Resin Comparison Some brown resin comparisons (Luts, Little Monica, Bluefairy, Souldoll, Withdoll, Volks)

Nov 7, 2021

    1. Here's a little comparison of various brown dolls. None of them match but personally I love the resulting variety :love. Quite a few of them were limited skin colors so they aren't necessarily readily available.

      I've included basic NS and WS dolls for comparison as well because most people are more familiar with these resin colors.

      Lineup:

      As anyone that's ever photographed brown dolls can tell you it is very hard to capture the true resin color especially the red undertones.I noticed the exact same goes for WS dolls. The Little Monica WS has a very clear pinkish undertone which gets just as lost on pictures *_*. I feel like NS and WS also photograph differently but because we are so used to these resin colors our brain already knows how to interpret the colors on pictures.
      Regardless I tried to match the colors as close to the real life color as possible.

      Personally I love how different the available brown resins are but it comes with it's own challenges. I've learned to always order all available extra parts ;).

    2. Oh this is so incredibly useful! Thank you so much for sharing this. I just adore the rosy brown from Luts :love
       
    3. Funnily that was actually the skin tone I was most disappointed with. In the beginning I really didn't like how red/purple she was. It looked very unnatural to me. Absolutely not what I had expected. She was only my second brown doll and it was a bit of bad luck that she doesn't look good next to my first brown doll (KDF Kale in tan from Luts, the one on the right). They bring out each others undertones when you put them next to each other. Rosy brown becomes almost purple and the tan looks very olive.

      But I spend a lot of time with her and I have found that while there are some colors that just don't suit her (red and pink) she looks stunning in warm greens and blue. And mentally I have accepted and embraced her red/purple undertones as one of the many variations of brown skin tones.

    4. Rosy brown from luts reminds me of soft choco from LM, but soft choco is darker and more purple. I just got a Laura head in soft choco and sent out for make up so I won’t see her for few months. Owner photos of the soft choco dolls all look so nice, and luckily Laura is the head I want to have sooner or later.

      Personally I like cool tone resin so I always go for cool brown. I’m debating over the cocoa cream because the resin looks brown red to me under broad daylight. And I have so many unfinished dolls plus no space to display so I’m not sure I want to keep her atm. Am thinking to wait till Christmas and see if LM has an event skin I like.

      Closest matches IRL: Granado and RS tans (but RS is lighter); IH special real and RD sweet mocha (but RD is slightly redder), Dika Doll and Impl Doll tans (but Dika Doll is slightly redder); Impl Doll Real and Iplehouse Special Real - almost perfect match.

    7. Very helpful! Seems as Luts is still a good suggestion people have said about offering darker skin tones for their dolls. The tan looks amazing and considering getting a body from them as well in that tone.
