B&G dolls anyone have one yet?

[Captain Schlumpy]

I was just wondering if anyone had one of these dolls yet? Sky has caught my eye but I can't seem to find any information about them other than where to order. I'd like to know about the quality and if the resin matches any other company.
Thanks!

I've seen them around in the Gallery, but I am curious to know all these questions too! ^^ <3 They look promising!<3

I've found a few on DoA and those who have them seem really happy. Apparently junkyspot carries them but I don't see them on their site. The european rep was getting some bad reviews though.

I have one ^^
She's lovely!

The resin is really nice and the B&G white skin matches CP BW.

[Captain Schlumpy]

Excellent! good to know. Did you buy from the dealer on DoA or from another source?

I bought from Layla_mi on DoA ^^
She was pretty awesome for a dealer, too; good comunication and answered all my questions. My friend and I did a combined order (two 1/4 girls) to save on shipping costs; we got free outfits, too! :D

@_@ I actually received both dolls less than two weeks after ordering.
I think B&G has extra dolls on hand or something, because it was fast. And our free gift outfits were really nice quality, too!

The dealer/item photos of the nude dolls really don't do them justice; IRL the body sculpt is very sweet.
Although I did have to do some light finger seperation and sand down the pointy nipples of death :X

I have some body detail shots. I could post them if you're interested. :3

I know someone who got one of these, and she says that it is very nice :).

I'd love to see some body shots, thanks for the offer!

I have a Sky on my wishlist. Just have to clear out some of my current projects and I shall to acquire one. :pirate

Everything I have heard and seen about them thus far has been good.

I'd like to see the detail shots as well ^^

Its good to know that they match Luts BW skin *_* <3

Okay! My detail shots!

Inner head mechanics; twist & lock headcap, rotate S-hook 90 degrees to release the head for face-ups etc (body stays intact)

Edit to Add:
CP BW resin is as close to a perfect match you can get, however, the wrist ball joints of the MNF hands are too small for the B&G 1/4 wrists. ;_;
I'm currently working on getting a pair of Kid Delf hands to see if those are a better fit. ^^

[Captain Schlumpy]

awesome! Thank you so much for these! The commentary was great too! She does have cute feet! :)

Sorry I'm kinda resurrecting this thread but I just saw this. I have a Sky and I also have nothing but good things to say about my whole experience with B&G.

I ordered from Layla_mi on DoA, she was very quick to respond and answer my questions. I got a tracking number in less than a week and he arrived at my door less than two weeks after ordering, [I ordered him without a faceup]. I am very impressed with the over all quality and aesthetic of him. The resin is substantial and heavy, he is well sculpted and he really almost compares to my CP dolls over all.

I got to choose the color of his eyes and an outfit for him to come with, they were Heise outfits. He also came in a white t-shirt and shorts. His box is that nice pressboard stuff, not cardboard.

Only complaints: The box did not have an exterior box that it was shipped in. His actual box was only wrapped in bubblewrap and then brown craft paper. This allowed for some of the edges of the box to become smooshed in transit, [the dolls was fine]. Also, the hole in his head for the s-hook to go into is very narrow. When they strung him, they left the knots at the top so the s-hook was unable to go through the slot. So they just sort of left his head kinda of half on. One of the resin pieces that holds the headcap on broke off because of this. It wasn't worth complaining over so I just keep his headcap on with the tape I use to keep his wig in place.

Overall, I am very, very impressed with this doll. WELL worth the $300 I paid for him. The Heise outfit alone is probably worth at least $50.

Other things to note:
-His eyes are HUGE. I have 20mm eyes in mine but they look fine.
-I didn't really like the sculpting of the hands, personally, but they are very easily switched out with CP hands, [I did that will mine].
-The middle joint is kinda pointless, he functions like a solid torso doll, but the joint isn't unsightly.
-The body is very slender in comparison to CP. Pants that are a little tight on my El are almost falling off my Sky. The body is sculpted more like a teenager, [which was what I wanted].

wow! thanks! I am definately purchasing one of these as soon as I can. I love the look and I need a teenage type for my crew as well. He's really gorgeous!

Wow..These molds are interesting, something I may look to when I get the funds for it.
