If you are happy to wait, Lumedoll will eventually re-release the SDs but I am not sure what the timeframe for that would be though. I emailed them and found out the SD bodies will be re worked and then re-released but I don't know when or how long that will be. I have a Saiph head (NS-Y) with no body myself and I'm hoping that when they do re-release, I might be able to buy the body for him. I have looked at several different bodies and also had him on the Demon Garden WS body at one stage but I have to admit to liking the aesthetics of the Lumedoll boy body a lot more than any other bodies I've researched for his head. It's going to be a long wait though I think which is fine, more time to save up.
Yes, I heard about the plans of a re-release of the SD bodies and I would wait for sure if I want the doll as a boy but I always see it as a girl so this is no option... The girl SD sized bodies are too small for this head and it would not work... I never thought it will be so difficult to find a body for that head but as the head is so filigrane and soft the body also needs to have a special look to complete it
Finally got Ope some lashes. I had been hesitant, because I was afraid they'd eat her eyes, what with Saiph's small eye sockets. But they do quite nicely! Also played around with her faceup some. Hmm. Just realized I didn't take any detail shots with the lashes. Oh, well. Here's the new work anyway! The End of the 80s by Estes 'n Anne, on Flickr
Usil is stunning. Such a gentle face for such a big guy. I love this picture of him http://d310a9hpolx59w.cloudfront.net/product_photos/2759226/caelum_205_original.jpg. Beautiful, lean body. *sighs deeply*
Dreamy. Oriental. Boy. Hell yeah, I want one. But I just got an Idealian so funds are low. Hopefully he'll not be a limited, or at least released once in a while.
Yup, not limited, and released once in a while like her other dolls. I hope you get one! I'm doing a four part layaway, so it will be a while, but I'm terribly excited about him!
My Keid Ara Dreaming is finally a complete doll More photos and informations can be found here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?574323-Lumedoll-Keid-Ara-Dreaming-as-a-girl Hope you like her
The big boy is so lovely, I see there are two other skintones for order now, I would love to see samples! And wow! What would you dress him in?
pewe, she is so lovely! A Keid Ara girl has been on my list for a long while now. What body do you have her on? EDIT: Ahem, just checked your thread...Dollstown. Nice!
@ MissEmily Glad you found the information and glad you like her Keep my fingers crossed that you will have a Keid Ara girl in the future, she/he´s such an amazing scuplt, just to fall in love
Hey guys! I'm thinking if making another thread for the 80cm guys. I'll going to be posting pictures this weekend hopefully. You guys cool with tat?!
bumping this thread with a photo of the lovely Antoinette, wondering if anyone has Bellatrix. She is calling to me, but so is her giant brother. Snow Devil by stellamaris61, on Flickr
Lumedoll is having an anniversary sale. Maybe I'll get that Saiph head... Does anyone know if any lumedoll colors match souldoll?
I just got my first Lumedoll! Dollist was selling this amazing Keid Ara with a SDink faceup on ebay. I just couldn't resist! (She's had several other dolls up at low prices, too.) 14-02-Kai-Coat-4853a by aprilllee, on Flickr
I love SDink's faceups! This is my first. And this boy's pic is still used on the Lumedoll site. I'm amazed he was being sold... And seriously, it was a low price. Only one other person bid, and didn't raise it much above minimum...! Gotta spam another pic. Someone was selling one of the classic Apple Avenue coats on ebay and I just got that in--so he gets to try it on... 14-02-Kai-Coat-4907a by aprilllee, on Flickr
Thanks, aernath! heh. I'll jam my poor boys into all kinds of clothes! Puffy shirts and Geisha coats! (I'm still trying to figure out what kind of things suits this guy.)
The Saiph head I orderd arrived a little while ago. He's lovely in person! Saiph has been a 'wishlist' doll of mine for a long time.
Wow, these dollies are beautiful! I really like Koit Elf, those pointy ears~ april, congrats for your boy, he looks great in that coat!
Eviebunny-- Thanks! I've always admired that style of coat... They were a bit pricey new, but second-hand, it was a lot more affordable... so it was another lucky ebay find for me.
This thread looks like it has been inactive for awhile but I just ordered a Phaet in peach skin with face up (since I don't have the confidence to do one myself yet). I am really excited about it as the sculpt really fits the image in my mind for a Japanese boy. I hope others will share their new Lumedolls from this ordering period when they come in as well.
Congrats, therealwalter! And joining you here, as I ordered a Saiph in tan. Been longing for this guy to join my crew, so really looking forward to his arrival. He's going to be fun to paint, although if the weather turns, he may have to wait until spring. The Lume sculpts are wonderful.
Does anybody know where Lumedoll puts the pictures of the bodies? I can see the heads and the measurements of the bodies but no pictures.
If you click on the gallery link it brings up Lumedoll's flicker pictures including body shots and different skin colors. Some of the skin colors are old ones no longer offered it seems. Those dolls are absolutely gorgeous!
Oohh, that Keid Ara painted by SDink! Congrats, April He's gorgeous. I owned Keid Ara once before, sold him because we didn't quite click, and then bought another that I'd been a fan of for years ^^ Faceup by Hiritai, but now mine, and I love him!
Congrats, Therealwalter - and good news for me too - my Saiph shipped out today! *happy dance for both of us*
Makoto, my Phaet, arrived home today and he is beautiful! Now I have to figure out how to post photos.
Thank you, aernath - and congrats to you, TherealWalter, on the arrival of your Phaet. My Saiph has also arrived, and he is gorgeous and so expressive, even without a face-up. Hopefully we'll have a couple days of warmer weather coming up, so I can get him painted (it's too damp and rainy this week), otherwise I'll paint him in spring.
My Lumedoll Phaet named Makoto with his friend Islanddoll Wind Noah. Noah has my first real face up and Makoto came with the artist's face up. Need to get him a wig since the one I had got was too small but he kind of looks good bald like the young Japanese boys sometimes wore their hair in a Bozu (monk) cut. I sewed the Yukata for Makoto but the size is wrong so now that I have him to pattern it on will need to try again.
[/URL] image by therealwalter, on Flickr[/IMG] Here is Makoto in a hoodie and pants I made him. It was a real struggle to put him back together as the hoodie would not go on over his head so I took his head off to dress him but the elastic she used is very large and the knots would not go through the neck hole of the head without yanking hard. Then the elastic slipped down the neck hole of the body before I got it stopped. The knots were so big they took a lot of pulling (and some foul language) to get back up the neck hole that they so easily went down. Grr. He is going to stay in this shirt or if I redress him will have to make something that does not require beheading to get on and off. He came strung very loosely so tightened him up in the process. He remained calm during the whole debacle. The same cannot be said of me. Tried on another wig I had for a different doll but it made him look like Cousin It.
YAY! Glad they made it home safely! ^_^ Therealwalter - I usually move the strings around so that the knots are inside the belly instead of the head for all my dolls. Those knots take up so much room, even when they do fit through the head hole, it bugs me and gets in my way of changing eyes. Your boy looks handsome! I like his hoodie and patterned jeans.
Thanks for the tip. Next time I dress him I will try that. My other dolls S hooks stay on the elastic and slip through the head hole so it did not face this problem before.
The weather cooperated, and happily, I was able to paint my Saiph, just before the rains began. His cap and fingerless gloves are also by me, and I tea-dyed his shirt. His wig is by my friend, Robyn-in-WA. It was originally white, and I custom colored it.
Makoto finally got his hair. And a new outfit (it needs buttons yet) [/URL] Makoto by therealwalter, on Flickr[/IMG]
If anyone has both a Lumedoll and Iplehouse SID girl, I've posted a request here for a hybrid photo: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php/672223-Need-photo-of-Lumedoll-head-on-Iplehouse-SID-girl-body-please!?p=11488821#post11488821
Finally got a sorta kinda decent picture of Rikki my Saiph. I just love this guy. Anyone considering her new boy Vega?
Has anybody checked Vega's body? It is aesthetically very pleasing. I am not totally sold on the head though this is probably due to the minimalist/sensitive face-up, but I like the look the body. Lovely legs.
He is! Hie is my most difficult doll to photograph. Every time I try, the lens gets blurry, lights flare, shadows darken…lol Woowoo to Vega…! Can't to see him when you get him and how he looks next to your Usil. I really kinda wished I got that guy.
