I'm also working on painting a vinyl SD size head. It actually feels a lot like resin, but lighter. ABS plastic has the same texture as resin, but again, lighter. I adore my RL dollieh friend's Hujoo Suve. XD

Eventually I do want one of the 55cm Obitsu boys, but he's a bit lower on the wishlist priority than some of my character dolls. After I finish my layaway for a couple ResinSouls, I'm starting a piggy bank to save for my grail dolls, both Iplehouse: Akando in the new peach gold skin, and Claude in RealSkin.



What's RL short for? :o

and what's ABS? I've heard that but i can't remember... resin = polyurethane resin, vinyl is vinyl, but what's ABS?

anywho, i don't care AT ALL what Dollmore's dolls are, because Dollmore makes the only doll i'm completely in love with... no matter what she's made of :D

magkelly wrote:That's exactly why I do like it here. I don't like the bigger doll forums I've seen very much. Too busy for me to keep up and I also don't like doll forums with cliques of members who seem full of themselves. Actually little boards can have their drama issues too. The last board I joined I left because they called me out as being "bad" for doing something I actually had full permission from a store manager to do. Not long after they praised someone who was a member of that little clique to the skies for doing "exactly" the same thing.

Put me right in my place, they did, and for no good reason, IMHO. To condemn me while praising someone else for doing the very same thing? It was totally hypocritical and nasty of them and it ruined that board for me. I still lurk there sometimes to see pics of new things but I never sign in or post now. That board is really dying of late. I go there to look and the only thread that hardly ever sees any action is the MH one. It makes me feel bad to see it because at one time that was a really great board but I also kind of understand why it is that way now. It's not the same. There's a group of people on there who basically rule that board and anyone they don't particularly like isn't going to be happy there. Sooner or later if they don't like you you'll end up gone. They'll just somehow find a way to make you want to leave....
That's stupid, i'm glad their forum is dying, places like that deserve to die... elitism/favouritism is REALLY nasty :/

It may not be the biggest doll board out there but as far as I am concerned it has heart and that's far more important to me than the number of posts every day.


i already feel like this is a great forum and a really nice community... ^^ don't worry, i'm staying :D ^-^

ABS = Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, it's basically your regular hard plastic.

RL = Real Life! :lol:

oh... i know RL = real life! i just misread & misunderstood the whole sentence... "my RL dollieh friend" i thought you meant you have a doll... that's your friend... that's... living, or something XD

now i realise you meant your real life friend who is also into dolls... :oops:

Hahah it's ok! I do stuff like that all the time! But said friend is also one of the two enablers that got me from just admiring dolls from afar, and jump started my addiction.... er... collection. I said collection.

btw, are there only small vinyl dolls, or also big ones~? it would be interesting to check out larger ones... who manufactures them~? ^^;

She'll look cute, pretty in pink, and dreamy... She'll have an out-of-this-world look (i'm pretty out-of-this-world myself, so it only makes sense :D ) and as for plans, well, other than taking care of her, loving her, and playing with her, and telling her my worries... I plan on making stop motion animations~! I like stop motion animation ^__^ and... you'll get to see them, once i do~! XD (but that will be a long way away... first i have to save up for her and she's pretty expensive :s )

so what's so amazing about vinyl then? x3



I was thinking about why there are so few large children dolls and Himstedt and Falconi are the main reasons why.

Also there are many people making child style ball jointed dolls in both resin and abs that are exquisite-if not the size that you want.

I am not sure about anyone else, but my dolls aren't children. Even the tinies are adults-except for Dottie and everyone else bosses her around.

When it comes to vinyl-what most of us are talking about is obitsu. It feels nothing like a Barbie. :D

Richila's said it all. As much as I love resin dolls mainly their looks I wouldn't trade my vinyl kiddo's for the world. They're perfect to sneak into a bag with a camera and take photo's of at random places.

I really rarely go out in the sunshine or daylight myself... so the chances of my dolls catching sunlight would be astronomically small XD so that's not an issue for me~!

with a good camera & flashlight & filter to make the flashlight light softer, the lighting isn't either :3

I think most of those hard plastic crockery things are either made of melamine (non-microwaveable) or PP (completely food safe)
If you're thinking of either of them they do feel quite different to ABS. ABS is actually really versatile - they can use it to make anything from musical instruments to car bumpers!
