For the new year I decided to finally hunt down some more of my long desired Delfs, so I grabbed myself a Breakaway and didn't get him until the very last day of February this year. I thought it was a really good find to get the original box, full doll with OE head, and the sleeping vampire head all unmodded : ) It feels like finding an unmodded vampire head is especially hard these days! Can you tell how loose he is? Everything was hanging off and totally separated from the joints haha. He was really dirty in all of the joints and even on/in his heads somehow. Judging from how rough the inside of the joints feel I think there is hot glue and/or the dirty stuff is old sueding. Anyway, the marks all came off with a vigorous soap bath and magic sponge (and I threw out his old nasty elastic, too).
Not sure what he's been through but he's really yellow. I put pieces of my El next to him and they're both 'WS', but the difference is clear. He looks like a bit like a banana next to NS delfs! I think it's funny. But it does make me consider a dye bath... That's for a day I'm brave enough. Maybe 84 years from now? Bonus pic of him and El trying on Dollheart outfits just because.
I put yellowed old Luts Delf girl body through a bath with Polident denture/prosthetic cleaner and it took all of the yellow out: I wish I'd known to do it to my Chiwoo before I had his faceup redone. Teddy
Wow! Congratulations Aestellica! What an incredible find! I remember when everyone wanted a CP/LUTS Breakaway. He truly is a treasure!
Wow what a blast from the past. I really miss old CP/Luts Delfs. They are some of my favs and its exciting you got to get Breakaway unmodded. Other then the yellowing his condition seems really great!
