Lumedoll by Dollist!

You're welcome BabyJJ

 

Nobody has gotten or done anything with their beautiful Lumedolls since November?? That's sad.

Now for happy news!!! Dollist has made my dream come true! I just sent payment for an Original Keid head!!!! JOY!!! JUBILATION!!!! CONFETTI AND CANDY FOR EVERBODY!!!

 

Wow! Congrats Miss_Pygmalion *0* after so much time you will have him! hope you take so much pics. I also love first Keid, im sad because i couldn't get one and a Izar too T3T.

I changed the faceup of my Ain sometime ago, right now im trying to get new eyes and make some nice pics of him.
Wonder how much Ains are around there... always search for pics but i don't find more owners than Miss_pygmalion and me ^^u

 

congrats Miss Pygmallion!


I hadn't realised how quiet this thread had gotten-I recently gave Solomon a new face-up for a BJDcollectasy project You can see him here:
http://www.bjdcollectasy.com/articles/winter-face-up-project.html

 

YAY!!! *happy dance* I know you've wanted one for forever! Congratulations!

Yeah, I should get more pictures of my Duhr taken. I love his angry face! One of the few sculpts I have, that everyone looks at and knows he's angry. None of this "thinking deeply" or "mildly annoyed" stuff. I love it!

 

Thanks everyone!! I sent Dollist an email like a month ago if she had any left that never sold. I got an email two days ago that she found his old mold and cast one for me! He will be NS Pink.

When I get her, I will take lots of pics with Ain, who really hasn't changed much in all this time. And with my other recently aquired dream sculpt, a Nanuri 07. Now that I have them both, I might actually finally update my Avatar!

I haven't taken any pictures of my Ain in..... a disgracefully long time either. I hope we both get to post new pics of our Ains soon Runy.

Aernath- I like your Duhr. So angry!! Maybe cause he's so greatly outnumbered by the Iplehouse boys? LOL!

 

KEID IS HEEEEEERE!!!!!

Have a picture! So much love! I'd like her to have an Amy Brown Fairy kind of feel when she's finished. Squee I love her!!! ::

 

I just paid for Aberdeen's body! It will be here by the weekend! Gasp! I need to sew her something so she won't be nekkid! LOL

And I need to order her wig. I've been procarstinating again...

 

just sent you a PM V chan

 

HI! after more time, I would complete my Saiph. I need a body. Someone knows if new Dollstown 18yr boy body can match with Saiph Head. It's white mine Saiph, which DT skin I must choose? Please Help me..

 

Ok, This is my Saiph: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27318031@N05/4712537146/in/set-72157623694842406

 

LOVERLY! Congrats on getting him in! Does he (she?) have a body yet? What are your plans?

THANK YOU FOR THE SPAM!!! Feel free to add more

I just ordered a Saiph head (Normal Pink) and will be putting her on a RS 68cm normal body for now. Better believe I'll be spamming....once she arrives ....

In the meantime, Saiph Wig Sizes (again!) has anyone tried For My Doll wigs on their Saiph? I saw a while back there was a discussion about wig sizes for Saiph, but there was very little conclusion about what worked and what didn't. Here's the summary of what people said at the time:


Cancan j series 8-9 work well.
NO fit for leeke, sunny's, dollmore (7-8 or 8-9)
kon'd & monique might be 7-8 or 8-9, depends on style


Any new input from you veteran Saiph-ians? I'm particularly interested in For My Doll wigs at the moment. Has anyone tried them and know which size is best?

Thanks! Can't wait to join y'all with some merry spam!

 

Now I think about this body for my Saiph boy: http://www.blossom-doll.com/Admin/GoodsImg/2012020316213310.jpg but I have not understand if it's a blossom doll body or not. I wait for more info by Blossom doll.

 

And finally my Saph have a Wig: http://imageshack.us/f/209/27062012995.jpg/
Thank you to D I E U X - F A U X for this wonderful wig!!!

 

I don't know if anybody else saw this news, but Lumedoll is discontinuing several sculpts....namely all SD bodies and all but three SD heads.

Makes me want to cry.

Anyone want to spam in response? (I would but my Saiph isn't here yet.)

 

I'm in love with Naos.

 

I can spam my tan rs Rhud:

 

aernath! Thank you for the spam!
My Saiph finally arrived, so I can join in the efforts to revive the thread....

She's faceless, and in a very quick outfit. But at least she's clothed

 

I like her outfit! Where did you find clothes that fit? I'm always dealing with pants that are too big for my boy.
She's got lots of character already, and looks quite at home outdoors.

 

aernath, Thanks I made the outfit I made the pants using this tutorial. VERY easy, just like it says. And if you use old jeans (like I did), you can save most of the work by using the existing bottom cuffs & side seams. If you don't have any yourself, you can get old jeans from a thrift store--and keep an eye out for maternity jeans--they're stretchy, so you can get skinny jeans on and off easily.

 

I keep checking the website to see if Phaet is available...long shot I know, but I love that face! dharmaniac, Shakti is gorgeous!

Vchan, I've drooled over that same Rischa for a while! You live close enough to visit Eva? Jealous!

 

MissEmily, thank you! Eva make amazing dolls =) In love with Duhr and Keird also)

 

Here is my Tania - now as Queen Elizabeth the first.

Outfit and styling is still in progress.

 

Ooh, lovely xiaoli! Did you syle her wig yourself?

I moved a couple weeks ago and was finally able to unbox my dollies! Here's my Saiph (on a RS 68cm body)

A couple other shots are in a gallery thread (with my other dolls).

 

Your Saiph is so lovely MissEmily! And I love that outfit Xiaoli

I really do need to take some new shots of my Lumedoll boy. Solomon hasn't been getting enough love lately

 

Ooh, yes yes, arrowchild, I love your Solomon! Would love to see more of him. Thanks for the kindness to Ope--she really needs a new faceup. I threw this one on super fast right before our move and haven't had time to get her a proper-er one yet. Somebody needs a swap gift first though

 

I've been wanting to see more of this mold too! It's been quite a while, and I do check the website for an update, lol.

I'd love to see a Lumedoll in person, as they look so lovely in photos.

 

Thanks I love Solomon too-I'll probably be taking a few shots fo him this coming week. Saiphs are just so photogenic!
As far as swap gifts are concerned...whatever do you mean lol

 

Solomon spam

 

Ack! Solomon! I didn't realize he still had his winter face-up! Lovely! And I'm glad to see that eyelashes work well in this sculpt. I've been afraid they might swallow up the eyes....but I'd really like Ope to have some very faint and whispy red-head eyelashes. Hmm. Must start looking around.

Still no new faceup yet...one more swap & a writing deadline to go before I can wipe her.

 

Thanks so much I hadn't originally planned on keeping his winter face-up, but it's become part of his character and now I can't seem to part with it lol.
Eyelashes actually work pretty well with Saiph's eye shape-which suprised me!

 

Yay, Phaet is finally available! I was hoping for new pictures, so maybe in a few days. Anyone planning on buying this mold?

 

Phaet Phaet Phaet Phaet!! I ordered mine last night--I've been holding my breath for him ever since Eva put up the first pictures, months ago. I have a spare Lumedoll boy body here, so he'll step right into my little Lumedoll crew as soon as he lands.

 

I've been looking forward to Phaet as well. I'd like to order one as well as a Saiph head some time in the new year, if I can rack up the money

 

I look forward to seeing more of Phaet. He's really cute! I was surprised to see him finally for sale, as he was on the website for so long!

 

Oh why did I see that Phaet was for sale AFTER I ordered my big ole doll chateau order?!? I guess I will be living off owner pics for a good long while here!

 

Just popping in to share a picture of Stefan, my Phaet (faceup by Eva)--he arrived a few days ago. I'm not sure he'll stick with this wig, but I thought it was pretty cute for a welcome shot.



One of the things I really love about this head is the long, narrow face. Most of my 60cm dolls have round or heart-shaped faces, so Stefan has quite a distinctive look. He's a long, lanky beast, yum.

 

He arrived pretty fast! Congrats. I look forward to seeing more of him. I like that long face of his too.

 

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH Phaet is here! Your Stefan looks great Cynthia in FlintHills. Can't wait to see his "final" look. As or final looks....seems I'm always two steps away from Ope's. Finally got her eyes in (they're eyeco silicone eyes), and finally got her temporary face up wiped. It'll be a couple weeks before I can actually face-up her. But at least she's ready!


Ope's Face is Gone by Estes & Anne, on Flickr

 

Stefan looks like a sweetie, but has a playful look about him as well. ^__^

I love Ope's wig! What a gorgeous color!

I've been fussing about with Rhud, my Duhr, trying to get him in some clothes that we both like, and that FIT. Or at least mostly fit. lol

 

I'm admiring Ope's wig, too--not just the color, but that braid on one side! Can't wait to see how her new faceup turns out.

Duhrs are very, very tough to please, aren't they? Finicky dudes.

Thanks for the kind greetings to Stefan, everybody! After plopping various wigs on him and staring for a while, we're back to the short messy blond fur. Speaking of guys who aren't easy to please . . .

 

Wow the dolls here are really awesome. I was wondering what resin the heads match? Are they a good match for the Dollshe/Dollstown?
Thanks for any help......

 

I don't know for sure, since I only have Dollshe/Dollstown orientalskin, but I think the normal pink and light pink Lumedoll resin might possibly be an acceptable match for D/D freshskin. The neck holes of the Lumedoll boy heads are too small for Dollshe necks, though. I tried my Duhr head on a Dollshe body, since I think that head really needs a larger-scale body than the Lumedoll one, but it would take a lot of neck sanding to make the hybrid work.

 

Thank you Cynthia. I have no body for the head, and I really do wish they sold the doll as a complete guy. I love Stefan!!

You know the one thing I really never understood is the fact that there are so few Asian looking guy dolls. Iple has a couple, one of which I ordered. Souldoll had a few, but that's about it.

 

I know what you mean about BJD guys, in general, not looking as Asian as many of the girls do--maybe thanks to the early influence of the anime/manga aesthetic? 'Tis a puzzlement.

There have been a few Lumedoll bodies popping up in the Marketplace from time to time; I am really, REALLY a fan of Eva's body (it's beautifully balanced and engineered, with a lovely matte quality to the resin). If you're interested in putting together a Lumedoll guy, you might start either WTBing or just watching carefully for one of the bodies--

 

Finally had both time and light yesterday--I've been wanting to take some pictures of Corinna, my Heka, in this fabulous Lady Hamilton outfit by Zozolala. The 2nd version Lumedoll girl body is slim and leggy, so sometimes dressing Corinna is a challenge--I find that clothes made with the Dollstown 13girl body in mind work really well.

 

Hi, all (waves). I thought I would ask this question here rather than the resin matching section because there aren't all that many owners of these dolls. I have a WS Bellatrix head that I have been hoarding for a while and am just now putting her together, so I need a body. I bought her a WS Resinsoul body, but it is way too white. I considered putting her on my freshskin Dollstown Elf body, but I would prefer a less childish body as it would suit the character I've made up for her better. The resin match doesn't have to be perfect, but it's easier to blush a head to match than the other way around. I could kick myself for not buying the whole doll at once. Oh well...I would appreciate any suggestions. I'd like for her to be in the 58-60cm range.

 

Ooh, Heka is cute, Cynthia in Flint Hills!

Thanks everyone for your comments on Ope's wig--it's the first wefted wig I've made. But of course, Ope's thinking maybe she wants a different one. Finally got around to giving her her new faceup, and she thinks this wig goes much better with it. It's the original wig I bought for her, but she refused it and I sewed that other one for her.


Ope demands a new wig by Estes & Anne, on Flickr

 

Ohhhh, I think Ope is absolutely right--that wig is fabulous with her new faceup! Maybe she can change color and style now and then, just for fun?

 

MissEmily, I'm really impressed of Ope -so interesting character ^_^

well, another one Shakti photo:


Fancy Shakti by plastic~people, on Flickr

he's still my favorite and most lovely doll %)

 

pewe, What a gorgeous head! Oh my! I'm actually looking at making a Keid Ara into a girl too.. I've already made Saiph into one, and Phaet will be next.
Bodies: I asked the sculptor specifically about this, and she suggested the Twiggling Ingenue body (if you want a really tall girl!) or the Dollstown bodies.

I've got my Saiph on a Resinsoul 68cm body, but it would also work on their 60cm body--neither as drool-worthy as the Ingenue or the Dollstown, but it fit my budget at the time....

Here she is on the RS 68cm body:

Hope that helps.

Does anyone have pics of the boy bodies? I'm eyeing a Keid Ara, but want to know what the body looks like....Thanks for the help!

 

MissEmily, thanks so much for your suggestions
I tried several bodies I have here and the SD Angelheim, which is not longer produced and not available anymore, would also be a good match from the proportions.

The Twiggling Ingenue body and Dollstown might be great for this head but are also out of my price range in the moment

May I ask some questions regarding the Resinsoul body? The description on their site says that the shoulder width for the 68 cm body is just 9,5 cm - I can´t believe, the head would be too huge for this small body. Could you please measure your body at the shoulder to send a correct width? And how is the quality of the body?
Does the head fit on the neck or is there modding necessary?

The last question... Which resin colour is your lumedoll head? Mine is in light pink, what do you think which Resinsoul colour would be the best match?

Sorry for spamming you with all my questions

 

Which bodies did you try? I'm thinking of getting two more Lumedoll heads for female bodies, and I want all my girls to have DIFFERENT bodies (sigh). So knowing which ones didn't work would be helpful.

Shoulders: if you measure just the across the top of torso part of the shoulder, it is 9.5cm. If you include the tops of the ball joints in your measurements it is 12.5cm. I think the head looks fine--and Saiph is a little bit bigger around that Keid Ara, I think? This photo will also show you resin matching:


Ope's body arrives! by Estes & Anne, on Flickr

The resin match on my end isn't that great. It normally doesn't show up in photos like it did in that one. BUT I ordered Lumedoll Normal Pink, and I think the Lumedoll Light Pink would be a MUCH better match with Resinsoul Normal Pink. Still, the difference doesn't usually show up in photos.

Which also means....that Dollzone & Dollchateau resins would be good to look at. (I have Dollchatea/Dollzone NP and the match would be better with Lumedoll Light Pink than what I have right now).

Quality: It's not the most detailed body you will find--I own Doll Chateau and Dreaming Doll, and have handled several Iplehouse & Supia dolls. I will say, Resinsoul can pose with the best of them--I have never actually seen an Iplehouse who can sit up --and better than many of them. They can also pull off some amazing poses. But in order to do that, they NEED thicker string. They are strung with very thin string on arrival, which is terrible for posing. They would also benefit from some form of sueding. I know of some people who wire them, but and i know of some people who wire them but I haven't wired mine. The head needs no modifying to fit on the body.

I have a stupid policy about all of my dolls being on different bodies. If I didn't, I would definitely buy another Resinsoul to go with my next Lumedoll head. Here's a Link to Ope's flickr set, if that helps you make your decision.

 

Well, I tried these bodies:
- Angelheim: fits really great and would be my choice if I could get a body
- Iplehouse SID and EID: looks great from the overall proportion but the neck of Iplehouse is very thick and it would be a lot of work to sand them down... I have an Iplehouse body without head but don´t want to modify it in this way
- Soom Super Gem: might work but I do not like the body with the long neck and therfor it would not be my choice
- Dikadoll 63 cm body: a little bit too petite even if the body is a great poser
My other SD sized bodies are too small for this head, Elfdoll, Dollstown 13 ys, DreamingDoll. The size should be, for my taste, at least 62 cm or more.

Ah, thanks, that´s the point; my measurement always includes the arms. I guess 13 cm up to 14 cm would be perfect for that head; I have no way to compare the Saiph head with the Keid Ara as he´s my first SD sized lumedoll head.

Good to know; I do not want to blush the head to get a good match; I love the head how it looks now. So finding a good resin match with the body is what I am looking for

I guess the bodies are very cheap compared to other companies so there is always a difference in the details. But if the resin thickness is fine and the posing is good I could live with that, most times a body is dressed *lol*
It is important to know that, except for some missing details, the body is a great deal.

Ah, I will check that flickr album; good luck for finding a lovely body for your next head
I also have a lumedoll Tania, she´s 58 cm tall and I love her; the lumedoll faces have so much expression
