Bunch of questions about DollZone also MSC alternatives?

Thanks guys! That's really useful! Well just generic can he stand up by himself really - I'm not that ambitious with what's acheivable with elastic tbh!

Edit: Well... My invoice is going to be painful... Just bought my 1st resin doll... And due to impatience on my part, I bought the only guy that was in stock in the size range I was after - so he's going to be huge! 72cm... oh dear... My bank account does not look healthy this month!

OK - wow someone please tell me that Tamiya Color matt spray works like MSC? (PleasePleasePleasePleasePlease)
Because it's so easy to use!! It's so much less fussy than MSC, seriously I sprayed it slightly too close and it's kinda humid... So I was expecting an utter disaster - few hours later still no hideous white crunchy bits so I think I got away with it!


Edit: Oh for the record, my 1st 3rd scale guy is going to be a white skinned Dollzone/Simply Devine Thomas hybrid - I figured I could explain the slight mismatch in whites as make-up since the character I intend to make him into will either be a 70s glam rock look-a-like or a fanon version of Jareth/Sarah's possible kid... And well Jareth looks very glam rock anyway...

Right from the catalogue listing just like MSC - also from the warning labels I suspect this shouldn't be available in the EU - guess who's going back to the hobby shop tomorrow to buy a couple more cans?

I have OODLES of DZs!!! The white is not true paper white at all, and it does yellow, but into a lovely cream color that I don't find bad at all. A few of my animal dolls were white once upon a time and are now cream Their tan is, in my opinion, just the sexiest most beautiful tan I've seen! It's a lovely golden tan and I've got at least 4 dolls in that color - a 42cm Hid, 42cm Xi, Fox and 70cm Yuu. I absolutely love Dollzone dolls and the only reason I don't have more is that the more recent face scuplts haven't really drawn me in, but I love to use their bodies for hybrids!

Yay! I'm looking forward to him arriving, since I ordered from a UK company that should be soon, especially as he was listed as in stock. Kinda glad I didn't get a RS in the end, I think I'll save them for interesting colours of resin, like sky blue (Megamind>?) - finally worked out that the sculpts all make me think of mythical creatures rather than humans. - I've gone through excitement to regret/denial and back into pure excitement! (Though that may be the caffeine talking)
