Does AOD offer tan?/ Which RS/BBB girl makes a good boy?

[Vetinari]

A few weeks ago they said they were going to stop - but I can't see anything about it on their site?

Actually which bjd manufacturers still offer tan skin? DZ seem to have stopped again...

Also seriously considering getting a chocolate/dark tan RS guy, but apart from Weylin - who looks too content for who I have in mind, none of their male sculpts suit the character I have planned
I'm thinking Ai on a gang body? Or maybe Xue or Yun?

Charisma makes a really good boy, and the BBB/RS dark tan can be custom ordered. It's a beautiful color! Were you looking for elf in particular?

Check out Dollmore. http://www.dollmore.net/index.php

Impledoll http://www.denverdoll.com/impldollstar.php (junkyspot can order these too)

http://www.mintoncardinc.com/dolls/index.php They have a brand called Angel Street with an elf you can order in tan skin. They also have lots of companies to look at. I think this would be your best place to look at other sculpts.

There is always Iplehouse - Yummy

Oooh thanks! Well I wasn't thinking an elf in particular - but I've seen an Ai on a gang body and it really worked!

I'm aiming for the darker end of the tan range - not quite at the level of "Ebony" as dollshe calls it but far darker than the weird orangey shades a lot of white people around here seem to paint themselves...

Edit: Ok wow - hell of a coincidence, apart from the eyes this guy is almost exactly how I'd planned him in my head!

Post 969 about halfway down the page... Darn - despite reservations about posing I think I may be ordering from BBB in the near future

The tan that my Sweet Dolls come in is more of a caramel color, but the darker tan can be picked up as a pre-order. Currently Greyhaunt is the only person receiving a dark tan Sweet Doll. Not face-uped yet, here's a slightly older shot that shows a couple of the tan heads off to the side. By now the NS heads are finished, and the WS is gonna be finished tonight. With Tan heads to be started shortly after. ^.~

Ahem....I can say from the personal experience of having JUST gotten one in the mail, that DragonDoll makes a LUSCIOUS tan....on any of their sculpts. Now I do feel their sculpts are rather hit or miss....but the hits are awesome!

Thanks guys! I'll give these companies a look; I'm trying to put together a travelling wizard guy who looks a bit desert tribey/shamany

Edit: Wow! From the site pics not a fan of dollshe sculpts but this guy is amazing - and so close to what I had in mind...
