CP Delf Discussion Part 14

I have a Delf El, who'd I love to show off, but he desperately needs clothes.

 

I would really love another girl. Lishe or DES or Juri 05 are the ones I'd most like! I feel like Blue (Soony) needs some girl friends!

Oh yeah, I haven't seen that many Lu-Wens around. It would be so nice for you to have one again!

 

@Cloudedmind : You should show him off anyway!!! Neck up haha. Actually I forgot how much I love the original delf boy torsos. What a time when all boy dolls weren't crazy jacked lol!

@Hyzenthlay : Best of luck tracking down your girls!! Lishe luckily pops up from time to time~ DES and Juri 05 might be a bit more tedious to track down, but I'm sure in time you will secure one. ^-^

@SacredMonsoon : SO LOVELY! Lu-Wen is such a lovely girl too... it's those plush lips... you've re-ignited my obsession with Lu-Wen!!!

Side note my Yder is home! He needs a bit of cleaning, and TLC but he's such a cutie.

 

@SacredMonsoon If I got a Lu-Wen, I'd probably keep him as a boy~ I used to have one waaaaay back when...but I don't think I have any photos of him anymore I don't see Lu-Wen's pop up too much these days, like so many of the later Delfs.

 

Hi everyone! I have a tiny delf family and still growing as I hunt down my babies! I just found my dream doll that got me into the hobby, EL-SS, and I can't wait to share him!

 

My baby arrived a LOT earlier than I expected! Welcome to the family, Elian!

 

@Lei Xing - congrats on your El! I have a SS El myself and I love him so much. The sleepy eyes just make them look so sweet, I think! Your boy is adorable and I love his blue wig! XD

 

Congratulations on Elian's arrival! I love his smirk and his dreamy eyes

My Lishe-SS who has a very similar name (Elias) got his crutches earlier this week. I'm really slow with this hobby, but excited to be making some progress with representing my characters. Planning for jointed hands and wiring his finicky arms soon

 

@pepperonipizza - Thank you! The wig is actually temporary, but it does suit him nicely. >A< I accidently got his wig in MSD size instead of SD, oopsie!

@Serraphym Omgggggg! I love him so much! He's such a handsome boy! Where on earth did you manage to find crutches in 1/3 size?!

 

They're Smartdoll crutches! I searched high and low for forearm crutches until I found them. The forearm part is a bit too narrow but seems modifiable. The metal part is also telescopic which is amazing

 

That's amazing! I had to check them out and they have other items too! I love that!

 

@Lei Xing : The chokehold Dreaming El had on me as an early doll collector was insane... I just loved his sly eyes~ His default faceup is beautiful too! What a lucky find

@Serraphym : Such a cool find for your doll! Lishe's always made the cutest boys too~ The way your boys' eyes are modded remind me of Delf Harang's pretty eye shape!

@PinkBear : Such a gorgeous Lishe! I love her facuep~ The way her lips are painted is so perfect

@SacredMonsoon :Happy 13th Birthday Snowy! I'm sure she's happy to finally be on a body.

I finally got my Yder dressed up and in a wig that I like for him~ I'm debating if I should wipe his faceup and do something custom. I'm torn because you just don't see early Luts customs Delfs anymore... feels a shame to wipe it. But it does have some discoloration and minor wear.... but I guess I'll let it sit for a bit and then decide if I really want to redo him.

 

You Yder looks so princely! I love that wig on him.
Definitely feel you on the faceup question. Sometimes I'll see an older Delf pop up for sale with a default faceup, which is awesome because it verifies authenticity, but I know if I bought them that I'd feel guilty if I wiped the faceup. But on the other hand, faceups were never meant to be permanent, I suppose, so do whatever feels right!

Your point on my Lishe's eyes is so interesting. I bought his head secondhand, and he's also a type 1 so is quite old. I was wondering if his eyes were ever modded or if there are differences in the generations of SS Lishes out there. Whichever it is, he's absolutely perfect to me

 

This was Elias' head pre-faceup. I feel like I've seen versions of dreaming Lishes where the eyes are more closed

 

@Serraphym : I'm not a delf expert by any means, but I think he might have been slightly modded to "open" his eyes a tiny bit more~ It's just a guess since I've seen some Lishe with very narrow almost closed eyes. I love his eye shape though~ It's definitely nice to be able to actually see the eyeball.

And you're right, I think I'll just wait and see how I feel about him later. He's fairly new so I'll see how attached I get to this particular faceup.
