Rynn is happy to have her jointed hands, which are the ResinSoul 72 boy hands.

She is not happy to be stuck in draft clothing.

Two besties hanging out on the shelf … trying to decide what they’re going to wear for resin rose this coming weekend!

Why are your dolls always nude?

Cuz they were born that way, silly. ;D

Watch the bouncing heads.

Left: Iplehouse EID Luna on Luts SDF Type 5 body

Middle: Miracle Doll Zhi Shen on Little Monica Grace Echo Harmony 65 cm body

Right: Little Monica Sophia on Doll Family-A 1/3 girl (58 cm) body

Same dolls, no clothes.

Swappy 1.

Swappy 1, profile.

Swappy 2.

Swappy 2, different angle.

I learned: I like MD Zhi Shen on the Luts body best, and I think she'd make a great Harley Quinn. For all my grousing about the Luts body, it does pose really well. Like, you push her lower abdomen back, and her legs lock into place. Same with her upper chest. I'm... impressed, ngl.

Luna is staying on the LM body.

Sophia has a round head. Still cute, tho.

Color matching will happen. Eventually.

Multiple resin adaptors needed for Luna and Zhi Shen. They have deep, wide neck openings.

Eremon, retrieved from the corrosive stream of time

I’ve had this beautiful man, created by @batchixdolls , since 2015. He sat on my desk at work while I was working on a documentary film back in the day. His spectacular undercut mohair wig (created by Batchix!) needs a bit more conditioning, but we’re getting there. His wonderful silvered PU leather trousers have succumbed to the power of time, so now he’s wearing his graceful long asymmetrical jumper with his ass hanging out, waiting for new togs (incoming).

I’ve been contemplating my tendency to support myself emotionally with retail therapy—buying dolls when under stress. This tends to have predictable financial outcomes, and questionable emotional ones.

This Sunday I am beginning to sense that I derive more psychic and spiritual nourishment from taking care of the stuff that’s actually already in my world.

He will be test-driving some Iplehouse clothing in their FID size soon.

Iplehouse Grace in FID size

So Iplehouse is re-releasing their FID  line and so far we can see Grace has been added. I love Grace and I must admit the FID size is tempting, but I really don’t want to start again with clothes, shoes, etc., not to mention it’s very difficult to find something that fits them.  My plans are also to get a  male BJD and the FID men are not for me.

Coming back to FID Grace I do like her face up B. Very very much. I wasn’t sure how I wanted my future Grace to look like but the moment I saw this make up I felt “the spark”. Some things will be tweaked but I can finally picture what Gala looks like and that makes me happy!

How to spot a recast (Iplehouse skin tones and faceups)

Alrighty everybody I decided to put this together to help y’all spot recasts that are tan skin tones. Please know that I’m only using Iplehouse dolls as references because that’s all I have to compare with. All my dolls are from Iple so I can’t give proper warnings with other companies. I’m sorry. This post is going to be photo heavy so I’ll put it under a readmore, but for the first recast awareness post where I compared a recast to a legit body, you can find that here on my personal blog.

I will also be discussing some faceup things I have noticed with recasts, as in the recast comes with a faceup when bought new--not done by a artist.

As always if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Okay so when it comes to Iplehouse tan resins, they have Peach Gold, Real Skin, Light Brown, and Ebony. I have not seen ebony as much with recasts, but’s still out there. I’ll be going over the other three colors in detail since I own them, have photos, and found tan recasts that are similar to those. I am not promoting recasts by inserting photos of them, and got these photos from ebay where the dolls were explicitly stated as being recasts.

1: Peach Gold. PG is the shade after normal on the darker spectrum of Iplehouse’s colors. It’s a peachy pale skin tone with warm golden undertones. It also comes in the “glow” option where its partially transparent for a more realistic look, and the glow options tend to lean more on the warmer end. PG is pretty consistent in color from batch to batch, I own 3 PG dolls and they’re all very similar. Here is my SID Grace (2017)  who is the regular PG, first photo is taken with flash, second is my normal house lighting that is on the yellow side, and last is with flash and with my glow PG Mari (2016).

(ignore that they’re all kinda piled on my couch hahaha) As you can see next to the glow PG, there’s more pink and less gold. Now, here’s a couple photos of a tan recast Grace (same sculpt) to compare to.

(sorry for the bad quality, ebay mobile is like that), as you can see the recast tan is darker than PG, but VERY warm like it. So since its darker, lets compare to the next skintone from Iplehouse.

2: Real Skin RS is the medium of the darker shades, it’s a wonderful tan color leaning on the olive side. It has a lot of yellowy green undertones and reminds me of a latte with lots of milk in it. Its the most consistent tan color, I have two dolls in this color and several parts all ordered from different times and they all match perfectly. It also comes in the glow option which is more warm on the yellow side and a shade darker, I don’t have a doll in the glow for a comparison. ALSO important to note is that Iplehouse dolls in PG, RS, and light brown made before 2014 did have a soft glow to them because they were made with french resin. Iplehouse switched to matte colors in 2014 due to difficulty with the french resin, and in 2016 they introduced the glow line which is not french resin. Okay so lets look at some photos! Here is Josh, my SID Edan (2015) and Rhys my FID Rex (2018). First photo is Josh with flash, second is him in my normal house lighting, third is Rhys next to a window with natural light, third is him with flash next to my light brown Bianca (2016).

As you can see lighting makes a big difference with this tone but it always remains an olive color with yellow undertones. It does not match the orange base of the recast Grace I showed above or the recast FID Rex (same sculpt as Rhys) I am going to post below. You can also see that compared to light brown, theres a big contrast and light brown isn’t orange toned either, just warm.

Again, it’s a very orange, missing the headplate but since those are now being recreated by recasters they don’t matter *insert upside down smiley face here*. The resin is shiny all over, and also isn’t consistent in color throughout the doll. The chest, eblow peanuts, and head are darker. I wanted to include the description because the seller mentions that he has no seam lines which is not something you’ll see on legit Iplehouse dolls. They have seams because Iple doesn’t like to leave sanding marks. Now lets move onto the darkest color I have reference photos of.

3: Light Brown. LB is the second to last of the tans, in 2015 they darkened the color a bit and it is the most inconsistent color out of all their resins. I have 3 LB dolls, and two match while one is a little lighter and more warm toned (you saw her above). LB is dark, warm but not orange, and reminds me of milk chocolate. It also comes in the glow option but again I don’t have a doll in that color haha. Here are some photos of Rex my YID Chris, he’s the newest LB doll I have, first pic is with flash, second in my house lighting, third is compared to PG and RS.

With flash, he shows more yellowy tones, but without it shows his true color despite my bad house light haha, and the last one I feel is a good comparison to show that he’s darker than the tan recasts come in (yes I know this can vary from recaster but majority seem to be around that same deep orange color).

Now I’m going to talk about a few skin tones I don’t have good comparisons of but have noticed things: White: Iple’s white isn’t fully white, it’s paler than normal but it has pink undertones and when it yellows it goes really yellow, its matte as well. Recast white is paper white and glowy. Normal: Iple’s normal is very pink and usually mellows within the first year or two, when it yellows it yellows out to a nice color, kinda like a very pale olive. It’s also matte. Recast normal is a porky pink unlike how legit normal is a normal with LOTS of pink undertones, recast normal is literally like a light pink with some yellow added in to try and balance, or its the opposite where its very yellow with hardy any pink, but one consistent thing is that its not matte, its glowy because its Chinese resin. Ebony: Iple’s ebony is SUPER dark and cool toned with a good mix of blue and red undertones, when it yellows it doesn’t green it more “cools” as the blue tones take over and it still looks realistic. Recast ebony isn’t anywhere as dark and is again super warm. I haven’t seen many in this shade so thats all I can say on that.

Faceups. Things I’ve noticed is that faceups from recasters always have this fake plastic kinda look to them, where they look like they were stamped on. One recaster colors eyebrows purple. Another one rips off Iple’s faceups but does poor quality on it. Another uses sparkles under the sealant or glossy sealant. Look at the recasts I posted above, the faceups look stamped on. Please note all my dolls except one currently have faceups by me, but here’s some old photos (of my dolls) comparing Iple’s faceups to some other recasts I found on ebay. Legit’s up first:

For Iplehouse OG faceups, everything is consistent with colors, its all blended nicely, natural, and the linework is super neat and thin (iple expose your secrets to me PLS). Anyway, these are all over 4 years old, and since then Iple has changed their style a bit, but its all still very high quality. Here’s the recasts:

Set 1: stamped on look with heavy linework and blushing, ultra saturated colors, and “sharp” eyebrows and lashes. Also the eyebrows arent even, something I’ve never seen Iple do (again Iple faceup artist reveal your secrets to me).

Set 2: purple brows! those eyebrows are PURPLE guys, so is the shading around the last ones eyes. Colors are off, looks rushed, and again thick and heavy linework. 

Okay thats all I have to add. I hope this helps you out and again, all these photos are from ebay recasts for sale, the photos aren’t stolen ones I triple checked. Please reblog this because now ebay thinks I want to buy recasts and keeps sending me emails about them.

This is Revy, she is based on Revy from the anime/manga Black Lagoon. She’s still a bit of a work in progress; a lot of my dolls actually need work. ^_^;;

Revy is an Iplehouse YID Grace.

I liiiiiiive - this year the weather is killing me and I was too lazy to drag out the good cam... BUT LOOK AT THAT DRESS! I got it as a gift from the uber-talented @musumeadventures and I am still shook at the sheer epicness <3 Need to find a proper BG to do full body shots!

It also single-handed catapulted red back into the acceptable colors for Pazuzu so uh, back to the Snow White colors it is for her (black/red/white).

Pazuzu also deems this dress fitting for her majesty and would like everyone to know that gifts like these ultimately gets you into her good grace (I would look to point out that she is bitchy enough as it is, don't spoil her more or she'll take over)

I could make my sweet Moira as a bjd!

She'd have to be on the impldoll Star Female body (real skin), the head would have to be a Iplehouse Grace head as it has the right smirk.
