Iplehouse needs opinions to make Hercules girl body so now we need to vote as the muscle girl thread on their own forum has received so much support so maybe they'll now make one strong girl for us if it gets most votes !!! IPLE_TALK < IPLE TALK POLL < What kind of body do you want for new HID Woman?
I wrote them this, my personal suggestion. Seems like someone else also linked this model's gallery to them "Please search pictures or videos of gorgeous fitness model Andreia Brazier, her body is very beautiful and ladylike and definitely not manly even though she has rough muscles. You'll love her beautiful smiling face as well, so why not to use her for making a head for HID female. http://www.trimmedandtoned.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/andreia-brazier-pics.jpg https://shadesofmink.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/ab2.jpg The height could be 67-70cm but please make sure that old EID heads don't look too small in scale if you make 70cm body as it needs slightly bigger proportions/taller legs and taller torso part. And some of my personal opinions. -not too heavy leg muscles, it's easier to make fitting clothes when the legs aren't gigantic even though they need some detailing as well. -slightly thicker neck goes better with muscles, so please pay attention to it so it's not too skinny but it should fit old heads too. -Would be wonderful to get small bust size among M and L bust because not all fitness girls have big boobs. I'd personally choose very small bust for my girl. -if you want to add visible veins, please make them softly so they don't catch too much attention -when making a head, do not make too young looking and innocent girl, some dolls like Scarlet, Rebecca, Zera and Raffine have better and mature faces for example. Please avoid too round and cute face, she could have stronger jawline but not like a man, just softer and elegant. -Please make some hand parts she can hit things, like you made for Bichun karate/boxing hands"
I took the liberty of pointing them towards Claudia Black as Aeryn Sun (back in the good old Farscape days). Although I may have doomed myself there. If they do make a doll based on Aeryn, there's no way I'd get out of buying her.
*LOLOL* Claudia Black was BA on farscape! I do adore her! And she was nicely toned, I'd go for that! Adalwolf, Andreia was the content of the album link I posted. That is allll Andreia pics. Impldoll asked me for a model for their muscular Idol and I made that for them. Pretty sure no two companies would make her identically (and not sure if Impl IS going ahead on it or not) but it was available as something to look at (and she gorgeous!!) so maybe... just maybe....
I am wondering what sizes people are wanting their athletic/superhero/strong women to be? Personally I'd really enjoy an average old school 60 cm height, but I can imagine that people would want their women to be able to compete with all the 65/70cm beefcake guys.
I don't even want muscular male dolls, let alone muscular female dolls This is the type of doll I love to see but would not love to own. I would love to see female dolls like Xena the warrior princess but more than that is a no (I just don't like the physical culturist look on both genders). Btw, Adalwolf's girls rock my socks!! they're amazing
Oh wow, indeed! Aaah what a gallery~~*drool* Well, it's great that now Iple knows that she could be a perfect body inspiration. (and I'm not the only one praising her look there haha!). I didn't even know that Impldoll is also inspired to make muscle girls? That's fantastic if they do. I have one idol body at home and getting another, but those stronger girl doll body types must get more attention in the future ( I hope..) but I feel very hopeful and positive about Iple's incoming HID-W. I'd be very sad if people who prefer lean/non muscular look just defend that women are not meant to be strong or physically bigger and Iple decide to leave the body just EID-like and very "let's play safe" common girl body look blargh so boring =_= they can buy SID and EID bodies like before.. let's just not ruin it from ppl who want something _different_ even once, more choices are always better and there'd be something for everyone. I'd personally need her to be 67-70cm, the best for me is 68-69cm so she'd be slightly taller than my 65cm girls (It's just so annoying that they're like copies height-wise, that's not realistic imo.. I have tried to put them different shoes to make even few cms differences!). And 65cm looks so short next to 75cm guy too, it's realistic but not all women are short and tiny anyway.. xD It's lovely that you still would like to see them or just support the idea! I personally don't like skinny boys such as Dollshe's old male sculpts and their bodies but I'd never speak rudely about them for people who love them. Variety! And thanks a lot, that was very kind of you ^___^ I appreciate
@arienh, I would personally love the companies to offer longer/shorter legs so YOU can choose a 60cm girl or a 68cm girl, kind of like how Miro Doll has leg lengths for their boys and 3 different heights. Long legs on a girl look great, so that is my hope. @Adalwolf, agreed!! Don't give us more of the same... mix it up a bit! I want a She-hulk! I want a powerful woman! Absolutely!
@chalyss since this thread is older than Iplehouse's new HID-W plan, should we somehow invite all the interested people to vote that muscular choice on Iple's site? like by tagging so they'd notice and act? or just hope that they have noticed lol
Oh good idea! *LOL* Whatever will help us get what we want, dang it! If you know how to tag and stuff, please do! Thanks for the thought!
@chalyss Okay, here's a quick HEADS UP!- list of people who answered 1. 2. or 3. (or between them, but still a way like "yes please") Therefore shortly: You are invited to make this happen! as Iplehouse is designing their HID female body, there's finally a possibility to get a muscular female doll which would be sculpted carefully (you know, it's Iple..) and with a height like 65-70cm. Please visit here, log in/make an account and write them your thoughts OR write your thoughts about muscular Iple girl here on doa and we'll link this thread to Iplehouse. They have already mentioned "bigger or muscular" on a poll #2 so there _is_ a possibility and they need to know are people interested to buy one and which kind. Never hurt to beg?

I would really want one that is 58-60cm like most other SD girls. Big dolls are often too heavy for their elastic and end up annoyingly floppy because of it. And working out doesn't make you taller so being average height with the rest of my crew would actually be best/ make more sense.
OOh, nice! Thank you, @Adalwolf!! @sahoma, good point! floppy is not so great! My crew is mostly 65cm and above these days, so in line with that would be a taller gal for me. But I don't do all one size, so variety is key in my group. Still, yes, I see what you mean!
You know... as soon as I read the title I was like, "NOPE!" Then I really thought about it... I would. I can't remember her name, but there is a GIF on Tumblr of this beautiful blonde European girl lifting & I remember the remarks in the comments saying that she looks like a goddess & she did. Ugh. Her body was so bold & beautiful.
My girls or boys aren't too floppy or too heavy for elastics/posing... they're well strung with enough big elastics + sueding and I don't have a single 60cm doll but at meet ups I haven't felt they'd magically pose better, it's the jointing, engineering etc, not the size alone :'D
Yes, increasing elastic size really helps with the bigger dolls provided their string holes can accommodate. I've had to restring some I strung with too thick elastic. Hot glue sueding definitely helps. If the doll owner can't do these things, then weight may be a problem. Engineering helps LOADS! @Missie L, see? You need a goddess!
I think having a superhero female character is awesome! I just don't have much of a desire for having a muscular female doll myself.
This is just super exciting. I just really hope she's at least 70-72cm and available in all colors. There are no female dolls in that range and a well-made, fierce-looking female in that size would be an answer to my dolly prayers!
I'd fall under 3. I have no real plans right now for one but if there was one on the market, I'd probably be all over her. Especially if I could get her in a dark skintone! Like a nice chocolate color
2 for me! I have actually become interested in sculpting my own BJD, and when this interest was fist kindled, it was because I never found any buff girls. I think she would have softer muscles than guys, and probably be more full than most girls.
same for me! shorter or more gentle guy bodies, ambiguous bodies, stronger female bodies, I want them all I'm working on my own muscled lady right now but I'm really wishing for more companies to jump on the bandwagon. It'd be really cool to see different styles and types of musculature next to each other. I'm guessing that if Iplehouse gives into our request they will work towards a fitness/body builder type of frame. Personally I'm more a fan of less showy/more athlete type of muscles. (think Camille Leblanc-Bazinet 01 02 03 *-*)
2. Yes, I have future plans for a girl like that. That would be awesome I think Iple said something about maybe releasing a Hercules girl line in the future? Idk.
@Missie L @MooseyRae @siriusstar @NamelessPierrot @dragolivia @arienh Remember to write your request here if you answered yes, because Iple is indeed considering HID female as more muscular girl *still trying to spread the word because seems that many ppl here don't even know!* IPLE_TALK < IPLE TALK POLL < What kind of body do you want for new HID Woman? IPLE_TALK < IPLE TALK POLL < What kind of body do you want for new HID Woman? (Part 2)
1 and 2! She would be perfect for my Greenie, also I'm a sucker for a girl with muscles. They're really hard to find, but so far I like AOD's muscular ladies.
Huh! I would not have considered AoDs as muscular. I only have one AoD girl now- I'm gonna go look at them again. They were definitely trim! (AODs rock, too- awesome posing and engineering.)
I can't remember the exact doll, but it was such a nice balance of muscle and curves, she's so pretty!
Yep yep yep yep. Want one and have a character already. I'm probably going to mod it myself (as the Iple would be too tall for my collection, I think)... Or maybe I'll be positively suprised and they'll make one around 65cm.
#2 I've got a character I'd really like to make into a doll and she'd look so much more accurate with a muscular body. I've been looking but I haven't found anything that really strikes me yet. The few I've seen look more like a body builder body and I'm looking more for professional gymnast or dancer type of muscles. I just want a female doll with defined muscles, not necessarily bulk.
Classy Doll/April Story had a toned body you were probably looking for. You might still be able to get one: Idol head on April Story body
2. One day in the future I have plans to get some dolls for characters and the female character needs to be muscular.
Oooo! Those are nice. They're not quite what I was thinking of, but I do like them all the same. Thanks for the link!
2. Yes, I have future plans for a girl like that. I've had an idea for a troll girl for so long, A muscular and feminine body would be perfect for her character.
1) I would love a muscular female doll. Aside from some from Doll Chateau I don't really like any of the BJDs I've seen, at least not enough to buy them, primarily due to a lack of varied body types, particularly in muscle tone. One of the only characters I have who I'm interested in shelling into a doll in the future just wouldn't work in a standard shell, she would definitely need a large amount of muscle. I was really disappointed to learn that the nobility doll order went so badly, as it's the only female doll I've seen at all that is muscular enough for what I'm looking for...
!) ! Yes please! While I adore the soft, feminine bodies out there, I really, REALLY want more muscular girl bodies.
1. Yes, I want one. I need her now. Gimme. Please and thank you. I'm a sucker for realism and diversity among my dolls, so I would most definitely buy a muscular girl.
2. Yes, I have future plans for a girl like that. One of my characters is a toned, but not overly muscular girl from the 1850's who knows 7 different styles of martial arts. Keeping my fingers crossed Iplehouse will make a body like this in the 60cm-62cm range since she is canonically shorter than the two guys.
Would you buy a muscular female doll body? 3. Not right now, but maybe some day. I like diversity in dolls and characters what practice martial arts. I will definitely get one in some future, since most of my characters have fit bodies and are warriors.
Yes, I want one. I need her now. Gimme. Please and thank you. I've been interested in Twigling's body for that very reason. It's one of the few bodies out there that is something other than voluptuous. Not that it isn't that but the musculature is different from other doll bodies which too often are merely sexy. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it would be nice to have a seriously muscular body. I remember seeing that someone was trying to make an overweight body but it wasn't very well designed from the looks of it. That would be interesting too.
1!! I've actually sort of given up my search so at some point I'm gonna get a beefy dude and mod her (it's ok if she looks a bit masculine... ) I adore beefy girls from an aesthetic standpoint, and its so disappointing at the lack of them !
4: I'm not really interested in female dolls or tough looking ones in general, but it is something we definitely need in the hobby.
Thank you all for your comments, please keep them coming! @dollhausen, I saw one of the heavier set ones too. I am very interested in that because it's so rare. (And not to have it only in a tiny like Sleeping elf's Bon Bon, who is incredibly cute!) But decent muscular girls are also very rare and I have more need of that. It'd be nice to have options!
Yes!! A muscular female doll (preferably msd size) would be perfect and I'd definitely get one if one was made available. One of the more important characters in my personal fictional universe is waiting patiently for a body...
3. Not right now, but maybe some day I'm currently waiting for 2 dolls and planning on shelling another 2 so I'm really not supposed to think of any doll right now XD But I think diversity is very important, I'm sure there are people out there waiting for this well toned female body at the moment
This thread just so happened to cross my path, and I was suddenly reminded of a post I saw on Tumblr a few days ago. Keep in mind, that this is from an individual artist, not a major company. And that it is still in the early development stages. But this post seems VERY relevant to this thread, so I hope it's okay to post a link here: boypink — she arrived. and she’s THICK. dayum <3 on the...
If there was a muscular girl body, I would definitely want one. The difficult part would be scraping together the cash. u.u
I would absolutely love a muscular female doll and think it should 100% be an option but given my current finances I'd probably have to go with #3.
Good news, IOS is finally posting pictures of their incoming muscle girl body! if you can't see this, go to Dollios fb page
Def. 1 here too. I actually have a female character that is all buffed up and stronger than some of my male characters, but her body unfortunately doesn't show that. She's on an EID body and she always has layers and layers of clothes to make her appear bigger, but as soon as you undress her you see how slim and smooth she is. However, it's too late now anyway. Can't really re-shell her, so I have to accept that I'll never get my buff sniper :C
1! It would be great to have a female doll who was muscular. I tend to enjoy dolls that are more on the realistic side. Having more diversity in the body types of female dolls is always a good thing!
Definitely category 1. By like 100 %. I would love a big beefy strong female doll. I have a very precious OC who is an Orc and I would love to shell her out into a doll. This body would be perfect for her. Like my dream muscle female sculpt. Its the tiny bust, sat ontop of her muscles.
2. Yes, I have future plans for a girl like that. I'm currently in the process of looking for a body that would fit one of my characters, though I won't be able to buy for a few months. I'd like her to be around the 60-65 cm range as she's short (most of my dolls are 70cm+), and she has to be strong. She's a warrior/mage protector, so a little muscle wouldn't hurt. I guess I'm a little flexible on the height because I haven't written that book yet, but she can't be too far off from my other dolls. I was thinking about taking male arms/legs and sticking them on a female body, but I have a feeling I'd have difficulty finding arms that would fit in the shoulder sockets
I think this new body by Fantasia is also quite muscular and toned: New Doll - FANTASIA has released new bodies "Elder Woman"
Agreed, she's gorgeous!! I love it! I'd still like another with just a bit more muscle and ab definition. But I would not kick this one out of bed for eating crackers!! I want one!
