Howdy ladies!
I have a dilemma to ask advice on:
Most of you know one of my doll priorities is Dollmore's Biwol. When I order her I plan to get, at the very least, at least one pair of shoes and a carrying bag at the same time. (so I may push my order up to $750 somehow to get the free shipping in two boxes if that event is still on..) However, there's also the Simply Divince "Alec" head, which is still in the sculpting phase, which I've mostly decided to push Biwol aside for now so I can make sure to order him a body as soon as possible.
Problem is I have no idea how long the sculpting will take! So the first part of my dilemma involves should I just keep the money aside for Alec and his body, or should I see if I can get the money for the head reserved since I don't know when that will come up, and then save for Biwol, or should that next batch get put aside for Alec's body?
Which brings me to the body question: Since he's an 8/9 head, I'm definitely thinking he'll be too small for the Dragondoll Uncle body like I'd originally planned, which means no ordering an in-stock from MoC like I'd originally planned. Since it's based for a Soom SG body, which is about 65cm in height, I've been looking at other 65cm bodies, and I think I have it nailed down to three options.
DollZone - Overall, I like the shape and detail. The arms are a touch long... Not to mention the order time! If I had the money to order it right-now-right-now I might get it by the time the head's done, seeing as Dollzone takes six months from what the DoA thread indicates.
DollFactory - Just spotted it the other day actually, I just don't know much about Doll Factory as a company...
ImplDoll - This is the Star 65cm, but I was actually looking at a 58cm Model Body that was for sale on DoA for a moment until I realized it was a bit shorter than what I wanted... But on the other hand, it's stockier too, which I'm considering it for, but I've heard things back and forth on Impl. One one hand, some people like them, and the person selling it said they have fantastic posing capabilities. On the other hand, I've heard words like "cheap resin" tossed around.
So those are the three I'm kind of eyeing, and I was just wondering if anyone had any input/suggestions. I think the DollZone and DollFactory are about at the maximum for what I'd want to spend on just a body unless there was something pretty awesome about it. If it wasn't for my already acquired knowledge of how much trouble I have with my sister's Domuya Flexi I'd have considered that, but HIMJOINTSAREWEIRD *flails* Sorry.
Bah, time to find food and go to work. One of these days I swear I'll sit down and have time to actually look through posts... <3
