MYou tinies discussion - Part 2

Yes, they will. I've been wanting to 'age' her porcelain babies into toddlers, but didn't want to start with the normal resin ones only to switch them for the new ones at some point. I'm just hoping the coffee colour is as nice as I'm expecting.

 

I’m excited to see them when they’re finished! I really love the coffee resin color.

 

Thank you^^ I might try her with purple hair next And I agree with you, I love the mature tiny size, she is so much easier to manage than my 70cm doll!

 

The coffee DuDu and Feng Linger arrived, and it's a beautiful colour resin. Even so, I've decided to just replace the Fair Daniel (DuDu) with the new coffee one, and keep the original fair Fiona (Feng Linger) since it's more compatible with their parents resin colours. However, I do love the coffee Feng Linger, and will see if any of my other doll families would like to adopt her.

 

So, I was "window shopping" on DDE's "What's New?" part of their website and came across a fullset of Tiny Feng Linger (ns) and fell in love. I ordered her. Curse you Pay in Four! Anyway, I am excited. I have never owned a Myou Doll before.

 

@Dollquest: I'm glad you got her! I saw her, she was tempting at a good price. The tinies are VERY cute.

 

Oh, wow, those dolls do look stunning.

@Dollquest So happy you were able to get the doll!

 

Seeing all your adorable Myou cuties makes ma so eager to get my Doudou! I was wondering whether any of you chose a classic YoSD size body under their big head for the 30cm 1/6. I am wondering whether I made a mistake after all XD I saw some rare pics on Instagram and Doudou in that size looked very cute, though. Thought it was a smart move accessories-wise and posability-wise as well.

 

Daniel (DuDu) with his mom (MSD Naomi, by Sartoria)

 

Ooooooh they look so beautiful together!!! And he's so cute!!! Damn it, you're adding to my doll wishlist, now my SJ/Raccoondoll/FID have one kid (Raccoondoll Girl) I want to add to the family with dolls in different sizes and ages - and the Myou here actually looks in scale with the head size which I haven't had much luck with in the past! Hmm, and Alice's collection is having a sale with Myou where not only are the dolls cheaper, you also get a free doll head in the same size. Tempting!!! Oh why do all the doll companies always have sales at the same time?!

 

Tell me about it XD I unfortunately discovered that Gem of Doll has a sale going on, too, and that Beth looks lovely XD! But my boyfriend gifted me a MYOU body already and I have to be good and remind myself that those are NOT playline dolls XD. One thing you could do to get the best advantage for this sale, if you are not like me and you want your dolls blank, is to get the body of your doll of choice and then select the head you want for it as the gift one XD. I would have done that, but I have another gift head in need of a body, so... XD

 

Further on the free gift head...

Would anyone be willing to take pictures of one of the 1/8 heads on a YoSD body?

I'm wondering if a hybrid with one of the 1/8 heads (Dudu, Feng Linger, etc) and a slim YoSD (eg Resinsoul) body would work, to make a taller doll! Would anyone who owns one of those dolls be willing to take pictures? On any Yosd body would be fine, even if it doesn't fit, I just want to see the proportions!!!

 

All the 1/8 heads are not the same size. I didn't realize that when I chose the free heads when I ordered my FengLinger and DuDu. I never checked the measurements and just assumed they were all the same size. So I chose RouRou and Nuannuan as my free heads, and was surprised when they arrived that they were considerably bigger than Feng Linger and DuDu. Unfortunately I don't care for the 'bobble-headed' look, so they proved to be a total waste as far as I'm concerned. Live and learn, as they say.

 

I don’t like the bobble head look either. I have wondered if they increased the size to make it easier to find wigs.

 

Thanks. I'd been looking for toddler age babies for my SJ/FID parents, and think Fenglinger and DuDu work great. They may not be the same, totally realistic aesthetic like their parents, but I'm willing to overlook that.

 

@MB Lilac Great picture and wonderful costumes as usual! I just have one problem! My Fenglinger wants me to make her a dress like that!

 

Thanks. It's just that Baron's Victorian outfit is not the same period as everyone else since he was heading off on an errand, but I wanted to see how they all looked together.

I spent all of January and February making Daniel (DuDu) and Fiona (Fenglinger) complete wardrobes. It takes almost as long to make such tiny clothes as it does to make the bigger MSD ones. Well, not Daniel's. I just made him some stretch 'denim' tights in order to reduce the bulk of making fabric pants and socks, and I made some long sleeve T-shirts to go under his tunics. Those went pretty quick. Fiona's three gowns were another story. And since I decided to keep both Fenglingers, I'll need to make more gowns, enough for the two of them to share.

 

They both look so gorgeous!!! And I love the dresses too - I can see sewing on this scale will be a challenge!!! Your work is always so inspiring, they both look so amazing here!

That's good to know about the different sized heads too - I also don't want the bobble headed look!!! I was thinking of getting a Dudu, since I can see from your pictures he matches well, and I think looks most in scale with the bigger dolls (as compared to the other 1/8 more bobble headed ones!). I was also thinking of just getting Dudu as the free head, since I like that sculpt best - and then if it worked on a taller body I could have two kids with different ages? I suppose I could get it anyway, I do have YoSD bodies of my own to try after all, and could just get another Myou body later if it doesn't work, and have twins (or two mysteriously identical kids from different families) - but if anyone DOES have a YoSD body they can try, I'd still love to see pictures!

I really shouldn't be buying more doll now, and would wait except for this free head event - they don't sell heads separately the rest of the time, right?

 

I think a DuDu head would be way too small for a YoSD body. The only dolls that size I have are Iplehouse BIDs and some Kaye Wiggs tinies, and his head would be way too small for either of those. I do have a photo of my second FengLinger (Lizbet) with her Mom and bigger sister, who is an IH BID. Lizbet has the exact same size head as DuDu, and you can see it would be way too small....

 

Ahhh I see, you’re right, that wouldn’t work at all! Thank you so much for that, it’s hard to picture without seeing it - but this makes it clear. Oh well, it was a thought! And I could still get Dudu on the original body of course… now to decide whether to do it now to get that free head or wait and stop spending so much money!

EDIT: I am weak willed and couldn't resist: I got Dudu with the extra head while he was on sale! And when I asked Alice's Collections, they were happy for me to pay for a face-up for the extra Dudu head as well, so now I don't need to worry about face-ups when they arrive! I will need to get the extra body at some point, but that can wait. No idea where I'll get nice wigs that aren't too boofy, either. But looking forward to sewing some cute clothes when he/they arrive! Thanks so much everyone for your advice and help!!!

 

The costuming on these adorable baby MYou is just beyond insanely jaw-droppingly-stunning. I don't have any adorable baby MYou to share myself, but I don't want to double post on the mature tiny thread. DX (I know this is a thread for discussing all tiny MYou regardless of proportions, but there's probably a need to have one for the mature ones alone. Just to have a more concise way to look/search for particular MYou tinies)


I finally made an accurate outfit for my Ken Kaneki (Tokyou Ghoul) fanart doll. I shared some photos over at the gallery side of the forum -- very repetitive shots, because I have trouble getting my Betina male to stand, let alone pose at all. I might need to wire him soon. I also attempted to make his mask, but I am not anywhere near happy with it as it looks now. I want at least his mask to be semi decent, if I can't do anything else that looks proper for him. Shoes is another reason why I wanted to make this character outfit for him first; he doesn't wear any when he has this outfit on. I am thinking of making his Anteiku uniform, but that'll probably won't turn out nice (I suck at sewing for my larger dolls, it's a miracle anything turns out for this dude, at all!). And maybe I just need to focus on his battle outfit and actually getting those white tiny nylon zippers, I keep forgetting to purchase. n___n;;



Ghoul Mask, it might be a bit terrifying for some. As a fan of horror, nothing scares me much, besides aging, but that's another story for another type of forum. (:

Spoiler: Mask

First Completed Mask, I've made for him. It's not as accurate, and I might have to resort to sculpting it, instead of making it out of fabric, but I wanted to give fabric a try first. I feel his is supposed to be made out of molded rubber or latex. However, there's no way in heck I can do something like that, so I tried a few different fabrics including PVC. All failed, and this one made out of lycra is the only one that kind of "made it" to prototype phase. I haven't even sewn a snap on it, because I really don't feel like it is what it needs to be. DX

 

I saw you photos on tumblr a while ago, he looks awesome! I had my eyes on the mature tinies for some time but after seeing your Ken Kaneki doll I'm feeling super inspired to actually get one hehe

I think he turned out really well

 

@Enzyme He looks fantastic!

 

cocoasnail, I always loved MYou facial sculpts, but I am not interested in the baby faced larger dolls. So, when I saw they were making "mature" tinies, I knew I would have to get one eventually. He is my first and only humanoid tiny BJD, so I can't say how they compare to other BJD of similar sizes. However, I love mine, even if his proportions are not my ideal, and sewing for him is a pain and a half. I would purchase him again just the same, if I could travel back in time. The body is beautifully sculpted, and the hands are very nicely detailed. (:

werepuppy, thank you very much, for your kind comments. n___n

 

@Enzyme could you put plastic wrap over their face area and somehow sculpt something with like a thin layer of clay or silicon?

 

jessholy, I have made masks for some of my other dolls that way in the past, out of different types of clay. I didn't want to go that route with this mask, because Kaneki' s mask wraps around his face and neck. I don't believe there are clays out there that would allow me to do that -- that's why I tried fabric first. I might try foam before I commit to clay, although I never heat-formed foam before. Silicone is too expensive and doesn't last long, particularly if its thin, so I'll probably won't try with that. Thank you very much for your suggestions!

 

@Enzyme Ah okay...what about paper mache? Just trying to think of something thin...and I dunno if they sell latex in small enough batches for what you need to make like a whole rubbery mask.

 

jessdholy, I had thought about using paper, but it would probably be fragile. I don't keep my BJD displayed, but naked in their boxes so I need something that will withstand constantly being moved and removed. Thanks again for your suggestions, I literally spent months trying different fabrics to just get a single workiworking proto, that's not good enough. I'll look into latex. (:

 

(Uhm, completely out of context, but I wanted you guys to meet Delphine, my first BJD )

 

juuhachigo, I can't see your photo, but I'm sure your Delphine is beautiful. Congrats on your first BJD. (:


I found some micro minis by Toy Hub at the Dollar Tree. They are all over the place when it comes to scale, but I find most probably work well with tini-sized dolls of any genre. I took some photos of my mature tiny Bettina male for scale purposes, on his hands and next to him. He can't hold all of them; I tried placing the chop sticks on his hands, they kept sliding right off. Lol! Some of these are super tiny, but would probably work as sample sizes, or for even smaller dolls, than MYou mature ones.

He's in a (brand-new-pair-just-for-him) human sock(s) because I keep all my dolls nude inside their boxes, inside my closet. However, his box is a hard carrying case with a zipper, with no cushioning to speak of (most of my other BJD are ancient and came in soft cardstock/board boxes with at least two pillows!). So, I keep him in a sock to prevent his full body blushing to get too beat up while/when I put him back into his case or take him out for customizing/sewing/photo-taking. Pretty sophisticated and high-tech of me, I know. >__<;;;

Spoiler: More photos, in case anyone actually needs more doll in a human sized sock holding tiny miniatures for no reason...

I wanted to share these on the general mature tiny dolls' thread, as it probably helps more people that way (at least people who can get to a Dollar Tree and actually find these, which I know can be an ordeal for some!). However, that thread is locked right now, because I guess some people have a hard time reading the rules, and who knows when that'll be unlocked again. Finding branded stuff at the DT can be an ordeal as I said, and some stuff can never be found, so I thought I should share now, while some people might still be able to find these there. I know DT have a few other different branded food miniatures as well, but I have never found any of them sadly. So, I was super excited when I saw these three bags left there. Sadly, for me, I got two sets of the same exact items. I also got the loose ones, as someone greedy stole the rest of them -- each bag comes with eight micro minis, but if you get a set that is a duplicate all of them are the exact same items.

 

Socks ARE always helpful - you actually gave me an idea here! Your boy and the miniatures are the prettiest thing!!! Also I don't know why I can't post imgur links

 

juuhachigo, thank you! Some images are too large to display on this forum, so you have to choose a thumbnail size, if you're going with Imgur. Most imgur links are broken at some point regardless. They also move photos around willy-nilly, which really sucks when you have so many on there. Try adding different thumbnail sizes for the links you use here, some of them might work. I can't recall which size is the limit for larger images to display correctly. Hope that helps! (:

 

oh, thanks, that worked!

Spoiler: Some pics of her under here, then!

This is the most recent set of clothes I made here and I'm insanely proud of it, along with a summer dress in the same fabric. I decided her default hair colour will be red, and I am switching between this loose Aliexpress hair and...

This Fjusuns one, whch might be my favourite, though I should try a way to keep it in better shape and restore that side curl. I loved the style of her original wig, but that colour in real life made her look a little dead XD. Her original eyes were SO cool, but these geen one I think really take the cake. It's so nice to see her character take form.

Now I just need to figure out if I want her tan twin sister or her 1/4 version XD

 

Juuhachigo, I'm glad that worked for you, your Delphine is adorable, as expected!


I had to mod my Bettina's eye again, so I thought I would spam him everywhere! I shared a ton more photos on the main gallery, if anyone wants to see more crappy repetitive close ups of his face. I just made his eyes smaller again, but I had to redo the mods, because the other material I thought was a lucky find, wasn't permanent, sadly.

 

Oh god, you do not realise the full potential of BJDs until you see other people's dolls, he's BEAUTIFUL

 

Happy Autumn
Vieruodis

 

She's so lovely!

 

A lovely picture of Delphine (MYOU Doudou 1/6) finally spending some time with Frankie, her older sister (1/6 MYOU Delia), who finally has a body

Spoiler: Under here because I don't know how big the thumbnail is X°D

This is my very first time snapping a decent picture, even!

 

Great picture of the sisters. I love their dresses! May I ask where you got them?

 

The clothing designer is Dollsolo, on TaoBao!

 

Love the sisters and the delicate lace on their dresses. Great photo with endearing poses.

 

Thank you

 

My Bettina Daffodil enjoying the spring weather and flowers. She’s my only fullset doll but it’s really nice to have a doll with a set idea rather than creating new ideas all the time. I’m hoping to make her some outfits in the future that work more with her namesake flower but for now she looks adorable in pink and when I saw the diosma was flowering I knew it would be the perfect backdrop for her.

 

@Feathered Shadows Oh she looks utterly stunning!

 

She looks lovely. It always feels good when a doll is fully dressed head to toe!

 

Aww what a perfect shot, she's a beautiful flower fairy!

 

Freya intercepted one of the elves - they hope everyone had a Merry Christmas *ho ho ho*

 

@Saba Such a cute pic!

 

Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing this! I've been eyeing Bettina ever since I discovered Myou sold mature tinies. She looks beautiful!

 

Daniel and Fiona, my two little Myou twins...

 

Adorable! I love their outfits!

 

Thanks. They are tiny, simpler versions of their parents outfits.

 

Guys, does anybody know whether you can ask MYOU to redo a chipped faceup? I am sending my Doudou to be repaired by a faceup artist (sealant chip) but I would like to know if this is a possibility

 

Got a Cutie Reveal Care Bear Barbie recently. Since it's been pretty cold here I put it on Calia, my Gina.

 

Cute! That should keep her warm!

 

@Koma Calia looks adorable

 

Dropping by now to give a quick Happy Valentines since I won't be home~

 

I have a little Tangtang, does anyone have thoughts on where to buy fitting wigs? I live in the EU so some places unfortunately don't ship here.

 

Jusuns on aliexpress look for 1/8 or 5-6 inch wigs. Generally “ob11” wigs fit 1/8 dolls too so that is another search that might help you find something. There are other shops on aliexpress that sell wigs but there is a chance they will not look like the photos.

You could also try Fleurdelysdoll, they are in EU. I think she resells quite a bit but it may be more convenient for you since it is within EU.

There’s fatio on Etsy too, they are in Taiwan but usually ship pretty quick for me.

I like for my doll wigs sometimes and they have a website but I have never ordered directly from them. I’m sure they ship worldwide.

I’m in the US so I have other resources for wigs that may not be suitable for your location.

 

A Daiso recently opened near us, we went to check it out. While there I grab some of the doll clothes they sell. The kimono I got didn't fit her, but this sweater fits okay-ish.
