151B Rong doll with wider shoulders and head examples

PartThree · Post by **PartThree** » Thu May 23, 2024 10:39 am

Starpery mentioned that the mold was being changed for a wider shoulder (34cm) to accommodate the regular line of heads. I was sent these photos but I can't tell if any are ROS heads. I think 3 of the 4 shown are.
Anyhow, FYI. I like the look of one or two of the ROS heads on this body, especially Natalia. For a doll with head under 25kg, I think it might be worth putting one more in the collection...

Looks good to me. Kudos to starpery for making this change.

Natalia & Julie (so cute!) seem to be in proportion. But… are the shoulders now too wide for the upper torso?

I asked a few follow up questions but the Starpery rep isn't on the forum all that often...

I don't know if these pictured heads are ROS heads, but I can confirm that Amy, Natalia, and Hedy are all available as ROS heads. Julie is still in the works.

Right, that's understood. But since the ROS/non-ROS heads look slightly different, I was curious whether the one's shown in the photos provided were ROS or not. Based on other photos, I THINK that all but Julie do represent the ROS heads. To my eye the mouth openings and the width of the lower jaw seem to match. If that's the case, they look good especially Natalia, which is my fave. But I'd like to see more 360 photos of the new Rong with wider shoulders and the new silicone mix before I pull the trigger. I

've given up finding a "realistic" figure between 150cm-155cm with F/G cups AND under 60lbs. Rong's projected weight, if it holds, is close to that ideal so I could live with it...I really wish the 148cm F cup was on the WR4 timeline...

The problem is that Starpery widened the shoulders without widening the bust. As a result there is a significant gap in the armpits which is not at all natural in my opinion.
So if this modified body can go with more heads, it has lost its harmony. I think scaling down a few heads would have been a better solution to expand the choice with this body.

Very good news

I could live with the Natalia head as presented. A flatter, straight wig (Auburn?) would better narrow the head a bit. I just wish there was something in this size and weight with boobs that actually move with gravity. I'm a bit weary of the middle aged boob job look...

Have Starpery given a timeline on the Julie ROS head do you know? Julie is the only other head I'd want on my 151 other than Rong.

You might be onto something.

Even so...

Amy & Heady - passable. (some heads are still going to work better then others)

Natalia - the head and body's skin-tones are off (probably old wheat skin-tone head on new wheat body) But once you see it, you cant un-see it.

Julie - Julie looks Great!

Note: On the topic of wider shoulders: I have thought ALL the doll models could use wider shoulders. With taller dolls at or around 38cm would be great - But this comes from a "Western" body type/mind set.

*The 151, after the new weight reduction, is going to be a VERY easy doll to pick-up and move around.

Julie is the RIGHT head for this body, but I think if they color matched the Natalia head I'd go for it...

That's what I'm hoping for. I have my order in with WR4.0.

How about the Elizabeth head? On both the newer and original Rong bodies?

A few years back, Starpery said on their website Elizabeth was compatible with the Rong body (other heads being too large.

Could we also see Julie head on the regular Rong body, please.
