Okay, so, please people, don't turn this into a "OMG CERTAIN COMPANY SUCKS" thing. I'm merely making a comparison... and asking a few questions. I just now got my Mini Fee Bran in the mail today, and now I'm at work, messing around with him. He's SO different than my DoD T.Too, Brody. O_O Now, since I've only ever had Brody before, I have no idea whether or not this is normal for a Luts doll or not, but... his head poses really strangely. As in, I'll try to put it in a certain direction, a certain angle, and SNAP. It jumps much farther in that same direction than I want it to. I can't get it to really stay where I want it. Is there a way to stop that? Also... ZOMG!!!! The mini fee Chiwoo have MUSCLES. I'm talking... like... muscles on their forearms, mucles on their chests... muscles that look so much more mature. I LOVE it. The torso joint is... new... to me. It's not in the middle like DoD dolls, but at his hips, which makes things very strange in terms of posing. But holy mudder o'gawd, he's got some amazing posability with his legs and arms. And also... he MOVES on his own. I'm sure those of you who've had Luts kids before noticed this, but... It's so odd to me. I'll put his arm or leg in one position, and then... ZOOT. It moves back. Heehee. Not "crazy leg" syndrome, but just tightness, I guess. I adore it. Lastly... a very, very amusing comparison in terms of the T.Too boy body and the Mini Fee Chiwoo? ...The Mini Fee Chiwoos... they've got much, MUCH larger peeners. Oh yes they do. O_O Any thoughts or suggestions in terms of the head problem?
Hehehe! I dont think those 2 sentances were supposed to match each other *cheeky giggle* First of all CONGRATS on receiving him! I want to see lots of Bran~!! You could try restringing him, a little looser, that should stop the scooty joints. Lock wasnt all scooty, and didnt have crazy leg syndrome either, but one of my volks boys were a bit scooty, so i just restrung and all was ok. How are you finding him?
Sounds like your having fun~ ^o^ I hope to get a MNF Girl type too if they ever come out with other versions. oh oh!! Can you tell me the difference in skin tone? I want to put a DoD head on a MNF... just maybe... ^^;; I just to know if it will work or not? ^_^ Thank you~
Er, I can't restring. I'm terrified. I've never done it before. Heck, this was my first time putting eyes in a doll-- Luts had them all wonky. And goddernit... you're a stinker! LOL. I did NOT mean those two to be that... er... close... in proximity. Does your boy's head snap? I forgot to mention... he's got awesome nips.. they're huge. Here's another-- on the faceup, are there tiny extra little lines that extend from the eyelid folds-- does yours have that? I adore it.
I'll be able to tell you soon... but not at the moment. I'm not at home, and I won't be able to get to a computer again until about Saturday. ;_; ... He doesn't look THAT much off from Brody, but I can't tell much from memory.
Yep - Lock has little eye lines too - so cute!!! and no Lock's head doesnt snap either - i was just going to comment on how fantastically he can hold his head - ANY position - its amazing! Such flexibility! I guess i got lucky with the stringing...
Well, CRAP. Do you know how I can fix it? *s.kdmfslkdjfoiurtie!!!!!! He's sitting here on the desk beside me, and he's looking up and away from me, and he's all... SWEET. Oh, dear god... he might end up being his twin brother, Brendan... the 'good' one. O_x AIEEE.
Hehehe, i wouldnt say Lock is all innocent and "good" so to speak. You have to update your siggy ^_~ I have no idea what you can do with his head *worries* without restringing him hey, i noticed you have a thing for names that begin with "b"!!!
Oh my I'm actually viewing this thread as you do my dear! I have to say everyone seems to LOVE the MF Chiwoo. I saw some gallery pics of MF Soo today and OMFG she has great cleavage. Soooo tempted to get her...(or at least her body at some point)
*coughs chokes sputters and dies while laughing* i was drinking milk when i read that and i inhaled and almost died ;___; you're trying to keeeeeell MEEEEE!~ @___o
She's out to get you...*shifty eyes* She'll take over the world before you know it! But i love her anyway... *ahem* Back on topic...
Congrats on your boy If he is strung too tight, try letting him sit on his feet with the knees against the floor for a couple of hours at a time , or when you are not playing with him, let him lay down with legs straight out. that should losen the strings a bit so he gets easier to play with
I don't have a mini-chiwoo so I can't say for sure, but if a doll is strung real tightly it can effect thier head movement. I know my kid delf always "cocked" his head to the side due to his tight stringing XD He should "loosen up" with some play time. (You can always make him "kneel" but popping his knees out of joint, and leaving him that way over night, should help loosen him a bit) I think Luts sends them a bit tight just because they know the elastic will strech. >>;; I want nekkid picture next to your DOD too I wanna see how they look together Also check the pictures of the neck join in this thread: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33812 Maybe the mechanism isn't "turned" all the way correctly? >>;;
I haven't got a mini fee (I wiiiish), but I've got a Cutie Delf, who was the first doll with the new head mechanism. She holds her head at any angle I put her in. So, your boy's head snapping to odd angles is not the design intent. I agree with the slight stretching of the strings ideas--have your doll try some of the stretchy yoga poses, or touching his toes (Squinch!) or kneeling. Ann in CT
Well I have read a number of times that if you put a suede around the top of the neck where the head covers the top of the neck it will stop the head from pulling unless its a strong pull. I will be adding some to my unoa head as her head pulls to the side easily. You can do this by cutting the suede in a little snake shape and gluing it around while someone pulls the head up.
Ari'l's (mini soo) head poses fine...I TOLD you i'd help you restring if you wanted. I've done it tons! I can't wait to seee him. You should remove his head <.<...it's fun!
I tried the kneeling all night with Delphi because although her head was fine she had crazy legs since i restrung her. But now she poses perfectly!
Since I got my SDC, I've realised that just about *all* dolls have bigger 'peeners' than DODs XD I bet even the *tinies* have bigger ones XD
actually it's the DOC's who have smaller *ahems* This may sound gross but if you compare all the MSD boys the DOC's are somewhat non existing lol no offense to those with DOC boys...hopefully the bigger ones won't be so tiny I really want a Lahoo ^_^
I feel the urge to share: I got ari'l to do one of those sexy crawling things...it was adorable, I will do it again and get pictures :-D *squee*
Do it soon, enabler! I wanna see....I decided that I'm going to end up getting a mini fee...and it's all YOUR fault! XD I had my other half do the faceup I wanted to see on her in photoshop and I love it! Thanks though...for being a great salesperson.
Does anyone know (or has anyone tried to see) if the Mini Fee can do that cute sitting thing (like Volks' Yuni and Liz) because of that funky extra joint in the legs? I'd love to know because that would just put the icing on the cake for me (I'm trying to convince my family to get me one for christmas and I think I'm winning XDDDDDDD)
I tried.. not really sorry he can stayin the pose but his knees kinda come out if you know what i mean. but he can hold the pose still
If you're brave you could always modify the legs to do that. Another member did that, bless their soul, and it worked out just fine.
The Volks SDC line is Super Dollfie Cute, and they have a pose where their legs go out to either side and their butts are on the floor, like they started out kneeling & their feet spread out: W Thus, the Cute sitting pose & the Cute doll line. Ann in CT
ok, i managed to get ari'l to do it just by twisting the extra hip joint around...it requires some fenegling...but she can do the SDC sitting...you just have to fix her hip joint when you're done, and she has to be leaning against something. *update: posing----> One leg outstretch/crawling pose SDC sitting pose (what's it called again?) note that knees are still in joints, has to support with hands though. Pointing her toe to the side while standing Crossed Legs Kneeling (she can also kneel all the way back and stay, but i didn't get a pic) Hope that was useful for someone I enjoyed taking them
Bunnii pwns. Seriously, you should talk to them about becoming their official salesperson 'cause you've sold it to me like....five times. XD
Thanks so much for the posing pics Bunnii! I was really curious about the Mini FEE posing ability....now I really want one...dammit. XD So cute and awesome!
