Volks SD boys -- Not as popular as SD13 boys?

I may be completely wrong but I'm under the impression that SD13 boys are... new and improved designs that sit and stand better? ops:

My boy is a SD10. I fell in love with his face, so I had to have him. (I think G has a rather mature face for a SD10.) But I realize that owning a SD10 boy has its setbacks. The most frustrating of which is the relative inavailability of clothes! :cry: SD10 girls still have lots of clothes to choose from but SD10 boys... I can't even find more than 1 or 2 outfits on Yahoo!Japan. Sometimes there are none at all. :cry:

G has a non-jointed body, which I love. He can stand just fine but he won't sit unless his back is being supported. ops: But I love him very much and I wouldn't give him up for a SD13. :grin:

Afterthought: I wonder if a jointed SD10 torso allows for easier posing...?

 

I don't know how a SD10's knees compare with other dolls, especially with a SD13's, because G is the only doll I have. But you can see G's knees here. ops:

 

That's an SD13 and an SD10 with a jointed torso =)

 

yeah my boy is SD10 sized... impossible to find him clothing! T_T

 

I think someone on this forum actually has an SD13 with an SD10's nonjointed torso. I really like the look of the SD10's body, but I haven't the faintest idea how I could get just the SD10 torso and not the rest of it. Plus, the limbs might look a little too big, for the torso, and hinder the original proportions -- especially 'cause my Valerius is supposed to be taller. x3;

 

i know fyredancer changed her syo to have an sd10 torso with sd13 joints.

That would be us. =D We put our Syo on an SD10 torso, then put his SD13 arms and legs back on.

We bought an SD10 body, headless, off E-bay for $350. When the body arrived, Kuwamiko put Syo's head on it, and his arms and legs looked horribly stubby. An SD13 head on an SD10 body definitely looked disproportionate. (I think the SD10 heads are smaller? But I've seen some SD10 heads, such as Kun, that look great on a 13 body, so I think it depends on the head.)

So we took off all his SD10 limbs, and replaced the limbs with the SD13 limbs.



You can see from this leg joint comparison that the difference is not that great, for the thigh itself. The SD13 limb (the one attached to the body) has a bigger ball. This is a little more unsightly, but it helps him pose better. When Shouta was on the SD10 body with the SD10 limbs, he kept flopping over. Once we replaced the limbs, he was much easier to pose because the bigger ball joints lock with the torso when he's sitting.



The difference between the arms is HUGE. Like I said, they looked stubby. But this was with an SD13 head. I've seen Brightangel's SD10 Kyotenshi, Avery, in person and he didn't look stubby at all. It was just Shouta's bigger head that made it look all disproportionate. So we replaced his arms, too.

The result, voila: ...I don't think it looks bad at all, though his shoulders are a bit broad.

 

I really love your Shoutaro, Fyredancer!
Maybe I'll also get a Sho, some day!

 

Thank you Barbara! We've invested a lot of time and love in the little guy, so he's really special to our family.

 

I think many people like a more mature look for larger dolls, so they prefer SD13. I am actually considering getting an SD boy too, though, I think they're cute. And I see it as a good thing that they can share some clothes with SD10 girls!

I found a site that has a comparison between an SD13 boy (F-17) and a SD boy (F-19) w/a jointed torso and the long leg option, but it says "no direct linking" on the other pages so I won't post it here, you can PM me though if you'd like it.

 

*jaw hits floor* I didn't know they made a jointed Sd10 body.... *wants*

 

There really is a huge size difference between the SD10 and SD 13. I was sewing for my boys yesterday and AMAZINGLY - except for the length - the trousers fit both boys - and I am talking fairly fitted trousers.
I will post some pictures within the hour.

I have the same boy as you shimmering cat...a beautiful Michelle!

 

Waaah! I just came from looking around your site and your Dominique is lovely! :grin: When I have the budget, I may commission shirts and stuff because poor G has hardly any clothes to wear. :cry:

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh my web page..LOL... well I had all good intentions of fixing it and updating.. but its like a lot of good plans!!

But my son is urging me now.. and he has sort of taken over designing a new page.. I will just have to supply the photos and content.. so it MIGHT get done!

I have just finished this outfit.. It was originally made for Dominque/SD10/Michele... and the only difference is the length of the trousers.. he has exactly the same ones.. just a wee bit shorter - I didnt alter my pattern anywhere else. I was surprised!
The sleeve are shorter on the jacket on SD13.. but that was by design so the cuffs of the shirt hang down.




Rest of the pics are here.. in various stages of undress... I will try to take some pics of this on a SD 10 body.. so you can compare.

Look at his body and tell me why we love sd13 boys!




hee. no disrespect to SD10 boys, but SD13 boys have SUCH HOT abs....

Or maybe not enough people post SD10 boys and their bodies.... *nudges shimmeringcat* more semi-nekkid shots please!!! *grins and rubs hands greedily*

Unnamed Heath: Could you get me a gym membership at Souldoll? They look like they have fantastic trainers....

(uh oh.... XD)

 

LOL! I think I take too many topless shots of G already! But I guess this one's good for an encore...



SD10 boys can be hot too. :grin:

 

OH YEAH

Can we have another gathering so that I can drool over him in person again?

 

Sure. :grin: I just need to get over this horrible flu (or possibly lung infection) first.

*apologizes to Mandiiv for the inadvertent hijacking of thread* :cry:

 

I prefer the SD10 torso for aesthetics, but the SD13 does pose better.
But no way is anyone going to convince me that the SD10 boys don't have gorgeous stomachs!

 

*gasps*

It's that Kiriko Moth again! The one whose sexy-cool-gorgeous pictures of August and Arsenii (on LanternLost ) made me so obsessed with BJDs that I had to have one too. I don't know whether to thank you or smack you. :grin:

I agree wholeheartedly! SD10s have very appealing torsos. Makes me want to rub their tummies all the time.

Just won an Avvelenato customized F16 head on Y!J and now I'm in a dilemma and don't know whether to get a SD10 or SD13 body for it.

Another SD10 body would be great and would match G in height but I've heard that the SD13 body poses better. G doesn't sit unless his back is supported. I don't know if this is an inherent issue or if he just needs re-stringing. (I'm a re-stringing virgin. I'm just not ready to take G apart. )

Also, if he's a SD10 like G, they can share clothes. Then again, it's so difficult to find SD10 clothes (compared to the gorgeous garments for SD13s that I see all the time on Y!J ) and I cannot sew to save my life. :cry:

 

DID YOU!! I saw that one Cant wait to see him.

Hmm.. hard to say.. but I THINK he might look better on the SD13 body... size wise.. they really are VERY different. I dont think I have a pic of my two standing together.. but the SD13 dwarfs the SD10.. and Michelles head is really tiny.

 

You were a quick convert, too! That journal has only been up for a few months.

I learned about them years ago and only late last year finally got one. Then I went a bit crazy...

The SD10 not sitting is inherent. I'm toying with the idea of shaving August's hip sockets so that he can sit properly.
I'd suggest putting the F-16 on an SD13 body, simply because it's so darn big.

August wears SD13 clothes all the time. But then, I like shirts with overly long sleeves.

 

I agree.. I was amazed at how well they do fit SD10's!! They LOOK at lot bigger round the waist.. but surprisingly the trousers (if they are firm fittin on sd13) fit SD10 well!! Obviously if they are loose on SD13.. they will be on SD10 too. I just found the length of things the "difference".. and if the style has sleeves that are pulled in at the cuff.. its ok.. the sleeves just appear fuller. The trouser may need taking up or turning under.. but thats minor.

 

It's going to be a while! I'm going to take my time getting the body (budget for June is broken so I have to wait for July) and I might let the head stay with my deputy until I've gotten a hold of the body so they can ship together. :grin:

That reminds me! Last time I met Evildolly, she put one of her Wing fur wigs on G and commented that he has a very small head. ops: I guess I'm leaning towards getting a SD13 body now. ops:

Despite my Elderly Person looks, I have the mind of a child... it's highly impressionable. ops: It doesn't help that my guiding principle in life is "When faced with temptation, give in quick, because you never know when it'll come your way again." :wink:

Roger that! Thank you for the confirmation. Let me know if you do shave August's hip sockets (is it just me or does that sound intriguingly erotic? ) and if that helps him to sit better.

Now to look at which SD13 body would be a good one... is there any SD13 body that I should be wary of? I know I'd want to avoid getting one with long legs. So no Heath, Tohya, Kohya or Isao bodies.

*sprains the brain trying to think*

Mandiiv, I'm not hijacking your thread, am I? :cry:
