Sooo I haven't posted here in a while (and my profile is sorely out of date), but this is a special occassion for me so why not! I also have not seen many owner pictures of this doll at all which made me want to share it even more. When I got back into the hobby after 10 years in 2024, I shifted my focus to MSD scale (or well, fantasy dolls between 40-52cm) and have really been enjoying it. But at the same time I always had the idea of one more SD+ to play the role of a deity in my world...that's when I found out about the NPC Studio Baphomet. He ticks all the boxes I want - fantasy resin color, fantasy legs and most notably beefy with a chest and thick thighs. Most fantasy dolls are slimmer and I wanted a real hunk if I did get a doll so big. So when I saw him secondhand on Xianyu, in black resin, with fantasy feet...I knew I had to go for it. Even if I was unsure because he's not just tall he is SUPER TALL at 84cm. He came in one very tall box! Instead of a box, he comes in this backpack which I found really cool. He is HEAVY so this is useful! Well protected and VERY BIG. I was honestly stunned even though I knew he would be huge! The human head is beautiful, but I fell in love with DZ Sylvan and will try hybrid it. I do have the animal head as well but forgot to take pictures in my excitement (and will not be using it). If someone wants to see it badly I can add later maybe ;U; YESS the wig fits as well! He is beautiful... Bonus: Next to my Dream Valley Robin (around 52cm tall) and Dollzone Chun (forget but around 45cm??). Bonus 2: with a human (me). x'D He is half as tall as me. And thats it! My plan is to give him the DZ Sylvan head if I can make it fit and paint some white patterns on him. So it will be a while until he is complete! Finding clothes for his measurements will also be a challenge so I plan to sew some eventually as well. Thanks for looking o7
Holy crap those thighs can crush melons. Congrats on your dream doll! He is insane looking. He fits right in with your other dolls. Hehe.
@sugarcactus Thank you so much!! He is heavy to boot..but that's okay, he's not a doll to bring outside and he at least brought his own backpack if I feel courageous hahaha. I do think he will fit right in ;U; But maybe he needs one equal one day that's not as ridiculously tall but also not a dwarf..ah we will see!
Hahaha. I FEEL YOU! Even with my shorter fantasy girl from Fairyland, I am legit never bringing her out unless I REALLY feel courageous. She's just so bulky and unwieldy. She is probably half your boy's size too! lol
@sugarcactus Yea I can imagine xD the smaller dolls are definitely more take out friendly.. @dharmaniac right?? ;U; Thank you so much! @quilleth Me too! It's very well done, one of the best faun legs I have seen yet ,,
That's no thigh, that's a haunch!! He's breathtaking. Those legs really steal the show. I hope your plans for hybriding him aren't stymied, he's going to be an exciting project, I'm sure!
@hollyholly right?! he's amazing. His size still takes me off guard it definitely will take some getting used to xD And I am cautiously optimistic about the hybrid! His neck is around 13.5cm, and yet my one big head I have (of a 72cm doll) with a 11.5cm neck hole can perch without adjustments. So the sylvan head which is made for a 12.8cm neck should be better than that even - and worst case I will sand a couple milimeters off around ;U; That said I dont mind the head he has it's just that I am not sure I can do well on a faceup with black resin like this ,, Thank you!!
He's so cool, congratulations! I hope you also share your hybrid if it works out, I think that head will look so good on him! His legs are so well designed, and he's such a lovely color.
@solarmiracle Thank you! Will do when I get to it. The head is ordered but DZ seems to be super slow these days so I am just hoping sometime this year...
Because I wanted to see how my oldest and until now only SD boy (Crobidoll Yeonho, around 59cm) looks next to him - another size comparison. I think a 68cm doll would make a great petite partner for him...just below his shoulders. (Lord help me I have plans already)
Wow, he is absolutely massive! You weren't kidding about him being a beefy boy! Baphomet is normally portrayed as having breasts so it's especially delightful that they gave him such a shapely chest.
@sageyufi Thanks a lot! I agree he is amazing jhdfjdfh ;U; The fantasy legs are what i love most too! @werepope HE IS, it's glorious lol. I really like that they did that too!
Admiring him again and I have to say, in this picture it looked for just a moment like he had a pair of pink reading glasses perched on his head. In person, how do you like the consistency of the color in the black resin? Is he going to need any tending to with scuffs or scratches that might go unnoticed on a lighter resin? I have been considering dyeing a doll jet black -- partially because it's supposed to be easy to achieve for a first time dyeing -- and I am curious how you feel about the surface.
@werepope djfdhjf it does! Sadly just my washi tape for horn magnets hahaha He's my only doll in black resin, so I don't really have anything to compare to. But I personally haven't noticed anything so major I would want to work on it. It looks very even and well done to me. I will say that I tend to not be very bothered by scuffs or scratches in general though so maybe that is why I don't notice it much xD I mean you can around the thigh joints that there's a bit of scratchyness going on but that's the worst I see of it
Oh what a gorgeous doll! and yes I love DZ Sylvan's head too, I think that would be a fantastic hybrid. I love his legs and horns.
