Pygmalion Dolls

Apr 9, 2016

    1. Has anyone heard of Pygmalion Dolls, and/or purchased from them?

      I just happened across the artist on instagram, was really impressed and to my surprise found that they've released four heads and a 70cm male body already, and seem to be working on a fifth head, and I've never even seen or heard of any of them up until now. Really gorgeous work! I'm half in love with their Robin, and tempted to join in on their next order period for a head. As far as I can tell, although everything says sold out they are not limited but you have to wait for the order periods to open and they do sell overseas.

    2. Oh yes, I have a Pygmalion Ha head here! I love the quality and the insertable teeth ^_^ The resin is lovely too. I can take some photos of him if you like, because there are very few online.

    3. @zoziejane that's awesome! :D I'd love to see photos of your Ha, and I'm sure a lot of other DoA members would be interested too. With sculpts as lovely as that, I feel like this company will gain fans quickly.
       
    4. I just saw someone in the MP selling a head from this company and was like "Why have I not heard of this company before? That sculpt is beautiful!" I'd love to see photos of your Ha too~!
       
    5. Here's some pictures of my Ha. Please forgive the horrendous iPhone photos!!

    6. Oh he's beautiful! Such a sultry expression :D
       
    7. Thank you so much! He's a moody boy ^_^
       
    8. @zoziejane Oh, what an expressive face~! And his teeth parts are removable? That's always a plus! XD
       
    9. Wow, I love the idea of removable teeth. Also point of interest, Pygmalion is from a Greek myth where a sculptor fell in love with his statue and the gods made her real.
       
    10. Yeah, they can be removed, which is awesome! I haven't painted the teeth yet, but I reckon they will look more realistic when I do ^_^ I love this sculpt so much!!

      That's interesting about the Greek myth too- I did wonder where the name came from.
       
    11. All their faces seem so fresh and realistic! Ha is very nice in kind of dreaming about something. Robin takes place in my heart! But they all are sold out. Is it forever or like migidoll system?
       
    12. According to their faq page:

      Unless announced otherwise, we would like to inform you that there are no plans to discontinue the dolls made at Pygmalion.

      Even if discontinuation is decided, we will first give notice several months in advance and leave a period of time before discontinuing.

      Unrelated to the discontinuation of products, in order for more efficient manufacturing and production, we receive orders in a short-term system.

      The period in which orders are received may change due to circumstances.


      So it looks like sold out doesn't mean forever, but they only open orders sometimes rather than having orders continually available. Seems their last sale period was in February, according to their notice&event page. I hope they will have a new sale period open up later this year.
       
    13. Like someone mentioned in a previous post, I saw someone selling a head from the company and instantly fell in love and did some digging. I think I know what my next doll is going to be because these sculpts are absolutely beautiful and the company definitely deserves all the fans!
       
    14. Hello everyone! Pygmalion is a wonderful company to work with. They are super friendly. The quality is great. Currently right now I have a Ha in tan skin but he is not complete yet sadly. For those who are interested in their work you should shoot them an email!
       
    15. @Jubei im actually highly considering getting a ha in tan! He's absolutely beautiful. The only reason I'm iffy is because I want to hybrid him (the body they sell is too bulky for the character) but matching tans is not a fun thing. Can I ask how the tan is in person? C: I'm always worried a company's tan is going to be too orange for my taste!
       
    16. OMG I recognize some of these boys! KPop idols.... I'm so sure (although none of the ones I'm into enough to know the names LOL) Beautiful dolls
       
    17. Oh wow, thanks @Miri for even starting this thread. These dolls are splendid & I'm so glad I just found out about them! I'm loving Kyle & Robin; would love to see owner pics as well~ :D

      Watching this thread avidly now since I don't have any social networks.
       
    18. If anyone finds out a good hybrid body for these guys, i'd love to hear about it! These dolls are so handsome~
       
    19. @Choctopi I think I'm going to try and hybrid one as soon as I save up enough money for both a head and a body o uod I'll post findings at some point. A friend with a few different body typed said I could definitely try the head on all her boys when I get him, to see what height/sizes he looks good on. .

    20. They tan is lovely in person. No orange look at all. I do have Iplehouse real skin, light brown and Dollshe cooper oriental that I can possibly show together. I know for a fact that the light brown is off but I will throw it in there. Just got to make time to take the picture.
       
    21. Oh wow that would be amazing, thank you! o u o
      I did a little digging on the site and found the resin color guide as well and (assuming my laptops coloration is pretty normal) it looks wonderful and I'm pretty sure I'm sold on getting a head in tan Cx Just gotta wait for a payday or two now.
       
    22. Hello everybody!
      I have Kyle NS!
      I love him very much!

    23. Yep! He definitively is charismatic!
       
    24. @SaikoXIX he looks awesome! I can't wait to see your faceup on him too, you do such beautiful work :D
       
    25. @SaikoXIX He is absolutely breath taking!

    26. @SaikoXIX Good lord his face is prety even without being painted.

      @Jubei Ahhh thank you so much!! it actually looks surprisingly close to the iplehouse special real, I'm a little surprised.
       
    27. How does the Pygmalion body pose?
      Is it heavy?
       
    28. Looks like another ordering period has opened up! Will anyone be getting one of these guys? I'm a little sad that I'll have to pass this time...
       
    29. Me me! :D I love one of the Pygmalion heads in tan, but idk nothing about neck and skin matches for Pygmalion dolls/heads (especially in tan) :(
       
    30. Oh man, I sooooo wish I could! But I literally just paid for a doll, can't justify the cost of another. I hope to see a lot more of these guys around from other people's photos. I will admire from afar.

      Also, though Iike the overall shape of the body, I really dislike the separation line between the pecs to rest of torso, and the division lines in general are rather severe for my taste (this seems to be a typical style choice among most of the realistic bodies, sigh). If I order I think I will just get a head and see about hybriding with Soom Idealian body, which is a bit cheaper than the Pygmalion body too...
       
    31. Oh man, I'm gonna have to skip ordering this time (it was a rent paycheck and not a "me" paycheck this week oopse ) but I'm definitely putting some money aside for next time. ; o;
       
    32. Same here!
       
    33. Yay, I bought Robin :3

    42. Beautiful. Absolutely stunning.

      What bodies are you finding work for him?
       
    43. @MadamMauMau I'm very flattered to hear from you) thanks!
      I want a Dollstown18
      but need modification of neck
       
    44. Ah! Does that mean this is another of those huge heads? Well, damn. I had real hopes for a Kyle, but don't want to go down the giant body route.
       
    45. @SaikoXIX Wow he looks amazing. You've done a great job with him. :love

      I just found out about this company and I'm awed by their sculpts. Hope they open another pre-order soon. :chibi
       
    46. @MadamMauMau oh, yes, i think.
      Original body:
      •Body size
      Height(Including head) 71
      Neck circumference 12

      and I did hybrid with Spiritdoll (70см) body and I think that it was little...

      @purplepaws thank you very much! *______*
       
    47. Ah, nuts. I wouldn't want to go any bigger than a Spiritdoll Proud size. Such a shame. There are some lovely heads out there, but they seem to need those huge (and expensive) big bodies. He might just have been relegated to my sometime-never list, then.
       
    48. By the looks of their instagram account, it seems like Pygmalion wants to make smaller sized dolls too, iirc! I'm holding out hope....
       
    49. They have posted a picture of a 1:6 scale male, which looks promising. Only, that's another scale to be out on its own. :roll: I suppose he could play with my action figures.

      I would just love some of the beautiful mature, realistic heads that have been coming out to be 8" and sit well on a standard 70cm body. It would open up options for hybriding. The best ones seem to be just too big. Not a whole, new scale entirely, just too big to be 70cm.
       
    50. shoot, you're right. i thought it was 1/4 but my memory was off! 1/6 IS pretty small for that sort of detail in a doll... but still, the sculpts are so beautiful i think i'd give it a shot. hopefully they'll make one more like what you're talking about sometime.
       
    51. But...Kyle!!!!! Ah well. I didn't need a longer wishlist anyway.

    54. Hi, just pop in to say hello with my Pygmalion Robin (normal skin and his next is a SID).

      Initially I purchased a head only from their website and in fact his resin was rather pink than I expected.
      Plus it was not easy to find a well matching body for me as their TEIA71 was sold out.
      In meanwhile he's on an older Iplehouse EID body, which seems to be propotionally matching for him.

      Hopefully for next I would like to get their HA as he has an open mouth with teeth parts. :-)
      Besides, they are going to release 1/6 size doll soon, too?!!:dance

    55. @SaikoXIX your boy looks marvelous! Finally have my boy at least 70% done. He just needs some clothes since most of the clothes I have do not fit. I do own the TEIA 71 body. Going through the trail and error phrase for clothes isn't fun at all. :(
