I'm opening this thread for chat about the new Korean company Rosetta-doll and their 1/3 sized releases! Right now they have one head, Zio, compatible with an SD13/17 boy body. Website: http://rosettadoll.com ------- They have photos of one other doll up on the English site, Harpas. He's already sold out, so I think they're an established company that recently opened international sales, although I can't find their Korean site? They have more information on their order board, although you have to register to see it: I'm placing my order for Zio with face-up soon. Is anybody else interested in these beautiful boys? ^_^
I noticed he has such nice lips! uAu Too bad I just put another on layaway >: Definitely will keep an eye out also on the company >v<~
Oo he's cute, love the straight brown wig in some of the website photos ... deciding how to proceed next hehe
I placed an order as well, but now it seems like the site's down? I love Zio- he's perfect for my Garion ^__^
I just placed my order, although I don't expect a reply until the weekend is over. (It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that you can change the language option to English at the bottom right of the page. Makes things much easier. ) I love the way they've styled him, especially with the dark brown and caramel wigs. And those lips, boy. Hot damn. XD
I just placed my order too! I can't believe it! God he's sooooo pretty! I just HAD to have him! I'm so glad I noticed the order period and was able to order. I think I would have been devastated if I couldn't bring him home. He's just perfect for one of my characters. I also made a waiting room for those of us who have ordered! http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?508353-Rosetta-Doll-Waiting-Room
When I saw ZIO I was in LOVE. Then I found he only came in NS But I knew I had to get him > _ < He's gona be my first NS doll and I'm kinda nervous but pretty excited too! =] He already has a name and I just need to order his body!
He's a very handsome boy! Struck me immediately. Harpas is also very handsome and I'll be interested to watch this company in the future. Right now though I just bought a new darling (maybe two) so I'm going to have to hold off on this fellow but I'll look forward to seeing some come home!
I've been considering ordering this gorgeous boy (it took me way too long to figure out how to actually order, haha), but was wondering what bodies he might fit on--does anyone know what his neck measurement is? I assume it has to be pretty large if he can fit an SD17 body.
I asked them what his neck measurement is on the Q&A board, and they posted this. It looks like he's around 9.7cm:
Thanks for posting the info, Shien. c: I sent in an order today (here's to hoping I did it correctly).
Yay, congrats to everyone on their orders! I found some more company photos of Zio here on their Korean blog (which you can access through the Rosetta-Doll site now), in case anyone wants to see him with blue eyes and a black wig. Starting to think that there's no bad way of styling this boy, seriously. xD
Going to join in here after lurking for a while. I got my tracking number for Zio, today, so it looks like we can be expecting to see some of these guys arrive soon.
That's great you got a tracking number! Very fast! Who orderd their Zio with a faceup? I orderd mine blank but I asked for him to be shipped straight from them to a faceup artist in Korea I chose, so it will take a bit longer for me to have him in my hands. I'll post preview photos when I get them if anyone is intrested in seeing a non-default look. Rosetta told me when I asked that they are conisdering re-release of Harpas. If anyone else is intrested in seeing Harpas for sale, please let them know on their Q&A board!
I ordered Zio with the default faceup, so I still have a few weeks to wait. I'm super-excited that people are already getting tracking numbers, though. And I'd love to see everyone's photos!
I'm in the same boat as you Shien. I have to wait a while longer since I ordered with a face up -- but I really want to see everyone's pics!
Who saw Yuha? Rosetta are evil to release such a lovely head so soon! Seriously, I want him too, I like him as much as Zio if not more. My prefrence would be to wait until I have my Zio in hand before ordering another, just to be sure of qaulity and everything (I'm sure it's great, but it dosen't hurt to be careful) but i'm worried he won't be offerd again if I don't get him now. What to do...?
Yup, they're sure working fast with these releases - Yuha's preorder is coming exactly a month after Zio's, and he hasn't even come home to most people yet. @_@" You could wait for a week or two, since people who ordered Zio blank have already gotten shipping notices? We might get a few reviews here before the end of the month. I can sit this one out, fortunately. Yuha is adorable, but I have too many dolls planned already. I'm definitely loving Rosetta's style!
Oh, Yuha is so precious! I really like Rosetta's aesthetics - soft without sacrificing detailing. And the lips!*3*
Ahhhh T^T I took a break from doa so I just discovered this company. I wish I had the chance to get Zio~ XD I love his look. But I look forward to seeing photos of him by everyone else, especially for resin comparison
Just saw a Zio on a Granado body here: (http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...RANADO-to-ALL-companies&p=8971662#post8971662) Zio is a very handsome head but I have not ordered him... Now I regret for it. Are there anyone who's Zio has arrived? Wanna see more Zio pictures.
My Zio arrived today, but I haven't had time to unpack and look at him yet. ^^;; Maybe sometime this weekend... Does anybody have any bodies they want to see him on? I can do comparison with SD13, SDGr, SD17. I have Soom Super Gem and Ariadoll 18 as well, but they are in white skin, so it would be only good for size comparison...
Congrats on the arrival! I'd love a comparison with SDGr when you have time; that's the body I'm currently considering for my Zio. He looks surprisingly good on the Granado WS body as well, although I don't normally go for the muscular ones. ^^;
I'm actually now really hoping my DZ72cm will look good with him/match decently. I really want my Zio to be tall and lean. >.< GAH. I can't wait to see people's pictures. I'm itching with excitement. I love Yuha, but luckily he's a little too cute for my liking (though I really would love to just COLLECT Rosetta Dolls simply because I ADORE the style!) I think this company will have my soul/wallet as much as Iple and Crobi soon >.<
Please people, post pictures of your heads when they arrive! I would love to see any comparison you can do, it's always nice to have more information! I'm interested in super gem and ariadoll comparison even if it the color doesn't match
I would love to see any and all body comparisons, even if the resin doesn't match as it's always nice to see how the head fits on a particular body. I can't wait to see your Zios! I ordered mine blank, but he hasn't been shipped yet (not surprising, as I accidentally didn't complete my order until one of the last days of the order period, haha).
My Rosetta Doll Zio [Klaus] He is such a gorgeous sculpt and I love him so much I finished his faceup and he's borrowing Clove's body for photos Enjoy!! Klaus: First Photoshoot by Isa.Cat, on Flickr
Wow, IsaCat, he's so handsome! I especially love how you did his lower lashes! So gorgeous! Finally had a chance to take my boy out tonight. I think he looks quite different in person. Here are some blank shots of the head, in case anyone is curious. (Apologies for the bad lighting ; Going to do his faceup now and hopefully get those comparison shots done tomorrow!
Thank you, Gridbug Constance, can't wait to see the faceup! And I agree with the head looking different in person. When I first took out the blank head, I thought Rosetta sent me the wrong head But once I did the faceup and whipped out the camera, that's when I went, "a-ha!" He photographs beautifully
Thank you, Kimchi ^^ Klaus is wearing 14mm eyes (SC-001 By Makoeyes) I think the size works pretty naturally for his sculpt.
Rosetta-doll sent me a tracking number for Zio, finally, so everyone who ordered Zio with a faceup should be getting him soon. Crossing my fingers that his default faceup looks as good as it does in the company photos! >w< IsaCat - this is very late, but Klaus looks amazing! I love how long his eyelashes are, and how natural his faceup looks.
IsaCat - I can only post pictures of the default faceup. Sil isn't likely to get a body for a while; I don't even have his proper wig yet. (He's my first boy doll, I might be panicking a little. ^^") I think mine is arriving sometime next week too. Would love to see more photos and reviews as you guys get your dolls! Rosetta is such a new company, I think our feedback would really help.
Excuse the AWFUL eyes... but here is my Zio with his default face up. It's a LOT darker than I had expected which had... quite unexpected results character-wise. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/129/3/8/38564d1cf93b4bd3d3a49cbe175aec3e-d4z25y1.jpg SO... here's the story. This is NOT Charity. Not anymore apparently lol I had two arrivals here at the house today and they were my Zio and my IoS Anos. My characters have YET AGAIN surprised me! This head was meant to be for my character Charity - however, as I fiddled around with it and tried to style it, Yuujirou kind of claimed his head... yep. SO. Meet new!Yuuji... he's claimed my Zio. He was meant to be an IoS Anos... but sometimes life throws you curveballs. 8D Really pretty curveballs. He's on an SDF body here. I also had him on a DZ72cm body and he looked even better - but unfortunately Yuujirou isn't that tall. He'll be moved off to a POPOdoll body once it arrives here at the house. ^__^
omgoodness he is so gorgeous!! his facecup is so beautiful!! I think next time I will get Rosetta's faceup Very interesting how you changed the characters, but that happens with my dolls too. Sometimes you have to see the doll in person before you 100% decide the character. How is the resin and body match with the SDF body?
I'm actually not sure because both my SDF and my JDF bodies are yellowed and I photoshopped this one to match. HOWEVER my housemate has a brand spanking new JDF (received only two weeks ago). I will put his head on that body tomorrow and take a comparison shot for you! I'm pretty sure it's quite close to the unyellowed SDF/JDF And no it wasn't so much I switched them.. since I was pretty set on who they were - it just so happened I couldn't really style Charity right and I was getting pretty frustrated. By happenstance I tried Yuuji's wig on and well.. basically I couldn't see Charity anymore. Yuuji basically stole his head and instead of being who I wanted, my character chose this head instead of the Anos head I had for him XD;; There's just something about the face shape and eyes I think.. it just became Yuuji all on its own XDD
Ahh~ I see xD Well Yuuji looks great! I can't wait to see what else Rosetta comes up with! and yes thank you, I would appreciate the comparison ^^
Okay back with comparisons! This is on the JDF. He's SUPER bobble headed on it. But it's a perfect resin match in RL and photographed. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e135/gridbug/BJD/on-JDF.jpg This is on the DZ72. I love him on the broader body. It's much nicer than even SDF. I really think this is a head suited more to the 65+ to 70cm range of bodies rather than SD13. The resin match is a LOT more off IRL compared to this photo, but that said this is also a yellowed NS-Y body. You'd have better luck with an NS-P I believe? But don't quote me on that. Unfortunately I don't have an NS-P to compare it to and the DoT body I have is several years old and not that great for comparison, either. Anything that matches Luts SDF/SSDF/JDF normal will work though ^__^ http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e135/gridbug/BJD/on-dz72.jpg I hope this helped in some way?
Thanks gridbug. I'm really liking the Zio head, not that I need another floating head in my house. >_<
Welp, I was at class all day and missed the delivery, so I'll have to pick my Zio up from the post office some time tomorrow. @ gridbug: The default faceup is beautiful, but it does look darker than it did in the company photos. It's a surprise your doll plans did a complete turnaround, but that happens sometimes, and there's really not much you can do about it once they make up their minds. XD I love how you styled Yuuji, especially his grey eyes! And thanks for the comparison photos. I like the slender proportions on the DZ72. ^_^
Cloudedmind: glad I could help add something to your wishlist XDDDD Shien: I'm actually curious to see if your default is lighter. I think the main reason they did a turn around is because of the face up, to be honest. I couldn't really get Charity to come out through it like I thought I would based on the softer, lighter pictures I saw on Rosetta's site. However Yuuji isn't that soft and well... he seemed quite happy to take the head for his own XD I quite like the colour - but I hate the fact they're acrylics. I'm going to have to get some nice glass ones that colour for him. Like a steel blue colour. Also, I do love the proportions of him on a bigger body. To me, even on an SDF he looks a little big headed - which kind of irritates me, really XD I do have a POPO 63cm body that's on order for him and I'm wondering if the proportions might be out now. Then again, I do have other heads that can occupy that body if it doesn't work out so it's not that big of a problem. I'm quite tempted to get something like a DZ65, Spiritdoll Proud or SSDF for him actually. Even a Crobidoll MLine would really suit his proportions (I only have those bodies in tan though - but I did try it and it suits the face really well).
Thank you for the comparisons gridbug ^^ I got a Spiritdoll elegance body for him.. I hope the proportions arent off > .< maybe I'll order an extra body soon just in case.
IsaCat:The proportions on the SD13 bodies should probably be all right. Personally I lean towards dolls with a slightly smaller head-to-body proportions since that's my taste (like Iple etc). Though saying that, anything in an SD13 that doesn't quite have the shoulders might not carry the head off as well as intended (again - just my impression, really). I've not seen a spiritdoll elegance so I don't know if they're different to the SDF across the shoulders but I find that the SDF will work well with people who don't mind a slightly larger head or more stylised kind of doll. I'm looking forward to testing him out on the POPO 63 and 68 when they get to my doorstep. ^__^
I got faceup previews from the artist that that has my Zio on friday. I asked for a few minor changes, but when he's finished i'll show him here if anyone is intrested in seeing a non-default look? Did anyone else order Yuha, out of curiosity? I had to get one. Seeing Zio first would have been my preference, but I went ahead anyway. I'm a sucker for those droopy 'tareme' eyes.
Argh, why did I come to this thread? x'D gridbug, your boy looks AMAZING, especially with that blue wig! I've been drooling over Zio for a couple of weeks now, and I feel so horrible for missing out on him. But I also like Harpas (not that much of a fan of Yuha), so I'm going to keep an eye on this company and see what other gorgeous heads they will release
Wow, gridbug, your boy is so handsome! I didn't expect Zio to be able to pull off unnatural hair colors, too! :O I know I said I'd get comparison pics up, but work and school ended up getting crazier than I thought. Sorry about that, hopefully I'll have some downtime this weekend to do the comparisons! ;;;; I just finished my Zio's faceup the other night. Still need to try wigs on him ;;
Did comparisons with SDGr, SD17, DoD DoT, and Soom Super Gem today. Will do Ariadoll 18 and SD13 tomorrow. On NS SDGr. Good proportion. On DoT. Sorry about the clothes, this outfit takes too much effort to remove. ;; The neck is a bit too long and a little bobble-headed. http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/8684/mg1099.jpg On NS SD17. Perfect resin match, and I like this proportion for him. http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/2008/mg1104.jpg On WS Soom Super Gem. The neck is a little long, but the proportion of head to body is good. http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/282/mg1119y.jpg Zio surprisingly has a very good range of head mobility on all these bodies! :O No problems looking up, down, left, right~
Here's my Zio with the finished faceup~! It's a very different look to the default: Rossetta doll 'Zio' by cosmosuchu, on Flickr He has a smattering of freckles across his cheecks, and you can't see it clearly in this photo but the artist painted little veins on his cheeks and temples. I love him in the blue eyes, he looks so intense! My Yuha (blank) arrived a week or two ago as well - he's surprisingly masculine in person (or prehaps, boyish is a better word to use) very very nice sculpt. Rossetta also told me on their Q&A board that they will be releasing a new head this month (June). These guys work at lightning speed! I'm very curious to see what it ends up looking like.
Constance, your boy is very intense! And Sillypeach, the blue eyes you chose for your guy are really striking!
Constance, really like the turquoise eyes with your faceup! Sillypeach, looks AMAZING, I can't imagine how hard it was to draw all the veins and such. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8155/7455977786_09e39a7333.jpg Klaus got his body! [SpiritDoll Elegance Body] It's slightly too small in my opinion. I think he would look better in 68cm+ body =] I have another body coming [Sadol STAR70 Body] so I will post pictures when that one arrives.
Isacat, he's really cute >< I checked the Rosetta doll website today to see that everything has ben taken down and replaced with a single image. "Memoria line' - I wonder what this means?
