Ball Jointed Dolls- Thread #3

[M!ndy]

Oh my - Rhini she is an adorable combination!

Thanks everyone for your comments on Eliska I'm so glad she's turned out so well. I can't wait to give her a face/blushing and make her a proper outfit and wig

And this right here is why FL will never be able to compete with Soom or Luts.

I agree that they'll never be able to compete regarding fantasy parts. Fairyland is my #1 company for dolls because they have posing locked down.. however, Luts and Soom definitely know what they're doing when it comes to fantasy parts and wowing collectors.

Yeah, Soom and Luts have amazing fantasy parts, but for the most part, FL has better face sculpts on their smaller dolls. I love all three companies, but there's more diversity in LTF faces than there is in Soom littlegems or Honey Delfs. Although, this is just opinion.

Yep - agreed. While posing is pretty important to me, I am also pretty fussy about sculpts so FL's range is nice (I also really love the Sleep Plate options from Fairyland). I would like to see more diversity in the PKFs, but I do agree that LTF faces are pretty diverse compared to other companies.
Not that my collection is overly diverse anyway.. given that it's basically 50% Flora at this stage


To be honest, the ability to hybrid between Fairyland, Luts and Soom is what keeps me excited about this hobby (that.. and Aileen Dragons. I can't seem to ignore them despite their limited posing lol)
The hybrid options are why I have two MNF/Luts KDF deers plans in the works (thanks to suppi who I shall bother for expert wizard guidance ), another LTF/Soom faun to put together in a few months and more pukitaurs planned

WHAT HAVE I DONE......The cute is...overwhelming 

PERFECTION!!!

Oh my wow....   I love her.  She would be perfect.

M!ndy  And just... more wow.  I love her too.

I do have the 'need a new dolly' itch, but I'm trying to be good. I have to wait for something that really moves me.

I am considering selling my second tinytaur... we'll see. It's either that or buy another pukifee to make another hybrid, but I didnt buy the human lower body from luts so I wouldn't have a complete doll to sell on if I did that. I already have an extra Kai that I need to sell but have been too lazy to string back together.

[Uninu]

Oooh, a tinytaur... Tempting!

I just sent a question to Cuarto about my Lell I haven't heard anything about my Lell in over two weeks. I assume the production has been delayed again, but I would like to hear about it.

I am loving seeing everyone's new dolly additions.

I could have a new doll for the price I'm paying for the new Halo 5 Guardians Xbox one I'm buying. Gaming comes first for me though. I'd truly go nuts with out my system.

[Galactica]

Wow, I love those little fauns! Mindy love how your critter is all done up!
I am definitely out of doll money for now-

SO I have been working on crafting stuff for them instead.   I painted up this ugly plaster Carousel horse for my Angel Egg Carousel doll- I think it works!  I had tried making one from a Bryeyer (since that is what Marmite Sue did) but in person it just looked WAY too small for her so I found a larger horse.  He's a little uglier, but with some gold paint and flowers, it is harder to tell

Also getting closer to finishing my crown-helmet project!  Although I made the helmet for my Serenade doll- it actually fits my BJD fashion dolls too.  (Right now it looks like the crown part is floating because I haven't soldered it to the helmet yet - when finished- the crown should be nearly flush with the helmet)

Does anyone have a wig similar to this they'd be willing to sell cheapish?

Galactica, you have such pretty dolls.  I think that carousal horse works beautifully for your girl.

Just bought a pretty dress and shoes for Mayu, now she won't be sitting around in her underwear. I really should get her out of her box this weekend and work out where she's going to sit.

Galactica, your dolls are AMAZING!

[Vertefae]

Sweet Dana arrived today. Her box was crushed through. I'm trying to get a partial refund, she needs a new face up due to the damage.

Aw- thanks you guys!

And Verte- I can't believe your poor doll was crushed! Is the damage only to the paint then, not the resin?  Who was the shipping company? I would have been very unhappy...

[Vertefae]

It's just the paint thankfully. I bought her from a girl that lives in Greece

[SwordPony]

I'm sorry your dolly was damaged. Did the seller package like a doll should be packaged? Or does it look I like it mostly Poor post office handling.
