Re: Anxiously awaiting my custom doll from Spartan Lover
What about the rest of him? Anything else not quite right? Is it just the head?
Have you tried contacting the company and letting them know that you are not satisfied with the head and that what was represented is not what it actually turned out to be? You never know unless you try and hopefully the company will work with you to make him right...

His body is amazing, it’s just the head.Stocking_Hunter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 1:59 pm If you aren't happy you aren't happy.

I haven’t reach out to the company because I feel like nothing can be done I don’t have enough money to have another head made, I’m hoping maybe I can sell this one to go toward another one…but even if I sell this one I wonder if anyone would pay for it, it’s a custom head so it would have to be at least a couple thousand…which doesn’t seem appealing :,( so idk, I feel like I’m probably stuck with a doll I don’t like.

Re: Anxiously awaiting my custom doll from Spartan Lover
He looked very Astarion from the few shots on this thread, but he might look different in person. Did the factory change anything on him between the factory photos you shared here with us? Maybe a different eye size might help him look more like you imagined him to?
Unless you are really disliking his whole face and have already decided you want to sell him... I think there might be a fantasy forum here with people who have interest in the Fantasy/Video game characters who might want to purchase him.

Re: Anxiously awaiting my custom doll from Spartan Lover
Very true, I will message them about it, maybe we can work something out. They have been wonderful the whole time, I just hate being a bother…I’m just so heartbroken over here.Stocking_Hunter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 2:31 pmWhat have you go to lose?DreamyStarrr wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 2:14 pmStocking_Hunter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 1:59 pm

Re: Anxiously awaiting my custom doll from Spartan Lover
Idk, each time I look at him, & look at pics of Astarion it really bothers me :,( I’m trying to be ok with it, but I don’t think I can.MyAbsoluteBoyfriend wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 2:31 pm I'm sorry you're not bonding with him He just came home; maybe it will be an adjustment to get used to him?

They didn’t, just in person it doesn’t look right. I thought if I made changes it would fix it, but it didn’t.
I hope I can sell him & try again.

Re: Anxiously awaiting my custom doll from Spartan Lover
This is a custom item. You commissioned it but you were not the one who crafted the item. You deserve to be satisfied and happy with your purchase. If you are not somebody dropped the ball. I wouldn't call that a bother and neither should you.DreamyStarrr wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:15 pmVery true, I will message them about it, maybe we can work something out.

Talk to them and be straightforward about your concerns. You already have a "No". What is the worse that can happen? That they say "Yes. We will work with you to make sure you are satisfied."

Re: Anxiously awaiting my custom doll from Spartan Lover
I know you were so excited for him; this is heartbreaking I second that; have you tried reaching out to Spartan Lover just to see what they say? I'm not sure if they would be able to do anything, but it is worth a shot. Maybe if we can see what you aren't liking with him, like peachplumpear said, possibly there is a solution to modify him to your liking? I know there are lot of experienced modders on the forums who might be able to offer advice. Though I am not sure if doing a modification would damage the head.DreamyStarrr wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:22 pmIdk, each time I look at him, & look at pics of Astarion it really bothers me :,( I’m trying to be ok with it, but I don’t think I can.MyAbsoluteBoyfriend wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 2:31 pm I'm sorry you're not bonding with him He just came home; maybe it will be an adjustment to get used to him?

Re: Anxiously awaiting my custom doll from Spartan Lover
giving it a shot
Ok, it may seem like a lot & I may seem like the nit pickiest person in the world, but I feel the slight changes that were made to the original model really threw the whole look off, & I didn’t even realize how much it was until he was here in my hands. His eyes & lips I feel are the biggest changes & really throwing me off. The eyes just seem too big, & no matter what eye I put in, even a more suitable eye with a smaller iris, the eye(eye socket) just isn’t right. Not shaped right. His lips, where they were originally more relaxed & slightly parted are closed & the top lip is puckered out, kinda like duck lips. He was supposed to have forehead wrinkles, a wrinkle between the eyes & crows feet, I loved those little details. I wish I could just mod & fix these issues myself but idk if modding hard silicone to the extent I would need to is even possible. Oh on top of everything, his head color doesn’t match his body I do love the body tho, it’s perfect.
In one of the pics you can see my head, I tried implanting eyebrows but idk how I feel about it, I should have let them keep him longer to fix it but then again, that’s on top of many things wrong

Re: Anxiously awaiting my custom doll from Spartan Lover
Yes, that’s what makes it more upsetting for me, I cried all day. Like, the fact that there may be no fixing it & I won’t get to have my Astarion :,( I wish I had thousands to just throw for another one. I wish it were cheaper to print a silicone head.peachplumpear wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:35 pm I’m so sorry you’re unhappy. It’s devastating in such an expensive hobby! Perhaps you could post photos of him for us to see what you mean? The 3D file was immaculate so I’m wondering what isn’t clicking.

I did ^_^ thank you for the encouragement, it is better to try to message them than not at all.Stocking_Hunter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:45 pmThis is a custom item.
