Heaps of Dolls for January!
Sorry for the long absence, holidays make for limited posting time, though it was filled with a wonderful array of resin. We not only had it come to visit us (some longer than others, I still have three heads waiting for paint), but some of it came home to stay.

There's four cut texts here, but I'm warning you now, there's a massive ton of pictures in this post. It may take a while to load. You might want to make a sandwich, or perhaps learn Sanskrit. Also, I am a perfectionist, my camera and bedroom lighting is more of an avant garde collective. Rarely do we agree on the outcome of our collaborations. The greenish yellow color shift is not indicative of resin color, just of the fact that I should only shoot pictures outside, in the sunshine.



These fellas belong to jana and hurricane rave. But they are always welcome here, as I like to paint them and clothe them and take pictures of them in secret when their owners have gone to bed. .....Uh. Ha Ha! ^_^;


awww.


meanwhile, Spider is a Rock Star.


and he knows it.


Haelee is content with being the Cute One.


and some others just turn up when they're told to and hold still and hope maybe it'll be over soon.


He thinks he's doing serious work.



Spider looks like he's feeling up the monkey to see if it's fat enough to eat yet. I'm worried that Rama is doing the same, in vain. (I keep slipping donuts in his bento boxes! nothing works! Convinced now he is an alien. Or a vampire. Or an alien vampire. unless Gackt already did that one.)











(Iz was hard to paint. ^^;;;)






Issachar Fado (Char) is a resinsoul tan song. He is small and wide eyed and wonderful and I love him embarrasingly much.


His hair will be arriving sometime in the next month or two, along with the last big box we're going to get for a while. (unless the birthday fairy sends me a blue merboy from Resinsoul, who I would not turn away at the door. *_*) This wig is temporary. again, color disparity=camera, he is a really beautiful chai latte color all over. Very creamy. I can't say enough good about this company.


Ginkgo (gink) was a free Yu as part of resinsoul's New Year promo. Yes. Free. With faceup and eyes and bag. *_* Her wig is in the mail as well, and it is shamelessly pink. She'll have it in big rave ball ponytails in no time.


Vltava (tava) is a white resinsoul Ju. Her ears are fantastic, and her hair is green. None of the clothes I had made ahead of time fit her. Oops. Once I get her something to put on, I will take more shots.

And oh, yeah. We ordered these dolls new from the company and they had them to our door in under three weeks. They come with free bags. The dolls are fully sanded. The resin is lightweight, but sturdy and not thin, and there are no air bubbles or flaws that I've found. They are strung loose to ship and are not posemobiles, but the sculpture of them is beautiful. You can get them in zany colors like pink and green, and the basic faceups are very nice, and $10. they have magnetic headcaps, but no s-hooks in feet and hands, being strung directly. They're also very affordably priced. Because they are not easy posers, and because their sizing is a little off from standard MSD, I don't know that I would proclaim them ideal first dolls. They do have some sculpt quirks, but I don't find them a detraction in any way. As far as I'm concerned, they are excellent quality for the price, great first-mod projects, and just the thing if you want a dolly treat that won't put you back a grand. They were our christmas present to each other, and I couldn't be more pleased with them. Even feisty little Gink, who I had no idea I'd like so much.





I wanted to take a bunch of pictures of Issachar to show how pretty his sculpt is. Resinsoul dolls often get lumped in with bobobie (which has different sculpts and faceups, but the same casting facility and resin colors), so I wanted to show off the RS body some. Especially his knees and the backs of his hands and his perfect ears and--

er.

well, because the light gave him a blotchy yellow cast, I made these shots sepia. It shows off the sculpt better and does not make him have green skin and yellow hair. But I don't know, something about his skinniness and his huge eyes and being on the bed (my best backdrop), he looked a little um, underage in most of the shots. ^_^; So please bear in mind as a character, he is of legal elf age. ^_^;;;;;


















(and this is the only picture that turned up in proper natural colors.)


There, at last! I am done. Aren't you glad!


In other news, the old doll site is no longer and all the pictures are down. We're working on a new one!

Oh man, everyone's so pretty! The resinsouls all have such great builds and expressive faces. I mean, Issachar looks waifish and then smirky and then alert and listening all in those pictures.

...it's posts like these that remind me of why I skulk about the doll sites every now and then. :skulk skulk hocrap Feng and Long both look beautiful. ;_; :

I was afraid Issachar was going to look worried all the time, he has an uncertain faceup! But he was downright coy by the end of the shoot. ^___^

ahahha well, they're great to order from! Even though, the order form on the website didn't submit right, so all we did was email them to the addy on the website with what we wanted, and they were very helpful and quick to answer and processed our paypal superfast.

I've seen some owner pics of their taller boys on DoA, and they look lovely. Delicate and fey.

I want a blue jun, so I can stick him in a mer-tail and put beads in his hair. ^^;;

I could see that. He kind of looked that way in the first few, but once he got to the posed ones? Yeah. :)

And yes, god, with those ears? Merman all the way. :)

And their little tinies are adorable! Sometimes I find the tinies strange-looking...something about the way some companies do their eyes. But they're so cute!

I've been sitting here gushing aloud to Emily about how great you in general make and have made our kids look. Seriously, not just their faceups, but the photographic care taken towards their personalities is so so so heartwarming, and great, and eeee. These look like glamor shots!! The one of the three of them together is freaking amazinnnng. ♥♥♥

Those elves are SO FREAKING CUTE. :DDD

Aww, well, you know I lurve the boyos. I took like 90 jillion pictures but sadly, very few of them came out that night. ;_; Actually, more of Spider's came out than any of the other two or the group shots I tried, so here is his extra one, in which he entreats you to stop in the name of love. Or maybe he's doing a jedi mind whammy. something.




I did a whole lot more of up-the-nose on these guys than usual, because I was going for that rock band thing. You know. Had I the space they would all have been standing at intervals along a subway platform, staring off pensively in different directions.

\m/

Ah, I'm so elf-smitten. He's our very first tan doll! Because they were affordable, we didn't have to compromise on one, so we each got one doll just as we pleased. I've always wanted a tan elf, and he has the sweetest little face and I love the body sculpt. ♥ ♥ ♥ He has a snow-white wig coming from DoD along with Tzeitel. ^___^ I want to give him hoop earrings high up on his ears, too. Just glued on, probably.

Icon because 'Fado' is one of the sages in Wind Waker, and Char is sort of a Link-homage.

Oh what a wonderful crew :)...although I have to admit I'm biased.

I have to agree with you about the Resinsouls (or their cousins Bobobie) that while their posing is a bit squirrely they have surprisingly lovely facial sculpts ~ and as you said, excellent for first mod projects. I'm really new to this and my poor Su (Bobobie Ariel) was my first time re-stringing and doing a full face-up etc....the poor thing being a complete guineapig ,but it wasn't as daunting as taking part something in a higher snack bracket.

*pets little fire element*

I just did a quick count of my herd (here or on order) and just realized that Resinsouls are like potato chips ...apparently you can't have just one. >D

Your Ariel is so sweet in your icon! ♥ I got a dremel for Christmas and I'd really like to do ear piercing, but even on Char, I'm nervous! But not as nervous as I'd be doing it on, you know, our hound. O___O (lol snack bracket! I can just imagine a dolly vending machine.)

These dolls are so nice and I see them getting such a poor rap all the time. Which, you know, more for us! I can't really say I really really long for a doll at the moment, because we kind of had all our doll wishes come true last year, but if I had a spare couple hundred, I expect there would be more shipments coming our way from China.

Haelee is so adorable! =O What doll is he (she? plz don't shoot me).
It totally doesn't help that they stole my name. x3

And I agree with the Boboboie/Resinsoul comments. I want a Weylin and a Song and an An and a Mei and an Ariel...and the list goes on and on. >>;
I shall have me a small collection if BB/RS drow. Yesss.

Haelee is a he, and he's my Ninodoll Bada. ♥ [info]alorian did his faceup so she's responsible for much of his adorable.

Haelee is a pile o' cuteness, that is for sure. ^__^ His name is also sort of my name! Only backwards and minus a few Es.

Right now, the only thing keeping us from ordering more RSes is the fact that we live in a very small place, and I'm not sure where any extra dolls would sit. We've got a DoT Shall incoming and I think she might just have to make use of someone's lap. (Not really a problem, since we've already got her husband, and I think he'd be glad to do that.)
