Les Enfants Terribles (LET) heads

Yes! I love Ryan. He reminds me of a much older Cary Grant. He's so lovely and perfect. I shudder at the thought of trying to match that tan though.

 

I adore my Don. I needed an older looking sculpt to shell one of my characters, and Don fit the character amazingly well. When I first saw the sculpt, I knew it was him! I also got him in tan, which is a lovely color. I had custom color matching done on his body, and well, it is off, by a lot, but it's fine since he's a modest dresser.

 

I am very happy to see this thread here :')

I am the one who paints the face-ups for LET and helps Choco with photos and support.
We had planned to reveal some painted Ryans already, unfortunately I still have regular commissions that eat up all my time and had no chance yet to take care of Ryan. I already have some concepts written down though
The finished heads will, like Don, end up for sale then on the website.

 

I love those heads very much.
I bought a Ryan last year. Currently he has no faceup, no eyes and no wig. I'm trying to put him on a 60cm body. I'd like to turn him into an old grey creepy thing!

 

You probably shouldn't, but now I just gotta know! What company body?

 

The Ryan sculpt is amazing! I got him earlier this year and put him on a Doll Family-H body. The resin match might not be 100% perfect, and this is my first face-up on a human head, but I'm very happy with him! He still needs eyes, a wig, and clothing. I would like to turn him into a cyborg warrior character.

 

I do have photos, but they're a few months old. My good camera is away for repairs. I should be getting it back on Friday, but until then, here's a pic of him from this past winter. He hasn't changed much. Same wig, same eyes, same clothes even, but I do plan to update his outfit soon. It was one of the first I made, making my own pattern and everything, and there's some obvious flaws. Compared to the things I sew now, it's due for an update.

It's a Mirodoll 68cm body, which is cheaper than the head was, but a good solid body if you're willing to put a little work into it. When I re-do his outfit, and have him naked again, I'll probably just keep going and get out the restringing tools and the hot glue gun. Another Mirodoll body I have benefited greatly from being restrung and having the gaps in the joints filled in a bit with hot glue. While he can stand on his own, it's a bit scary. I'll upgrade his body eventually after my key characters are all shelled, but for now the Mirodoll body works. It's good to to see the super gem can match.

 

@Prinsessen I bought him in white skin. That way I will change his color quite easily. Well, I hope it will be easier than my last try!
Your Don looks wonderful on your Dia's body.

@UrbanHermit Oh I'm happy to see a Ryan with a face-up! Yours seems to be a tough guy.

 

@Prinsessen The custom color is off by quite a bit. I do have some photos in his doll profile where you can see the neck, but as it's a bad match, I've always tried for angles and lighting that hides how bad of a match it is. And I'm not dragging Mirodoll over it. They sent me a photo and even said it wasn't exact and asked if it was okay. I could have very well asked them to try again, but I said it was fine. Technically, it is, because it's not going to show anyway. I could have gotten the body in white and it would have been fine for his character.

@Follow-the-Wind He's a Don! I considered getting Ryan, but I had already decided on another sculpt for the character he could have shelled.

 

@UrbanHermit Oh my! I didn't recognize Don
@Prinsessen That's right! I nearly bought my Ryan tan skin, but I was scared I may not find a body for him. WS can be turned in tan or in grey (or anything else) quite easily

 

I love these heads. As much as I like my dainty, pretty boys, I wish there were more like LET.
I've had a 65cm DZ Mo forever that just hasn't worked out, but I kept it because I like the body. I'm considering getting a Ryan head to see if that works with the body.

 

OMG, these are amazing!

 

I just discovered them, @Prinsessen , but I am doing the 3 Grace's, so maybe some day I can do some gods?? Hades would be awesome, LOL

 

Very late, but I finally managed to paint one of the Ryan heads! @ChocoDecadence had requested a look similar to Trevor Philips from GTA V, hence the stubble and wounds.

Spoiler: 2

She still has a couple of them for sale (in all colors)

 

@Ara You did a wonderful job!

That makes me think I've never shared my Ryan here. So here he is:

 

Yikes, he's amazing, @Ara !!!

And wow, @Follow-the-Wind , wow, that's an amazing wild man! Who is he?

 

@IngieBee He is an inhuman beeing and a shaman, but I don't give him a full backstory yet.

 

He's just amazing, @Follow-the-Wind !

 

@IngieBee Thank you very much!

 

Has anyone gotten more LET dolls or taken new pictures?
I got a Ryan and put him on a DZ 65 body which I think did not work- the body was really big and bulky for the head. I never painted the head and stored it for quite some time but am now ready to start working on it and need to find a new body.

 

@louiselle Here is a picture of my Ryan! I have took some pictures of him last year. Not a lot but more than before, haha!

He is on Resinsoul 60boy body (with neck mod).
​

 

@Follow-the-Wind, your Ryan looks impressive. I like the amount of detail you put into his design.
Was the neck too big for the head?

 

@louiselle Neck was too long and neckhole was too wide. So I reduced the neck and added milliput inside the neck hole. I must have a picture somewhere....

Here it is:

 

Thanks for posting pictures! It is inspiring me to work on my Ryan head. I am so impressed with the expressiveness of the LET sculpts. I have had many different dolls from several companies at this point, and LET stands out as finely detailed and extremely unique to me.

 

Both head sculpts are wonderful and everyone's done an amazing job with their incredibly detailed and realistic guys. So nice to see older male head sculpts - it really expands the potential for creating different and needed characters!

Don reminds me of a middle-aged Charles Boyer. Sorry to see he's sold out on the LET site. Ryan is also a fantastic sculpt.

Anyone know if these heads would fit on a 70cm Dollshe Pure body?

 

Chiming in to say that, afaik there are no Dons left. She still has a ton of Ryan heads though

Also I hadn't tested the heads back then on Dollshe Pure, I had just sold my Saint when Choco made them.

 

Thanks for the info regarding head availability, @Prinsessen and @Ara.

I'll have to look into body possibilities too.
