Evantasy 26cm 1/6 Chubby Girl Body, Tao Tao and Zhi Zhi

[luminasgarden]

In better light, the colour difference isn’t particularly significant actually. I’m glad I took the time to have another look this afternoon. Doll is AS ‘solid butter’, hand is Evantasy normal skin. And to think the AS boobs just weren’t OTT enough for me apparently. 😅 I don’t know, the AS62cm is a perfectly nice body, it’s just that the #1 rule for this doll is to go with whatever most strikes my fancy. And I happened to find a practically perfect DD-style resin body. Really happy I wasn’t especially tempted by the silicone chest option though. It would never not be absolutely covered in cat hair. I know this because I was trying to clean off a silicone-coated bit of kitchenware earlier and it did not go well.

Ok so I feel like the best way to combat the deluge of recasts is to promote more affordable doll brands, so I'm gonna give it a shot!

Here's a list of some more affordable legit bjd brands, their general price ranges, and where to buy them! All of these are complete dolls (body+head). The lowest prices listed are from their smallest sizes no faceup, and the highest prices will be largest with faceup if they offer it. Prices can vary between dealers. (Please add more if you know some, especially for outside the US!)

Also some of these upper prices seem insanely high because they include any 70cm beasts they have as well, but I mainly judged these based on the 1/4 dolls being under or around 300 with faceup, since that's typically the most popular size.

Qianhe ($70-116) 1/6, 1/5, and 1/4 male and female resin blind box bjds. Realistic style. Available on Janesdolland, and until 8/02 you can choose the head you want from the blind boxes.

Sprouting Dragon ($68-138): 1/6 and 1/4 female resin bjds. Anime style. On Janesdolland.

Some recent doll stuff.

Heads, doll tattoos.....

I love resin anime sculpts and I have been looking at these for months and they were all in stock, so why not. They are meant for 1/3 bodies too, which is a rarity since most are made for 1/4 bodies. The tan one is from a different creator than the other ones, and I think there's a character that would fit this sculpt very well. I plan on hybriding with the tan Evantasy boy body, although I need to save up a bit before that. The other two are in pink, so it's easy to hybrid and I'm not really looking for a body for the two. They just look neat. And I love an elf sculpt. It's my greatest weakness when it comes to dolls. I cannot tell you how many times I had to stop myself from getting an elf eared doll just because it had elf ears.

And I also found some BJD tattoos. Going to have fun with these. (´┓`*)

Also finally got myself a Fatemoons Willow. I've been looking at this sculpt ever since it was listed, and it is still my favorite cat head sculpt. However, the 1/4 bodies used for it always seemed a bit off and I like larger heads, so it's nice to see that a larger 1/6 looks like something I would like. A 1/5 body is likely the perfect size. I plan on hybriding it with a 1/5 Dollzone body. And while the color matches seem very close, tbh, it doesn't matter that much as I will likely be dying this kot to a dark blue. Animal heads that have a more animesque look are another one of my weaknesses....please take away my computer.

And then there seems to be an abundance of harpy dolls as of late. Male harpies of all things too! DV really knows how to hit my weak points. Must....resist....

Important Announcement: I PICKED THE RIGHT HEYDOLL RESIN COLOUR. It’s pretty amazing considering it was, at best, an informed guess. I’m just happy that something for this doll finally went well.

[luminasgarden]

Okay, so… I discovered that Evantasy’s whitening skin is a better match for my Angell Studio head. 🤦‍♀️ I have however been able to sell the normal skin body + additional parts for a price that let me immediately reorder it in the whitening at the regular price and it was still very good value for the buyer considering everything being included. I’m pleased about that. Not so happy to be playing the waiting game again, but it is what it is.

On a separate but related note, I also want to add a ‘shoutout’ to the customer service of HeyDoll on TaoBao, who have been really wonderful and patient. I was going to get their jointed hands custom colour matched to Evantasy NS but of course I’ve changed my mind about the skintone needed. The spare hand I mailed to them to serve as a resin sample had arrived, so I explained the situation and asked if they could take some comparison photos of that hand with some of their various standard skintones. They did that for me. Using those, my own resin comparison photos and some logic, I’ve been able to pick out the one which is most likely to be the best match for the lighter Evantasy skin. 🤞That’s been a thing and a half keeping me more than a little preoccupied, but to get to the point: HeyDoll has been fantastic. That said, all the Chinese companies’ customer services I’ve dealt (Angell Studio, Evantasy, HeyDoll) with have been really good, especially as I made sure to let them all know straight away when contacting them that I’m a foreigner using translation software. If I received a lower quality of CS because I’m a foreigner, I didn’t notice.

Waiting to see if Evantasy is deemed on-topic by the DoA mods. 🙃 It’s taking them a hot minute to decide.

[luminasgarden]

The Evantasy body arrived to my forwarder! Just waiting for them to check and confirm that the extra body parts I ordered are in there too and then I’ll put in my shipping request. ��

EtA: Additional parts confirmed! 😁

[luminasgarden]

Here is the ‘meh, kinda’ resin match between Angell-Studio normal skin and Evantasy normal skin for anyone who has been following along or is just curious. I have got a number of the AS optional hands which I might need to send off to someone to see if they can be dyed to match as I was hoping to use them. I think the face-up will be fine if the artist bears the difference in mind when picking out colours for the blushing. I’m happy enough knowing it’s not insurmountable.

[luminasgarden]

I found a video of the 62cm Evantasy body and yeah, I think I did good to order one. 🤤 I must confess to finding it pretty amusing that in a discussion thread on DoA where people are discussing theirs biggest turnoffs when it comes to BJDs, most of the physical characteristics of this body are high up on the list. 🤭 I hope she fits the outfits I’ve bought (some of them do specify SD16 and DDdy, so 🤞)

In other news, my blank AS Cynthia head and the optional Evantasy hands are scheduled to arrive on Wednesday! That’s exciting as it means I get to send the head off for a face-up and I get to see the resin match in person. Fun stuff.

[luminasgarden]

Well, if that bodacious DD-esque body is going to go and be on sale after having so thoroughly caught and kept my fancy, it would be churlish not to buy it. It helps that the hands I bought to check against Angell Studio’s normal skin (aka solid butter) do seem to be a half decent match, though I’m having to make that determination via a quick photo my sister took for me:

Even if they don’t turn out to be a perfect match, they are of a similarity. Besides, heads always seem a bit different in colour to their bodies once they have a face-up. How desperate do I sound to justify my mini splurge? 😂 (It wasn’t awful at £230 though, as that includes a purchased pair of flat feet and a pair of gift hands. Hopefully they will honour my request for the pair I want and which I was going to buy if there hadn’t been a holiday special offer of a pair of hands with the purchase of a whole doll or doll body.)

Now if only I could get the eyes sorted out. 🙃

[luminasgarden]

I have found a resin DD-esque body which amuses me. It’s by a Chinese company that seems like it’s very new to the market. It’s not even been mentioned on DoA yet, though the BJD-specialized Chinese agents do have it listed. I’ve ordered some optional hands as a way of seeing if there is a resin match to be had with AS solid butter (there may well not be, but it’s worth the reasonably minor outlay to see before buying a body - not that it’s terribly expensive itself when buying off TaoBao but it would be much more of a hassle to sell onwards.)

The only thing I don’t like about it is the ludicrous positioning of the nipples on the resin L chest. 😂 BEHOLD: ES-6201SY by Evantasy.

In other news, my blank AS Cynthia head will probably be getting shipped soon from AS! Looking forward to getting it into Lynsey’s hands.

[inactivedoll]

Well, I finally received the body and the color match is indeed very off. Looks like it'll have to be dyed. Honestly, should I just paint the neck and hands or dye the whole thing? Or alternatively, just sew clothes that cover up most of its body?

I also heard that BJD yellowing is due to the sun breaking down red pigments in the resin. So....has anyone purposely yellowed a reddish tan body before?

Doll: Peach zizhi Blacc on an Evantasy body

Colors DO NOT MATCH, head is in light tan, Evantasy tan is 日浇 and is much darker and reddish in color. I would describe it as almost like Azone Pureneemo tan. Construction wise, the Evantasy 61cm body is pretty good! It also has magnetic dicks but they're not super detailed so that's nice.

More of the off color match. The body is very pretty.

[luminasgarden]

Evantasy body is due to be delivered on Monday. My AS Cynthia head’s face-up is done but the artist then went off on holiday, leaving me and some concerns unaddressed for nearly three weeks. She’s gotten back to me just now and has largely allayed those concerns, and I should be getting another photo of the face-up tomorrow. In other news, I saw someone mention Alice’s Collections having DZ Little Beans in stock for a mere $25 (and so it was!) I grabbed one and a pair of cut-off shorts which will hopefully fit the Evantasy’s ludicrously ample booty. I’ll need to find someone to paint the Little Bean up like a Will o’ the Wisp to go with Lumina. (Sadly the Little Bean was a lie and it wasn’t worth having to pay shipping on just the shorts, so I canceled the whole order.) Her otherness is related to it in some way or at least has that same sort of dark enchanted forest vibe. Next time I’m in Japan, I’m going to pick up some Studio Ghibli Kodama figurines. It had briefly crossed my mind to do so while I was there in February but then it promptly slipped my mind.

I may have also grabbed the new SD17 Ludo’s wig for her. I simply cannot resist the temptation of a dark grey wig.

[luminasgarden]

I’ve officially entered the (20 working days) ṭ̴̨͙͌̃̌ͅį̶̣͘͜m̴̠̦͊͜͜ȩ̴̞͌̆̓̕f̵̹͖͚̅͑̾͆͜r̵̛̺̖̥͑͘ą̶̎̋͂͜m̸̝͛̀͊ĕ̶̹̘͛́̚ within which my Evantasy body should be completed! 🤤

And maybe another week or so on the face-up? Not sure if that’s still anything like on schedule though. 🤞
