Raccoon Doll Discussion - Part 6

Gorgeous together! I love her little summery top!

 

My Elf Erika is Sweet Mocha, and I think she is similar to the company photos. I ordered her a wig and oval glass eyes today. Though the eyes are a similar color to the blue ones she came with, I hope I like them better.

 

Milk mocha and sweet mocha look identical in that picture.....

 

They are quite different in real life. Here's my two ladies - Rosie is Milk Mocha, and Monica is Sweet Mocha. Both with Raccoon faceups....

 

I have Raccoon Doll Sia slim body vol 2 in sweet mocha skin tone. For some reason could not make a photo that would reflect this color. It looks like normal.. My phone camera is not so great though...... Here she is, looks like normal

 

Congratulations MayQ, your Sia is so gorgeous! Yes, her skintone looks surprisingly light in that photo! She is so very beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more photos of her, if you get the chance!

 

Sure! I usually post to the Gallery when I sew a new outfit.

 

I just posted this over in the FID discussion too, but I thought people on this thread might like to see as well - we were discussing hybrid options for FID/Raccoondoll to make a doll that looked like a teenager, or in scale child, and here's my contribution of my full dolls and hybrids:



Left to right: Raccoondoll (RD) head on original Withdoll girl body, RD head on JID body with glamour bust, FID boy, FID girl, RD girl head on Dollzone B45-018 boy body, Raccoondoll girl, and Myou Tiny Gina in front of the FID boy.

Please note though that they're all on stands about 1-2 cm high (you can see it clearly on the boy hybrid), except the FID boy, the Withdoll girl and the Myou tiny. So the height comparison is a bit off with those ones. Also apologies for the random mish-mash of styles and that some dolls don't have face-ups yet!

So if you're after some variety in this size - the JID body, with the glamour bust, makes a nice almost plus size looking girl, a bit shorter than the standard size - and normally the resin would match too but my JID is old and a bit yellowed. The Withdoll/RD hybrid makes a nice teenage looking or just short girl - the head is slightly large but it's not bad. The Myou tiny has maybe a slightly too small head, but is better than any other YoSD or mature tinies I've found for looking like a child next to the FIDs. She does have a slight bust which I intend to dremel flat at some point. And the DZ body with RD girl head makes a nice slimmer/younger male, if you don't want all your guys big and muscley! Note that you do need to use a female RD head, the male will look too big I think.

I think one of the most important things to consider for hybrids in neck size, as most MSDs will have too large a neck for the 5-6 size heads - but all these ones work pretty well. The JID is maybe a little big, but I think you can get away with it.

So there we go! Hope that's helpful to any other obsessive hybrid makers out there!

 

Does anyone know of a hybrid Raccoon doll girl head on a Minifee or Supia body? I'm guessing the neck would need modding since the neck measurement on their page is smaller than what I'm measuring from Mnf and Supia, but would the proportions just look super weird even if the head happened to fit on the neck?
Just how much smaller are they?
Also do we have any info on the new bodies other than "there will be the new body of woman and man released"?

 

Roqdoll put a Raccoondoll head on a Bimong body - the new type one - here: Login • Instagram - I think it looks awesome! And yeah, I really want to know about the new Raccoondoll bodies too, but no news yet as far as I know.

 

The long nail FID hands arrived for my Mika and they were easy to put on, just the little S hook cover kept falling out so I just put them in the little bag with her original hands. I love these FID hands she has much better wrist movement now. Just need to paint them when I get some more free time.

 

@derilan85 oh I didn't realize that switching the hands would provide greater wrist movement too. The raccoondoll wrist has terrible movement. Shoot now I might need some grey fid hands...

 

Just FYI, RD and Iple and RD gray resins don't match. Iple gray is quite a bit lighter than RD. I don't have a good picture to illustrate the differences, but for me they don't match near enough to switch hands, as I say, RD is a shade or 2 darker than Iple.

 

Thanks for the link morganatron! I had to ask about buying heads separately and also about the upcoming bodies and this was their answer:
Ordering extra heads, with or without body?Q&A - RACCOON DOLL
"We’re not providing head separately. It is possible to purchase the single item only in the event period according to our schedule.
Our new body will be released in late February, so please wait a little more."

It's already February, so... That's soon!
Is there a head selling event schedule somewhere..?

Anyway, I wonder is the new body going to be "just" a slimmer option, like the difference between glamorous and slim but one step slimmer. They are pretty, but I would love to see one with shorter legs or different torso joint!
And maybe different hands since it sounds like those are a problem currently?

 

You may know this, but Elite Doll World 1/3 tops fit my Gene. She has the large bust, in case you are wondering. I could put it on over her hips.

I'm so happy to find an affordable option so I don't have to make everything. I did make the slacks.

@MayQ Where did you get your Sia's pants?

 

Ugh... Been a wile since I dropped by! So many gorgeous ladies
Here is the grand reason for my absence - I finally finished crocheting and outfit for Dall! Not sure about the necklace - the beads may be a bit to large for the scale - I wanted to use the same ones I did no the dress itself but now I'm very much on the fence about them...
It's the first time I picked up a crocheting hook in mover a decade, so do cut me some slack on the many mistakes please!

Stylish lady - I especially love her long crocheted coat!

 

@Patrice S - Aideen is gorgeous!

 

drooling here Patrice.

 

I hope Mr Sy Choi and Raccoon Doll are ok. I keep checking for updates or previews of the new body mentioned a while back, but nothing yet. Has anyone heard anything?

Patrice S, your Monica is perfection with her firey auburn locks and those lovely knits

 

I'm wondering about that too! Maybe it's just taking longer to make than they thought, or they're snowed under with orders. I can't wait to see what the new body is like!

I also just asked on the Q&A board if they plan to make any more sleepy eyed heads - I just love Sleepy Eyed Laetitia, and I would love it if they made more of the existing sculpts with that option! I think Emma would be just gorgeous... I'll let you all know if there's any response!

 

Patrice,

I do love her with that color wig. She is breathtaking.



Here is a little bit of Sephora's longing. Longing for what? Not sure.

 

Thanks Patrice.

Micha is stunning @JinCIncy ! Is that a raccoondoll Faceup? The eyeliner is really lovely.

 

THanks! Yes, he has the default RD face up.

 

Rosie is back together with her ex....

 

@MB Lilac - Rosie with a cannoli!

Nice photo, as always.

 

She’s stunning! Those lips are so striking.

 

Does anyone know about an update of the "new glamour body"? cause the info is gone from the homepage. I am excited to see it but wonder what happened that it takes so long

 

Monica, out for a ride on a very cold, windy morning...

 

Always enjoy seeing your photos of the dolls with the horses @MB Lilac !
A new Nan (Nana) photos, just because

@JinCIncy - Thanks. I had to take advantage of all the flowers blooming in that field, so several of my dolls got to ride through it.

 

Patrice S yeah i saw that now. In facebook, people were discussing about if it is MSD or SD. I think (and hope) it´s the new version of the glamour body. I hope we gonna see more soon.
The ellbow joints are different than the old version of the bodies and the updated slim body
So let´s wait and see.

Anybody know if Racoondoll is going to release more types of hands for the girl dolls? Or if Iplehouse FID hands will fit Racoondoll?

I've been eyeing the "second hands," but they've been listed as sold out ever since I started an order with BJDivas two months ago.

 

Iplehouse JID hands will fit Raccoon ladies, but resin match could be an issue depending on the colour. My Monica, who is Sweet Mocha, has JID Girl Fantasy Hands in special real skin, which is a very good match.


Unfortunately Rosie, who is Milk Mocha is stuck with her Raccoon hands since there's no resin match with Iplehouse. I also don't know if Iple FID hands fit.

 

Oh, I like her a lot! Uh oh..........................

 

Yes, Iplehouse FID hands fit Raccoondoll too! The NS colour matches very well, but I don't know about any of the other colours.

 

Two new dolls up, plus new slim body, plus free shipping event!!!!

...Not sure why they now have three versions of the slim body when they were going to do a new glamour body, but oh well! Maybe it's yet to come?

 

morganatron I really hope that we gonna see the new glamour body soon

The problem of the slim body version 2 is that the updated body lost a bit of the good posing of the 1st version (at least in my opionion) - they did the mobility thights the other way round. It was not possible to snap into to hold the pose like it was in the 1st version. This is the main reason why i sold my girl i bought on that body- I wish to see "in action" pics of the 3rd version slim body

 

The new body is interesting - the hips and legs fit together a lot smoother which is nice aesthetically, and so do the arms fitting in to the shoulders - not sure how that changes the movement though. The upper legs are slimmer too. The neck looks thicker though, which I don't love. The large bust is bigger than the original I think, but the boobs are sort of going to the side rather than having cleavage in the centre - they've gone for a natural look rather than as if she's wearing a bra, but I think I'd prefer the cleavage honestly- I like how that looks better in clothes! But others may prefer this of course!

So, eh, not that excited myself, but I am looking forward to seeing if the glamour body is going to get another option too. And I WOULD be excited about the free shipping but all I want is a doll head and only a few are available, not the "basic head" option so you can't choose between all of them!

 

Just finished looking at the new slim body. Definitely a bit confusing to have three slim bodies... (Slim, slim vol 2, and new slim). I sort of forgot slim vol 2 even existed until I saw the side by side pictures on raccoondoll website.

I see a lot of improvement visually in new slim to the old ones. It's really a different body from slim vol 2, but very similar to original slim. Slightly different curves to the waist and shoulder line. I think they are more natural on new slim. Somehow I like the ivy head better than the rose head on new slim, but that's probably just personal preference.

The listing says the arm and wrist movement is better. And that would be great, my original slim has basically no wrist movement and it's always bothered me.

I look forward to see owner photos.

 

I just hit the button on Ivy. She is so beautiful!
Question: Since the shipping costs are getting higher and higher, who would rather buy a kit in a small package and assemble the doll yourself if that would reduce the shipping considerably?
I wouldn't mind doing that, since I take them apart anyway for sueding and blushing.
If the doll came in parts and if there was a video how to go about putting it together, would you go for it?

 

ResinRapture to save shipping of course i wouldn´t mind to assemble the doll on my own- I have a lot of iples and sometimes they are strung too lose so i receive them and restring them. I think if raccoon offers this it would be great. I think i saw your enquiry about that at the Q&A at their homepage.
