Hello, My dolls finally arrived! I had a Supia old DJ doll body for a different doll, then ordered the new 65cm doll and had to buy another head, plus I got the dreaming Rosy head, and finally, my daughter got Eunice on the old single jointed body. Because I got the extra head, I decided to give it to the supiadoll body I have already. Anyway, so it was like 3 dolls arriving. Unfortunately, I noticed there is a string loose inside my Hamin's body (old DJ body) so I only took some face pictures. Looks like I'll have to restring. Not sure what happened?? So anyway, I would first like to introduce my daughter's Eunice. Eunice is an elf monk. Her clothes need a bit of adjustment, but I think she looks pretty good in her outfit. Eunice has a tight bun in the back of her head because that's practical My daughter doesn't like my sexy outfit for my cleric because she thinks it's impractical, LOL. Anyway, I tried to give her some MA poses: I really think she's pretty, my daughter thinks she looks "serious" My daughter said this didn't look like a martial arts move, LOL Hopefully I was more successful with this second shot? Next up is my Dreaming Rosy. I got her in Tan, and she's so pretty IMO Here she is casting healing wounds She has the new body, and I need to do a review of it too But I need more time than I had this afternoon/evening. It took so long just to free these girls from their cocoon! LOL But here is one, where Rosy is lounging on the ground: She looks pretty slim in the waist here but I think her upper body was twisted a little. I do like this body a lot actually. I think it's way prettier in person than in pictures. Finally, Hamin is here. She is wearing a hat they sent with my daughter's doll. The wig isn't so great on her, it makes her look flat headed. I have the perfect wig for her though, as the one my iplehouse Grace is wearing is way too fluffy on top for her. I think it'll round out Hamin's head nicely and another one here: Finally, a lot of us noticed that supia's sculptures seem to have no chin depth. This is true. Of these three, Hamin is the worst. But as another member said, most bjd's don't look great in profile, which is probably why not too many people take a real profile photo of their dolls, however I'm happy to show what these three girls look like in profile. Really, when playing with them, I don't mind or notice it at all. But anyway, here are the 3 profiles I can offer:
And finally last profile (didn't fit ;P ) Oh, and BTW, the new 65cm body was super easy to stand and stood like a rock for me
Thanks for the picture and review! I think I may need the 65cm body in the future. Hamln is adorable. I was never too sure about her.
Thanks @nancy_schroeder_ca I hope I can get more pictures taken soon. Need to fix that loose chord I see in her body. I think she's about to fall apart, LOL. I think I managed to lose it from the neck!
congrats on getting your girls! they all do look lovely. that tan is super gorgeous, too. i look forward to more pictures!
Congratulations on the arrival! It's great to see your pictures, especially their profiles. I think the hair color looks great with Rosy's skin tone.
Thanks everyone. I do need to set up a table to do a real body review (table because I'm old, and doing this stuff on the ground is just too hard, LOL) @Winnie99 Yes, she's the new tan She is lighter than iplehouse light brown, and closer to but a bit darker, and browner, than Fairyland tan. Fairyland tan seems pinker and a tad lighter, of course you wouldn't think of pink/reds in there if they weren't right next to each other. It's so similar that I would think blushing a FL head to match the Supia body would be rather easy??
Glad they all arrived safe and sound! And it looks like I'm getting the same hat in my order too it's so cute! Loving the cleric outfit, impractical maybe but very striking And thanks for the comparison profile photos, they really show the differences.
Great photos and information IngieBee. Love all the girls and the tan is beautiful. I hope to see more of the girls in the dicussion thread as your projects progress. Thanks again and congratulations to you and your daughter on these beauties.
Thanks for looking everyone I hope to find more time to take more photos, and especially, I would like to do a posing comparison
I love how excited you seem to be about them My favorite is the cleric and I think the sexy outfit is fitting to get new recruits and to get more worshippers in the temple The body looks nicer yes it looked a bit thick like iplehouse woman EID on the website and I like that the skin looks like real olive skin like mine now lol I saw that most dolls have not realistic look tan skin
Thank you @Puppenfieber and @GreenTeaSlug Boy Howdy I have been gone 2 days with no time to pop in here
LOL, although it looks like leather, it's actually cloth, so maybe I should make her a Sorcerer, LOL.
Congratulations on the arrival of new dolls, they are beautiful. Thanks for the photos and review, it's interesting to look at the profile of the dolls.
Wow! she is really gorgeous! May I know how much you paid for her? I am a newbie and currently researching so I can purchase my very first bjd. I would like some advise if you an give me. Congratulations by the way.
Hi @Scarlet Grimm Thank you Supia dolls start around $490 to $595 without a faceup. If you are new to the hobby and want to try something less expensive, but also very nice, I suggest you check out the Impldoll Idol and Star line bodies. They have some amazing sculpts and are still a hidden gem. You can get free shipping at Clover-Singing, but you'll probably have to ask them for the doll you want, as they don't have much up. It seems they add to the site on a request basis. Look up owner pictures on google images, but some of my favorites are Lydia, Aurora, Alma, Sophia ... oh my, so many pretty girls, Crystal is a subtle vampire Warning, they are big girls. My Star Alma is as tall as the biggest Supia 64cm body doll, and Idol is even bigger. With normal or white skin, these dolls are $330 for a Star size and $380 for Idol size doll. But I will admit that the resin is prettier on Supia and as far as their biggest doll, the new 65cm or so, she poses beautifully. I really like her!
Thank you so much for the kind advise, @IngieBee I really appreciate it because I am new, right now, I only own a Night Lolita but I have been interested in BJDs since 7 years ago when I was only around 16 to 17. I'm already in my 20's, working, and I am saving up but also researching for a really beautiful doll. I prefer 60cm, female, body is easy to pose and can stand without being flimsy, and my budget is around $300 to $450 as of the moment. I will follow you by the way.
Yes, and it also depends on the aesthetics that you like. I have always liked realism, but was charmed by Fairyland's cute big eyed dolls too. I kind of see the girls at Supia as on the realistic side, which may not be what you like?? There are so many companies out there now too, and I don't even know most of them! Boy when I started with these dolls, it was all Anime looking, now the looks are seriously endless! With monsters aliens, sugar sweet, true to life animals, I mean, everything you can think of is out there! It's amazing!
I understand and I am really overwhelemed in a positive way. Although I am more of a simple side. With regards to Fairyland, they have the ultimate doll that I really really dream of having, sadly it's sold out a long time ago. It's called Fairyland Red ridinghood steampunk. minifee body and risse head. I really wanted it so I am looking to purchase a doll similar to that since, like I said, it's sold out hahaha I do love the cute big eyed dolls.
They're all beautiful! Supia's tan is really lovely. But oh my goodness HAMIN!!!!! She's absolutely perfect, which I wouldn't have guessed that from Supia's stock photos. She looks so genuinely overjoyed to be sitting in the sun with her cute hat!
Thank you @fishcakes I agree, @jaderose, the new Supia tan is just beautiful! I love Hamin, she's sitting on my shelf next to me right now and is always so happy! how can you not love that smile!?!? LOL She still need eyes though, which are on order. The ones she has are such dark brown and the iris is so large, she looks like her eyes are all black, LOL. But her new eyes should get here somewhat soon I hope! @Scarlet Grimm do take your time and think about it, but if Fairyland or Supia, or Iplehouse or any other expensive doll becomes your love, I suggest waiting and saving longer and getting what you love and not mess about with something "second choice" . It'll probably save you money in the long run
Thank you, @Kyu Himitsu ,That outfit was made by @Katushka_Nitok on ebay Etsy and I've got to say she makes amazing costumes/outfits. Not cheap but well worth the cost! (Katushka Style or something like that)
