My DollZone Minas head arrived yesterday from Dolk, but missing any certificates and proper box, which made me wonder if she really was the genuine article. Never the less, I am pleased with the head and the face-up, though I shall be changing the eyes and wig at some point.
Verity will not be staying on this body either, I was impatient to see how this head fitted on Nadia's Luts Delf body. The neck size was quite a good fit, but the colour match of the Dollzone Yellow skin with Luts Real Skin Normal is way off, so I went looking at the resins I had on hand and am considering using an Impldoll Young Girl body (46cm tall) in Real skin. It is not perfect, but it isn't a bad match either and it's a reasonable price.
Having never been a fan of large breasted dolls, I think on the Young Girl body she will make a fine younger steampunk sister for Felicity, who is almost ready to be shown.
Well that's about all my dolly news for now. Hope you are all well and happy, I will now go catch up with reading all your blogs. :)
Hello Sandy,
ReplyDeleteThe features in her face a re striking! She is a great doll.
Big hug

Hi Giac,
DeleteHee hee, looks like your brain was far in advance of your fingers today. I gather you meant to say "really striking"?
Thanks, I think so too. :)

I love her bold face up. I think it will suit well to the steampunk theme you have chosen for her. Trying to match resin is always a bit of a pain. Hope it goes well for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alasse. I am pretty sure I will go with the Impldoll RS body as it's the closest I could find and the neck size is perfect. Unfortunately if I go ahead with the Hippogriff and the boy order from FL, it will have to wait a little while.

She has nice eyes, Xanadu, but you say you'll change them, what do you have in mind? Do you have an idea for her wig too? I am with you on small breasted girls too, I don't like mature bodies, I just find them too 'grown up' for my taste, and I don't like bothering with darts on clothes! LOL I'm so lazy!

Hi Sharon, I find these eyes a little too in my face, but I haven't decided on what I will replace them with yet. As far as the wig goes, I am thinking maybe a Monique Gold Paige, as I need her to be able to wear the hat I've already made.
DeleteI don't mind doing the darts, but it is easier to make clothes without doing all the fittings to get them in the right place. :) To be honest, I just think the large breasts on some dolls look abnormally huge!

Ohh I hope you solve the certificate thing. Was she second hand? she is very pretty, her face is very unique, love the lips!
ReplyDeleteNo Alejandra, I ordered her new with default face up from Dolk Station. I have no intention of ever selling her, so I am not too fussed and far to lazy to bother hassling them. :)

Hello Xanadu! Such a pretty little face, love her nose! :D Hope that you receive the certificate later on, even if you have plans to ever selling her. Happy Summer! Hugs! <3
ReplyDeleteHi Niina,
DeleteThank you. I'm not going to stress over a certificate, it's not a real problem, as I love the head.
It's winter here and cold, so I could use your summer warmth. :)

She is really gorgeous!! Hope you can get the certificate and all.
ReplyDeleteThe body you chose is so pretty (remember that Impldoll does custom match if you send them a piece to compare!), I can't wait to see the sisters together :D
Thanks Musume. Yes, I had read that somewhere, but I'm happy enough with the RS and don't want waste money on shipping when I need to restock the piggy bank just to pay for the body as it is. That FL order for the hippogriff and RF boy, set me back a pretty penny with the current lousy conversion rate!!

Hi Sandi!
ReplyDeleteCongrats for this new head, her features are unique and I think it would look really nice as a steampunk girl. I like the colour of her eyes, maybe you could use them in another doll.
Neither I like huge breasts. In some dolls they look pretty artificial, as if they would have made a plastic surgery XD
Greetings ^^
Thank you so much Lily! I will probably use the eyes on another doll, but they were not right for Verity. I think she will suit something in a light brown or a more violet blue once she has the right wig and is dressed. Yes, I know what you mean, they look like they are so artificial, not natural at all.
