Sure, I'll have some of that Kool-Aid!

I was sitting in chat last night, listening to everyone talk about their mini's... well, I broke down and ordered one.

I'm not sure how long she will take to arrive, but I must admit, I'm a bit excited. lol

Looking forward to doing entire photoshoots without ever getting up from the couch.

I've considered time and time again getting a 1/6 scale doll. A number of DIY custom dolls come up on Chastity's YouTube recommendations.
Also I've looked from time to time at the 1/6 that are listed on BBTS.

This is very exciting news.
With your photographic skills applied to miniatures, we are in for a treat.

You'll love working with a miniature.
I just did a big photo shoot with Daria and Giorgi (mini) today.
I get posing ideas from the looking at model shots and have not found a pose that Giorgi can't do.
When working with Daria, I have to pass on many poses because they are outside the tolerances of her joints.
Also Giorgi's half of the shoot took about 30 minutes while Daria's "half" was 2 hours.

BTW, I'm in the April Cover Doll with Why Your Next Doll Should Be A Miniature

Thanks,
scooter

Congrats Broven! What did you order? If you need any help, let me know. Since you are in the USA I have some connections that you might find helpful.

Thanks LR

I've been reading through your posts already. Lots of good tips! But you'll definitely be at the top of my "who to ask" list. lol And any connections would be appreciated. I expect I'll be buying things for her... probably too many things. lol

I order a TBLeague Athena Asamiya (I'll probably give her a new name though). She was a character in the King of Fighters game, so she immediately appealed to my love for video game characters. Plus, I'm a fan of asian faces... so, I guess I never had a real chance to resist.

I like the outfit she comes with, but I've been looking around the web at all the clothes and props available for these dolls... A lot of cool stuff! Looking forward to buying some things for her already. lol

From what I have seen of her she looks like her body is based on the S18 / S19 body (not sure if she is pale or suntan).

Broven · Post by **Broven** » Sun May 12, 2019 11:57 am

I still have a LOT to learn... for example, what the hell is an s18 body... lol (Ok, I just googled it. lol)
Is that something I will need to know when buying clothes for her, or do most clothes fit?

You have to sort out something that *might* fit your doll, based on a few specific requirements.
It is just like with humans. Not all clothes fit all humans. You know what i mean? :haha4:

The S18 body for example has relatively small breasts. I would call it 'standard' and gives you the largest selection of clothes.
On the other hand, the S21 has larger breasts and butt (which is nice).
Though, i wouldn't recommend it, simply because most available 1/6 clothes are for smaller proportions.
Also, most barbie clothes won't fit.

Might have found a 1/3 doll I'd get. While looking at options for my Chass, I found this dress and wig for a 1/3 Belldandy. I do wish the price tag was a little lower as I'd have to wait for two months to set the cahs aside for both the doll body and this outfit.

Nice Broven! The minis are a lot of fun.

I've bought a few outfits for mine, and most of them fit the "medium" bust Phicens with no problems, but are too small to fit around the "large" bust Phicens - there isn't really that much difference, but it's enough.

Clothing for the larger busts does tend to be advertised as such though.
