Doll Leaves 60cm Boys Discussion

daepus -Love the picture! Norway is so beautiful -I'd love to visit someday. And..your Andy is just so gorgeous!

Ah, it's so hard to wait for mine!

 

awh Thanks alot kurogane ,ur waiting for a Andy? do you have a character planned for him or what?^^

 

I'm waiting for an Evan, but it was a hard decision, as Andy was also being looked at. I just loved the serene expression on Evan's face and the ability to change his ears. That way I have more options: human ears, or elf ears.

 

daepus - beautiful photo! And I love your Andy!

 

Hey y'all, I'm thinking of putting in an order, but I haven't really found much info on what wait time is for Doll Leaves?

 

I dont believe they take more than 1-2months i only waited a bit over 1month for my andy but that was last yr, idk if the wait time have increased.. it also depends on where u order from

 

Wait time for my Len last year was a month. I ordered from them direct, they were amazingly fast and they never sent me any shipping notice so he just suddenly appeared at the door and I couldn't believe it! No idea if they're still working at that kind of speed though.

 

It's been a month since I ordered my boy from MOC, and I still expect at least another month before he comes in as dealers take longer, sigh.
Not long of a wait, but I do wish it'd go faster.....

 

I think I forgot to say when my Evan got here.. xD That was a couple months ago now? Anyways, here's my Wadley

 

TurtleJen -Wadley is so cute! I love the face up you have for him. Did you do it yourself?

I love DL Evan-I just got mine a week ago. I am in the process of doing his face up. I have the right weather, I just need to sit myself down and do it!

I also just purchased a used Noir head. Now I have two elf eared guys. They will have to body share for a bit, but I eventually plan on acquiring a used body.

 

So many lovely boys here--and congrats to those of you have ordered/received new members of your collection! ^^ I'm curious, what is everyone's opinion on the new body? I'm thinking of ordering for a floating LLT Roderich head I have.

 

Shadeling Sanguine -As this is my first SD sized bjd I have no real experience with the new or old body. I can say that the new body is very heavy with thick resin. So far I have had no issues with getting the body to pose and keep it. The elastic is very tight though. He creeks when I move him. I had a very difficult time getting his head off to do the face up -but that might just be because I'm not used to such thick elastic (only having yosd and smaller). Personally, I kind of like the old style body's sculpting just a bit better (better abs). The only thing I don't particularly like is the big hands. I like small hands and these are big, strong hands (lol) -it bothers me a wee bit. If DL sold SD female hands I would be tempted to get some, but alas, they don't. I would really love to get some DC jointed hands, but they don't sell them either!

I hope this helps somewhat!

Oh, and I do want to say that DL has put in stronger magnets in my Evan's ears (both human and elf) so I have had no issues with them falling off -they are pretty stable and it takes some pulling to get them out.

 

Yes I did his faceup! Thank you ^^ Doing five different pieces at once sure is interesting (all those ears @.@). xD I have some green on his elf ears, it's subtle, but it shows up in good light.

Congrats on your Evan getting home and your new Noir. : D I hope to see the faceup when it's done! And Noir too xD

(Doll Leaves has jointed hands if you're wanting to go that route with your Evan, there should be a review of them somewhere, maybe on youtube).

I like the new body, it's improved on some annoyances I have with the old one. Shorter legs that fit in pants, knees that don't bend backwards, elbow bend angle is better. Poses well. I also like the aesthetics a lot better. I keep considering putting my Mortin on the newer body at some point but I have a soft spot for the old one still and I like all my dolls having different bodies. xD My evan's body is also creaky. But it isn't that bad and I'm used to it now. (:

 

@TurtleJen , Wadley is super cute!!! Love his red hair.

 

Here's my Paxton.

Its been awhile since I poked my head in here, have some spam of my precious bean Tobi.

 

Anyone waiting for a doll? I put in an order through MoC in may, can't wait to hear from them!

 

Once MoC puts the order in to Doll Leaves it'll only be about a month before you get your boy. Who did you get? I've been meaning to get a Haruka for awhile but other dolly stuff has had to take priority. I wish I could order now for the Noir head argh.

Tobi went to an Aviary today! Waiting for my friend to edit the photos she took before I can post any though.

 

I ordered Asa during their event period, which was back in May, so I'm hoping soon ;_;

I hope your pics are done soon!

 

I ordered my Evan end of March and he arrived at MOC middle of June -exactly 12 weeks to get to me.

Since I got my Evan, I also purchased a secondhand Noir head. The resin is much darker than the new normal skin, so I had to hybridize. Oh well, I didn't know DL would be having a Noir event again, or I would have waited to get Evan AND a Noir. Sometimes a Time Machine would be so handy!
