Resinsoul Waiting Room v.6

Hello I’m joining you here. I recently bought a second hand doll head and I’ve just ordered a Resinsoul Cen body for it on layaway, primarily because they will sand the neck down to fit the head so I don’t have to try and do it I haven’t had a Resinsoul body before so I don’t know what to expect in terms of poseability. They’re going to try to match the resin to the photos I sent so fingers crossed. Does anyone have a Cen body here?

 

You can find some chat about the Cen body in the Resinsoul/ bobobie large doll discussion threads! I think it's mostly in the later pages of part 11 and in part 12

 

Awesome thank you

 

Congratulations! On both the head and the Cen purchases!

I own a Cen body that I've hybrided with a Zaoll Luv. I plan on more Cen bodies in the future! I love and adore Resinsoul, but to reap the full benefit, they do need a little bit of work.

Mostly, it's just a good suede, I prefer hot glue for mine, and wiring. I restring all my Resinsoul dolls because I don't like their method and having knotting the head. But restringing isn't necessary, just a preference. All RS are kicky from how smooth their joints are, so the suede is a real necessity. However, I've found wiring to bring out their full potential. At the very least, wire the Cen legs.

Beyond that, these bodies are fabulous and I love them! Their price point is also a big draw, but they're just nice bodies regardless! Great for smaller scale 1/3 or smaller sized heads. It's comparable to the old Delf body size and the newer 60cm FL body.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask away!

 

Oh thank you I’ve not done anything to any of my dolls as far as their bodies go so I’ll be checking some tutorials on how to do that in advance I don’t think I’d dare to restring by myself.

 

It always seems scarier than it is! The good news is that, with wiring and hot glue sueding, you don't have to unstring at all. That way you can get a bit more functionality before you attempt the big restring! If you struggle holding the pieces, find someone who can help.

You just pull the joint apart, and then one of the pieces at an angle so that the elastic is pulled tight to one side. Then hot glue the free part of the joint, let cool a bit, then fill in the gap on the other side after moving the piece/elastic. Start in the hips first to get comfortable with this, since it's a larger area to work with~

Same for wiring. Prep your pieces, pull the doll apart at access areas, and insert. For legs, I like a long piece that goes from ankle, up to hips and across, down to the other ankle. You fold it in half (more like a U than a A/V fold) go in from the torso and feed it into the leg channels straight down.

Good luck on whatever you decide to do! And if you get stuck, you're always free to ask me for help!

 

Thank you so much!! One of my other dolls I think needs some adjusting as he doesn’t hold poses well but I haven’t dared try anything yet.

 

I just ordered my first Resinsoul custom, and they have been so nice! I was pleasantly surprised. It's going to be a Shan body with transparent hooves, horns and a Ju head in white. I will definitely be back to get some fun resin colors in future. It was only 5 bucks over the normal price too!

They said they would have the order ready in about a month, which seems a bit too fast to be true? But hey, I am good with waiting.

 

I ordered my first Resinsoul parts on November 4th - a gray Ran body with a larger bust ala Rouxi and a 3part torso! I was honestly surprised they were able to do the 3 part mod, I had full on expected a polite rejection when I asked. As far as I can tell, they didn't charge me anything extra for the mod either . This body will for a Sanmei Doll Little Zombie head to finally make a jiangshi! I also got a pair of jointed hands and heel feet to go with it in the same gray.

They estimated it would take about 40 business days which feels insanely fast to me, I am very excited!! I have a feeling I will be ordering from them again, especially if I want to take a crack at modding a head myself. They have quite a few sculpts I have been eyeing for awhile lol

 

I placed an order for a couple of custom bodies (Cen in a custom color +jointed hands and a modified 1/3 boy body to be female +jointed hands and heel feet) and they said it should be about a month! Which feels incredibly fast for two bodies to me! Although they didn't charge me shipping, so I assume they'll send an email with a shipping fee?

Anyway I'm excited and also nervous-- I hope the bodies will work for the heads I have!

 

Nope- it gets better than that—the prices they gave you included shipping.

Resinsoul is magic

 

oh really?! i didn't see anywhere on their site where they mentioned free shipping or shipping included! That is amazing!

 

I just ordered a 1/6 girl body to make a hybrid with a Myou 1/6 head that I REALLY hope will work! If not - well, it's still a nice body, I guess I can find it another head.
So - is the shipping time pretty quick for just a body with no modifications or anything complicated?

 

Nice. I sent a mail to Resinsoul to ask for a status update ...and got a shipping note in return. Only 5 and a half weeks after I ordered. That's a nice surprise.
Now I keep my fingers crossed that the package won't get stuck or lost in the yearly Christmas chaos.

 

I was just wondering if anyone has a picture comparison between the Cen body, and the Gang body.

I have a Resinsoul Gang, but the longer I've had the body, the more I don't like it. I've had to wire the whole thing, and I don't like that he is so much shorter then a lot of my other SD boys. I was wondering mostly is the Cen body is all around bigger and taller then the Gang body.

I've tried searching on here, but I can't really find a picture comparison. I would love to get my Gang a new body.

 

There is one on the resinsoul page.
RESINSOUL--Cen

The bigger boy body might be an option for you. I have seen a Gang on that body somewhere.
Or maybe even the Baili body.

Edit: Found the Gang on bigger boy body.
/posts/12140566/

 

On Cen’s listing, the last image is a comparison of the Cen and Gang bodies. They’re the same height, and almost the exact same proportions (though his elbow peanuts are longer, whuch might make them a little more stable than Gang’s, and he has a 2 part torso, instead of a three part, that I like the sculpting on a little better. I don’t know how the posing varies between them, so I’ll defer to anyone else who owns both bodies on that, but the height will be more or less the same, unless you ask Resinsoul to do mods that will change the height (which they would probably do).

You might be able to cheat a little extra height out of either body by making short (like 2 cm at longest) ankle risers out of apoxie to sneak in a little extra height, and then thickly hot glue sueding the head to extend the neck like 0.5 cm to 1 cm. But that gets you at most 2.5-3 cm and it doesn’t change his proportions, which will still not fit bigger 65cm clothes.

The bigger boy body is 9 cm taller, at 70cm, and it’s got a 10 cm neck and 13cm shoulders (it is quite slender for a 70cm body—I actually own this one!) Cen’s neck is 9.7 cm, and his shoulders are 12 cm. You could plausibly put 61cm heads on the 70 cm body, with the measurements being that similar, and if you want him to not be 70cm tall, you could ask RS to mod the legs a hair shorter, and drop him to more like 68 cm without looking too off.

Edit: oops, too slow. I’m just repeating what @Colocat said in more words

 

This is really useful! Thank you! The Cen body does look a little wider, but not any taller. I don't want to get too tall with him, I just want to get his height about the size of my other SD 62-63cm boys. Although he seems to fit really good on that 70cm body.

This is great idea. I did try some hot glue sueding to give him height and stabilize him, but I never thought of making ankle extensions. I only want to raise him a few centimeters. Also I love to experiment with modding so this is a great opportunity to try something new.

I am not that worried about how thin he is. I have his arms wired and arranging them out from his body helps him to look more bulky, and I put him in heavier clothing.

Now I have to go study how to work with apoxie.

Thank you both!!!

 

Just to comment on this because i recently asked them about doing that, they told me they will not adjust the heights of the various bodies

 

Oh that's a bummer!! I was going to ask for them to slightly shorten the legs on the Bigger Boy Body for a character. I guess I'm shortening the legs myself.

 

Yeah that was what I had initially asked them to do and they said changing the height is too complicated and suggested ordering the Cen body instead.
If you do get a bigger body and shorten it, I'd love to see how it goes! I was a little nervous about trying to do that myself while still maintaining good proportions to the torso and arms, so I did order a Cen body, but I'm not convinced it will work for the head I have.

 

Ohh, I’ve done a massive shortening mod—involving torso, legs and arms on another Resinsoul body, and if you take too much height off any part of the body you have to resize the whole body. What I would likely do to get the bigger boy body down to 68 cm, is I would take out two 0.5 cm slices, from both the thigh and the calf, one 1cm slice is less work, but the work looks cleaner and more gradual with multiple small slices (what I did with my project girl’s shins, versus what I did with her thighs). My mod is very drastic, and works on taking a body from 60cm down to more like 52cm—which is a tremendous reduction. She might actually be slightly under 50 cm by now—I’ll have to compare her to my 48 cm Angel Philia hybrid. I lost track of how many CM I’ve taken off, honestly. She looks relatively proportionate now that I’ve reduced every part of her body, and not just her legs though (I have no pics of what I’ve done with her arms posted yet!)

 

When I get the apoxie sculpt on Monday to work on leg extensions, I am thinking to add both around the upper thighs and around the ankles. This will keep the knee joint undisturbed as I don't want to mess with any major joints. I also think it ill make his legs look more proportionate if I add a about 1cm in each direction. It won't give him too much added height, but it will make him more evenly matched when standing next to his friends.

Also as a silly side note, he looks a little nervous about this upcoming 'operation' or maybe it's just me projecting. lol

Yeah, I 100% agree with staying away from the joints when you’re adding height! I did not want to have to redo any joints when I did my shrinking project, and I think adding a cm to each part of the leg is small enough you probably won’t have to extend the arms. I did a leg swap that added more height than that to one of my dolls, and his arms still look fine!

 

Does Resinsoul use a specific carrier for packages to the US? I got really excited this morning because i had a text form FedEx that a package was due to be delivered today and I didn't remember ordering anything, but it turned out to just be things for my dog xD So now I'm wondering if I should keep an eye out for things from a specific carrier, just in case I don't get a notice from Resinsoul themselves (since it sounds like they don't always send them?)

 

In my recent experience, it’s DHL that they use to ship to Canada, so I would imagine that would be the same for the US

 

Good to know, thanks! We don't get many things from DHL where I live, so I hope they can do it without any problems!

 

Hello! I just ordered my first BJD, a ResinSoul Shan! I ordered her the 23rd and got the tan/brown horns and the normal skin color. I also got the butterflies! Really excited to receive her. ♡

 

I think my doll MIGHT be on the way???? At least, I got a shipping notice from Australia Post that I have a parcel coming from China, and the only other things I have on order are either from Korea or are Aliexpress, who don’t usually have tracking numbers like that. But my order status at Resinsoul hasn’t changed? So I guess it will be a surprise if it is the doll body I ordered or not! I hope it is!!!

EDIT (so as not to double post) - it WAS my order!!!!
Unfortunately the head I wanted to put on the tiny body didn't really work, but that's okay, I half expected it - the scale is just right to fit in with my fashion size MSDs as a younger child (FID, SartoriaJ, Raccoondoll) - most Yosds look too chubby and not in proportion, but the slimmer scale of the Resinsoul body looks just right! Of course, now I have to find a head to match in the 4-5" or maybe 5-6" scale, so that will be a challenge - but it can be quite fun researching, and I really like the body, so that's all good!!! Also I could go ahead and make clothes for her once I have the time - so that's a project too, even if she's headless for now!

 

The doll bodies I ordered are on the way! Technically they sent them on the 24th, but they sent me an email today/ last night with the tracking number (I'm surprised they emailed me with the holiday! I hope they're taking time to enjoy it!). They're coming EMS/USPS, which works well for me, since USPS is the most reliable carrier who delivers to my house, so i know they won't get left somewhere they could get damaged. I'm so excited!

 

I'm going to try to get a set of Lina's arms/legs/hands/feet for a frankendoll I've been assembling. The only struggle is whether I should order anything else. I still want a Song and Ming...and maybe with those glorious paws!

But I do need to save money.

 

The bodies i ordered arrived!! Right as we were getting home from taking our dog to the vet's xD I have some more work things I need to do before i can open them though, but i'm excited! The shipping just updated last night, so I was expecting them tomorrow or Saturday

 

Even though I haven't heard a peep from resinsoul, I got a DHL delivery estimate for Friday! I'm so excited!!!

 

Placed an order for a custom Winter; Sun reported it should be about a month. Time to see how tariffs go.

 

Place an order for a Wukong body with Ming legs and was told it should be about 40 days. I did have to pay shipping on this one, unlike the order I placed in November, but honestly, I was expecting I would've needed to then, and it was still very reasonable for an overseas package, so I don't mind. I am a little anxious how things will go once it gets to the States, especially since I think i saw that Hong Kong post isn't accepting packages destined for the US.

 

Has anyone been waiting for longer than is usual for a Resinsoul order in dark tan? I'm waiting on a body since November and I'm getting antsy that there was something wrong with it.

 

Did you order directly from them or from a dealer? I didn't get any dolls in dark tan, but did order two custom bodies (a custom color and one with sculpt modifications) in November and they arrived in the middle of February. If you haven't heard anything by now and you ordered from them directly, I'd definitely email them to ask! If you ordered from a dealer like Denver Dolls, I think it's normal to have a longer wait period.

 

It was through Denverdoll, and they've heard nothing either. I'll be patient, I'm sure this is tariff related.

 

Another order placed, this one for a Qingqiu in all white, with the faceup. This one also got the estimate of about a month. No update on Winter just yet but that one's a custom mix of three colors, so I'm just being patient.

 

Winter received! Took almost two months, versus the initial estimate, but estimates are estimates and Resinsoul remains really fast compared to so many studios.

 

Oh, the Wukong body i ordered arrived over the weekend! I'm not sure when exactly they sent it out, since I didn't get a notice from them about it, just a text from my dad that I had a package xD But the estimate was 40 days, so I'd say it was right on track/ a little early based on when I ordered it.

 

Parking myself in the waiting room today, because I’m about to put in an unhinged order by email.

-bigger boy body, in white, with black dripping on it (will be going with an impldoll Aurora head I’ve painted very trad goth) ($15 for the drip-colouration)

-Resinsoul Cen, half grey, half light pink ($30), with one of rainbow’s wings (white) on the pink side, and one of Yan’s wings (black) on the grey side ($40), and one closed eye ($50).

the latter doll is about $320 with all the mods and extra parts, which is insanely reasonable considering how weird my string of requests are. The split-colour is something they were willing to do for Tears and the two different wings are based on an old souldoll Vito release (Calia and Riris) where the doll had one demon wing and one angel wing. RS warned me that the different wings are different weights, and that he will not balance amazingly standing, but I will 10/10 put the aesthetic first and get him in this weird configuration (though I appreciate the warning!!)

RS continues to amaze me with the unhinged requests they’ll abide, and the prices they’ll do them for—no other company would charge $30 to do something as complex as the split colour, or $15 for my drip-colouration. Genuinely incredible that they will do this level of custom work affordably. I was fully prepared to have to dye the split coloured body, or buy the wings and mod them on myself to get the character I wanted.

Haven’t paid yet—they’re calculating what shipping to Canada will be worth, which honestly won’t be too bad. I was prepared for my Cen to be either deemed impossible, or cost me a lot closer to 400-500, so I’m not worried about what shipping will cost me.

I’m going to be buying a lot more bodies from resinsoul, with a lot more neat custom work! The latest is I’ve seen they’ll put boobs on the Cen body to make a muscular girl, and I want to see if I can get them to do that with the 72cm body to get another tall buff girl without breaking the bank. And getting the fin ears that Lu has on probably another Cen for a DnD character. And I’m probably getting more rainbow wings to mod onto other dolls eventually. Suffice it to say, I’ll be buying from RS for a long time to come.

 

Oooh those sound like interesting customs!! I hope you'll share pics!

 

I promise I’ll spam them both when they come in!! Also, your Vanora’s body is solidly inspiring me to see what other bodies they’ll make into buff women. She’s gorgeous!!

 

These sound so cool! I’d love to get a doll with the dripping effect from Resinsoul one day. And I was hoping someone would get a doll with one Rainbow wing and one dragon wing! I’d love to see how the combo looks. Hope we’ll see some pics when they arrive!

It’s coming up on the estimated 40 days since I put in my custom order. I’ve been obsessively checking my email, hoping for a shipping notice

 

Yesssss I will be sure to post many pics when they come in!! What was your custome order for?

 

Spoiler: This was my very custom order

I asked for a Ran body with the breasts completely removed, clawed hands, Rainbow’s wings added, Qingqiu’s ears and tail added, and the legs swapped with Rouxi’s legs with up-sized Pi feet instead of hooves. I asked if Rouxi’s legs be modified to fit the thigh peanuts that Ran’s body has. This body will also have two colors; black and a custom purple color (Pantone 2105).

I asked for an extra Qingqiu tail in white resin. I plan to combine the two tails into an extra long stripey tail, kind of like a ring-tailed lemur tail.

It’s been a week past the estimated shipping date I was given. Would I be too much of a pest to send an email to ask for an update? Or should I wait a bit longer?

I’m just anxious with August around the corner, and I can’t remember if that will have any kind of tariff effect or not.

 

Received my Qingqiu today!

 

I'd probably give them a little more time. When I placed the order for my muscular 1/3 girl, it did take longer than the their estimated shipping time, presumably because they had to do more work to make the molds. The Wukong body with Ming legs I ordered, a simpler customization by comparison, took just shy of the estimated 40 business days exactly.

 

I officially put in my unhinged order—let’s see how long the split-coloured guy takes!!

 

Placed an order for Heng on the Baili body 4 days ago. The estimated shipping date is in about a month. If they really can make it, it would be super fast once again.

 

Alright… I came into a tiny bit of money, so I added a charisma to my order… how can I not, she’s so cute with her little horns!

 

Just bought a Qingqiu a few days ago. First new doll in several years so I'm excited for her delivery!

 

My Heng arrived.
Got shipped after 5 1/2 weeks, arrived at my home 6 weeks after I placed the order.
He started in China, traveled thousands of Kilometers, got through the custom process and arrived at my door in Germany within 3 days. That's pretty impressive. ^^

 

Had to email RS to make sure they didn’t ship EMS because Canadapost is striking, only to learn they’re already done my unhinged order, and will be shipping (UPS or DHL) once the holidays are over!! This is wild—it’s an order for 3 full dolls and 1 body, virtually all of which have weird mods/colour requests. Their speed is truly unmatched

 

We are officially shipped!!

edit: I wish it wasn’t UPS. I am trying to rout it to an access point because it’s not safe to have anything valuable couriered to my condo, and so I had it shipped to my parents’ address which isn’t entirely convenient to get to, but the UPS site is garbage and it won’t let me send it to a UPS Store closer to me, on either mobile or desktop. Anyone else get this issue?

 

How have the shipping costs direct from RS been, with tariffs included? Has anyone gotten charged after arrival, held up at customs until paid, or has RS been prepaying? Just curious...

 

My custom Qingqui with Dawn hands and Mei ears was shipped last week! She won't be in in time for Valentine's Day (boo) but she'll still make a lovely gift for my wife regardless

 

And I'm back for another order from Resinsoul, hehe.
This time it's the 72 cm Baili body and a pair of jointed hands. My Morolab2 Nile head has been waiting for a body for years. Now he's finally getting one.
Resinsoul is kindly sanding down the neck a little for me so that the head fits better.
