Hello, I'm considering buying my first Doll Leaves doll. I totally fell in love with the new gray Andy. It seems that he's the first boy to be made in gray so I'm going to have to do my research on their gray resin. Other than that how is the quality of doll leaves overall? It's a fairly new company only been around for three years. I would like love to hear some feedback. Thanks!
Well I have several of their dolls in SD and MSD and I love the all. The quality of their face ups if you are getting from them is very well done. They look almost like the pictures. The MSD girls I have are the grey skin and I have to say that it is very lovely. It is a light grey with a blue tint to it. It's very had to explain. I have also been eying Andy in grey as I am extremly fond of my grey girls and I think he looks wonderful in his promo pics. I would suggest going over to the MSD thread and looking at the pictures of the grey girls there. http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?535302-Doll-Leaves-MSD-45-cm-Discussion-part-2. Good look and hope to see pictures of him soon.
Thank you strr99. I'll check that thread for inquires about the gray resin. Since you own SD, hows the body construction? Do they have severe seam lines? And how do the pose, can they stand on their own? Thank you.
The male body if very nice. They look manly but not to manly. I cant't recall if it's a three part torso or not. I know for sure the girls are, I can check on that and let you know a little later. No seam lines that I can see. I have not had any problems standing him. I think that some people have had problems with the girl bodies and standing. I know that I do struggle with the girls. I think those that have stuggled with standing fixed the issue with hot glue. You may also want to youtube asenvabjd she has a review on Doll Leaves bodies. I think over all these dolls are underrated. I love mine!!
I have the male body, RyokoDWolfwood, and it has a torso part and a waist connector, if that counts as two? I just love the joints in the DS bodies, i actually sold one of my DZ MSD boys to pay for the SD DS, and it was totally worth it! I agree with str99, no issues standing, no seam lines, and not to buff or scary looking :-) I have had some experience with grey/purple bodies, and while that was a Bobobie, DS seems to be really good with keeping the bodies one tone, so let me know how your research goes with DS grey bodies!
Hi everyone~!!^^ I'm really in love with the new Doll Leaves 60 cm boy body, I'm planning to buy one for my floating head, though I'm really unsure about everything ;_; I don't know anything about the color matches. As in normal skin... is it more like a pinkish tone, or a yellow one? Can soeone help me please?;3; I also don't know about the proportions, I guess my head is kinda big and I'm afraid that he would turn out to be a balloon-head on the body :<
The body i have allegedly is for normal skin (i think) and it's more yellowish than pink, though that may be due to age. The heads are a little big, but they don't look balloonish on the DS body. I put a smaller head on recently, in fact, and it looked strange haha.
I've got 2 DL 60cm boys and they pose pretty well. They do need sueding though, to pose reallllly well
Hey! I don't currently have a DollLeaves doll, but I had a Normal Skin Noir recently, and I did some hybrid experimentation with him, let me tell you what I remember. The resin color is more pink than yellow, and a little darker than some "normal pink" resins, but not unusually dark. The color was close to Illusion Spirit Normal Pink (I think darker, but don't rememember), close to AngelsDoll Normal Pink (but a little darker), close to MiroDoll normal (but a little darker). At any rate, it's a very lovely resin color! Very natural. As for proportions. . . I personally do not like fat-headed looking dolls, so I prefer Doll Leaves male body size with a smaller 8-9inch head and I think it does not look as good with a 9-10inch head (and their head sculpts tend to be larger). I can't tell you much about pose-ability of the new body because I had an old body (but cast recently, at the same time as the new body) -- all I can tell you is that I found the posing of the old body wacky and problematic, and that the resin color is lovely and pretty easy to make hybrids with, especially if all you need is a very close match. Hope any of that is helpful!
I have the new version of the boy body. I find he poses pretty well. I did suede his wrists since his hands would flip up at odd times. Here I have taken advantage of the hand-flipping. I hope this does not come out as a duplicate post: my previous attempt never appeared.
I just received my Rihito (DL Myron), and I actually was not expecting how tall he was (though I've had a comparison with my dear Ersha (DOD Homme Ivan) and have known he is 17 cms taller... I suppose it never really settled in my head). Haha. I was a bit uncomfortable with him at first, but I am starting to have a lot of fun with him. Sadly, I cannot sew him clothes until tomorrow as my family came over and it's quite hectic. I suppose I never really processed that white skin would be extremely pale, so when I received him and he was standing near Ersha, I felt kind of offput. This is just a beginner's experience, I suppose. Anyways, I really like Myron and DL altogether.
I did not get Rihito any clothing and his wig is on the way here... He's completely bare at this moment. Also, forgive the blurriness. I have extremely shaky hands and was unable to focus as much as I hoped. Also forgive my messy room... haha. This is a close up so that you can see his makeup. And this is a fullbody photo~
TurtleJen: Eeeep~ Thank you. Q7Q!! I want to make him clothes soon but I have so much work today (I'm procrastinating at this very moment pfff).. His brother Ersha wants to dress him up as well. Hahaha~
Thought I'd pop in here with some reference pics. A month ago I received a grey skin Andy head that I was planning on using to make a hybrid but his grey resin was far paler than I was expecting...a beautiful colour but just a very unique icey grey. As there aren't any other blank Andy head pics out there and very few owners of this gorgeous boy I thought I'd add this one here. You can find several other pics of this head in my Flikr account here:- https://www.flickr.com/photos/jenkat/sets/72157638097578854
He is so cute. I really love the grey that DS uses. I have both MSD girls in the grey and I love them in this color. He has been the only boy in a long time to tempt me.
I tend to love grey resin to begin with and Doll-Leaves' grey is a really unique icey colour by comparison to most, so I'd have to say I love this colour too. Looks great on Andy ^^
Thanks for sharing that JenKat. I'm planning on getting a grey Andy too and this helps a lot. Yeah that grey is really light compared to other companies such as Soom or Pipos. It's hard to see from your picture that he's actually grey. I agree looks very icy grey, the company pictures make him look darker but a light grey is nice too.
Hello, everyone This is my Doll Leaves 60cm boy - Haku (Doll Leaves Anthony). I know this not the most popular from molds DS...
This discussions say Doll Leaves Boys - do the 1/3 girls have their own discussion or are they just mixed in with this one because I really want to gush to someone about how the two new chinese girls are amazing!!!
The girls thread is here http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?480105-DOLL-LEAVES-1-3-girls-Discussion-thread
I posted this in the girls thread but thought I'd ask here just in case someone didn't have both a boy and girl there. I'm looking to find out if a boy head fits on the girl body? I want Andy but I was thinking of a girl version. I know the neck circumference is different but thought I'd ask if anyone would be so kind as to post any photos. thanks.
I know that my Bailey head fits on the boy body, but I have not tried the Noir head on the girl body. I can let you know a little later when I get home and try the swap.
hmm they don't have the head sizes on their website. Can you let me know the circumference of the Noir head and any one that has an Andy could you please measure the head?? From the photos on the site it looks like the Noir head might be slightly bigger but it could just be the angle of the photos. Thanks for the comparison strr99 the Noir head on the girl body reminds me of the way Resinsouls dolls are. Bailey is one of my favorites in the SD girls wish they had tan options.
MoC had the head circumference of the heads. It looks like Bailey is 22cm and Andy is 24cm. I can measure Noir but it looks like all the male heads are 24cm and and all the female heads are 22cm. Let me know if you still want me to measure the head I can do it later when I get home. I have always personally thought that the Bailey head is a bit big on the female body and like it better on the male one. I think that the Noir head looks the same on the female body as the Bailey head would on it. I know this is not the best picture but maybe you can see what I'm talking about.
yep I see what you mean from the first photo too..its like the boys head is just wider around the top part or maybe more in the back to give that 2cm difference. Of course I don't completely trust site measurements I've received one company doll that said the doll was a certain height and it was 5cm shorter..lol. I'll have to give it some thought maybe I'll just stick with a boy Andy...its just I think I have more boy SDs than I do girls..lol
I think that the Noir head is also on the larger size. If someone with Andy can measure it for that would be better. I can measure my heads, I have Aurora as well. I know her head is smaller than Bailey. Well as to you having more SD boys then girls I don't think it matters it what makes you happy. I have nothing but girls. I only have Noir cuz his head was free when I ordered from DS. I ordered him a body and gave him to my BF, and that explains why he is still blank. My BF has had other art projects and has not gotten to him yet.
I did measure the three heads,Noir is 24cm, Bailey 23cm and Aurora is 21cm. I think the 21cm looks best on the girl body. I would think if Andy is between 21 and 22 cm it should look ok
I'm just place on order for a grey skinned Andy and will post some pics when he gets here I agree he's super cute
I'm attempting to order a Nozomi and the event Arwen. I haven't gotten a message back from DL yet and i've sent it to both emails now. I hope one of them actually got through and its just taking awhile to get back to me. I'm so excited for him though oooooh he's such a cutie. My friend wants him too so I said we should make twins.
Thanks, strr99!! Actually, I've just contacted Doll-Leave and he's ready to be shipped!! I just need to pay the balance left over and he should be here within a week or so! So excited -- Sorry for the late reply! =_= I hope everything goes well for you, Leader of the Rats! I found that Doll-Leaves took a day or so to reply to me but the communication was good Good luck!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Oh that's great news skylab! We are finally going to get our first look at grey Andy. I really love his promo pictures, I hope he is just as wonderful looking in person.
Oh yeah they contacted me back and I paid in full so hopefully it shouldn't take too long to get him! I'm so excited, he'll be my first SD
Thanks again everybody!!! He's arrived in Sydney today, so it shouldn't be too long until he gets to Brisbane!! I'm so excited!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
@ Leader of the Rats: Congratulations! @ Skylab: How exiting! If you can please share some pics once he arrives.
He is here!! His wigs a bit big but the blushing is awesome!! I am so happy and will definitely buy from Doll-Leaves again Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Congrats, skylab! I'm still absolutely in love with Andy's head sculpt after my experience with it, but as Doll-Leaves' grey is such a unique soft grey colour there isn't much out there that will match it. I am curious as to what the Doll Leaves 60cm body is like in person. Can I ask which of the 2 body versions you bought for him?
I got the default body listed on his page (DSB60-02 BODY). He had mobility thighs though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
What a handsome guy. I really love his color and his hands are so manly. Any way you can post a full on face picture of him with no wig?
I'd love to see that too, if your could skylab. If I can ask, too, what is your opinion of his company face-up in person compared to Doll-leaves' gorgeous company pics of it? An extra big congrats, too, as other than your TF Patrick this boy is only your 2nd doll and your first SD, is that right?
Sure, I can take a close up pic of his face Here's some of his faceup: http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/24/dapedeze.jpg Blushing on hands: http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/24/zuje3una.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/24/u6eramyq.jpg Blushing on feet: http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/24/7u8ara7y.jpg And his ears: http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/24/be5a6ese.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/24/e5ypy8a7.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/24/7ypane7e.jpg I absolutely adore Deme!! Tell me what you think! Deme is actually my third - fourth really, but Edward (MSD) hasn't arrived yet! I have Lewis (Bluefairy Patrick), Ju-Ru (LUTS MSD) and Demetrius (Doll-Leaves grey Andy) with me but I'm waiting on Edward (DollZone MSD). Edward was suppose to be delivered over a month ago but Denver Dolls are experiencing a delay because of the Koran (??) New Year. I'm waiting impatient for him!
Oh yeah I got my Nozomi on thursday! Doll Leaves didn't even email me saying he'd shipped, he just showed up at my door aahhh I did his faceup yesterday. Everyone meet Tobi!
My god! I think I would have freaked if that happened to me! Was she completely okay, Lord of the Rats??
I think you mean "he" XD Yeah he arrived just fine, it was a great early birthday surprise. The Event Arwen was just perfect too, and starting to grow on me. She's still weird but she makes a nice tiny friend for Tobi.
oooohh nooooo I made the mistake of looking at Xavor again and I want him! I hope they put him up for sale again eventually. He's officially on my wishlist now, I just love those cute lips.
skylab: thanks for the pictures of Andy. He looks wonderful. How do you like the grey skin? I love the color I think it has a beautiful blue tint to it.
Oh I discovered something today I thought someone might find useful. Tobi fits Webkinz tops. Both the sweater and the tank are webkinz. I was even able to squeeze the tank top over his fat head.
Hey does anyone know if Dollleaves match Volks/Switch/April story resin??. i acctaully really like their 60cm newer body, the less muscular one, and if the resin matches i would really consider getting one for mySwitch Seolrok head! tankuuuu ^^
