body originally, but then I remembered my Cat!
She's beautiful and with much better joints than my Nobility f. muscle body, but 65 cm is too large for my Nora.
You may be able to find someone to shorten her legs, if that's an option you'd consider. She's definitely leggy. I ended up ordering 2 of these bodies, so we'll see... fingers crossed!
No, because I'd never heard of them. *L* I went and looked- lovely dolls, far too short for me, but some people really want a fashion sized version. LOVE some of those facial sculpts! She is slender but ripped and jointing looks incredible: Valkyrie - Amicus Dolls
Speaking of Miracle Doll....I'm torn between this one and my original plan of ImplDoll female muscular body. The body is a bit pricy but darn....I love the proprtion of her muscles and she has a three-jointed torso (vs Impldoll's two-jointed torso) Doll Parts, Miracle Doll - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls - Alice's Collections I think I'm destined to always go the frankenstein route when pursuing the perfect dorrie representation of my characters.
Some time ago Miracle Doll posted more shots of her dressed, but radio silence after that, sadly. That wig is a bit of a mess, and the dress needs a little care too.
Wow, I love the Miracle Doll 68cm muscle body. Is it still orderable? On ACBJD it's shown as orderable but on their TaoBao site the price is set to 9999 which usually means not orderable.
[Miracle Doll] Zhi Shen (68cm Muscular Female) Limited Ordering Period – BJDivas This is the BJDivas post when it was released
This is the response I got from Alice's Collections re: whether the Miracle Doll 68cm muscle body is really available or a mistaken listing: "We just placed a 68cm muscle female body to Miracle Doll today , we'll keep selling the body until they tell us to stop." Sounds like they believe the orders will be fulfilled!
Just want to add that Alice's collection spoke to a human at Miracle Doll to answer a question for me and the muscle girl body is definitely 100% still orderable. And I ordered it!
That’s fantastic news!! I grabbed mine from clover singing, but I’m already considering that another character might need one. I wonder if this means it’s going to be a regularly sold item like their other bodies?
That's it. I'm 100% sold on getting the Miracle Doll muscular girl body. And I bet she's gonna be gorgeous in light tan skin!
Quick update folks: it appears ACBJD no longer sells the Miracle Doll muscle girl body. I checked their website and it is not showing anymore.
Yes. After this initial sale, the bodies, if they return, would be more expensive. I bit the bullet and bought 2. Now the waiting.
Might as well wait until Miracle Doll re-releases their muscular girl body then. Hopefully with female head options so I do not go through the franken-doll route again.
I know, I hate those narrow windows of opportunity! I used my tax returns, it was the only way I could do it. Maybe one day they'll be more permanent. We could always start a petition and ask!
Is it just me, or was the Miracledoll girl an extremely quiet release? I didn't see a thing about it until two days before it closed. Had to pass because I couldn't squeeze it in, and I'm still sad. Usually when they have a full head or event doll, I see the posts multiple places, but this girl seemed to get no love.
It was really quick and quiet- and I would have missed it completely if I didn't know about it from this thread. I think most companies still feel that a muscular female just wouldn't be popular enough to justify the costs of making the mold- or a 2nd mold after the first 20 casts kill the first. It (a muscular female) seems to be a more Western desire and the biggest companies are predominantly Eastern ones. Big gamble for them, perhaps. I am waiting for mine with baited breath!
I saw the posts here and on BJDivas and ACbjd, they had really informative news posts about the body, head and order period
I'm getting her orc head and hands, but couldn't afford her whole self. She is the dream though!! I decided on the iron blue, though it will be impossible to match, because I couldn't resist that amazing color. Time to learn to dye.
@Ryuichi Sakuma 13 She's made by Bonelace on Instagram. Login • Instagram The full doll sold out in minutes, but heads are still open.
Yes! She was the one sure plan I made for this year. I was stalking BoneLace's page for the form link right at eleven. @Thymeseer I'm not sure if it's the perfect body vs the colour you're prioritizing more, but Impldoll, Doll Family H, and Angell Studio do custom colours, although I think Impldoll is the only one with a bigger girl body. Do you have a body in mind for her/him? Your taste in dolls is always creative- if you do go the dye route, I can't wait to see.
What a cool sculpt! I think I'd be more interested in the body, since I want two muscular, poseable bodies for my Linda Carter Wonder Woman and Xena: Warrior Princess. Ryu
@Loptr I am so undecided on my orc's gender, I'm definitely going to have to wait until they're in-hand to decide. I was debating the Impldoll MGB though; I really wish they'd make a muscle version of that!! And thanks for the compliment! I like my crew of weirdos and interesting people. I've been wanting to dye a a few things anyway, so I fortunately I will get a bit of practice before I settle on a body. Edit: JUST had an idea. I'm going to have to add an extra pair of hands! I want a 4 armed gal.
