MiroDoll 68cm Male body & tan/chocolate colors added

[Trethowan]

i was told they are working on blue and grey resins too from my group order i am in

That's really cool.

With their quality craftsmanship, customer service and sale prices I think they'll be a serious contender for Resinsoul's market. RS is great for thinner characters and their heads are definitely way, way better but Miro offers a really nice thick body option. Paired with RS heads I can see these doll combinations popping up more often. <3

I agree!

But Miro has a few really nice sculpts themselves! They just take horrible photos. And they have to name all their sculpts. Why are some only numbered?!

I've handled/or own almost all their 1/3 heads and 2 are quite beautiful and as well-sculpted as any company's(Wind and 1/3 Boy #02); two are sooo ugly they're actually neat in a way (Miro Girl Head #06 and Boy Head #08) and they're very realistic looking. Not 'awkwardly' or amateurish sculpted----they look real and human. I'm using those 2 for 2 of my portrait dolls and they're some of my favorites that resemble their actual voice actors!!
Then, the other 2 I've had (William, Girl #05) are very nice in their own way. With the right faceup, they'd look lovely, I think.

The only 1/3 ones I'm not fond of are Thunder and Lightning. They seem rather stiff and not well-done. Maybe because they were their first tries? Those 2 seem a bit amateurish. But still decent if you like 'unrealistic' looking faces.


I should photograph all the heads because Miro takes horrible angles and photos, so you can't see how nice each sculpt really is....

[Trethowan]

That sounds like a great idea. haha... send them your pictures to use. LOL

[magkelly]

If their heads are really that nice you should send them pics. I was totally turned off by the pics of the heads I saw on their site. The bodies I love but I just don't see why anyone would even want to buy their heads as they look in their shots. If they're that much better, and it's just a question of bad photography you'd be doing them a serious favor. I can't be the only one who went, uh, whatever, and just bought bodies instead.

[SetsunaKou]

Those are good suggestions! I think I'll send Miro the photos and tell them they can use them however they'd like.
After all their hard work and almost 1/2 pricing their dolls, it'd be a shame if people still didn't buy their heads/dolls because of bad photography.


It's just too bad I didn't take photos of Wind and Girl #06 and Boy #08 before I modded them. ^^;; But Wind, isn't a bad loss, since their own photos of her are pretty nice. ^^

Boy #08 is just modded slightly, so it might be okay yet. (I just made the eyes smaller and rounded the nose a bit). But he's got a full faceup on.....

Now, Girl #06.....I did a LOT of modding on her to become Yasumura Makoto..... It's sort of recognizable but I widened the nostrils, rounded the nose, and made the eyes smaller. So...it's quite a bit different now, and made to look kind of not-pretty. (Yasumura-san is not a pretty man. He's very 'guy.') That's probably not the direction they were looking for on it. :laughs:


But I'll definitely send them William, Girl #05 and Boy #02 though. I took 'raw' photos of those 3 before touching them since I planned to sell the former two.
Boy #02 is just gorgeous!

Hmmm, didn't a member here get a Boy #08, and I know Mochi-Kochi-san got a Wind. Maybe they'd like to contribute better photos for Miro, too. ^^

Here are the photos of the 3 heads I took photos of, before faceups or any modding:

Boy #02 (1/3)











Girl #05 (1/3)












William (1/3)

Interesting..... any news on whether they plan to change the wrist/ankle joints? (Because ,after getting the one Mirodoll boy that I have, that it the thing keeping me from wanting another...)

[Trethowan]

I bought new sets of hands for both my 1:4 scale Mirodolls. Haven't switched 'em out yet or anything.

Those heads don't look so bad, actually. Looks like some of the top ones just need the eyes beveled out a bit on the inside, but it's not the horrific science experiment some of the others made me think of. LOLZ.

And here are the heads with some basic faceups:

Mirodoll Boy #02 in NS:

It never ceases to amaze me what a great faceup can do for a doll.

Oh, and my 68 body should arrive today!!! <3
