Littlemonica Waiting Room

He's here! I happened to be downstairs preparing lunch just as the postal van pulled up, so I was able to grab him right from the delivery man. I'll have to hold off a bit on opening him up, but it's very exciting to have him home!

 

I got so optimistic by the month long waits, I’m a tiny bit sad mine hasn’t been the same but on Dec 28 I ordered Innocent Roselyn as a full doll, and Symphony Roselyn as a head, to bring back an old character. Still no ship notice, which is to be expected of their posted window I’m so used to at least!

 

Well my order is ready to be shipped since last week, but due to postal problem, I have requested to hold off for a few months. Production time is pretty quick... 2 months, including public holidays in jan I believe.

 

Impulsively decided to order the Symphony Enrill Head today! Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy the end of summer with him

 

On 04/28 I ordered a Sophia with a grace girl body and this is my first doll ever. I'm so excited! The process section says my item is processing and the money hasn't been taken from my account yet. Is that normal?

 

Kinda forgot to join this thread again. I am currently waiting on a Roselyn:Symphony on a Harmony girl body in tan plus some extra parts. Ordered her at the end of February 2021.

Edit 1: My order has been shipped out last Friday (21.05.21).

 

After much considering I decided to get the limited Sweet Sophia with the Harmony body on a 3 month layaway. Hopefully her face won't feel off since I guess it was designed for the Grace one, but looking at it, it just seems a major pain in the butt to find nice clothes for that body.
Tbh I really, really wanted the Gloomy Yuria instead but I think that one was out a couple months ago so I missed it, I'm guessing it's not coming back for a considerable while so I just got the next best thing. ^^

 

Just got a shipping notice for my Hush! I got him w/ faceup + body blushing and ordered on March 3rd.

 

Just put my Little Sophia with an Echo body on layaway! With faceup and full blushing. I wanted the "fist" hands since they don't come with the body by default, but you can't add blushing and I don't have the supplies/space to blush them myself so... I guess I'll just hold off on the fists lol. I almost didn't get her through LM directly because the email application for layaway scared me, but DDE didn't offer blushing on the body (and also has way longer wait times Q___Q) so I just emailed and it was super easy. I looove the Little Monica sculpts so much, I'm waiting on a Tommy head from DDE too!

 

Ooh congrats @redtag ! What resin color did you order?

You should be able to get the blushing on just the fist hands though. Its an option for all the other \ hands parts, so maybe the website just has a glitch? If you really wanted them Im sure you could contact LM to add them to your order

 

@redtag
Yes Little Monica's CS is very good and they are definitely willing to add options to their listings. In February I asked them if I could order hand and feet parts in the event skin (which I was not able to select). They replied very quickly and added the event skin as an option.

Definitely ask about the blushing on their Q&A board .

 

Grats!
Oh dang I should have ordered directly through LM with layaway but I wasn't sure how to go about it and I was running out of time for the limited Sweet Sophia so I did through Dolk.
Already considering getting a second doll at some point so I will be smarter then. ^^

 

Ohh that's great to know! I will definitely ask on the board.

Congrats on your Sweet Sophia! She is sooo beautiful!! I wasn't thinking I would get a second doll so soon after I ordered my first but I just couldn't look away from that Little Sophia...

 

Ahh my Sophia that I ordered 4/28 finally arrived!! I'm actually scared to open the box

 

I paid off my Little Roselyn
Probably still have another month or two before I get her, but i am hype lol

 

Congrats. I'm currently waiting on a Little Roselyn as well .
What body did you get her on?

 

@laquaza , I got the hot body in the cocoa resin, how about you?

 

I got her in Cocoa as well but on the echo body because it's double jointed and I am curious to see how it compares to the Little Harmony girl body.

 

DolkUS just received my Sweet Sophia on Harmony body Hopefully she gets dispatched soon.
I got the Echo Grace body too directly from LM shortly after because I couldn't decide which I liked more (￣▽￣*)ゞ

 

oh....when you have it...do you mind see if it's arm and leg part can be use with the old little harmony girl's torso?

 

Haha yes I will frankenstein her arm and legs with my WS little harmony torso for you .

 

LM shipped the Grace Echo body this week as well. I ordered it a month after Sweet Sophia through Dolk, but they might come in at about the same time ^^

 

Both the Little Monica and Dolk order arrived at customs basically at the same time. No issues with LM package.... Dolk tracking says "Customs clearance have identified a problem with the customs declaration accompanying your item. As such, the item must be returned to the sender." RIP. God knows when Sweet Sophia comes back around again.

 

Oh no @nanaya I hope they can get it sorted out quickly and she will be sent again to you!

My little Roselyn shipped today. I wish LM would switch to DHL. EMS is so slow now...

 

Yea I regret ordering from Dolk. Also got a Sadol outfit through them with a random pair of tights which are still not ready after 3 months and they refused to bundle the outfit with my doll and send it together.
My LM box was here in 12 days. Hopefully yours arrives soon too.
I completely forgot about the free event head so at least I have a surprise Cleria ^^

 

Oh no!! I hope they can fix the issue and re-send her to you!

 

EMS came through! I was expecting to wait two weeks but she arrived today
Custom faceup definitely makes her look more mature. The Hot! body is limited in motion, as expected, but she holds a pose very well Im glad I chose it

 

Oh wow she looks beautiful and I love her faceup. Sometimes company faceups look a bit dull on darker skin tones but hers looks amazingly vivid .
It's why I didn't dare to order my Little Roselyn with faceup but now I think I could have easily done so.

Somehow I hadn't realised the hot!body had a solid torso. Does it bother you or is she still able to do the poses you want her to?

 

Wow, she looks gorgeous!! Her faceup definitely makes her look more mature, and the Hot! body is so lovely to look at! I was so torn between it and the Echo body that I ended up going with, but for my next LM doll I may go with the Hot! body after all seeing your photo.

 

@laquaza For me, the posing is enough. My dolls spend more time on display than anything She sits and stands like a champ, and can hold her arms and legs up. I also like solid torso because with complicated outfits like kimono, they stay on better if the torso joint isnt there

 

My Little Sophia shipped yesterday! Between EMS and Canada Post... we'll see how fast she actually gets home

 

My LM order from mid July has arrived at the post office . It was shipped out in the beginning of October so that makes for a turnaround time of under 3 months.

This was my most complicated and largest order so far because I've ordered together with a friend:
- little Roselyn in cocoa cream on the new echo girl body
- Sophia in NS on the Harmony girl body
- a lot of extra parts in various sizes and skin colors

I'm so exited and can't wait to pick them up .

 

So it's been a month since tracking stopped updating for my Sweet Sophia that got returned by customs. KR customs haven't heard about it going back either so I told Dolk to file a missing parcel case. What's worse the Cleira head I posted a week after to a Korean artist for face-up vanished too so I filed one myself as well. I just hope they are sitting at an airport warehouse and not completely lost... Especially the Sweet Sophia head...

On the other hand I ordered Vampy Sarubia's fullset so I'm excited for that. \o/

 

My innocent Enrill head shipped two days ago and now has arrived at NY, I guess he hasn’t been into customs yet so couple of weeks from now I should receive him!!
Also very fortunate today, I got little Monica as prize from the instagram giveaway event! Don’t know when she will be shipped though, but it’s the first time I win a giveaway! So excited!!!!

 

@Xihua - How exciting!! Congratulations on both of them!

 

@Xihua congrats! i'm so jelous.
I placed an order for Little Monica too.
Can't wait to see what you'll do with her, i'm sure you'll do it thousand times better than me.

 

My little Monica has arrived! She actually has arrived about a month but I forgot to post here hahaha. I really like the little harmony echo body, haven’t decided what style of faceup to give her yet

 

I ordered Charlotte a month ago, directly from the company (which is a first for me). I'm not sure if I can go the entire waiting time without ordering another Little Monica! For example, Cydril's post made me want to get Roselyn.

 

I purchased the Symphony Enrill head when he came out and now over a year later, he finally has a face!

 

I ordered a Harmony Roselyn boy the other day but now I hear they are closing. I have to decide if I order one or two girls before then.

 

Just placed an order for Charlotte head, can't wait for her to arrive! Little Monica is one of my favourite Korean Company, it is a real shame that they are closing. ;-;

 

Placed my order today for a Vampire Chloe Halloween 2017 ver w/ face-up.
It's really unfortunate that they are closing down.

 

It's really sad that Little Monica is closing. I just ordered a Sweet Elena head. I got it blank, the faceup is really beautiful but I'm not sure if it fits my plans for this head.

 

I ordered an Eden head the other day when I got my paycheck. If I still can manage to pull it off, I'd love to be able to get Gloomy Vampire Enrill(with body?) as well but I need to focus on...not making my doll collection expand any more than it recently has recently.

But Little Emril was my first ever bjd and I still am as in love with the sculpt as I was on day one, so the temptation to get a Vampire version is so tempting!!

 

I also placed an order last week for Irin Classic. I wish I could buy them all.

 

Joining the Little Monica goodbye party. I ordered a Sweet Sophia head.

 

Added to the list (apologies if I messed up the formatting? I'm not sure how to fix it ;;; ), but finally got a Chloe head! Got a company faceup in remembrance of LM.

 

Officially joining the last sale. I'm waiting for Gloomy Irin. So sad to see them go. I do hope they or the artist/s oneday resurface, regardless same brand or not.

 

I placed an order and paid in full, but it still shows as unpaid? Anyone else have this problem? I've tried to contact them, but I'm not getting any response.
Editing to add: the money is already out of my account. I just ... don't know where it is?

 

I fixed it. Someone forgot to close a font tag a little higher up, and it screwed with all of our posts. 'S all good now.

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil Thanks! I worried I ruined it

 

I heard back. The money has been found! And now... we wait.

 

Super sad that Little Monica is closing, but it does mean I've had to bite the bullet and order a head I've been eyeing off for a while now.
At one point, my ex had a Roselyn head and the quality was incredible, so I'm excited for my little guy to get here.

 

Having been inactive in the hobby for a couple years, I almost missed one of my favorite brands going out of sale. But thanks to this thread, I realized that their sale wasn't just another, albeit amazing, sale. I order a full but blank Sweet Little Sarubia in normal resin, a couple wigs, and cat ears. I look forward to seeing what everyone gets and puts together, and I hope LM's team will still look at people posting in their tags.

 

My mom dragged me down the Little Monica rabbit hole, so I'm waiting on Luke and Audrey heads and she's waiting on a Gloomy Yuria head. I've already got a body waiting for Audrey >>;

 

My Charlotte is already in customs, took less than two months! While I'm waiting to have her home, I might order a Bella while I still can. I'm devastated that they're closing.

 

Ordered my first BJD! I'm so greatful that I saw they were closing down, I would've been so upset if I'd missed out on the two dolls I'd been wanting for years. Made the plunge and bought both Haazel on a Harmony two-part torso body, and a Little Harmony Bear!

 

So I got an email this morning, and because it was from Little Monica, I opened it right away. In my half-awake, bleary-eyed state, I thought it was some kind of cancellation notice. Because it's way too soon for them to ship, right?
It was a shipping notice.
Whoa. That was fast.

Editing to add: yeah. I went back and checked. My original order date was August 18. It would have been three weeks this Thursday. That's - that's super fast.

Edit 2: never mind. Don't get excited, y'all. I ordered a pair of heel feet for a secondhand purchase. I left them a notice telling them they could combine shipping (save some money). Looks like they forgot to combine shipping. So it's just the feet.

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil : lol! Sorry to hear it's just the feet. I would have been really shocked if they were were able to get doll items shipped weeks after the ordering date. I resigned myself to a super long wait considering they probably got a high volume of orders prior to closing. I am not sure what their average wait time was prior to closing tbh. Last time I ordered doll items from them they came within 2 months or so~

 

My orders have always taken 1 - 2 months to ship. But I personally expect like 3 months for their closing. That's just a feeling though and not based on any official information.
