Dollmore & Asleep Eidolon Resin Comparison

After getting my Sona out of her box, one of the first things I wanted to do was to see how the tint of Dollmore’s resin compared to Asleep Eidolon’s resin. The Dollmore kid body lacks the mature features that many of the other female MSD bodies have, so there are many Dollmore kid owners who have been pondering how they can get a more mature body for their girls. Of course I am in no hurry to hybridize my Sona because she is just to perfect to me right now, but perhaps after her newness wears off I may find myself more willing to embark on experimentation. Anyway on with the comparison pics.

In this pic we have Sona on the left and my AE Yara on the right. My AE Yara has the old style slim body, and the AE girls are now on their third body type which is no longer as slim. I don’t know if AE’s resin color has changed at all between incarnations but if I find any definitive information I will be sure to edit this posting. Anyhow from the pic you can see that the two resins are very similar and I would say they are a pretty good match. AE’s resin is ever so slightly more cream colored and Dollmore’s is slightly whiter, but you really have to sit there and analyze and nit-pick in order to see the difference.

Anyway here is a close-up with more natural light from the window for those of you who would like more comparison shots in different lighting. Hopefully these pics can help people with their decision making when they are considering a different body for their Dollmore Kid.

Sona Arrived! Box Opening Pics Follow :D

I was more than shocked today to find that my Sona arrived! Her tracking number still didn’t seem to be working on the EMS site, so I thought for sure that her progress must have been slow and I truly wasn’t expecting her until next week. As it is she must have been on an airplane that landed in Chicago for her to get to me so soon. Anyway I was totally excited and I am more than pleased with her. Box opening pics follow behind the cut!

Ended up Going for Sona!

0820430004502Yep, as the title states, I took the plunge so to speak and ordered a Kid Dollmore Sona, she will come with the eyes in the picture, but I ordered a black mohair wig for her…well let’s just say I requested it. I heard that Dollmore listens to your requests so I am hoping I get the black mohair wig. Now is the waiting game. ^^; I know Dollmore ships faster than most doll companies, but this is actually going to be the first doll I have ordered through the maker rather than a reseller. I know I have been spoiled by the fast shipping from places like Mint on Card and Junkyspot though. ^^;;;; So yeah I am prepared for a longer wait even though I hope for a short wait, lol.

Narrowing the Playing Field.

So I’ve taken Island Doll’s Amy off of my list of possibilities. The main reason why is that after doing some searching I found some threads on DoA and saw some owner pictures that leave a little bit to be desired. For some reason in a couple of the pics the doll’s faces looked shiny for some reason. Maybe it was just bad photography, but I don’t want a shiny doll, lol. The other reason I am taking her off my list is that out of the few who posted their box opening, their dolls arrived flawed. 🙁 One the foot broke off and the other had a broken finger. I realize these things can happen, and their problems were resolved to their likings, but when I see that kind of stuff it turns me off a little bit.

I’ve also decided to take 5star doll’s Yoka off my list because when viewing owner pictures I found her eyes to be a little too large for my tastes, though her pout is still very cute. I think really I have narrowed my list to Latiblue Yern and Kid Dollmore Sona, but I could always wind up adding more to the list again. I really like a lot of the Iplehouse head sculpts….but sheesh, the JID bodies are so very Amazonian. XD

Well, enough random blabber, time to go drool over dolls again….

Discovered a new girl – Dollmore Sona

0820430004502I decided to have another look at the Dollmore MSD sized dolls even though they don’t have a mature style body. Despite not having a mature style body however, the girls have similar hip and chest measurements to Latiblue, which makes me wonder if they can’t share clothing with the slim MSD. The only difference is that that they don’t have a mature bust and their waists are 2cm bigger than the Latiblue. A nice point of the Kid Dollmore is that they take a 7-8 wig which I feel are easier to find, but maybe that’s just me.

What really got me about the Kid Dollmore dolls is they have a few dolls that I feel have really unique face sculpts that are absolutely adorable, one of which is Sona who I added a picture of in this post. 🙂 I really love Sona’s face, especially with the dark eyes and dark hair. I have to admit that Sona and Miro are both really enticing to me despite their non-mature body styles. Another enticing factor is that Dollmore gives you both eyes and a wig with your doll, all for the base non-face-up price of $216. However their face-up service is $55, which I think is a bit on the expensive side. If I got myself a Sona I would definitely want to get the default face-up because I love how her eyes are done, and they are done in such a fashion that I feel my novice hand cannot recreate it.

I’m near the point in my doll window shopping where I feel I could make a commitment to buy. I’ve seen so many different sculpts over the past week that I swear I’m seeing doll’s faces when I shut my eyes! lol! Because it’s always a lot of money to buy a doll, I really want to make the right choice and get one that I will get the most enjoyment out of. I want to get a buddy for my Yara soon though, so I need to try to come to a decision! *faint*
