Angell-Studio Youth (58-61cm) and Charm (62-71cm) Discussion Vol. 3

@bahboh Ahh, thank you so much for these! This is really useful, and I love the faceups + painting you did for the mermaid tails. Butter looks really good here as well. :] Maybe someday I'll get a sculpt in butter, but this is at least reassuring for now that I think I'll enjoy milk!

 

Just saw someone received their Kelly! Not sure where they ordered from, but that makes me hopeful for mine being ready soon. We're right about the three month mark!

 

Does anyone know how to contact AS? I have emailed their English email but there has been no response for a while.

 

Unfortunately they are notorious for not answering their English email.

I wish I had an answer for you. Maybe try going through a dealer to communicate? Not sure they will unless you order with them, though.

 

Hi all! I have a beautiful solid pink 1/3 Charlotte and I absolutely love her face. Although, I am less happy with the high heel body. When I ordered I didn't realize this was the default body. It's not very flexible and I would've loved the other older body. I am looking for a cheaper body for her, so she can wear other types of shoes and just pose a bit better. Does anyone have a different body for their AS head? I heard the normal pink of Doll Family H matches as close as possible but the neck seems a bit bigger so I am worried the head won't fit. Any tips?

 

My Knight Kelly arrived earlier this week and I was finally able to pick her up and unbox her today. She’s beautiful and I love all the details!
However, after putting in her eyes I found out that I am completely unable to put her head back on- the strings are so incredible tight. I feel like I may have damaged my fingers trying… does anyone else have this problem? I could really use some tips because I’m at a loss here. She may have to go headless at this point…

 

Ooh congratulations! I am waiting on my Knight Kelly! I hope she will come soon!

I usually use this sort of tool when taking the head on and off. I can't remember what it's called (so this is probably not that helpfilul, lol), but it hooks onto the ring so I don't have to use my fingers.

 

I hope yours will arrive soon as well! Angellstudio told me it would take up to three months after I placed my order and I think they were pretty much right on mark haha.
And thank you, I’ll at least know to search then! There was a long kind of bendable wire included with her so I tried using that but just ended up really hurting my fingers.

She really is gorgeous though! It took me quite a while to put all of the armor pieces on but the way they’re made works so well. She really does look as good as in the promotional pictures. I’m honestly really impressed with their work on the clothing.

 

@Eviana - I think the tool is called a head puller.
Examples of type with handle and S hook type:

Thank you! I was able to get the head on with a keychain, figured it could twist like those hooks ☺️

 

@Eviana Ohhh a Knight Kelly! I'm also waiting on one. So glad you were able to get her head back on. I have to have my husband help me, but without him I'd definitely need one of those tools the others recommended! It's crazy how tight they pull the elastic in these dolls sometimes. Do share more pictures if you can get them to work, I know the forum is finicky but I'd love to see them!

 

Thank you! They definitely don’t make it easy haha.
I hope your doll arrives soon and that she meets your expectations as well

I have been trying to post some pictures but I’ve been unsuccessful so far haha.

 

Just wanted to drop a note that since we hit the four month mark, I emailed new clover singing to check on my Knight Kelly, and she replied that it would be September due to the makeup. @fate_xo You're likely in the same boat, I imagine.

 

@ryuunohime So I reached out to Christina just on Friday, and it looks like my Kelly has arrived? She said it should ship out today! So hopefully yours will also arrive and ship soon!

 

@fate_xo Congrats!!

Yeah, four months was the original estimate, but this seems to be how it goes for me with this hobby, lol. I'm usually the last one to get whatever sculpt I've ordered. Please post pictures when you get her! I've yet to see any owner shots of her knight version. (And I think only one Queen so far.)

 

@ryuunohime
Where did you see an owner pic of the when Kelly? Was it the fullset? I need to follow that owner!

 

@bahboh It was in the BJD Addicts facebook group. It doesn't look like the fullset but the pictures are still there, I just searched for "kelly" and found the post from June 10.

 

Well I hope it doesn't take too long! I did also order her super quickly, like as soon as she was listed! So that could be why lolol.

I will definitely post pics, she will probably get here soon though I do expect she will get in customs for a bit....excited to see her in real though!

 

Just wanted to let everyone know that I received a reply from AS' English email today (Aug 1)...but I wrote to them in March!!

I asked about a Kelly Knight fullset because I wasn't sure at the time if I'd gotten through with Christina. It seems they have some available on their site now, if anyone was still looking for her fullset.

 

So my Kelly and her knight outfit shipped seperately, but I got the Knight outfit yesterday!

I put it on the Xin since Kelly is not here yet. I will try to post some pictures. The outfit is really great but it was a nightmare to get it on her, and I'm pretty sure I put some pieces on wrong as well. So wish this came with a manual!
