I am so excited to have found this thread (know it's a little old, but still). Just ordered a tan Mint and hadn't come across too many photos of her....I'm twice as sure she'll be perfect for the character I'm wanting after seeing your beauties! Can't wait. Few more weeks....
Hey!!! This thread has been quiet for wayyy to long! I love my little 20cm boy. I'm excited for your tan Mint! I wonder if the bodies are still the same? I have no idea!
I will make sure I post lots of pictures. I'm still sort of new to BJDs in general, picked Mint since she was the closest I could find to my FFXIV Lalafell character's appearance - I haven't seen a tan one yet, but I think she will be perfect in that color. Agh! The waiting! >.>
Yay!!!! I love these little cuties. She will be home in no time. Please post photos!!! The only frustration is that I don't sew (yet) and it's really, really hard to buy clothes for them.
Breathing a little life into this thread! Considering buying an Acorn or MInt fullset! I want a Lulu deer soooo badly and this is my excuse to get one of these cuties I have been eyeing for like...three years ;P I just haven't decided who yet! And I read somewhere in this thread that Blythe clothes fit? Can anyone reiterate for me? Thanks! Bonus points for pics of these two styled differently!
Some Barbie things kinda fit. I couldn't say about Blythe since I haven't tried. Acorn and Mint are so cute! It's tough to decide between them. There's a 20cm Doll Leaves photo thread somewhere......
I'm not sure about those sculpts but my puppet version 1 wears 12mm eyes and 5/6 wigs. Here's the Doll Leaves Database for some pics.
Oh, thanks again!! I am also happy to say I found a Canadian dealer of Doll Leaves who offers layaway and lower shipping costs, not to mention there would be no pesky customs fees, so I think I miiiight be doing this come January
Oy, I am SO bad....I never came back to post pics of my girl. RL has had me hopping last couple of months, and I am embarrassed to say she's still nekkid....but I LOVE her. She poses so beautifully, and is very well made...I couldn't be happier. I'm going to try and rustle up a pic of my gaming character I got her for....I am going to try and do her faceup and start sewing her clothing over the holidays when I have some time off work, and will get better pics...these are just on my cutting table, on the fly this morning.
This is my character - not the garments she'll wind up in, but gives you an idea. I need to get busy! I love this sculpt for the character...the face will be perfect. Going to need to pad her garments just slightly to make the lower body a wee bit plumper.
I meant to 'get back' way before this...I took a deep breath and bought some supplies and tried my first faceup...pretty happy with it as a first effort, actually! I need some not-cheap-halloween-leftover lashes and a little practice, but she at least has a face..I am still very much enamored with her and working on clothes...OMG those tiny hems are killing me >.<
@Mamba Awe, congrats on your first faceup! She looks adorable!!!! I love the pic and you've made her so sweet looking. I hope to see more of her in the future!
I don't know when they started, but there's the resin colors: Skin Color Comparison (Images)-doll leaves I absolutely love her in the tan color. I had to take a leap of faith and imagine her in tan, because I really didn't like the paler 'normal' version for what I wanted. Clothes are definitely an issue...I have been playing around with some vintage 'Ginny' doll patterns from the 50s...surprisingly close!
I knew they had colored resin before, usually with limited dolls. I will have to keep that in mind in the future. I love to have Acorn in wheat.
