Distant Memory - Rad discussion!!

I'm seriously considering finding a Korean shopping service to order a head if no international ordering period shows up. I'm guessing that since there Korean prices for both the head, body, and full doll you can order the head seperately. Or at least I am hoping.

My Peroth is the queen of my heart and he is without a doubt my favourite doll. And I could use a head that would work as his younger brother, and Rad reminds me of Peroth, but not as elegant or pretty. The younger brother is not as pretty as his older brother.

 

I'm not sure yet about the head, but I do know that I want that body for my Peroth. He's been floating without a body for years now, since back when I bought him directly from Esthy in her one international order period, and that body is exactly what I want for him.

I've been poking around on the site, but can't find any information about whether this new body is compatible (fit and resin color) with the Peroth head. Anyone been able to find this out?

EDIT: Also, according to the Rad 주문공지 section of the order board, there are currently 10 dolls already cast and ready for shipping. Once those 10 are sold, waiting/production time will be able one month. It does not say (as far as I can tell) what the time period for this order will be, or whether it will be limited (as Esthy's past orders have been) or non-limited.

 

I'd love to find out more about the resin color of that body, I'm really digging the build and height of it. If it matches SDF realskin it will be perfect for me. The head is cute but I don't know what I'd use him for and I've about hit my dollie limit. I don't need another floating head.

Is she only selling to Korea? Does she ever put things up for sale on Y!J?

 

I like his lips, but his box nose and too far apart eyes aren't my thing. :]; -waves flags for Peroth-

 

The description of the body colour makes me think it's probably going to be like the old normal tone that was used for the Peroth release. I hope it's going to be compatible with the SD13 body. That's what I keep my Peroth on and this new body is too tall and skinny for me.

I think Rad has smaller eyes and the nose is definitely different. Broader and more flat across the bridge.

 

I'm excited about him, I just hope that we can find someone who will help in purchasing him. What shopping services can translate in korean?

 

Well, I just posted a message in what is surely badly-garbled Korean (with an English version of the same questions underneath) on her Q&A board. Here's to hoping I didn't make too big a fool of myself. ^_^;;

Basically, I asked if the new body is compatible with the old Peroth heads, as far as fit and resin color goes. I also asked if the Rad doll will be available for order internationally. I'll let everyone here know if I get a response.

 

When I first saw this I thought peroth? Even before I read the comments that Esthy made this XDDD

But this new mold definitely looks like a modded peroth rather than a new doll. I hope Esthy makes bodies to match old peroths (especially WS) too.

Rad is cute but I love my peroth and his huge lip more *cuddles*

 

Okay, got an answer from Sardonyx (the other half of Distant Memory, as I understand it), who apparently speaks English far better than I can translate Korean. ^_^;; She thanked me for my efforts, though, which made me grin.

So, the head fit would possibly require modification, the resin match is a possible-but-probably-not, and while they won't sell head and body separately, they do accept international orders. WIN!!!! I've GOT to get one, as soon as I have my next paycheck.

 

he is beautiful! i wonder how much he will be?

how do people do international orders?

 

He'll run about $700 + EMS costs, for international orders. They stated on the website that they'll accept international orders starting on November 20th.

Here's a link to their English order board:

LOL now I'm tempted to get my Peroth yet another brother O_O (he has 2 brothers already >_< maybe grow up his baby brother into an older brother >:3 )

 

Awesome that they will take international orders and that he doesn't seem to be limited, if I am reading that right. Though poo, I'm going to have to organize a split since I only want the head.

Edit - there is an English order board up now, and on that one at least, you can purchase the head and body seperately. Now to go count my pennies and sell things so I can order him!

I'm amused that a number of us what him as a sibling to our Peroths.

 

Woohoo! So he's $150 + $22 shipping. Excellent!!!

 

when I follow the distant memory links y'all have so kindly included (thanks!), I get an error page in Korean. best I can tell the site has reached their maximum bandwidth usage for (whatever time period). I hope they manage to get back up and running soon!

 

Is the resin color a match to Volks for Rad now that she sells body? Sardonyx said that they do not sell body and head separately, but only as a package due to this resin unable to match others?

Wait I saw the price listing now XD I guess you can buy seperate parts?

The head + the Body(full set): $700
The head: $150
The body: $570

But it doesn't look to be a match to Volks from what I can see. It looks a little pink.

 

If I can get just the head, then I'm totally getting him. He's too gorgeous to say no to! I'm worried though about what he will match...

 

*sigh* I really like his face.. there is too much temptation going around.

 

i want one...

 

Does anyone know how payment works? I'm confused as to the method of payment and when exactly you pay if you order...

 

oh man his face is beautiful @___@ i want one but too expensive for me

 

I need him o.o .. I just need him. I've wanted a Peroth ever since I first saw one but his nose .. there's no words for that. I just hate it. And while Rad's is not perfect either (I really have some serious nose problems with dolls ) I like it a lot more o_o .. so yes, I definitely need him.

 

PEROTH BROTHER. Weeeeeeeeeee! *-*

Man, I never thought I'd find a doll so close to a Peroth. OMG Esthylove 3

 

'We only accept paypal with abroad payment.

Paypal website: http://www.paypal.com
Receiver: [email protected]'

And I'm assuming you pay when you order, stating what address/name you paid with ^^

 

UGH! i want him so bad ;o; his boxy nose is kinda making me miffy but i loveeee his eyes @.@

 

Thanks hiritai! I haven't been able to get the website to display right for some reason so I keep missing necessary info!

 

Does anyone know if they take layaway? Because he's gorgeous but on the pricey side, and I'm supposed to be saving for other things at the moment...

 

awww~ he's so handsome, but nothing like Peroth. I like his softer looking lips, the eyes which are slightly wider apart and a bit more open. He does look like a modded Peroth, with a slightly rounder face. I noticed the head is slightly bigger then Peroth as well.

Not sure If I'll order him, depends on weather or not he's limited or not, I have a weakness for collecting limiteds but he does look too much like Peroth, and I probably wind up modding him. Nah, I think I'll stick to my modded Elf Peroths...

I clicked on the body gallery hoping that I'd fall in love with the body, I drooled over the first few pics with his well defined neck and collarbones, but...*Sighs* Alas, His legs are so skinny! I don't like guys with stick-thin legs and it put me off.

I wounder if Esthy will ever make us a Elf-boy or a sleeping head?

 

Does anyone know if this head will be limited yet?

 

No, Rad is not limited. I asked and Sardonyx said he isn't.

 

Oh okay cool x3 thank you!

I've put my order up so hopefully i get a reply soon

 

Why is the shipping cost for just a head $50 to Australia when it is $15-22 for everywhere else??

I can only see the top few lines of each post and am having to copy paste the contents into NotePad/TextEdit to read them. I'm using Firefox2, no posts even show up in Safari, and my IE version is outdated. Urgh, I can't even post a message as the page is cut off before the "Send" button?

ETA: Maybe the shipping prices are a mis-typing, since they list the same prices for 1,2,3 bodies as for 1-2,3-4 and 5-6 heads only. The more I look the more I need this head...

 

It would be possible to get someone in america [like me] to order your head along with my own, then ship it through a cheaper but still safe method right?

i need him too! but there hasnt been a reply to my order post ;o;

 

Well, they did say they were not accepting orders until after the 20th. I'm holding off until then to place my own.

 

Hatter, the thought had crossed my mind and I have contacted a friend about it. He's not limited so I guess there is no need to stress about it... just can't help it when I suddenly get palpitations over a new sculpt.

 

Have you tried clicking on the top part of the text that you see and then just hitting the down arrow on your keyboard to scroll? I use firefox, too and that works perfectly for me.

 

Hatsya, OMG that works, thank you so much!!!! I was using the mouse wheel which did nothing. And now I have both posted a question AND placed an order XD

 

twigling: You are very welcome I'm tempted to place my order as well lol

 

yeah thats true :/ i guess because i saw all the other order posts had replys i was confused

 

Is it bad im posting so much here D: ?
It's teh 20th but still no reply to my order post :/

 

Now im kind of upset :/ there are people on there who's orders are already marked as 'payment recieved' who placed theirs after me and are also abroad. I haven't even gotten a reply yet ;o;

 

They never replied to my order, but Sardonyx replied to my question on the Q&A board so I too a punt and sent payment and then the order got marked as payment sent, which I guess means they got my payment. The only reply on my thread is where I commented on my own thread to say I sent payment. I originally posted an order before the 20th, but deleted that and made a new post on the 21st.

 

yeah i deleted mine and made a new one for the same reason :/ but i hope someone replies to me so i know my order is confirmed and stuff

 

They won't confirm until you pay is my understanding.

 

Really? Where do you send the money too then ?

 

It tells you in the Order & Prices notice here:

 

whee ordered & paid for mine x3 this discussion is kinda dead ): ? has anyone recieved theirs yet?

 

Holding off on ordering mine until my next payday. Did she ever post how long production was going to take to any of the people who are payment confirmed?

 

They said about 30 days before it would ship out. I ordered just a head though.

 

Scratch that. I just checked the site and I have been given a tracking number. Aaaand according to tracking the head should arrive tomorrow. Yay, what a nice surprise

 

How exciting! Please post photos and stuff once he arrives!

 

Yaaay okay so i ordered just a head and have been marked as payment recieved. Now i will post again when i get my tracking so people who are having just a head shipped can possibly have a general idea of the time frame. Hopefully this is okay x3

 

My turn around was about a week.. I dunno when I was given the tracking number as I hadn't checked the site for a few days when I had a look yesterday. And that week includes transit time since the tracking number indicates delivery today.

They did say they had 10 full dolls instock ready to ship, but I have no idea of they split them, or just had fast production.

 

Has he not arrived yet ? i dont know what time it is in AU but already its almost 6:30pm in the US x3

 

It's not even quite midday yet. Usually the package guy gets here in the morning, but he also usually has a LOT of packages on Mondays, so might not get here till the afternoon.

Update: Head arrived It's blank and looks just like the pics. Colour is nice and peachy yellowy creamy, I'm putting it on an oldskin Volks body for now; the head is fresh and a bit lighter, the body has probably yellowed but not too badly. Will be doing some mods to the lips and nose before sending out to faceup when my : artist opens up new slots.

 

oooo x3 are you going to take any pics to show or are you going to wait till hes painted?

 

No pics till he (she's) modded and painted, sorry.

 

Just ordered and paid for my two heads. I hope they ship as fast as the previous ones.
