Limhwa 43cm (Leda & Sujan) Discussion Part 1

I also don't like peanut joints in knees as it makes knees look very unnatural, but with this design you can choose to leave the knee in a position as if it has a single jointed system and it almost looks the same as Limhwa's single jointed knee system. Should you want to use the full mobility of the peanut joint, you can still do that.

 

I don't own many dolls with peanut joint knees, but in some cases which is seen with several peanut joint elbows, the rounding of the joint isn't smooth when the leg (or arm) is bend halfway (90 degree angle). Part of the joint may also protrude forward with some designs in an unsightly way (=my personal opinion), but other Limhwa's dolls have this nice locking system in the knees that when the legs are bend with an 90 degree angle they have a smooth look and it's nice to see that still appears to be the case with this new Limhwa girl.
Functionally you can bend most peanut joint knees as if they are single jointed, but it does not always have to look like a single jointed system.

 

43cm is my "perfect" bjd size! Love LEDA and hope to get her when available! I love my Limhwa Human and tiny SARA, but 43cm w/improved jointing and more "mature" over-all look sure has me excited!

 

I just love the face and body of this beautiful girl. Wonder when Limhwa plans to release her. She will be a perfect addition to my collection of their dolls. I love their white resin too.

 

I'm so on board! I thought I was halting my collecting for a while soon as well...but then Leda shows up

I absolutely love my Limhwa Luna, so this girl is a no-brainer with the new joints! Now if only Limhwa will make the 57cm girls double jointed, I'd be in Heaven ^^

 

I am 98% sure she's my next doll. My Half Elf will just have to wait. She's just so... far beyond the stylized looks of other MSD's, I love that about her. I have had so many possibilities float through my head about her the last few weeks. (she just bumped my other MNF off the list O.O )

Do you think there's a way to get an extra set of hands with her? I'd love to sand down her nails on one set and then have an original set....or does Limhwa cast a doll complete?

 

Ack, there's a thread for her here, and I didn't see... Well, this girl is just adorable, I loved her face, it's very Jung Ji Youn style >w<

But what got most of my attention was the body. This body. *dies* OMG, HOW I WISH there was a similar body for the 57 girls! I loved how the artist worked with the joints, and in my opinion, they seem better thought than the single joints... And the sculpt is just crazy, how I love the Limhwa girls bodies. And I think it's really cool that she thought of the joints without making a hell lot of changes in the sculpt that could ruin this famous body. For me the sculpt is perfect, they only needed to improve the poseability...

Now I'm really really anxious to see a 57cm girl with double jointed body, featuring great poseability and this amazing sculpt they have. I would break when they released it, but I would buy it for sure for my half elf girl.

 

Any New Info...??? Anything...?

 

Just thought that I would pop-in with an update here!!! I can't wait!!!

Have fun and take care!!!

EJ

 

Oh how exciting! I hope they do an official announcement soon

 

That's great news! I don't think I've been this excited over a doll since the release of the ChibiUnoas

 

gothiclibrarian - Maybe they're just a bit late in udpating the page since Catrina still has the Narinmess to deal with? I know there has been some slight delays in orderingperiods before, so hopefully Leda is still going up in a couple of days.

 

she seems really cute!!

 

Hi everyone
Ordering should start tonight (Thursday night).. I was hoping to start it last night, but got caught up in contacting all the current ordering period owners to reconfirm their addresses for direct shipment from Korea. And I got more Leda photos of the joints and shoes.

Prices are fantastic! Leda $300 minus/ $330 plus sets.. the extra high heeled feet and shoes are $40 a set.
We'll be selling MONO and 57 cm girls at a discount for the holidays.

Thanks for your patience. I'm really excited for you to see all the photos very soon and see what you think!

Catrina

 

Yippee, the sharks are circling! Can't wait for pre-ordering to go "live"!

 

OH SNAP! *wriggles* I am so excited! Thank you Catrina!

That is a fantastic price... so fantastic I think I had to shock my brain back to life.
My heart flew out of my chest with the information and then sank at the comment on the 57cm discount. AH! Which first!? Half Elf or Leda! I am going to be angsting for the rest of the day!

 

Agh!!! Those prices ;_;

Catrina, do you know if there's any plan on makng a new double jointed body for the 57cm girls?? It would really be hot news, I'm sure many people would buy (me, of course, too)!!

 

Yay, this totally made my day. Thank you Catrina!

I couldn't resist ordering this girl even if I tried to. She's just perfect in my eyes Now I just have to decide what skintone I want her in if there are going to be the usual three.

 

OMG!!!!!!!!
Fantastic news Catrina! Thank you!
What wig and eyes size she has? I need to choose do i need minus or not set.

 

Has the ordering started? Seems the website isn't updated yet.

 

Boo hoo... My refresh button is about worn out from "clicking"...

 

Oh! Good news!
What price for tanned Leda?

 

Hi everyone
Just got more photos in, that's been adding to the time getting things ready.. And a few points needing clarification, back and forth between me and the translator in Korean.

Should be up tonight, I HOPE! If there are any further questions or details, I'll have to get those on the site as we go.. I know many have been waiting for Leda.

OK.. Leda in urethane will be $300 minus, $330 plus set
10 mm eyes.
I don't have measurements yet.. that's still coming (aack!)

tanned skin will be another $25

57cm girls, all four.. including Half Elf
price will go down to $48o minus, $530 plus, with $10 added for tanned skin

She's gorgeous!!

 

Just a few things I'm waiting for to let you know about:

1. measurements for Leda

2. holiday order deadline to get your doll by Christmas direct from Korea.

I just decided not to wait for it, so will add that to the site when it arrives and gets translated.

Thanks and enjoy Leda! I love her lines.. and the shoes are feet are excellent. Look at the detail in the upper foot.. she looks so real.

 

Happy dancing for this beauty, order placed and now the waiting begins... My b.day & Xmas gift to me!

 

I placed a order last night!
She is just too beautiful to resist!

But I wonder, is it the more natural faceup she will have or will it be the darker shown on the pictures?
I love the more natural faceup!

 

Just placed my order, too!!! Can't wait! I love my Limhwa girl's curves and to have a mini with them? AWESOME!

 

Hi everyone
I just got confirmation today that orders received now will arrive before Christmas. And I also got the measurements too, which are on the Leda page now. Was hoping to have all the info when the page opened, but a few straggling details remained.

Thank you so much for your Leda love!

Catrina

 

I thought long and hard about resin and finally Limho said I had to get French resin! She's ordered and Limho is happy!

 

Thanks for the measurements! So it looks like if it fits a MNF or Unoa, it will most likely fit Leda! Whoot!

 

Off Topic posts will be removed. If you have questions for Dollfair and Catrina about your orders please email her.

 

I'm waiting for a Leda too

 

ME!

I thought I would never want a Limhwa girl! I thought I would be all about Minifees until I stumbled onto the site today. I was smitten when I saw those beautiful legs. >w<

 

Gothiclibrarian, thank you so much for posting the measurements!!! And, I also am curious about the flat/heel foot measurements...

Pinktink-I'm right there with ya for the b-day/Christmas present to myself!!! I ordered the French resin (I'm with you Nancy/and your smart Limho), as well...I am so excited, and can't wait!!!

Take care!!!

EJ

 

I'm waiting too!
But i also know the answer to this question:
"But I wonder, is it the more natural faceup she will have or will it be the darker shown on the pictures?"

Thank you
Omg, i'm so excited to receive it!

 

I hope to order Leda next year, I think she is so lovely and her new body with those high heel feet are so adorable. I hope she can wear Narae/Unoa type clothing, can't wait to see owner pics of her!

 

I'm trying to order a Leda but it won't process my order due to an error that says:

•Merchant payment gateway not configured.<BR>SGS-020005: Error (Merchant config file is missing&#44; empty or cannot be read). and it gave me an a phone number that is old.

emailed Catrina...hopefully I can order her soon.

 

I don't think the ordering period is open yet. When the last order group is finished, they will open orders again. I wish they would be more clear about the order periods on the web site, but perhaps they don't update the site themselves.

 

limhwa.com is the site that Catrina runs I believe, the artist website is limhwa-1004.com I like to stalk both of them. I can't wait for the next order period ^_^

 

I emailed dollfair and they replied Catrina will get back with me so hopefully I can order her in the next ordering period..she is so lovely.

 

I just stumbled upon this girl and have to say she's gorgeous.

 

So..What are the ordering periods for her? I realllly want one. D:

 

The order periods vary a bit depending on how many dolls were in the last order. When the last group is ready to ship they will open the net order period.

 

When was the last one? I wonder... Hmm..
