The Doll Forum

Hi folks,

maybe a miniature doll is for me, but I'm a total noob on this scale/level.
To be more precise, I'm not looking for Phicen dolls, but for seamless ones.

So far I've come across "Lovely Dolls" and "Edation" in combination with heads from "Kumik".
What am I missing and where can I safely buy these dolls and heads in Germany?
Are there TDF "certified" vendors to buy from?
And what price range do I have to expect for this kind of dolls (< 30cm)?

kind regards

Hi,

Yes, there is DOLLSTUDIO : they have the "Lovely Doll" bodies. Price is about 225 €.

For the "Edation" bodies, I don't know a German seller, but you can try a well known shop in Europe : QUICK-TOY. This seller is very reliable, located in France at Paris, I have many orders from them. Always satisfied, fast shipping, their site is available in multi-languages, they ship worldwide.
Edation are here : https://www.quick-toy.de/search.php?q=edation
Price is 115 € (+ shipping)
You can take a look also at MACHINE-GUN that is an associated shop with QUICK-TOY.

Thanks JustinBridou,

I'll give Quick-Toy a try and think one or two cheaper Edation dolls will do for my purposes.
The dolls won't move much, they are just intended for one particular installation which I cannot do in full-scale.

But finding a matching head/body combination (connector and color-wise) seems even more complicated than creating a full-scale hybrid...

You can try machinegun.fr
I got some stuff for Lexi there (got her from there as well). They've got loads of dolls and accesories, although they mainly have military stuff.

I've contacted Quick-Toy already and asked them about Edation dolls and matching heads.
For a noob like me it's really confusing trying to find a matching combination,
because it is nowhere stated what connectors the heads use and how the colors match.
I told them what heads I like (of those they have in stock) and they are going to have a look
and hopefully send me some pictures of the combinations this coming week.

After several initial mails back and forth last week,
I haven't heard back from Quick-Toy so far.

But that's too bad for them!
Because I ordered a full-size doll instead today!
The miniature project can wait anyway, it's more like something for in between...

Received two Phicen seamless bodies and two Superduck heads from http://www.KGHobby.com today.
Unfortunately one head doesn't match color-wise, but that's OK, I'm probably going to buy two more
bodies and heads anyway and probably will find a matching combination for all four of them.

Not the same sensation like getting a new full-size doll though, although they look really great
and the detail level on this tiny and cheap ones is quiet amazing. But I will probably just use them
for one project, which I cannot do in full-size, and stick to full-size dolls in the future.
