Luts Tiny Delf Discussion Part 7

Here's my TD20 Hansel girl Wisp:

Awwww…she’s so cute! I’m really surprised by how delightfully delicate and fae-like she looks on the TD20 body. It truly gives her a unique vibe.

 

Thank you! They're the ones that came with her, so I believe they are 12mm. Normally I replace eyes when they arrive, but these seemed to suit her.

 

Sigh. It seems I have the worst luck with TDFs. I found a damn near pristine Unicorn Alice on Dollyteria and got her as a friend for my Kai (I still want Kai to have hooves and elf ears too, so I ordered a hooved elf Kai in the winter event), but now according to my tracking she was supposed to have been delivered last Friday along with another dollie that came from Mandarake, but I received only the other one. Alice was marked as delivered at my home address in the tracking app anyway, so I can't track her whereabouts anymore. I called DHL this afternoon and they recommended reporting the package as missing through their site so they can investigate. I did, i really hope she'll be found>.<.

 

I've had that happen and they found my doll. They can go back and see where the employee was when the package was delivered, so, it's not hopeless at all. I hope you get her ASAP!

 

Thanks for the reassurance, I really hope they will! Also I love the little cutie in your avatar .

 

Update in case anyone was wondering: DHL investigation revealed that the delivery guy messed up and accidentally put my package in with a bulk order for some big company. I was told to wait until the company found it and put it back in the mail and into DHL's system. Yesterday Dollyteria contacted me saying DHL let them know that the package was considered lost and they said they'd give me a full refund. Got the money today, so I guess that's that. Either someone got a free doll or she's stuck in a corner of a warehouse somewhere or they threw it in the trash or something. Boo. Now I'm extra glad I also ordered a hooved elf Kai directly from Luts.

 

So sorry to hear that! That’s a real bummer.

 

@ShuriTigerH I’m so sorry this happened to you…heartbreaking! I am very happy that you got a full refund however. But that doesn’t compensate for all your angst. I know this kind of thing can happen with shipping, but it’s quite sad nonetheless. Poor little lost unicorn.

 

Thanks you two^^.

@PoeticSoul Yeah, it is sad. I keep hoping she'll turn up at some point after all, but yeah. hopefully I'll find another one some day^^.

 

My tiny Delf Kai elf with hooves arrived today . Here's both my boys. Neither of them can stand unaided at this point, Incubus is too floppy and Hooved is top heavy

Love this! Is the shirt Blythe size?

 

Gave my neglected little Tyltyl a new faceup in an attempt to rebond with him. He's now called Tatties (Scottish word for potatoes), always grubby and disheveled with a permanently runny nose.

He was NS but it yellowed horribly fast, don't know if it was an unstable batch or not.

 

Tatties is so-o-ooo cute! That faceup is certainly filled with character, making him absolutely unique. He looks like he’d be running around getting into no end of mischief…very innocently, of course.

 

Thanks @PoeticSoul, yes I can see him getting into all kinds of trouble…I can also imagine him finding an old sticky sweetie (candy) in his pocket and eating it fluff included, maybe even offering you a half eaten piece.

 

@Blodeuwedd I absolutely adore Tatties!
What year is he from? I have had issues with Luts NS resin from around 2019-2021. Mostly discoloring quickly and unevenly. :/

 

Thanks, his cuteness is beginning to win me over again.
Not 100% sure but I think he’s probably around 2019, I got him from Angelesque here in the UK and I know it wasn’t during or post Covid as I didn’t order any dolls from them after 2019. He was the last or one of the last from there. First photo I have of him on my phone is early 2020 if that’s any help at all. Sorry to hear you were affected too.

 

As I was making his dolly profile I'll pop in another photo of Tatties.

oops, I accidentally a doll. She's a Tiny20 Delf and while she's super-sweet, I have no idea what I'm going to do about clothes, since patterns are very hard to come by.




Does anybody have one of this size? I'm curious to know what other dolls' clothes can fit her.

 

What a cutie! I don't have any of the Tiny20 line but I wonder if they can fit Blythe clothes? If so, then there are a lot of options in that size.

 

I did a test, and Blythe patterns at 76% seem to work pretty well!

 

So cute! I LOVE her little shoes! where did you get them

 

Does anyone in the US have a good go-to for their tiny and tiny20 doll stands?
For some parameters: I am boycotting hobby lobby; I want to stay within the US; and I'd love for them to be under $10.00 each.
I know there's also a bunch of options at the thrift, but I haven't been able to go in a bit!

So I was looking around and so far I've found that LUTS' site is all sold out of this size- and Lati Yellow has some on their site, but these are both overseas. Dollpeddlar has these Kaiser stands (or from this collecting site) which look great- but because they're meant for action figures the waist size seems a bit too small for LTD, which is at least 3in around. There's also these from fabricdirectcraft; particularly the #T13 with a 4" diameter.

Has anyone tried these, and could you bend them outward without too much struggle? I have stands similar to this style for my YOSD and MSDs, and I can bend them around alright but I'd love a second opinion!

 

I bought a Tiny Delf Elf Hansel in purple skin secondhand from Dollyteria, and I am so in love! This is the first Luts doll I've received in person (currently had a honey Delf Gabriel and Raphael on order from the discontinuation sale), and the quality is fantastic. She has what I'm assuming is the company face up and it is really adorable. The purple color is so, so pretty, too! I can't wait to make a wig and clothes for this girl and get my other, slightly bigger girls from Luts in a few months.

 

If anyone buys the new Delf Teenytaurs please share! I have an older one and I'm super curious how they've altered the connection point between the centaur body and the human body. Between mine and this current one they redid the tiny delf body so it's going to be a little different in terms of size/shape.

 

I have ordered the Zebra version, but the payment has not been confirmed yet. Norton security blocked the return from PayPal to Luts site claiming that it was a phishing site. Has something like that happened to anybody else? I got a PayPal receipt, so I suppose I'll have to contact Luts if the payment does not turn into confirmed in a couple of days.

 

Congrats! I have one and she's an amazing little doll!

Just know that the purple resin will fade over time, even in indirect sunlight. It will help a lot if you box her (or cover her) when you're not admiring or playing with her.
I made the mistake of just setting mine in her box without the lid, allow very much in the "shade" in my doll room. I noticed the other day that she's lightened significantly and it's uneven, because her back side and the inside of her head is decidely more purpley pink. I'm mad at myself for not noticing sooner. It should be ok because she's my little Halloween witch, but it's still upsetting. The bright pink of Luts' Strawberry Pink skin has this issue, too. But thankfully their gray does not, as little Kai loots exactly as he did when I first got him.
