Luts Baby Delf - 40cm

Awww...they're both absolutely precious! I love their outfits too. What a lovely look for both of them. I'm currently waiting for my second Baby Delf's body to come into Fabric, Friends and Dolls, and then I'll finally have a pair of these darlings for myself. I can't wait because the BDF's look so amazing posed with others of their own kind...they're even more amazing as pairs! So here's my little Azhar limited genie, Zahara, pleading with her twin sister to finally come home (and promising her a lavish genie wardrobe once she does.)

 

Oh my! What gorgeous outfit she is wearing!!
I am striving to purchase another BDF but I think I have to wait a while for that to happen

Your girl looks very stunning and I can't wait to see her sister to arrive! Please please share photos of them together I would definetely love to see them. I too also agree on you about them being so perfect in pairs! It sure is an eye candy

As for me, I am waiting on a sofa that I specially ordered to fit for my bdf to sit and relax. I will be posting here too to share a photoshoot once it arrives

 

@SHINn I went to your box opening and love all the pics! Congratulations on your new little one! I, also, prefer the sweet innocence of the child dolls, and the Baby Delf (and other big babies) are the perfect size to sew for, dress-up, tote around, and play with, in my opinion.

 

My BDF Rose, named Lollie Rose. She's wearing an outfit sized for a Kaye Wigs msd, but I love the way it fits her.

Beautifully styled.

tell me please syaolko head circumference at the pupa? Thank you in advance.

 

Congratulations! They are so adorable(*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡

 

!!! Too cute to refuse!!

 

She is adorable!

 

Yay! She's very pretty

Sadly mine is till in a box as I haven't succeeded in finding a head that works for me.

I wish I had waited before ordering and just bought a Gabriel instead of buying mine when they were first released and assuming I would be able to find a smiley head that would work on it (especially since they don't seem to have any plans to make a Raphael sculpt available in this size), but they don't sell the heads seperately, so the chances of getting hold of a Gabriel head seem slim.

Teddy

 

@Sarako, your Katrin looks so sweet...those white eyelashes really enhance her look.

@Teddy, I'm so sorry about your head woes...it must be very frustrating. I have twin Gabriel genies and I absolutely adore them. But I have to agree with you that it's too bad Luts never released the sweet smiling Raphael. I would have loved one of those!

 

@Sarako She is so adorable Is that the default faceup from Luts?

 

@Sarako Thank you And good luck with your twins lol!

 

I can't really complain since I have Gabriel and Raphael in Petite Ai size, but a Raphael head in in Baby Delf size would just be fabulous.

I've admired your genie twins for some time. They are SO adorable - and their outfits are gorgeous.

Teddy

 

I finally found a head that works for my Baby Delf body - it's a Miya form an old Custom House Ai (she currently has a split personality as younger nad older versions of herself - Little Marina on the Baby Delf body and Marina on her original CH Ai body)

Here is Little Marina, now that I've found the right wig for her:

The photo-bombing creature on her shoulder is her big sister Edith's cat...

Teddy

 

Oh congratulations @Teddy! How wonderful that you finally found a head to fit after your long search! She looks adorable on the Baby Delf body. What a cutie, and that wig looks amazing on her.

 

Thanks

Teddy

 

I hope it's okay to post here since the thread kind of seems deserted. I just ordered an early birthday gift in the form of a Baby Delf.

I've been looking at big babies for a while and while the Baby Delf body probably won't meet my usual requirements in regards to poseability I do love the aesthetics and sculpts. I'm a little worried about the huge ball-joints at the ankles but lots of owners assured me that it's not as bad as most photos make them look.

I honestly can't wait to meet my new family member but I think I'll have a long waiting time ahead of me. Maybe some users who are still active here can share some pictures of their lovelies to ease the waiting?

 

??! I hadn't noticed huge ankle joints...

Happy to - I haven't shared any pictures of Little Marina recently so was about to post one anyway.

Here she is with her DearSD friend, Kitty (Kitty belongs to Alice80) :

Congratulations on your order! The Baby Delfs are amazing. Which Baby Delf did you order? I absolutely adore my genie twins, Azhara and Zahara! They’re both Baby Delf Gabriel.

OOOOOooooh! That green outfit is just LOVELY

Teddy

 

Congratulations @Siara ! For a single joint doll, I think the baby delf are pretty stable and poseable! I'm pretty picky about needing stable dolls and prefer peanut joints, but she is just so sweet it didn't bother me.

Here is my Gabriel named Corinthia:

 

Here is a poseablilty comparison with a peanut joint Myou, Baby Delf can hold her own @Siara !

 

Thank you everyone for all the lovely photos. They keep me going in these troubled times. Your girls are all so beautiful!

I actually ordered a Daisy in Real Skin Brown, unfortunately by now I think I probably chose the wrong sculpt for the character I wanted to shell. They'd be perfect in normal skin for another character of mine though.

We'll see how I like them once they arrive. Who knows they might spark something and turn out to be someone else entirely. My fingers are already itching to buy a second baby but I am doing my very best to hold out and wait for the first one. I might cave if one pops up second-hand.

My mind knows it's not smart to buy more than one doll before you've actually handled that particular line but my heart just screams that there's never enough cute.

Keep the gorgeous photos coming. I'm surprised these lovelies aren't more popular.

 

I adore the body but (so far) they'e only brought out one face sculpt that apppeals to me (and it isn't available as head-only). It took me forever to find an alternative head to hybrid onto my body.

If they ever bring out a CH Raphael sculpt for this body, however, I'll simply have to buy a second doll.

Teddy

 

I agree, Teddy! CH Raphael as a Baby Delf is a unicorn of mine! I wish they would do that... especially with elf ears!!

 

I'm actually wanting to buy a Baby Delf Clover really bad. I've been so concerned about finding clothes that fit their bodies. I would love a cute dress but $150 is a bit steep for me. Do you find it difficult to acquire clothing that fits? I have been out of the BJD scene for 8 years, so I'm a little unfamiliar with new sizing.

 

Mine mostly wears clothes made for 16" Sasha dolls:


Little Marina (CustomHouse Miya/Luts BabyDelf) on The Shelf Above
Little Marina (CustomHouse Ai Miya/Baby Delf)

There are Ebay and Etsy sellers who make them, as well as makers websites. My favourites are A Passion For Sasha on Etsy, and Ruths Dolls (buying direct from Ruth's website: Ruthsdolls.uk ), and Boneka (40 cm Puppen - Boneka Tradition), but there are others such as Sashapotamus that come up if you search for "sahsa doll clothing" or similar terms.

Teddy

 

I love the beautiful items MoriTime on Etsy makes for the Rosenlied Holiday Child, which fit very well and are exquisite. If you want to start with a basic set, you could also look up dresses, shirts, skirts, and underthings for Disney Animator dolls on Etsy, but pants won't fit and the dresses may be on the shorter side since they have a slightly chubbier and shorter torso and shorter legs. Its a good place to start for basics though.

 

Oh that is brilliant. My daughter has several of those animator dolls and plenty changes of clothing. Thanks for that tip, itll at least keep her covered until I get something more permanent. I just put in my order for my Baby Delf Clover!!

 

Due to circumstances I'm not sure if I'll ever see my order. Trying not to feel too down about it. I still desperately want a baby to cuddle so chances are I'll just risk it again with a different dealer. Not looking forward to waiting another 4 months though. I really wish these baby sizes were more popular so there would be a higher chance to encounter them preloved. One can hope, can't they? ^__^

It's awesome to read that Disney Animator Doll outfits fit these adorable ones. I was wondering why pants are a no-go though? Is it because they don't fit around the waist or because they'd be too short? If it's the latter maybe shorts could work? I figure it's the latter since skirts seem okay?

I'd love to see more spam~

 

I’m so thrilled that I was finally able to obtain a grail of mine, a very limited Baby Delf Daisy Elf. She’s in tan skin. She’s my little deerling, Primrose, and I absolutely adore her. I feel so fortunate to have 3 Baby Delfs now...she’s so precious!

 

Absolutely adorable! Congrats on gettign her.

Teddy

 

@PoeticSoul Your Primrose is stunning. Congratulations on her arrival. I love the Tan color and her outfit is really cute.

Can I also share I'm absolutely in love with my unexpected arrival? It took a Paypal claim and a lot of stress but my baby Santiago (nickname Iago) finally came home. This is a linked image of him with temporary eyes and wig.

Iago trying out some things.

I need to get him a reddish wig and fitting eyes soon. These Baby Delfs are just so adorable. I love the size so much. They're beyond cuddly. It was so worth every penny and effort to get him home.

On that note...does anyone have a Lily at home? Preferably in normal skin but I'll take any. I'd love to see more detailed pictures. Who knows, Iago might be getting a sister.

 

He'll look adorable as a redhead - what colour eyes are you getting for him?

Teddy

 

@Teddy Thank you so very much! She’s really a dream come true, and she makes such a great little sister for my Genie twins.

@Siara Oooooh! He’s so adorable! I love the Daisy sculpt so much...it’s so precious...and it’s absolutely gorgeous in brown skin. I can’t wait to see what wig and eyes you choose for him. I love his name too, it really suits him. And I totally agree about the Baby Delf size...it’s one cuddly chunk-o-resin for sure. I just absolutely adore them!

 

Thank you all for the lovely comments ^__^ I'm not 100% sure on what color eyes he'll get just yet. I think I'll try some cheap(ish) eyes in different colors until I find the color that's just right for him.

 

Hope it's okay to post since it's been two months. Such a shame this thread is so inactive.

Have some Iago sporting his very first wig (that will soon be replaced ^__^.



I think he looks so cute in it but it's not the shade of red I was looking for. I am horrible at online shopping. I'm sure he could get away with pretty much anything.

 

Adorable

Teddy

 

@Siara Lago is so precious! I just adore his little face.

 

@Siara If I ever had any doubt about wanting to a baby delf to my collection, its gone now. Your Lago is SO adorable. This is also my first time seeing a BDF in any other color besides white/natural. I love the tan!

 

I ended up purchasing a Pansy on layaway and they should be here towards the end of February. They're my birthday gift to myself. Been curious about big babies and I had debated on Luts or Myou but I like the look of the Luts bodies better.

Does anyone else have a Pansy? I'd love to see some owner pics. Not sure if mine will be a boy or a girl yet but I kinda gonna wait til they arrive to decide.

Also what size eyes do you recommend for them?

 

@Cap'n Congratulations! Pansy is so adorable...one of my favorite BabyDelf sculpts for sure! As far as eyes go, I don’t have a Pansy but my Gabriel and Daisy sculpts wear 18mm.

 

@PoeticSoul
Thanks for the info! Will need to dig through my eyes to see what all fits. And wigs since I guess these cuties have big noggins. I'm getting excited! Though now my main worry is if I'll have anything they can wear since all my other msd are slim. Perhaps something from the SD box will fit.

 

@Sarako
Thanks for the recommendations! I'm probably just going to make a pile of things to try on the Pansy once they arrive and go from there. I also plan to check if Wellie Wishers clothes and shoes fit because if so I found the perfect outfit for my incoming little one.

 

Clothes made for Sasha dolls are a good fit.

There are number of makers who sell on Etsy, and Ebay usually has some listed too,

Teddy

 

@Teddy
I've never heard of Sasha dolls so thank you for the recommendation! That dress is so cute on your girl! Do you know of their shoes fit too? I'm kind of dreading finding shoes for Pansy.

Would anyone here be able to tell me the width of Baby Delf feet? I found the length but Luts doesn't show the width.

 

Very expensive vinyl "play" dolls made between the 60's and 90's, and now highly collectible.

Some of my favourite Sasha doll clothes come from A Passion For Sasha on Etsy and Ruths Dolls (Ruthsdolls - Sasha Doll Outfits Page One). You'll want the clothes for the regular 16" Sasha doll, not the baby or the "studio" dolls

No, Sasha shoes fit my SD10 (some SD13) sized girls: My Baby Delf shares shoes with my regular MSD sized dolls.

Teddy

 

Congratulations! I can't wait to see your Pansy! I have Gabriel!

 

My Pansy is actually set to be delivered tomorrow and I'm so excited!

 

Yay!

Teddy

 

She's here! I plan to take photos tomorrow but I adore her already! This is my first BB and I really like the weight to her, plus the chonk is adorable.

Edit: Ok, I lied. Here she is! I've been having a lot of fun playing around with her to see what fits. This is Cappy, she's based off me as a child and sort of a self insert doll. She's wearing a Volks MSD dress. :>

 

Yay!

How sweet she looks. That wig is fab on her

Teddy

 

@Cap'n She‘s absolutely adorable! Such a sweet little face, just begging to be indulged by a doting mom. Since she’s a mini-me, sounds like a healthy exercise is self-love which is a good thing these days. I say spoil her rotten! She deserves it.

 

My Baby Delf Pansy has gone through quite a bit of character development in the month I've had her. Originally had named her Cappy as my self-insert but I kind of disliked calling her my online alias. So for a bit I called her Frannie but it wasn't quite right. I think I've finally decided to name her Elowyn or Wynnie for short. And she still wears cute dresses but I found found I love her in more casual/relaxed attire. I've ordered a bit of various toy doll line clothing to try on her and thus far slim 18" clothes fits the best (though pant legs tend to be long).

So anyways here's my little Wynnie. :>

 

Have you tried Sasha doll clothing? Little Marina spends most of her time wearing items made for Sasha dolls. Would you like me to try some Sasha trousers and dungarees on her for pictures so you can see the fit...? ,

I haven't done that before as Little Marina's exclusively a dress-wearer usually, but I have several Sasha Gregor boys so have plenty of trousers she can model.
