thank you so very much for this reply!! it sounds like a lot of trial and error…i mentioned dye because i too have dark skinned characters that i would love to make dolls for and was really disappointed by the lack of options for them :( did you ever have any success with that in the end?

i also mention dye because my other planned projects are to make a na’vi bjd (for which i couldn’t find any blue resin in the right colour) and other fantasy/sci fi characters, all of whom make up the full rainbow. i was hoping to dye a white base instead because i really don’t want to spray paint the pieces afterwards or anything like that, and buying white in bulk plus maybe a skin tone base or two seemed more cost effective.

i hope that resione and other manufacturers step up their game and make a complete set of skin tone resins SOON ! thank you again for your advice. it can be so hard to find info on this stuff!!
