OasisDoll Discussion Thread Part 2

My Oasisdoll TianQing and ZiLan arrived yesterday!! They'll be blank for awhile due to the world. But, I'm thinking of having one artist for the regular heads, and a different artist for the holiday special sleeping heads...

@Chobittum It really is probably a week from arriving for you then...Mine shipped on March 31. No updates since April 1, till suddenly it did...on May 8...and they were out for delivery .

 

Congrats @marci12!!!!
I have Tian Qing waiting for a Loongsoul body hopefully coming in a month (my Loongsoul body with larger neck ordered the month before is now in Hong Kong moving fast with DHL, but I digress). I haven't done a faceup yet in case I need to adjust the neck hole (I can sand safely while submerged in water If I haven't done the faceup) or decide on a different body. Just another thing to wait for!

What body will you use?

 

@Mahgiep Thanks!!! I opened him so late, I haven't looked at what bodies I have that I might like on him . I'll still have to see on that front. Congrats on almost having your body! Hope he works out .

 

Legend asked me if I wanted to upgrade shipping on a little doll to DHL as EMS is taking 1 to 2 months.

 

I'd ask if they could ship via SFEXPRESS. Think it's cheaper than DHL. Faithz sends my stuff via SFEXPRESS and I've never had problems with them.

 

Alice ships DHL for no extra $.
SartoriaJ only uses EMS. But has been getting stuff from South Korea to the US in 10 days on the average in April. I finally caved and had them send a massive order (on faith.)
I've had good luck with SFExpress in the past but not recently.
I also heard TNT (Fedex) is relatively fast.

 

I hope everyone gets their boys home safely!

I took this photo of Leila earlier today:

 

@mustbemissa Oh wow, I love her look and style. I really like this companies sculpts! I'd love to get some of their girl sculpts in the future .

 

Great posing! Great attitude!

 

Thank you, @marci12 & @Mahgiep!! Sarina's girls are gorgeous! I want to pick up a few more of them.

 

it's a pity to hear (( My boys arrived to my Chinese address, stayed there for a few weeks, then I've sent them to the make up artist (she's in Ukraine) and they're in progress already. But I used the other company, not EMS.
Seems like EMS is not working here yet, only EMS Premium (which is more expensive) in some Asian countries

 

I recently managed to acquire all four of the Oasisdoll boys, so I'm wondering what bodies people are planning to get!


what sets your soul on fire by rainwaltz, on Flickr

I snuck my Tianqing onto a SD17 body and damn, I like him on it! Why must it be so hard to find non-overly-muscular 65cm bodies??? D:

@marci12 You should take comparison pics of all four of them blank! I'll love to see that cos my TQ came with a faceup I can't bear to wipe.

 

@rainwaltz Congrats on getting all 4 . I have some pics of the blank heads in the box opening section here: /threads/pic-heavy-oasisdoll-tianqing-and-zilan.822373/

I'll take some more with all the heads side-by-side .

 

My girls finally arrived!! I am very happy to see them, I was afraid I'd never see them and they'd stay a dream. Now I just have to decide what sort of body to get them.... the match for Volks and Fairyland isn't too bad, but I wonder whether it would be worth waiting for the company to re-open orders for their bodies.

 

@Chobittum, let me know if you need any photos! I have the following bodies: Oasisdoll ItGirl, Sadol Love60 & Honey63, Switch 57cm, and Volks SDGr. I think my Natalie heads work reasonably well on all of them.

I got my second Natalie painted, and she's finally home! This is Gwen:

I need to do a proper photoshoot of her soon.

 

@mustbemissa Oh, she looks great . The green eyes are really working with her!

 

Thank you, I appreciate that! Tried Linglan on one of my SDGr bodies, it's a pretty good match actually. Gwen is looking spectacular, is that an Angel Toast face-up?

 

My Alejandro got their permanent body and a name! Meet Alexandrite. They're on a Switch HD65 Attractive body and it's a perfect match IMO.

 

Thank you, @marci12 & @Chobittum! Good eye - she just got back from Angel Toast.

@Astro, your Alejandro is gorgeous! I love the Switch 65cm bodies.

 

Thank you! The HD65 body is so nice! I think if I take Alex out of their heels they'd be able to stand on one foot unassisted because the engineering is so solid.
Echoing the woes of trying to find a slimmer 65cm body. I settled on the Switch body because my requirements were

- available
- decent resin match
- poses well/good engineering
- competent sculpting/proportions
- less muscular​

and I could only pick one that matched the first 4 qualities because everything that was less muscular completely struck out on my other requirements, lol. The abs on the body aren't as bad as they could be though! I've thought about sanding them down a bit, but for now I'm going to leave the it as-is. I really like the hand options that are sometimes available from Switch as well. I have a pair of Siestas on the body and they're incredibly expressive. FWIW Alejandro was sculpted to fit on an SD17 body. Are the new boys meant to as well? I keep looking at Zilan.
I think even slim 60cm boy bodies are really hard to find these days too? I've been looking and am really grateful that Switch is releasing one my options are up to a whopping 3 bodies.

 

Hey everyone who has a ZiLan. I have a question. I recently bought a ZiLan head on IG and the person who sent it to me sent it in a VOLKS box. There is no COA and they haven't been on IG lately and haven't responded to my messages because of that. There is carving in the head and inside the head back. How can I be sure it's legit?

 

@CarmieSandiego This is their blog: PreOrder:TianQing&ZiLan1/3BoyHeads_oasisdoll_新浪博客

It shows what the inside of the head looks like. There should also be a date and time around the rim if the head is from the second release.

 

Wow! It's the exact marking and I never even noticed the date on rim. Guess I'm not very observant. Is there no COAs with these heads or does the date act as one?

 

@CarmieSandiego They came with COAs . Here's my box opening for them:

/threads/pic-heavy-oasisdoll-tianqing-and-zilan.822373/

 

Totally new to this list but thanks to some help from a pair of very good friends, my wife and I recently acquired Zilan and Tianqing (OE + dreaming). It’s been a long process but it’s pretty much kept us sane during the pandemic. I finally managed to get my Wei Wuxian put together (doll + robes) and am really excited about it. I wanted to say hello and that Oasisdolls are incredibly beautiful. I am so glad I found them. I look forward to seeing everyone’s pictures!

 

@sephyelysian He looks AMAZING!!! Congrats on getting him put together to your liking in these crazy times. And welcome to this list . I just got face-ups for my OE heads, and am still waiting for their bodies to ship and outfits. I'm going to keep my guys in casual and dressy wear--and maybe in The Untamed outfits later.

 

Aaaaaah! They look fantastic. I love your Tianqing’s hair! Their face ups are so beautiful though! Very much worth the wait.

I started searching for these heads in March? And then they arrived to me in May and June. The SDF65 body for Wei Wuxian arrived in June. Then I was waiting on their clothing after that because shipping from China for Taobao has slowed significantly (unsurprisingly). The robes finally arrived last week. And there’s another set in the mail (because I had to buy the Sunshot Campaign outfit) I admit, I went a little nutty and bought modern clothes as well because like you, I want to go back and forth even if it’s just my modern interpretation of Wei Wuxian.

In one sense, the waiting has been good because I keep thinking of new things I would like to plan for instead of focusing on how anxious things feel these days but on the other hand...waiting is always torture.

Anyway, thank you for the welcome. Your boys really are beautiful! I can’t wait to see more of them and I hope their bodies arrive soon.

 

Update: mod team said he's legit!

 

I know you already got your answer, but I also came by to say that as far as I know from weibo/xianyu/taobao, these boys haven't been recasted. Hope that's helpful!

@sephyelysian and @marci12 YOU KNOW I LOVE YOUR BOYS. I gush over them enough on Insta. Hahaha.

 

Kind of a long shot but does anyone know where I might be able to find/where I should search for the Zilan and Tianqing (both OE) heads? I don’t have much experience at all purchasing secondhand/aftermarket but I really, really want them I’m so sad that I’ve only recently learned of their existence and missed the preorder period TT

 

Honestly, I think the only chance is Weibo. I've almost never seen them on instagram or Facebook or any other western platform.

 

Just some Natalie spam!

 

@mustbemissa Wow, what a great pic! She's gorgeous, thanks for posting

 

Has Oasisdoll gone out of business? I cannot find them on BJD Collectasy. Please help?

 

@Tangier No, they're a small, like 2-person or so business. You can contact them here or on FB that I know of. Look for the group called OasisDoll on FB. Sarina W. (or killbill on DoA) posts info on preorder openings occasionally.

 

I also took a million years to get my Alejandro painted and assembled. But now he's done and only waiting on some eyes!


Sverre is a bit of a chameleon, but right now it's vintage babydoll dresses because the 90's are back. *shrug*

 

Alejandro is such a gorgeous sculpt! Sverre looks amazing.

I think I’m going to add Naomi to my collection. I’ve fallen in love with her nose, and she’s got fairly unique features. Plus, I need more girls!

 

@mustbemissa Naomi is so lovely!
Zilan is on my Maybe Someday if the Stars Align list. I get that recasts have really discouraged artists who can also work in porcelain from doing much in resin anymore, but everything Sarina makes is so beautifully detailed. I wish she'd rerelease some of the boys!

 

It’s true! Sarina’s work is definitely some of my favorite in the hobby, and I was so excited to see that she had a new release with the boys. Though I suppose 2019 isn’t so new anymore… I just think she hits a lovely sweet spot between detailed and stylistic that is sometimes hard to come across these days.

​

 

That's exactly it.

 

I’m also thinking about adding a Naomi to my crew! I think she’ll be the perfect replacement for my SUPIA Nael ^^ I also just sent my Jessie out for new faceups from Komorebidolls, so I’ve got Oasisdoll on my mind lol. Would love to see some new girls, or boys!

 

Sorry for a potentially ignorant question but I cannot figure out how to order an Oasis Doll. There doesn't appear to be a proper ordering website. Can anyone help?

 

Sure thing! Twiggy (killbill here on DOA) is their rep and accepts orders via email: [email protected]. I just ordered a Naomi head in December.

 

Thank you for the replies about my ordering query. Are you able to order any dolls at any time or are there dolls available only at certain times?

 

I know they had some stock, but I think there's an occasional ordering period like with the boys she produced in 2019. Twiggy might have more insight, tbh, though I know they have an official dealer on Taobao (Greentime) as well.

 

Time for another shot of Sverre, since he's switched things up a bit.

 

@St. James, Sverre looks fabulous! That color is divine on him.

I haven’t posted in awhile but how can I not be inspired to share my boy now? Xia got new clothes of his own recently and this is definitely a different look for him.

​

I would really love to see another round of boys from Sarina. Her sculpting style is so wonderful.

 

Can’t believe I missed these updates! Everyone looks so lovely.

I’d love to see more sculpts from Sarina, too- boy or girl! I feel like her dolls are always so wonderfully versatile. I think I’m up to three now. Anyway! I was excited to share my latest:

 

Just some drive-by spam. I posted this to my IG a while ago and forgot to post here!
