#napidoll normal

[bjdinfo]

I’m desperate for a good resin comparison for tan skins, especially Impldoll’s Tan and Brown skins. Do you know of any? Also, are there any good resin matches for Mia Pink Skin?

Impldoll Tan

From 2018:

From 2016:

Could not find many good sources for Impldoll brown, except for this one. Can try to do more digging, but photos may be scarce. :(

-

Mia Pink resin matches:

Dollmore Normal - looks very close!

Huajing Doll - looks very close!

Guard Love Normal Pink

Dollzone/Doll Chateau Normal Pink - a little darker than Mia pink

Napidoll - a bit more yellowish than Mia

Possibly Dikadoll/2D Doll Pink

(Can keep looking for more matches...)

(I wanted to share a visual without stealing the original owner’s picture, so I took a screenshot from their Weibo. XD;; Part of me is wondering what difference that makes, but anyway…)  (如果您是ElementDoll的人形师，并且不希望我在Tumblr上分享您的图片，请告诉我，我将立即删除)

ElementDoll is running a pre-order for their six 1/6 scale heads!  To find them, just search “ElementDoll” on Taobao.  Pre-order ends 23rd December 2019.

The human heads come in white, normal pink, “Volks” normal, light tan (Napidoll milk tea tan), dark tan (iMda’s choco) and grey.  The cat head additionally comes in black!  The pumpkin head comes in orange or white.  Heads D/ E/ F are limited quantity.  Head B does remind me of one of the Chibi Unoa faces.

The heads have a face-plate system, so you can order one entire head, and then face-plates for the different expressions.  It’s not a new idea, but still a good one!

You can also order a matching Akagidoll body in the same store (all colours except black).  I’ve heard that these bodies have good poseability.  The white/ normal-skinned bodies are slightly more expensive than from the other Akagidoll dealer I’m aware of, but perhaps that’s because the waiting period is supposed to be a month shorter.  It seems the heads also fit various Obitsu bodies (search the ElementDoll tag on Weibo for examples).  EDIT:  TinyFox normal skin bodies (tall 1/6)  have been added as an option, too.

I’m eyeing C, for a scrappy boy to scuffle with Peter!

Ringdoll Normal Skin 2016, Doll Family-A Normal Pink 2016

“Photo taken with indoor light.

Fairyland NS is much darker than everything else, not a great match for DF-H. DF-H normal pink and Ringdoll NS are similar in lightness, but the DF-H is a bit pinker. And, despite the photo, the DF-H and DF-A normal pink look the same in person, or at least extremely similar. Napidoll is also a bit yellower. I included Napidoll as it perfectly matches my 2016 Leeke NS and 2015 April Story NS. The Napidoll NS was almost made to match Volks NS at the time.”

Comparison of various Chinese-made 1/6 scale BJD bodies

I found an interesting video which compares various popular 1/6 scale body options in the Chinese-speaking BJD world.  It’s a pity the uploader only has Chinese-made bodies and a Volks body, it would be interesting to throw some of the Korean bodies in the mix!  

If you browse Taobao or Chinese-language BJD sites, you may have noticed the overwhelming popularity of certain sculpts - chiefly Napidoll Carol, but also Miadoll Soo.  They are so pervasive that it seems like almost every BJD collector has one...!  Since Napi and Mia only sell heads, this seems to have led to an interesting phenomenon of purpose-made bodies, specifically to fit these heads, that is, the makers of these bodies don’t seem to sell any original head sculpts of their own.  Besides Rouchang (below - a collaboration between BJD dealer Engodoll/ 银谷屋 and an independent sculptor [source]), other examples are the slim Chaofan (”fried rice”) body and Pettimal (below).

Here’s a summary of what the uploader of the video had to say (she seems to favour taller, slimmer bodies overall):

Rouchang (”sausage”) body - Tall and slim, nice legs, looks good in clothes, poseability is not bad, stands well, many option hands which are well sculpted, but the thigh area is loose? and it doesn’t sit up well, especially with clothes on (a major flaw in her book).  The neck requires a silicon “KIPS” disc for Miadoll heads, else the fit would be too loose.  Many customised colours available (to match Volks, Napi, Miadoll, etc.)  Reasonable price.

Huajing - Cheapest option.  Fleshier than Rouchang, still quite tall.  Resin quality, standing and posing are all not bad.  Six hand options, fewer than Rouchang.  She has heard from long-time owners that it has knee issues - after a while the knee joint tends not to fit well and will easily buckle.  Legs are fat, especially compared to the small feet, so it’s hard to wear stockings.

Spirit Doll - Too expensive. Resin quality is average.  Legs are cute, but they’re too short.  Even with a KIPS disc in the neck, the head she placed (Napi Maron, I believe) on it cannot look up.  The details are good, better than Rouchang and Huajing, but she doesn’t recommend it because it’s relatively expensive.  

DF-H - Quite cheap.  Quite chubby, has a nice waist line.  Details are ok.  Long wait time.  Its legs are the fattest of all her dolls, so some shoes cannot fit.  The thing she dislikes the most is the squeaky noise it makes and its plasticky-ness.  I think she said the limbs can be kicky (弹?).

Volks - Very detailed and beautiful.  Short and plump, not slender like Rouchang, yet it looks good (she sounds bemused XD).  Needless to say, the quality is great.  But it’s expensive and harder to get.  And you can’t order custom colours.  (As with DF-H, I think she said the hands and feet are kicky (弹?), but as the owner of three Volks Yo-SD’s I certainly haven’t found that to be the case... >_>)

She also mentioned some bodies she doesn’t have at the moment, including Charm Doll, which she says looks great but has terrible wait times (she has one on order), and Pettimal, which was new to me and certainly does look lovely!  (added to my watch list)  It reminds me a little of the Korean SQ-LAB body, with its shapely Unoa-like knees~

I hope this was interesting and somewhat useful for you! :D  Comparison videos and posts are some of my favourite types of BJD-related content~

Also, as a bonus tidbit, LAKE has a tanned skin Mira with her own original 30cm body in stock on her Taobao!  I was very tempted but I asked and the tanned colour is apparently colour-matched to SOOM iMda instead of SOOM The Gem, so it’s a bit too chocolatey for my taste.  I did snag a normal skin head though. :D An unexpected purchase - I haven’t decided if it will be a boy or a girl yet, or what body I’ll put it on! (thus the research I’ve been doing XD)

EDIT: This link has useful comparison shots of Soom Teenie Gem, Volks Yo-SD, DF-H and Spirit Doll bodies.   And here’s a useful comparison of Volks Yo-SD and SQLAB KSG.
