CP Delf Discussion Part 13

Jun 2, 2021

    1. I also bought the DVDs pre-Blu-ray back then, so you weren't the only one. :XD: I also bought all of the manga and even a few of the dojinshi. Its still up there as one of my favorite anime series. After all, it was Gravitation and my wanting to make Nittle Grasper IRL that got me into BJDs. :aheartbea:thumbup:kitty2:3nodding:

      Perhaps, you should put your Juri head out where you can see them. I do that for things I need to work on, otherwise my ADHD makes me forget them. Yannow, "out of sight, out of mind." :sweat Sucks when Life takes you away from doing fun stuff, like working on dolls. I can't wait until you start working on him, even if he's faceupless and bodyless! :3nodding:

      Speaking of, since its October, I'm slowly putting Halloween outfits on My Crew. I just re-found some stuff that I totally forgot I had for the Sakuma twins, so that's what they're wearing this time around. :XD:

      Yeah, I need to figure out what doll is going to the spa this time around. It might not be until after the holidays, but at least I can have an idea who's next.

      @TeaPartyRevolution, such a cutie! Where did you get those eyes from?

      Also, @manabusama, thanks!:whee:

    2. I don't have the manga, I did have some of them way back, but stupid me, did something I regret today :doh I too have ADHD, and a bit of Aspergers, and some times I end up doing things on impulse because at the moment it feels like the right choice!

      I had a period where I gave up my small BL manga collection. Idk, at that point I felt I were done with it. And not having so much space to keep things I felt like rather having a bit more minimalistic collection of things, or as much as I can have in my room where all my hobby things are, without things looking cluttered with too much things.

      When I were even younger in my teens I gave my younger cousin all my G1 My Little Pony toys. But later in my adult years I regretted it as you should keep some memories from your childhood. The only thing I have now is a stuffed animal. I just feel like I do many stupic choices that I'll one day regret :sweat

      Not much I can do about my dumb choices now, but at least I never gave away my Gravitation DVDs :roll:

      I have no idea when my Juri will get painted as I will have to send him to get painted by somebody else. I don't have any painting skills or energy to do it myself because of my chronic fatigue. I'm first going to have to order two sets of smaller Luts hands, one in ns skin and one in the reals skin peach (obitdu white) to figure out which color would be best to order his Delf body in. Once I have his Delf body, then I can send him to faceup. But at the moment, I have to deal with some other money related things outside of the hobby.

      It sucks, but what can I do :| I have put the head in a nice spot though so I see it everyday. But if I'm lucky and get the chance I might get to order the body earlier. But there's no knowing how things will be for a while.

      That's right Halloween is coming up, no Halloween for my dollies though, but I bet your crew will look cute all dressed up :)But for me, I'll at least try get some Christmas outfits for my dolls, or at least that snowman costume I've been wanting for my my YiZhan Plush dolls.

      Here's some pastel Feather, if anyone wants to see me do ADAD october, I'm posting them on my instagram! I'm not really one for halloween but the themes I'm doing are not really festive! Lol :lol:
      I am starting to crochet soon as well! Hoping to make some dolly money! :dance

    4. I understand "doing things on impulse," but I'm kind of the opposite of you. I tend to hold onto things, which isn't good when you live in a small house like I do. :sweat I have learned to "go up the walls" with how I store things. Doubling up the manga I have on my bookshelves, starting at the bottom and finding storage containers that stack, stuff like that. Including My Crew, many of them sit on top of my wardrobe, on top of dressers, and the like. For a while, I even had Nittle Grasper sitting on a kitchen chair. But we are currently rearranging the house and getting actual furniture, so they're in the bedroom on a bench with some of the others.

      I bet you can find BL manga on amazon, Half Price Books or Barnes and Noble...once you deal with the "grown-up issues" that you need to pay for, of course. Don't worry, I still see many BL manga for sale. :3nodding:

      I sent Shuichi off to the spa because I don't have the talent to do faceups. It took me some time to get together the money to do so, but as you can see in my other post, it was well worth it! :love I'd love to see how well Luts skin types go with a CP/Luts Delf head. I know they don't match very well anymore, but you can have your Juri's skin matched to whatever body you get. Be sure to show the hands along with the head, I'm interested to see if it would work with a 2008 FL head I have. AFAIK, CP's NS resin is still a similar color to what CP Delf heads are.:?

      Some of My Crew have holiday outfits, perhaps I'll put them in them closer to December.

      Oh, that reminds me! Ryuichi got a new wig this past weekend! He now matches in color his identical twin brother, Ryuma, but the wig definitely needs to be trimmed. I have a former hairdresser friend that has offered to trim it, but they're not in the hobby...yet. ;) They're fascinated with one of my other non-Delf dolls, so who knows if I will enable them to join the hobby. :sneaky

      @SacredMonsoon, Feather is adorbs! :D

    5. It's also that I have grown a lot in the hobby since the beginning, going through different BJD styles. In this small space I got to keep my hobby, if I were to hold onto everything I've ever bought, I don't even dare to think about how it would look here then :sweat I'm able to let go of some things that are no longer relevant, of same interest to me as before. I've also had to make some room for my tarot, oracle and crystal collection. And to my The untamed/ Mo Dao Zu Shi/ YiZhan collection.

      But I have of course found a few things in my hobby that I know is life long. One of them is Mana-sama my dearest idol, always in my profile picture. He's the reason why I ended up in the hobby. First time I ever saw some BJD dolls were on MySpace. A Mana-sama fan had 2 Gothic Lolita BJDs on her bed. And that made me want to create a Mana-sama kind of doll character of my own. But later I were lucky to find a Mana-sama MNM, but also Gackt and a Kyo GO that I joined.

      Your Shuichi got really cute with that new faceup :chibi It's definitely worth the money sending a doll for faceup, eventually my Juri will be sent for one too :)

      I don't actually keep any mangas now, but I have my Mo Dao Zu Shi novels, and thinking maybe buying the Heaven Official's Blessing novel. Oh but I amd getting the Mo Dao Zu Shi comic (Manhua).

      About the BL, I were more thinking if I'm oneday able to get myself a pre-owned set of the Gravitation Ultimate Collection Manga, then that may be something worth looking into.

      Would be cool to see all your gravitation boys together, but no preassure though XD

    6. Hey all! I was wondering if my Lishe looks normal or if the eyes appear to be modded at all. They look a bit wider than other Lishe. She is an older Lishe from 2007.

    7. @gazenhokenz To be honest it's difficult to tell from that photo as her head is tipped down. That is a legit Lishe stamp though. Here's a blank head of one my Lishes, maybe that will help you figure it out. (To be honest they don't look quite right, but I would want to see them from another angle).

    8. Heres a photo of my 2011 lishe, i feel like yours eyes look a bit different @gazenhokenz, hope this helps!

    9. Looks like maaaaybe the bottom eyewells were sanded a little? Like, her eyes don’t look quite as … smiley? As the other Lishes? If that makes sense. :sweat
       
    10. Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your replies! I was definitely thinking maybe the button eyelids could have been opened slightly. I attached a few more pictures from different for further reference!

      Other potential (but less likely) was that this was a Lishe Special that was converted to a normal? Only a possible theory because my box says Lishe Special. But that would have been a master modder to make it look so clean.

      Or could it just be a Lishe that was casted with slightly different eyes

    11. @gazenhokenz Yeah, I think it's possible she was modded from a dreaming Lishe. Her eyelid crease doesn't quite match up perfectly when you compare with @SacredMonsoon's and @TeaPartyRevolution's photos. I also think it looks like her nose may have been sanded.

    12. I agree with @overlordu i think her nose might be different. Heres a reference of mine's nose, if it helps!

    13. @gazenhokenz Still would have to have been quite modded from a Dreaming Lishe too - they still have the same line on the lower part of the eye and I think that's where yours has been modded.

      And I agree with @overlordu about the nose, it doesn't look quite pointed enough!

      [​IMG]

      Here's another shot of one of my Dreaming girls with an OE here if you need the comparison. (The Dreaming in this one has a slightly different lower lid, but you don't want your Lishe to be modded from this head... it's a vamp.)

    14. Actually to me it looks like the opposite. Mystery Lishe has pointier nose while Feather(?) looks like her nose is more rounded. Maybe it’s the pic angles that give that illusion?
       
    15. @TeaPartyRevolution Agreed, it would have definitely been a crazy amount of modding to go from a Dreaming head.

      @Stormlight I'm even more confused about the noses haha. Everyone's nose looks different to me after staring at them for so long :lol:.

    17. So an old hybrid thread gave me some last minute dolly inspiration today. So I figured I’d share my new to me, re-shelled from my own collection Rang-Tu, my delf Nanuri07 who now has soom super gem Sphaler legs. (Link for now because I can’t get the pic to work on my phone.)
