3. Not right now, but maybe some day. Speaking of muscular ladies... I'd love to have my MMO character as a BJD. She's a fem roe from FFXIV and she's simply gorgeous. If I was skilled enough I'd try and make her one hahaha... XD
3. Not right now, but maybe some day. Honestly I'd just love to see more variation in body types full stop. (Including and especially a well designed curvy body though I'm aware that this is a widely discussed topic already).
1! I would be 100% over the moon for more muscular ladies. And a variety of muscular ladies, too! I love the look of Iple's HID (her arms look awesome), but she's also the very familiar slim, hourglass shape. I love hourglass ladies, but I would also love to see a Zarya-from-Overwatch lady. I sincerely doubt I'll ever get a doll like that, especially in my favorite MSD size, but I think it would be a dream come true. 8'D
MSD is even harder to find variety for. I wonder if it has to do with height and engineering. No idea. I DO know there will be a 60cm muscular option from Miro soon if that helps!
I'd love a muscular MSD lady for one of my OCs. I'd also really like more semi-realistic chubby ladies and dudes for other OCs, but seeing Impl's new muscular body along with other companies gives me hope for more body diversity in general.
Oh I would be happy with a warrior girl's body! That would be amazing! It would also be great for realism purposes to have a chunky girl around. I think she would sell well to those of us who have different body images.
Option #3 for me - if I had the option, hmmm, that'd be so tempting! I'd love to see athletic female bodies; long, lean, but definitely muscular ladies. I've seen a few concepts for a beefy female sculpt but it seems that they always go to the end of the spectrum and usually minimizes curves and has wide shoulders and narrow hips. This is all good and fine, but I think it would be interesting if I could have a doll with swingin' hips and perky breasts who also has toned biceps, powerful thighs, and clearly defined obliques gosh, the more I think about it, the more I want it! I might have to change my poll to option #1!
4. Not personally, but I think the option should be available to all. If I saw one in the future I would consider it, but at the moment I can't imagine basing any female characters around the body type. I'm a very firm believer that all/most body types should be available to anyone who wants it
I'm definitely a #1, in fact, I've already purchased the Impldoll body I've been waiting YEARS for a muscular woman body and I'm really excited. I hope my girl arrives soon and I'd definitely will love it if more companies make bodies like that!!! strong women rulz!
3. Not right now, but maybe some day. I don't have any plans for any female dolls right now but if I did want one, I'd be much more likely to buy a more muscular or toned girl than a more petit looking one
I posted a question about this before, I love muscular girls. To me it seems kind of silly that a lot of boy dolls have really realstic muscles and details, but girls are just so soft and simple! It's great to see so many people agree.
Would you buy a muscular female doll body? My response is: "1. Yes, I want one. I need her now. Gimme. Please and thank you." I actually already have one muscled girl "Eurydice." (I've been using stand ins of Greek mythological figures for my characters until I determine full names, so her project thread is named this.) I've been calling her Arial, like the font, as she's inspired a bit by Belisa Crepusculario, a character for whom writing and reading is very important to her story. Arial is a SimplyDivine/Stinesculpture Harlequin on a Legend Doll 70cm boy body modded to female. Although I loved the modding process for my Arial, I'd really enjoy being able to buy a female body already muscular in the first place! I'm in the process of putting another muscled girl together, but her parts haven't arrived yet. In this case, it's a female muscle body, so I won't have that type of modding ahead of me. However, I kind of think the next call to action for these female muscle bodies should be poseability. Why buy a body for an obviously active character (how else do you get muscles?) without mobility joints? I have plans for a future girl on the Impldoll muscle body, but it'll be a shame if I have to mod the doll and lose height in adding a hip and thigh mobility joints (assuming they pull through with the arm mobility joints which aren't currently an option on the website).
I would absolutely buy a muscular female doll, under the right conditions. The only "muscular" female dolls I've seen are basically standard bodies with abs, and usually large busts to "balance out" the abs. Same thighs, same biceps, same freaking chests as their non-muscley counterparts. Frankly, those kinds of dolls look ridiculous to me (especially the washboard abs and zero pecs combination oh my god) and I'm not here for that life. I want a muscular female doll with bulky shoulders and traps. I want her with biceps that are defined enough to show veins and forearms which prove she wrestles bears for fun. I want thighs that could kill a man, and hands to match. I want bust options that include "flat chested" AND "maternal" and I want actual pectoral muscles. I want defined intercostals. I want broad hips with cut lines on them; and in Ideal Land there'd be an option for narrow hips too, because not all women are pear shaped. I want a doll that looks like the women I know, the women my spouse works in the shop with, but with the same "power fantasy exaggeration" that male dolls get. I don't want the only visible muscles to be her abs because anything else would detract from her femininity or make her look too butch. I really, really want a muscular female doll who isn't designed to appeal to straight-dude visions of "fit women."
Understood and agreed! I like both, personally- I used to draw mainstream comic book and I am rather partial to the super hero look (not the giant kazongas, but that look) and I also like the more realistic look. For that one, you may want to look at Boypink's 60cm gal who is more bulky and looks very weight lifter-esque rather than super hero super model. As for the rest, I am hoping in time to get that variety too, and not just bot bodies modded to a female (though I will be trying that with the Idol boys- that 3rd gen body looks like a good one to try). All in good time... though I hate to wait. *L* Thanks for your voice! Stuff like this proves to the sculptors and casters out there that there IS a market for it.
Yes, just so much yes! This is the kinda girl I'm looking for. Personally I'd like smaller breasts, but that body shape is just perfect! I love all the currently and 'soon' to be available dolls but I do want there to be a few more options for ones that aren't all super girly/feminine body shape with muscles. I want some more truly muscular girls like this too. How can we convince him? I need this in my life! lol
Yes, I have future plans for a girl like that. I've been wanting one for a long time in a green resin For a fantasy character I designed some years back. It would be nice to see her come to life one day.
Well... if there is enough interest in that super buff girl of Rainman... maybe we can petition him. Let him know we want one! See what happens.
I'd be between 2 & 3 I think. I'd love a female bjd with some nice muscles. I actually saw someone with a minifee boy-to-girl mod where they made some subtle changes on the six pack to make it more feminine and stuff and it looked really, really nice. I have a lot of fantasy characters so being able to have a fighter chick with nice muscles would be awesome!
There seems to be a decent market for MSD sized... I always forget about them as I do SD and bigger. Hmmm. We'll have to look into that too.
4- I personally prefer to have more leaner and smooth dolls, both for male and female. I'm a sucker for cute MSDs
I'm definitely in the camp of wanting a muscular female body for the near future. Although I'm intimidated by the size of 70cm dolls in general, I'd like to see a female body that can hold her own with the more muscular looks. Maybe I'd go for the MSD sizes first, just to appreciate the differences.
Oh dear, @applemelon and @A Wee Tiefling. Now I'd like to see a muscular MSD female to go with my Dollshe Fashion sized Grant Philippe. I plan to paint him like he's carved in marble (clay hair and either clay or extremely starched fabric clothing) and it'd be lovely to have an equally muscled female statue...
@americanseamstress That sounds amazing! A Karyatid maiden to go with some Herculean edifice. (For my part, I have two characters I could shell, but I'm trying to budget it all in)
Forgive me if anyone has linked this before, but there's an artist doing a lovely, really and truly "female body builder" type muscular girl doll body over on tumblr. Psiiconic BJD — b-yp-nk: to show I’m not dead, have some Jasper... That's one of their male heads on the female body. They'll be selling the body by itself. I don't buy SD bodies but I am so tempted for this. I would absolutely LOVE to have an MSD sized muscular lady like this! I love muscles on the ladies and I think it's such a breath of fresh air in a hobby where it tends to be all about the willowy and the elegant for almost every doll, regardless of gender, but the female dolls are hit disproportionately hard by this standard. There have been muscular male dolls, feminine male dolls, willowy ones, skinny ones, lean and short and tall ones. The female dolls tend to be a little more uniform, just the breast and hip size changes. I'd like to see some more variation in female bodies.
I have linked to BoyPink, yes, but another link is always welcome! And it was a different site than I used, but I spoke to the creator ahead of time to make sure it was OK first. I am happy to have this one up too! Miro Doll will be releasing their muscular girl version soon as well. Probably in the next few months. It's a wholly original 2-part torso that uses the Miro lean boy limbs for her own, so she'll be 62cm as well as 67cm tall or thereabouts, which leaves the MSD crowd still in the dust. We'll have to work on that!
Boypink's sculpt is so wonderful, it really makes me wish I could handle having SD size dolls around! I can barely deal with MSD though. I've never seen Miro Doll's offering before, do you happen to have pictures or progress photos or something? I would absolutely love to see! So I can stare at all the lovely sculpts I can't have...
Yeah BoyPinks one is what I'd love to see more of. It's the sort of shape I'm looking for for one of my girls, it's glorious. Although of course I do love the ones we have already too. I'm still super in love with the Impldoll one, but I do wish it wasn't so narrow waisted and hippy and had more of the sort of shape like the BoyPink one. XD I don't think I've seen the Miro one yet. I checked back and couldn't see it or anything and I can't remember having seen it elsewhere, I'm curious, could I receive some pics of it too? I'd love to see more. I want all the muscular girls! XD
To anyone who wanted to know about a chubby female doll, I recently found a bjd Artist BJD, Ball jointed doll: Claudette, the curvaceous doll. She isn't that popular but I haven't seen so much variation body type wise so I thought people might want to know about her. The artist doesn't seem all that popular either since its not a huge body type demand
I don't think this girl's been posted, and she's not quite muscled, but I saw a new photoset of her today and I thought I should link here here. I think Helga Reinhard of Ancient Tales is working on a female body with some abs. I think the body's SD sized, with several different faces, but all her dolls are shown in the same album, so it's hard to tell. Here is the torso without blushing And here is her newest photoset
I'm definitely 1. My desire for a muscular MSD girl knows few bounds. I'd probably have like, five to be entirely honest. Bless all of you for the links and pictures, may we all (all of us who want one) find the perfect muscular female doll in our size range and price range.
Thank you both very much! She was fun to make. I wanted a female doll with those arm and shoulder muscles, and the extra-fit physique that FL gave their A-Line Muscle boys. I am also hoping for someday an SD sized girl with some softness and solid bulky muscle, like THICK thighs. Someone who looks like a weightlifter or a wrestler, not a bodybuilder.
I would suggest the boypink SD girl for you then, @Rosslyn. I wonder if FL would be willing to cast your mod (If you'd be willing to do that) for an MSD muscle girl.
Ive seen glimpses of that one on tumblr! It looks exciting. As to if FL would mold my mod as a regular doll they could sell- Heh, I wish! Then I could get her breasts to match her resin better. I don't think a company like them would do something like that, but maybe someday I'll dare to ask. I sure wouldn't charge them much- just a small fee and the chance to have one of the first casted bodies.
Alert! Be on the look out for a new Miro Doll muscle girl in the next couple of weeks. I'll post a link when she's officially listed. *Squee*
Me too! While one bust size will be available immediately, I am hoping for both bigger and smaller options soon.
3. Not right now, but maybe some day. But at the same time I want a buff, genuinely athletic female bod - there are so many types of athletic females so that could mean a lot, but like a Serena Williams? That would be *incredible*
4. I personally do not want a female doll with muscles but I think the option should be there for those that do.
