New 18M Mystic Body, say movement

“Pose takes personality”. It is a word I always conceive before I start producing a new body. I set the age and body line and contrive to optimize it’s best fluent movement. The important thing is keeping the beauty of the body and harmony with it’s joints.

I put beautiful lines at dividing part in the body. I made harmonic lines throughout the whole body.

The movement of New 18M Mystic body is definitely the best among the dolls I have made so far.

I have seen many pictures of dolls. I realized most of the dolls are standing. It is standing while taking a picture. Therefore, it has to have a natural and beautiful promotion when the BJD is standing.

BJD is different with humans. Its flesh is not as soft and flexible as that of a human’s.
Like those reasons, it’s hard to make dolls pose like humans do. I conceived and set the joint mobility range with an optical illusion so that the doll makes a natural pose.

Then now you see the picture of all joint and it’s movement.

The movement of the Head

It can turn to any side from back and forth, and right to left so it can get a wide arrange of natural positions.

The movement of shoulders

Turning 360 degrees, I conceived for arms to swing back and forth. You can make slouch or straight position or straight.

The movement of Chest

It makes natural back and forth position. From making a slouching position to standing with one leg bent. The center of the body goes up and the shoulder goes down. It covers the limit of BJD with a wide range movement in the chest.

The movement of the hip

What should pursue either a standing or sitting position? Should we make it sitting with his legs together? How can we make the natural silhouette when it is wearing clothes while having a penis? The result is that it will be natural when it is standing. I am always pursuing a natural beauty when it is wearing clothes or it being naked. I am able to make this possible because of the detachable penis. I have also made it possible to have it sit with it’s legs together. I have to carve the thigh to allow the legs to come together. I made the joint between the hip and thigh look natural.

The movement of the knee joint

Either way you bend the knee it will look very natural. When wearing clothes the bending at any degree or angle looks very natural. When you bend the knees at step one and two; it can make a better and more natural pose. Always start by bending in to step one before bending directly to step two./

The movement of the Ankle Joint

The movement of the ankle is about 10 degrees. When the legs are spread the feet will be flat on the ground. It will look very natural when sitting. The range allows for it to bend forward or stand straight in the standing position.

The movement of the Elbow Joint

The elbow bends naturally just like our own. With the natural range in motion it also has a natural silhouette. The degree of bending is very natural when the doll is wearing clothes. When you bend the arms at step one and two; it can make a better and more natural pose. Always start by bending in to step one before bending directly to step two.

The movement of the Wrist Joint

It bends in a 360 degree motion. This allows the wrist movement to be very natural. The natural movement is very important when making a pose. The hand can express as much as the face. It can go to any parts on the body from touching its face or even its hips. This allows for very natural posing and look.

    • Thank you that you think this body is graceful.

      The body prototype has been done earlier than we expected so I’m trying to make the shipping earlier as well.
      The producing of head also has been started.

      Sincerely yours,

  • Given that these bodies are resin and not, as you point out, flesh-and-blood, I think that you have been able to create a very nice range of movement with them.

    It is always difficult to make dolls sit and look natural. It looks like the buttocks do not splay out in an unnatural way when this body is seated.

    Thank you for your beautiful work.

    • I have made the mobility waide as much as I can. As long as it doesn’t harm its body lines. To look natural when he is sitting, I have to make his hip joint wider and bigger.
      I kept its silhouette and customized each joints along the body line.
      Thank you for your nice opinion about the mobility of him.

      Sincerely yours,

  • Absolutely beautiful! Looks like Bermann on the Mystic is going to be my favorite doll in terms of posting. Will this body have silicone inserts in the joints as well?

    • Thank you that you think it’s beautiful. I’m making Bermann head that would go well with the Mystic body.
      There are not enough gap to put into Silicon so there is no Silicon for this body. I have changed its mobility of joint instead.

    • Thank you for saying that it’s wonderful. It would be much better is you see it in person.
      It’s hard to show many things in the picture.

    • Thank you for saying that it is beautiful.
      Its Movable structure is very easy. I make the structure simple so there are many benefits.

  • This body is so beautifully graceful. He looks like he could start dancing and that he could model any kind of clothing from any style or period of history.

    I have a question:
    How big is the Leo head on this body (circumference cm)?
    I ask, because we all know Bermann and other anime/manga boys to be a more stylized rather than natural-looking heads. The Leo head looks really small on this body… Will the Bermann head be this small, or will it be a little bit bigger, for a more stylized “doll” look? Like here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/toudacreate/8369803161/in/faves-25758390@N07/

    Thank you.
    Love,

    • I tried to make it graceful. I’m happy that you felt it. It would be fun to make him dancing.

      The circumstance of Leo’s head is 8.5inch(21.59cm). You can use 8-8.5 inch(20.32-21.59cm) wig for him. The proportion is real person so his eyes and head are smaller than usual BJD dolls. That’s why it looks much smaller.

      New Bermann head would be bigger than Leo. Because Bermann’s eyes are bigger and looks like more Classic dollish. It wouldn’t be that big in the link. It will be made to be suit for Mystic body.

      Sincerely yours,

  • I must admit…this body is starting to grow on me (as in, I’m starting to like it, for you translators). I like the torso and the poseability is very good. At first I didn’t like the chest joint because it was so different from the original bodies and pure body (which I love), but I see it looks very pretty and natural. I still think the shoulders should be pushed back just a little bit, and the forearms and legs need a little more fleshing out.

    • All parts have convenient movement. It can turn to any side from back and forth, and right to left so it can get a wide arrange of natural positions even it is wearing clothes.

      Thank you for your advice about shoulders and legs. However, the new 18M Mystic body is what I intended to make from the beginning and also if I change even one part it has to be modified in whole parts.

      Everyone has different opinions so I reflect some opinions as much as I can but I wouldn’t change its silhouette. I think my intend has embodied in the body.
      Thank you for your opinion:)

      Sincerely yours,
      DollShe-Ki-yong

  • I agree with @MIFFIMIFSTER — the Leonardo head is beautifully-sculpted and realistic, but I am hoping that the renewed Bermann head retains its original size/proportions.

    He’ll fit in well with my three Hounds, if his face and head are still the same approximate size as the original Bermanns.

    I’m buying this doll sight-unseen, on faith, because Bermann has been a grail doll for me since my earliest days in the hobby.

    This new body is spectacular, and I can’t wait to see the renewed Bermann head on it, as long as the head doesn’t shrink in size.

    Thank you again for giving us this opportunity! <3

      New Bermann head would be bigger than Leo. Because Bermann’s eyes are bigger and looks like more Classic dollish. However, I can’t make the head as big as Hound. The size of Hound doesn’t suit for Mystic body.

  • Dear Dollshe,
    Would you please take some photos of this new body next to the old Hound/Pure body? It will give us all a better idea of the height, width, neck differences…

    Thank you very much.

  • We will prepare the comparing picture and show you later.
    Once the new Bermann head is done we will take pictures of comparing new one and Old 18M bodies.
    Please check the picture that we uploaded before frist. That shows you comparing Old 18M body and new 18M Mystic body.

    Sincerely yours,
    DollShe-Ki-yong

  • The Mystic body is beautiful and the posing looks so natural. While this body is rather different from the old body, it still has the essence of the old body. I think that the remade Bermann, Saint, and Bernard will look wonderful on this body and I believe that they will be just as beautiful as the body, if not more so.
    I am looking forward to seeing the heads and more of the Mystic body, and hope that I will one day be able to own one. Thank you for continuing to create such beautiful dolls, it is always exciting to see what you come up with.

    • Thank you for you think the Mystic Body is Beautiful. Bermann, Saint, Bernard will be designed to be suit for the body. I’m trying to make harmony on my sculpture. I will make them beautiful as I did for the new body.

      I’m working hard to show the heads in 2-3 weeks. I want to show you as soon as possible, but I want to show everyone the perfect heads

      I’m happy that you are happy for my dolls.

      Sincerely yours,
      DollShe-Ki-yong

  • My gosh! His movement is perfect. I wish I could afford one of these guys. Maybe sometime in the future I might be able to purchase one. This is the first doll I have seen that has a chest joint that I like. It is very fluid and almost seamless. You have done really well.

  • Have you posted the measurements for new Mystic body yet? I did not see them. I am most interested to know how Mystic body’s measurements compare with Old Hound Body. I was hoping they would be able to share clothes.

    The thing about new bodies is that they can be beautiful and innovative, but if they aren’t a standard size they can be difficult to find clothing for.

    Congrats on your latest sculpture!

    ~Lyn
