(Advanced Chapter) Jinwu Cangjiao - How to Dress Up Your Physical Doll and Imitation Doll

This article wants to talk about the topic of personalized dressing up for physical dolls after purchasing them. The same brand of dolls, the same doll, must be unique. Since you have already bought the doll, you definitely want it to be your only exclusive doll. Most brands on the market have only one choice for the factory difference of the same doll, whether it is a "hair transplant" or not. The price difference between whether the same doll is "hair transplant" or not is around 2000 yuan. For those who want to personalize their doll friends, they usually choose a non transplant version of the head. The advantage of the non hair transplant version is that it can not only be personalized, but also have a versatile design.

 

The personalized benefits of dolls are that you can create a unique one through dressing up. There are roughly the following types of specific settings:

 

1. Identity settings, such as Miss Qianjin, neighbor girls, and school students, etc

 

2. Career setting: such as teachers, police officers, nurses, white-collar workers, etc

 

3. Personality setting: enthusiastic and unrestrained, reserved and charming, cute and cute, etc

 

4. Relationship settings: such as sister, sister, girlfriend, wife, etc

 

The doll leaving the factory is a blank doll that needs to be adorned by the owner to give it an independent personality. In addition to the head carving and body fixation, the doll's fun lies in the hair, eyes, face makeup, clothing, accessories, and shoes can be matched as you like. Let's talk about it now.

 

1、 Wig

 

There are also many styles of wigs, including long hair, short hair, curly hair, straight hair, and various styles. There are also various colors available, and some can also be DIY shaped. There are currently three types of wig materials on the market: ordinary silk, high-temperature silk, real hair, and price and quality will all vary.

 

1. Ordinary silk: It is cheap, mostly in a fixed shape, with slightly poor quality, difficult to manage, and easy to scrap. The price ranges from 30 to 50 yuan.

 

2. High temperature silk: The price is moderate, characterized by its high temperature resistance and the ability to create various styles on your own. Most cosplay wigs are made of this type of silk, which is smooth and easy to manage. The price ranges from 60 to 200 yuan.

 

3. Real hair: It is expensive and made from human hair, with all the advantages of human hair.

 

In the first introductory article on science popularization, we talked about how to choose physical dolls - choosing the body part. The size of the doll's head is actually related to the body, and the larger the body, the larger the head. At present, the largest body on the market is around 170cm, and the smallest body is around 80cm. There is not much difference in the head size of dolls above 140cm on the market, and the head circumference is basically similar to that of normal people. As long as it is a wig that can be worn by real people, dolls can wear it, and now wigs have a tightening band at the back, which can adjust the wig's circumference size very conveniently. It's easy to buy on a certain treasure. Secondly, dolls with a body size of only about 120cm and a head circumference that is only about the size of a child are not easy to buy and there are few options available. It is recommended to buy a straight hair style directly when choosing dolls and then create your own styling. The final 80cm doll wig is almost non-existent and can only be customized.

 

2、 Eyeball

 

At present, the eyeballs of dolls on the market vary depending on the style, and they are all pre ordered by the manufacturer before leaving the factory. However, some manufacturers can choose from (currently relatively few), and the quality of the eyeballs also varies. The difference between the quality of the eyeball depends on the material and coating, followed by the color of the eyeball iris. In theory, research can be replaced because when designing physical dolls, there is a device for the eyes to fix them, and the eyes can rotate within the device. Adjusting the doll's gaze is this method. However, the removal device can only be removed from the facial orbit and requires specialized tools. Poor operation can easily damage the doll's eyes, so it is best not to try it yourself. If you need to change the eyes, you can contact the manufacturer or a professional to complete it. Eyes are the window of the soul, and a pair of special eyeballs undoubtedly make your doll not only special but also dazzling.

 

3、 Facial makeup

 

The head of the physical doll is also made of silicone and TPE materials, and the face makeup is already available when the doll leaves the factory, all of which are mass-produced by professional craftsmen.

 

1. The makeup made of Tpe material is relatively simple, usually only consisting of eye and lip makeup. Due to the material, the adhesion is not strong, and it may fade or even fade after frequent cleaning over time. Nowadays, many manufacturers have makeup repair services, and you can consult on your own.

 

2. Silicone based makeup is quite delicate, almost the entire face is covered, and some are even fine to the point of capillary markings. Due to the unique characteristics of the material, special pigments are used, and once cleaned in the later stage of makeup, most of the makeup will not fall off. However, it is also important to avoid wear and tear, as silicone makeup wear and tear is irreversible.

 

Nowadays, many people, in pursuit of individuality, also make up their dolls themselves, mostly using real person cosmetics. One thing to pay attention to here is the dyeing problem. Generally, real person cosmetics are designed for real skin with strong adhesion, but dolls may have poor retention time. However, there are also professionals who use special pigments to modify dolls, and you can also consult on your own.

 

4、 Clothing

 

Choosing clothing is the most intuitive aspect that reflects the personality of dolls. The advantage of physical dolls is that they are 1:1 real people, and can be purchased directly on the market with a variety of styles and different prices. There are generally several types of doll clothing:

 

1. Daily clothing: This type of clothing is the most common, that is, the clothes and pants we wear on a daily basis can be bought by a certain treasure, with many styles.

 

2. Professional clothing: also known as uniforms, JK student uniforms, OL uniforms, teachers, nurses, police, soldiers, etc., can be used to set the doll's profession.

 

3. anime clothing: cosplay clothing, lolita clothing, dead tank water and other friends who choose this piece of clothing are generally anime lovers, mainly customized.

 

4. Funny clothes: Playboy Bunny, bikini and underwear belong to this kind of clothes, which are sexy, hot, soft and cute. After wearing them, they can increase the appeal in both vision and touch.

 

The selection of physical doll clothing is also determined based on the height of the doll's body, and the size of each doll of the same height may also vary. The general principle of clothes purchase is as follows: dolls over 150cm can directly purchase clothes of this person. Each manufacturer has different sizes, so there is only one stupid way to buy and try them on. The clothes of a treasure are basically returned without reason, so everyone can only tolerate Dim sum. For dolls around 120cm in size, you can consider choosing children's clothing. If you choose the same size as adults, you still need to try it on your own. I believe that your love for your dolls will definitely lead you to choose the clothes you like.

 

5、 Shoes

 

The size of the doll shoes needs to be referenced by the manufacturer, and the foot shape of the doll also varies. It is still necessary to try and make mistakes when buying them. In terms of matching, it depends on the clothing style. This is not much to say here, everyone has their own aesthetic, and it is important to note that wearing shoes does not cause significant damage to the doll. For more information, please refer to my advanced article on how to store dolls.

 

6： Accessories

 

Accessories serve as the finishing touch, including various hats, headgear, hair clips, etc. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, ankles, etc. worn on the body. Accessories such as brooches, corsage, school emblem, neckties, etc. on clothing. Silk stockings and tattoo stickers for legs and feet. It also includes some props, items held in hand, items carried on the back of the body, etc., which also need to be matched according to your own doll's settings.

 

Alright, there are a total of 4 posts from the introductory, advanced, and advanced sections of science popularization. As a physical doll enthusiast, I am posting for the first time.
