Ringdoll Grown Dolls, thread #6

Oct 15, 2017

    1. I have discovered the flaw in the fabulous new gesture hands.

      Dressing. Is. Hard.

      Good thing Nameless doesn't change often.
       
    2. Yes, they certainly will be a problem, which is sort of how the Dollshe paddle hands came about. I have a primitive solution; use a mid-sized s-hook in place of the hands (I actually use a cup hook with the screw end cut off so it doesn't snag the fabric) when changing then slip the hands s-hook back on.
       
    3. New thread inauguration spam!

    4. The White King has been released! Anyone plan on getting him?
       
    5. Not me! Though he'd be the one I'd spring for if I was into the super-fantasy thing. I really love that whole package.

      And I'm saving for the action figure release lol - I was thinking I might just add on all the parts I want to his pre-order....I'm sure he'll be almost as much as a doll. They usually are :p

      @Jany yay for spam!!
       
    6. Initially, I was so excited for the White King's release but now, I don't know what to feel (or do). I don't really like his face and his attire. Although, the rest of him is really cool. I will wait and see if I like Judge.

      Plus, I was recently reminded of the action figure release and I'm really gunning for the mini K. I have the 70cm version but I'm finding he's too big for me so I might sell him and get the smaller version instead. I'm really excited for that!
       
    7. New thread needs the drama twins. Ash went with me to Austin, leaving Evz behind. Now they are back together and mad at me for separating them.

    8. Yeah, I don't have any pressing need to get him. He's pretty but not my style I guess. It think it's the lips that are throwing me off. It was the same for the Red King, I didn't really like the open mouth.

      @angelie23 Ack! Is it the fullset priest K? I've been wanting one forever. But of course I just placed a doll order and I'm broke now! Dang it. That action Figure K might be the way to go. Anyone know a price?
       
    9. I saw the action figure preview on instagram, but I don't know if the price was listed or not. I just saw a date. Given his appearance I would guess he'd be around the same price point as other action figures in that range. So...not cheap. XD
      I've been meaning to post in Brigadoon about him....since he'd be off-topic for DOA.

      Also I have new spam for the thread!

      [​IMG]

      He needs his new heads! Which I have yet to order XD
       
      • x 9
    10. @VampireAngel13 What kind of expressions are the new heads going to have?
       
    11. One I'm going to mod with more open "sad" eyes since I draw him worried all the time (I would also love to attempt teeth on this one too, but I'm not sure I can do as good a job again. First time was probably a fluke XD)....the other I'm not modding - since I now have a second NS body roughly the same size and shape as his (Nameless Raven got a new body) I want a head that can be his pre-magic self. So, no eye patch or tattoos, and I have an excuse to buy more fancy, expensive suits, cause that's all he wore back in the day. And he'd share with Nameless, because I don't want evil, murdery John around all the time. D:

      Assuming I don't ruin the eyes on the one I'm modding lol because if that happens, the second head will be attempt #2.

      In theory, I shouldn't need more than that.
      In theory....
       
    12. Awesome! I look forward to it. And yeah, you do draw him with a sad/anxious look a lot so it will be cool to see it in doll form!!
       
    13. @Dark Angel @VampireAngel13 they said action figure K would be in the $100-200 range which is pretty wide range but at least it is a reasonable range.
       
    14. That...is like nothing O.O Either he's really cheap or smaller than I assume he is lol
      Either way, so much want. I have a billion Hot Toys on my wishlist, all way more than that...

      *cough* back on topic. But I can't think of anything D:

      Wait I got one: Is the judge color scheme that yellow? I can't decide how I feel about that. I thought maybe the was a base-coat....but maybe it isn't.
       
    15. I think it was just the base coat on the actual resin parts since the other was gray. The red and white kings were based on one color range but I'm hoping for multiple colors for the Judge.
       
    16. @Dark Angel Yup, it's the full set K but I wiped the face-up (I just didn't like it) and some other head took over his body. I can't have two 70cm guys around, one big guy is enough for me. So one of them has to go and I was more attached to my IOS Stille head than my Ringdoll K head. I may sell the K head in the future after I've secured a mini K.
       
    17. I'm just curious, what body does the Fullset Priest K come on? RGM03?
       
    18. He did come on the RGM03...That was one of the reasons I did not get the fullset when I ordered, other than not wanting the outfit (and not having the money lolol). I don't know if you could pick a body at that point for the fullsets...I would guess that would mess up the fit of the clothes? I'd still like to get my hands on a head. But oh well.
       
    19. Figures. They really seem to like putting their fullsets on the RGM03 body. Kind of a bummer for the people that just want the clothes since it's such a big body.
       
    20. Right? Though I guess it's good for those with that body, since nothing else fits it XDD

      I really wish it wasn't so huge. As far as posing goes it's really fantastic. The only body I have ever been able to get into an actual crouch without trying...I wish I'd taken a picture of that.
       
    21. :XD: Good point!!
       
    22. Since we're talking about K, here's mine after getting his new wig today:

      Instagram post by Carolus โ€ข Oct 18, 2017 at 6:52pm UTC

      He's even more arrogant now and oh boy do I like that.

      I really would like to blush the rest of him to get him finished, but on the other hand I'd also really like to read for my exams. I fell asleep today at the lecture and woke up as my head hit my shoulder. I better not do that if I ever get to be anyones lawyer lol

    23. @vauhtikatti omg he's fabulous!!


      I would not say no to more photos.
       
    24. He is fabulous @vauhtikatti His arrogance will jump off the charts with body blushing. :nosebleed:drool:wiggle

    25. Photo spam for the new thread. I think Julian might need a pair of smaller eyes because these might be too big! D:

      p.s. No plans on getting White king either, I am more interested in the photobook they asked our opinions about earlier this year.

    26. Finally found some eyes that I like in Eros.

      [​IMG]

      They're 14mm from Painted Wings. They have purple on one side of the eye and blue on the other. And they are sparkly!

    27. Eeeeee I want that mini K so badly! :D I'm still planning on getting a K head for one of my vampires, but a smol priest K would be awesome to.

      @VampireAngel13 - Oooh both of those sound awesome. I love John so much, he's such a cool character.

      @vauhtikatti - Oh wow he's so gorgeous! :D
       
    28. A late thank you to all of you! :) Milon will be a prisoner of his box for a while now, since I kinda started nanowrimo two weeks ahead.
       
    29. Oh he looks great! It's hard to find eyes for a more dreamy sculpt. I kind of agree he could use some smaller ones. It'll help them show up better.

      Those are perfect! *claps!* that color is amazing!

      I will have to check them out. I need an endless supply of blue and green eyes these days (stupid DC)

      Thanks!
      He's...something anyway. XD

      Everyone should get a mini-K!! Then we'd have to all go somewhere else and post photos! All the photos.

      Aw poor thing. He can't help? John is my inspiration for Nano this year, so he might be around even more D:
      To, you know. Help. Or maybe "help". Or maybe distract. Or maybe that's my cat I'm thinking of.
       
    30. @VampireAngel13 in fact Milon is a part of my novel trilogy I've worked on for almost 3 years. :) He's wearing a mask though and his face and name won't be revealed until the beginning of the 2nd book. I'm afraid that "knowing" him too well as a doll character will indeed distract me so that I will accidentally reveal too much of him in the first book. He appears three times if I got it right. He's just simply referred to as Full Moon or the Lord of the Masks until the 2nd book.

      I've actually been thinking that maybe I should craft him a little mask... no. Work. Don't. Get. Distracted.
       
    31. But masks are awesome!! Especially on Ks (not biased at all)

      I was actually going to post a pic of John in his mask but without his face showing there's really no Ringdoll in the photo for this thread lol
       
    32. You twisted my arm!
      and you can see his ear. My Ringdolls have the largest ears of any of my dolls....so I feel like that should count.

      [​IMG]

      They can't wear my awesome headphones. Ears way too big.

    33. My little brother would LOVE your dolls. DC and this mask.
       
    34. @VampireAngel13 John shines through even with the mask (yes it's his ears but I love em.)

      I think it's about time for Aalon and Eozahl to come out to play since it's so close to Halloween.I miss those two, even though I love Ash and Evz.
       
    35. I'm almost ready to reveal my Halloween surprise. The wig is drying. :XD:

    36. Can't wait to see!
       
    37. Question for you guys: I found a post from late last year that Mint on Card was downsizing and dropping Ringdoll from their represented companies, but when I went to MoC's website I saw that they still had Ringdoll listed. What's the deal there? :?
       
    38. They have a few in stock items from Ringdoll, so they didn't get rid of it. Actually, as far as I can tell, they didn't get rid of any of the companies. But they don't order from them anymore.
       
    39. Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification!
       
    40. very confusing about MOC. they just had preorders with 2 companies. I forget now which ones. so, they're still selling dolls, just not as often.

      if there's something you want ordered, send them an email. they're very nice.

      :daisy
       
    41. They still order from 3 companies I think. Dollzone, Aimerai and another that starts with an "A". I think...
       
    42. MOC news states that they will be an in-stock only store after September 2017 so they may order from the companies they already have listed. ??
       
    43. I would assume they would have to do this, or they'd have nothing left to sell. But maybe they're just phasing out? I looked through their Ringdoll page, everything is listed as "out of stock", so there is no way to order. They don't seem to have anything in stock right now either.

      The last thing I ordered from them was in stock, and I had to message them to get them to send it as they passed the two dates they'd given me...I don't know what's going on, but I don't think they're quite as reliable as they used to be. Which is sad. I hate to lose dealers.
       
    44. The workers have had some personal/family health issues and stuff, so they have lost employees. Last I heard, they still planned on running MOC but it does kind of feel like they are slowly phasing out. Such a shame but I guess it can't be helped.
       
    45. So I have this grandmother who is fairly new to computers etc. She got a printer this year and prints out literally every picture we grandchildren send her. Sooo I went to visit her and she had a topless photo of my Milon (K) on her fridge door. :nosebleed
       
      • x 4
    46. :XD: Granny's got taste!
       
    47. That's awesome! :lol:
       
    48. @vauhtikatti your grandma is awesome.

      So I see Ringdoll is having an event. I am holding out hope that tiny, action figure K will be released before the event is over because I have actual BJD stuff I want to buy and was thinking I'd throw all my money at them at once. And it would literally be the first time I would be able to participate in one of their events since I almost never order during the time period, or I don't quite get to the total. And I'd love another pair of hands.

      Also, random since I read @vauhtikatti s character descriptions in another thread....I'm curious to know if anyone has a non-murdery K? lol
       
    49. K is destined to be a killer. Poor guy. He just has that... ignorant and kind of depressed expression that fits characters who are "broken" on the inside. He's got the face of a cold-blooded person, and to me it somehow says "I have killed before and I do not care if I'll have to do that again." I think it, despite the lack of strong expression, might be the most emotionally powerful one of all Ringdoll grown dolls I have ever seen.

      Nowadays my Milon doesn't kill himself, he has subordinates to take care of that. He has upgraded his K-ness to a whole new level. Lol.
       
    50. Aalon is a demon and so he falls into the "possibly a murderer" category no matter how hard he wants to deny the title.:frownyblush:
       
    51. LOL! They're all murdery. They have no choice.
       
    52. Oh my goodness! I am in love with the Judge, his face is wonderful especially his ears.
       
    53. Ahhh thank you for sharing SteamWitch! Judge looks great!
       
    54. So many dolls this month..I love Judge's face..the white King was nice too.
       
    55. I'm happy (or my wallet is!!) to say that I don't need the Judge. Whew... :sweat I will be happy enough to enjoy his beauty through all of you! (SteamWitch in particular!) But his hands... with those claws... now that is tempting. And I do hope RD does more elf ears on future models.
       
    56. Oh my gosh y'all did no one order the Kar98k, DiYue SP, Senkai or White King? Looks like the waiting room died sometime in August.
      Did the Red King armor packing fail hurt Ringdoll?
       
    57. I admit that it does make me hesitate. I'd be so upset if my expensive fullset doll came with damaged items. But the main reason is that none of the new dolls have "grabbed" me. My favorite is the Red King but I won't be getting one.

      Anyone order the White King?
       
    58. The Red King stuff also has a chilling effect on my interest in buying these crazy complex full sets Ringdoll is doing. I really like the White King, except his face, kinda meh on that. If he looked like K then the Red King packing fail would be the main reason I'm not buying. While I really like the armor, not loving the face,the price and the prior packing fail combine to leave my money firmly in my account.
