Anyone else stoked about Abyssia and Whale Tower's future works in general? My friend, who isn't much of a doll person, fell in love with her along with me. She's very unique.
I really like to see such unique sculpts. It's really refreshing! I am excited to see what comes in the future and I really hope they are just as amazing. The (octopus?) gal was lovely, and I really hope they stick to such a fantasy style.
I’m going to be on the look out for an unboxing of this doll. I’m in love with the octopus body, and love to see a video of the different posing capabilities of it.
Yeah, I honestly like weird fantasy dolls a lot more frequently than just like, regular human ones, if that makes sense. Maybe I suffer from a bit of face blindness, but after a while, most company's sculpts tend to look the same to me unless they're doing something really weird with it, whether it be a strange expression or adding horns or even a bit of asymmetry.
Heh, maybe I'll take that video for you when she arrives. I am extremely invested in her poseability as she is intended for a stop motion project.
Please do! I would love to see her, I considered picking her up because the body is amazing, but she is definitely out of my price range for now.
If I recall, her third eye is to the tune of 20-22 mm. Also, she is proportioned like an MSD but is nonetheless about 55 cm tall.
Hello! Just reviving this thread to see if there’s a waiting room for this bjd. I ordered her body for a hybrid and I’m really hoping to hear if anyone has heard any shipping news. ♥︎
Hey, I recently messaged BJDivas and they said that they're shipping in a month or so, at which point it may take upwards of 4 months to arrive because of the COVID and shipping issues of China (or as little as a month to ship, if we want to be optimists).
I went through Cloversinging and I haven’t even asked her yet. I’ll compare shipping time notes when I finally ask. I got the body without the head. I haven’t decided which head I’m going for but I’m fairly certain that Dollpamm’s heads for skinny bodies will work. I have one I can try! I have mostly mature MSDs to try out. But it’s also pretty likely I’ll talk to Batchixdolls to see if we can work something out with one of her printed heads. Once I know the head, I’ll be able to decide how much I need to mod the neck.
Ughhhhh! I completely forgot to say thank you! Thank you for letting me know what you heard from BJDivas!
I’ve seen articulated octopus bjd before, but not one like this. One of the other big Chinese companies put out a bigger boy with an octopus body, but Abyssia was first! I’m excited for our girls/theys/boys! (Haven’t decided if I’m modding the chest or not.)
Hello there! Abyssia has already started shipping to people that bought her directly from Whale Tower! I’ve asked my dealer about when mine will ship. I’ll let you know what she says, but it sounds like it’s time to start looking for unboxing videos!
Exciting! Someone sent photos of the head in a discord server I'm in, so I'll be keeping an eye out for it.
It’s Friday here and she’s on her way to a regional sorting post office. Since I had her posted to my work office, she probably will end up arriving at the library (where I work) on Monday. That’s probably Sunday for you! By the way, I’m u4bik on Instagram. If you’re on Instagram (or even tumblr) let me know. I hope your Abyssia comes home to you soon!
I did post pictures and the unboxing on my Instagram. I posted to stories, but made a highlight on my profile page so you won’t miss anything! @u4bik on IG.
I’ve been trying clothes on her: Slim MSD (minifee): too big but will slide over her back tentacle. Fashion MSD like Iplehouse FID: a bit better but her back tentacle is in the way. MonsterHigh: Too small, nope! Rainbow High: almost worked, but too small. Raouken MSD corset: No, but interesting potential. Barbie: Hooded tops work! Her back tentacle slips through the hole in the back. I think swimsuit tops or backless tops could work well. I’m in the middle of handweaving a beaded bikini top for her. I hope other Abyssia owners find this thread so we can see more clothing options.
I missed out on the pre-order for her, but BJDivas kindly worked with me to get one of the extra ones directly from Whale Tower! She's on layaway, so it'll be a while before she comes home, but I am very excited for her. Thank you for sharing all the info/unboxing pics & video, @xylene!
