Custom House White Resin

[cloverfirefly]

What kind of white is Custom House's white resin? White-white, pink-white, yellow-white? Now that they are allowing white resin as an option for ordering their basic dolls, inquiring minds want to know! ;)

From what I've seen, it's more of a yellowy-white. I've got some comparison pictures here (http://no-gentlemen.net/sdc.php) and here (http://no-gentlemen.net/photo/compare/resins-bw.jpg). But keep in mind, this is one of their older dolls, so they may have changed the resin at this point. It wouldn't surprise me with all the other changes they've been making. But maybe that'll help a little anyway? XD

I have a white Benus that I got this past spring, and he's more of a pinky white, but overall he's pretty darn just....white. In comparing him with Marsh's older (by maybe a year, if that) white Hades, it's a noticeable difference; the older resin is a creamier tone and the newer is pinky.

...don't seem to have any comparison pics handy, but hope that's of some minor help. -_-

Thank you very much, that's actually a great help. :)

I just got a Mars myself (he's normal skin) and was surprised how pink he was. I remembered Custom House's resin being a lot yellower, so I guess their new resin is a lot pinker. :oops

Pictures welcome if anyone has some.

Yup, just to confirm what Hitasura said, there has been a couple different whites from Customhouse. The CH doll in her photos is mine, a Young Han from 2004. He definitely has a yellow undertone.

There were also a few oddball skintones in there, such as the dolls produced for Domuya. The new white is a pinky white.

Okay, got some half-decent (which is as decent as I can get in my apartment, sadly) lighting today at lunch and grabbed a couple pics of Azrael (Marsh's Hades for Valentine) and Asuriel (my Irreplaceable - Benus):

Full body with flash--Azrael (older white resin) is on the left, Asuriel (newer) is on the right.

No flash.

Silly posing, no flash. ^_^;;

These pics still aren't 100% true to color, and to be fair Azrael (Hades) has yellowed just a little over the months--but not a ton, and no way was he ever as pinky as Asuriel. Neither of them has ever been blushed, though both have been MSC'ed; I don't think it changed their color any.

Hope these are of some help!

Thanks, guys. :D I kind of like the old yellow resin better, but I think the newer stuff will match up better with what I have in mind.
