Dollieh Sanctuary

So I recently returned to K pop XD; and I Found the band Exo <33333 they only just debuted but i love them! <3 Especially Tao <3 and of course, now i want to get a doll version of him XD; but i have no idea where to start! Any suggestions will be welcomed! <3

And here are pictures of Tao <3

Hmm....All I can really think of is to commision someone...An Obitsu slim with an ares head and a wig to match his hair color would work....

how would i commission someone? is there anyone i can commission that makes high quality bjds?

Well paint them....You could ask SetsunaKou PM her about it like doing a face up and clothes and stuff. Or maybe look at sculpts first see what looks like him like a Leekeworld or a LUTS.

What size are you looking for? 1/6, 1/4, 1/3..?

I'd kind of like to have a bigger doll for him, by if i find one that's 1/6 size that'll work i won't mind too much, but I'd prefer a bigger doll XD

Well...Doll in Mind offers a service called Minimee...they make celebrity doll heads for 1/3 and 1/4 BJD with up to an 80% likeness. I'm preeeeeeeeety sure they still take orders for it

*edit-yup! I just checked and they're currently offerng the service, (they had closed it for a while, but reopened it in February of this year). I've actually organized Minimee group orders before, so if you decide to go this route and need help and/or advice, I'd be happy to lend a hand

I can certainly see why you'd want him. That child is beautiful.
Ask SetsunaKou. And Invie. I'll bet they could help you with finding the right sculpt and with doing a matching faceup.

@Arrowchild looks good to me! I'm still looking around at this point but i'll definitely keep that open as an option! I'd like to hear more about that if you plan to do a group order anytime soon C:

@EAB yes <3 i think that a doll like him would be amazing <3 and I'll be sure to ask them! thanks for the help!

Honestly, I wouldn't get a minimee. They do good work as sculptors (most of the time) but all the minimees just don't 'look right'. I think their faces look too 'forward'; like the neck hole is too far back. Most of the time the heads are way too big for the bodies. If you want a realistic Asian sculpt look for some Elfdoll molds.
Realism is really in right now with the bjd companies so you should be able to find something really easily. Granado has some really realistic sculpts too...honestly I'm not too familiar with SD size.. I've had several of them, but they are just so big. haha
