I’m always on the quest to find more MSD dolls that are more mature in looks and less child like, even moreso now that I have my Unoa Lusis. Of course my small MSD collection is lacking in males, because whereas it’s fairly easy to find female sculpts that are more mature looking in both body and headsculpt, for some reason the majority of boy sculpts remain too young looking in the face but often will have a mature and buff body (which is just odd if you ask me). It seems like only within the past couple years that more male sculpts with a more mature looking face have started to be created.
I only recently discovered Withdoll within the past week or so after having followed a thread on DoA about mature MSD that had a link to the withdoll website. I was really pleasantly surprised that they have quite a selection of Mature minis annnnnd mature looking male face sculpts! Of course they have some lovely girls as well as guys, but this posting is going to focus on the boys.
The first doll on the site that I was taken with was Aiden, who is in the pic above. Of course I am a complete sucker for dolls with dark hair and dark eyes, so naturally his picture would attract me first. 😉 His default face-up is quite lovely as well, which always helps for first impressions.
You can order their dolls in normal skin, white, skin, rosy white (which is pinky like Zaoll resin), and last but not least realskin UV. The realskin UV has special sunscreens inside the resin that helps belay the “yellowing” or discoloration that happens over time and with exposure to the sun. Other colors are also available, such as tan, gray and etc…but those specialty colors are only available during special event periods. Another thing that is really nice about Withdolls is they come with an additonal set of hands. All of the hands have really beautiful poses and the sculpt has really lovely details.
The second doll I found myself taken with was Taren. You can get him in your choice of two different default face-ups. The face-up above really impressed me as it makes the doll look really soulfull. I’m not sure I’m fond of so many lashes on the lower lid, but it’s still a very beautiful face-up. I also really like Taren’s narrow eyes which depending on face up can be relaxed, sad or even angry.
Currently there is a sale even going on at Withdoll. You can purchase dolls until August 31st at 20% off! It’s quite a good discount really for dolls, and it’s made it really tempting to order. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t seriously considering Taren or Aiden right now, lol. I think I probably would have already ordered one if it weren’t for the fact that I just can’t seem to decide between them. ^^;; It doesn’t help that there aren’t a lot of owner pictures of these dolls yet since they are relatively new.
Well, until I can make a decision I will probably be haunting the Withdoll discussion thread on DoA for a while. And now I will leave you with the link to Withdoll so you can check out all of the beauties for yourself. 🙂
