Resin that matches Hujoo Apricot?

Postby chibiraine » Mon May 13, 2013 11:21 am

I have no clue if this is the right place to ask this ^__^" I'm quite a noob..

But I was wondering if anyone had any comparison pictures of the hujoo apricot skin to a resin dolly. I have a few floating heads and was wondering if the hujoo action body could work for them.

Also, Is the ABS plastic lighter than resin? Or would my resin head make it top heavy....

Thanks for looking~

ABS is definitely lighter than resin. It's similar to vinyl in weight.

A resin head would probably make your doll top heavy. I stuck a resin head on one of my ABS dolls and it wouldn't stand. This was a smaller doll though, the 44cm action body might be more solid and better able to hold up a heavier head. Maybe someone here has tried it or can try it for you to see if it would work.

I can't help you on the skin tone issue, I have four apricot Hujoo but it doesn't match up exactly to any of the brands I have. The apricot seems to be just a hint peachier than any other doll I own.

Ah, Okay ^__^ maybe I'll find someone who has <3

So is it pretty close to Normal skin tones? There are some pictures that I've see that show it pretty pale :/ I'm quite confused by it.. And I haven't had the chance to see a vinyl doll in person ^^"

But thanks for the info!! It's really helpful~

It matches Iplehouse pretty well. Here is a link to a comparison thread I did:

5Stardoll NS is a pretty close match. I have a 5Stardoll Bibi head on my Hujoo Action Girl body.
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@

Does the head feel way heavier than the body or does it seem to not make any difference?

In my mind I feel like the ABS is lighter.. maybe it at least makes posing harder..
