Vispo Doll

any information about this companies dolls.

There was a thread on Vispo dolls a while back: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=13237

 

The shop has been down for a while. I used to look at their dolls, I like the dynamic style. I would have loved to see a Vispo doll with a better face-up.

vispo dot cc is a website that collects all the artists works, it looks like he has stopped making dolls altogether but process pictures and other interesting stuff is on there

I was briefly enamored with the first Vispo Rei, so I did a bit of reading up on those dolls. Here's what I can recall:

 

The bodies are a single-part torso, and I think have single-jointed elbows and knees.

They're definitely resin, as Vispo also does resin garage kits.

They're proportioned like DDs, but they're actually around MDD height, for some reason.

They were only ever sold at Wonder Festival and similar events.

These dolls are fairly uncommon, but do occasionally crop up on YJA and Mandarake. Last I saw one it was going for 90K JPY, I think? Been a couple years though.

 

For me the scale and the body's lack of articulation were kind of deal killers that kept me from seriously hunting one down, but I still think the Vispo Rei has a really lovely head.

I came across this on Manda today:  https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1114634468&ref=list&keyword=evangelion&lang=en

Now I'll need to find a good face-up artist.  

Rei is up, too:  https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1114634858&ref=list&keyword=evangelion&lang=en  Not a bad deal, with both Version 1 and 2's outfits, although some TLC and a face-up are needed.
