CP Delf Discussion Part 13

Hoo boy, I've been missing this thread! Most of my dolls are packed up still from the move, but this month Vivienne is my desk buddy since I'm working on a skater dress for her. I walked into the room and she was looking super beautiful and poised at that angle, so I snapped a quick pic! I love my Nanus so much, but it's really making it hard to not go on the hunt for my other CP Delf faves... someday, lol. She's on an AoD body, I think it really matches her demeanor!

Introducing my Nanuri07! His eyes have been modded open and he’s on a Feeple65 body. Name is still in the works and he’s likely to get a new wig and eyes but in the meantime these are his placeholders.

 

@DessyChan what a handsome fella! I like his smoulder, a heartbreaker for sure!

Love your girl @Mamo her wig color is so nice, like caramel!♡

@DessyChan he's so handsome! I love his mods he looks so unique!

I thought I'd share Feather for your Friday! ☆♡☆

 

@SacredMonsoon thank you!! That's Leekeworld's "Sandy Brown" and I feel like it's really neither of those, lol, but it sure is pretty anyway! It wasn't what I wanted for her at first but it's really been growing on me the longer she wears it

Feather Friday is a must-have addition to the schedule! she's just so lovely

 

Ooh haha it's a very nice color! I love leeke wigs, both my girls have ones now!
Aw thank you so much!! I will try to keep to that schedule!

 

I have not been good at resisting the temptations recently, and picked up an NS feeple OE Breakaway (I believe the same as the '08 luts version) that I saw being sold at a very reasonable price. He's not strictly on topic for this thread, but I am very curious how he'll compare to my '05 as I recall there were small differences, including the mouth shape.

Some of my dolls will likely be going through a body shuffle so he may claim the type 2 delf body from the Moon I have on layaway... Forever a struggle of too many heads and not enough bodies

 

That does seem to be an eternal issue.

I really thought I had a picture somewhere of my original and second release Breakaways together, but darned if I can find it. I'll keep looking, because it is an interesting comparison. There are some small differences between them.

 

That would be amazing! I will always appreciate any Breakaway spam I can get. I've had this rule of not owning duplicate heads but my love of the Breakaway sculpt just threw that out the window

On another note- are there any suggestions on a slightly taller body (~62cm) that would work for delf heads and reasonably match NS? My dream would be the old muscular feeple 60 body, but assuming that's near impossible to find, am open to any other suggestions. I pondered the feeple65 body but it may be a tad too tall

 

Depending on the resin batch the head was from, you might be able to match a Volks bod reasonably well. My not-a-vampire Sleeping Breakaway head from the Fairyland release is on an SDGr body, which is a little taller than a Delf. I haven't tried him on an SD17 bod, so I'm not sure how that would go proportion-wise, but they're even taller.

One of the old April Story guy bods might work, too. They were also fairly tall IIRC. I had Monarch (A "sugar skull" Fairyland head-) on the AS Senior girl bod for a while, and the resin wasn't an exact match... but it worked pretty well. It would have been very easy to blush her to get an exact match. Flying Fox, my Migi Siho, has that bod these days, and she matches it well, too, so MigiDoll's own bodies might be another possibility. I've never owned one, though, so I can't say much about height or proportions with a Delf head.

 

Don't have good photos yet, but the feeple Breakaway arrived much earlier than expected! Wow... He's definitely very different from the '05 version, as if inspired by but not casted from the same mold. I guess I'm not very surprised as I've generally known that Type 1 Delfs just have bigger noggins and wider faces compared to later releases. I'd always wanted Loki to be NS (or have an NS shell too) but I suppose he can stick to his good ol'BW self, and I can feel less guilty about owning 2 of the same mold given how different they are

 

I finally changed Adrastos' shirt from a winter one to a summer one.

He's not the shorts type, but skinny pants and combat boots are fine when he's out in hot weather.

I just realized that he looks like he has a suntan in this lighting.

Happy Feather Friday! ♡♡♡

Pardon for the atrocious lighting, but sharing my Feeple Breakaway (on a 2020 F60 motion line body) next to my '05 Breakaway for reference! The feeple head has sharper features overall, but regardless I still feel all giddy when I see Breakaways

The head is from '09, and matches my other CP resin from around that era. While the color is even, I find that CP's NS from that period yellowed more than earlier time periods where NS became more peachy.

 

Sorry for the double posting, but I'm almost done with my Lishe boy project too (just need eyelashes and his body to arrive)!
Thank you so much to @overlordu for the tip on the pan pastels. He was originally quite unevenly yellowed, but after a lot of work and blushing, he's now close to the original BW color. Unfortunately, this means I couldn't send him for an artist faceup, but you win some you lose some I suppose

Here is Elias

 

Feather got a surprise wig from my mum! Its the prettiest sakura pink and I think it suits Feather so much!
I also posted a photo story today!

Could someone please link me to the turn key neck piece you can use on other bodies?

 

Here you go!

Thank you!

 

Hohoho glad the Panpastel worked for you!! It's kind of annoying to do but it works pretty darn well
