Dollieh Sanctuary

Okie.. my heart is still racing and i cant seem to calm down.. actually i have been looking at resinsoul ai for 2 years..

and now i finally get to get Resinsoul Ai with Xue arms!! its a dream come true!! ok ok so now..

questions are.. how long do they take to deliver Resinsoul Ai? *ahh i cant wait to see her*
and.. is wig size 8" too small for her? i read some forums saying is cause by her ears?
Hoooo!!! please tell me more!! Anything that i need to know for a resin doll!! since i only have obitsu.. should be the same?

Hahaha congrats! I have an Ai, and I love her to bits. She's the lady in my avatar picture.

The delivery time depends on a few things, such as the company's current workload, and if you ordered her through a dealer, or directly from ResinSoul. It can be anywhere from 4-10 weeks, with the average being about 6-8. (It's faster to order through RS directly, but the shipping cost is usually a good bit more)

Ai can fit into a large 7-8, or a small 8-9; the ears make it a bit difficult for larger 8-9 wigs, but using velcro and/or a wig cap helps loads. I have a large 8-9 on my Ai, and I have velcro in it, and I snipped tiny slits in the sides to fit over her ears. If you do that, BE CAREFUL! You don't want to snip the hair wefts. If you do end up cutting a weft by accident, don't panic... put a dab of glue on the cut part, and then leave the wig alone til it dries completely, so the weft doesn't unravel, and so you don't get glue all over it.

You can find lots of information on caring for resin dolls in the dollieh maintenance section. I'll leave the differences between vinyl and resin to someone that owns both, but my general understanding is that vinyl dolls pose better, but stain more readily.

oh i see!! so 7-8 wigs would fit too.. >_< ahh.. i was so happy cause i actually gotten the dream doll i really loved.. Ai with hoofed body and Xue's double joint arms.. I have order directly from Resinsoul ..ahh hope she will come home faster!

its a wonderful sculpt! hope you enjoy her

Nice. I have a friend with a Resinsoul. Very sturdy, lovely doll. He did, however, arrive with rather loose stringing, so you may have to tighten him up.

But really, gorgeous and sturdy. Resinsoul dolls, from what I've seen can take massive amounts of punishment and still look good. Head is a tad on the small side, but that's good since a very wide range of wigs should fit quite well.

RS/BBB dolls are notorious for the awful elastic they have. When your girl gets home, be sure you have some replacement elastic ready. A tightening is a temporary solution, more often than not, (though there are people that say they have no trouble with the BBB elastic) and sueding, while not entirely necessary, also helps tons, with the posing.

ah! what type of elastic do they need? those round ones we use for sewing into our pants?

like this type?

Round elastic yes. I think 1/3 size dolls usually use....4mm? I think? I need to order some better stuff myself. Junkyspot sells restring kits.

Spam for you!
