Comparing

1/5/2021

10 Comments

 
When SartoriaJ first released Jude, many people thought he was just a Rex knock-off.  I also thought that he looked an awful lot like Rex.  After all, both the company owners used to work for Iplehouse, so it was quite possible that some of their sculpts might look similar. But in reality, the two guys are very different.....
Picture
Jude has the Athletic51 body, which is comparable to Iple's FID Muscle body, although a few centimetres taller, while Rex has Iple's Model body. Jude's head is also a little bigger, and his Amber Beige resin has more of a 'yellow' undertone, compared to Iple's Special real skin, which seems pale and more pink in comparison. And Jude's faceup is far superior. 

Here he is with Rex, and Lawrence, who has Iple's Muscle body, and is a tiny bit taller than Rex....  
Picture
And how does he fit with their families?  Well, other than not being the least bit period appropriate at the moment, he fits in just fine....
Picture
Which made me wonder about a lady friend? So I introduced Raccoon Rosie and Iple's Grace...
Picture
Definitely not Rosie, and maybe not even Grace.  He'd probably fit best with someone of his own species, but I'm not ready to order one of those. SartoriaJ has some really gorgeous ladies, but I'm really not a fan of their new super curvy bodies.  So I guess we'll see.....

I enjoyed seeing the comparison as I did not know about this doll.

He is quite handsome. I am sure that he will find a ladylove soon enough. In the meantime, I bet he will enjoy being single.

He is awesome. He really needs someone special besides him.
I could imagine him with Mari. I've got her with the Addiction-Makeup BType and she is stunning. Bianca fades next to her. I've included a link, if you'd like to take a look. http://puppenbasar.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Mari-und-Bianca.jpg

It's great that there's so many ladies to choose from, so then everyone can have their favourites. To me, Bianca is my favourite of all the Iple ladies, and Marie does nothing for me.

That's true. :-) I love them both. They just need a little bit of space between them.
And i'm allready curious which lady will find her way to Jude's heart.

Thank you :). You are right, they could be brothers, but there are still enough differences to make Jude a lot more than a knock-off. They both have these wonderfully ancient Greek statue lips and the cleft chin. But honestly, one can't have enough of those, right? As for the Lady: Maybe one of the more androgynous looking girls like Raffine or Doria?

No, never enough of those.

I'm not fond of Raffine, and I wouldn't get Doria (as much as I like her) mainly because I'd be tempted to replace Monica with her. To be honest none of the other Iple ladies really speak to me, so I'll see if I ever get another. Now, the guys are a different story.

I like your boys A LOT! (Ok, make that love!) You have a knack for seeing them differently than they are portrayed by IH or RD. I don't think I would ever have picked Jude from their pictures, but now, I don't know if I can live without him. lol

I just try to see past their costumes and wigs, and imagine them as I'd do them. And I'm very particular. Jude was the only one of their guys that spoke to me, and he didn't do a thing for me in their other resin colours or faceups.

I've had this bookmarked for a long time. She'd be pretty if you could get this type of faceup for her. I guess the B version on IH is close though.

She's too young looking. Like I said, I'm very particular, and I really have to love a doll and see their potential before I'd go for it. At the moment none of the Iple ladies do it for me, but there are one or two SJ ones that are very beautiful. I just don't care for their Aphrodite body.
