Dollieh temptations and plans

Yep, that's exactly my problem ... I'd go with a Miro body, but I'm afraid they're too narrow in the shoulders. I don't want him to be too tall, but he needs to be a little buff ...

As I only found Iplehouse in the past year, I'm not familiar with anything other than their very realistic humans, so if they have had fantasy dolls before, I'm unaware of it. Here is the first I've seen - vampire/faun (?) Bianca:

Iple's current line of "limiteds" is a vampire story. They've already done two female EIDs, Doria and Aaliyah, both with human and fantasy head options ... and horns.
Bianca is actually a re-make, she was originally in their Elemental Guardian series (the limiteds that don't go basic, but are available via custom system from the year following their release). I guess they realized how popular a sculpt she was and gave her a fantasy head She was available as a cyborg as a limited edition last year, too.

And all I can think about is Cowboy Dexter as Van Helsing

Hmm pondering these wigs for Vasily/PaleSkin Saint:

I am terribly tempted to get a Doll Chateau Christina and Sexta right now. >_> The extra jointed body is just so interesting looking.

And as always I keep searching for the perfect dolls to shell my two boys in. I'm pretty set on Iplehouse SID Storm for the one boy and suddenly decided that Chase is a better sculpt than Tedros for the other but the EIDs are just much too big as lovely as they are. >_> So I've been looking for dolls in the 68cm range that have a sort of smile/smirk like Chase but are more slender than the Iplehouse SID. Ran across PoPo Doll Nangong You http://popodoll.com/show.php?contentid=9 who has about the closest thing to a smile I've really seen in male SDs though that is partially because of how the faceup is done I'm sure. And then for some reason I started to really like Dollzone Yue as well but I wish he had open eyes too.

My indecisiveness makes me just want to buy all the dolls so I don't have to choose. Completely impossible but yeah. Trying to decide between all the lovelies is evil. So many temptations so little funds.

Anyone else run across male SD with a sort of smirk/smile like Iplehouse Chase? http://iplehouse.net/shop/step1.php?number=1833 Just curious since my dollieh knowledge is very limited.

Qrinta, have you checked out IH SID Lee? Or nYID Andrew, he's got a half smirk that's just too cool to be allowed. (Also SID heads can go on nYID bodies, which are just a tad shorter and less muscly than the SIDs - think EID Super Hero vs. EID Model.)

Vetinari, I like the blone one (the third link) best for some reason. It's got the right amount of reddish undertones to complement pale skin without being too vibrant (you mentioned he's into *ahem* illegal substances, so I'm guessing he's not exactly the healthiest of individuals out there) ... the chestnut brown one looks good to me too.

:FLAIL:

I can't decide if I want to get a MNF ala carte with a sleeping head for Ban Sidhe to mod open eyed for me or get a Souldoll Asen on a NL body and then eventually get her a MNF body.... I love Asen but my character needs a small bust and the NL bust is ... busty!

I've stalked all the Iplehouse sculpts. If I did the YID size for my boys it would definitely be Andrew and Noel. I was looking at Lee recently, his sculpt is definitely nice too. My problem is the taller doll needs to be the skinnier one and the shorter one more muscular and that doesn't generally happen with the Iplehouse sculpts as they are all fairly muscly. And it's practically impossible to just get in Iplehouse head to put on another body. Thank you for the suggestions though. ^_^ It gives me more to think about.

I'm going to go make a chart of charries and their heights and 1/3 heights in cm so I have some comparison of what to look for. ^_^

[Jany]

Gah ... yeah, that does complicate things. Good luck with the search!
