Doll Leaves Mini [45 cm] Discussion part 4

I'm waiting on a DL Steven, in stock from DDE. My first ever doll was actually Jeremy, and I've had Yoko, Kira, and I think a few others but I could be mis-remembering. I really wanted Royal because it's such a nice sculpt but maybe another day!

 

I was wondering what are the differences between girl body v1 and v2?

 

Version 1 has a three part body split under the chest and above the hips while version 2 is a two part body split under the chest. I don't think there's anything different about the limb joints.

 

Does anyone know what other hands fit doll leaves normal skin? Maybe dika?

 

I think resinsoul does. The only issue is they are slightly big on the dolls

 

Awww I like the gentle and soft look of hands, I would probably want a smaller and expressive ones

 

I can't help you with the resin match for NS since my doll is in white, but for size and fit Dika Doll hands work well IMO.
If you want pictures, check out post #490 and #647 in this thread.

 

I was thinking of white skin tone, but I was sure that there will be more good matches with heads or hands in "normal" so I went with it looks like I made a mistake with the color ​

 

Don't despair! Being both affordable and well known for good posing, Doll Leaves bodies are popular for hybrids. I'm sure you can find some information on what companies match the NS if you dig around a bit.

 

Does anyone know which heeled feet by other companies would work best for a Doll Leaves girl with normal skin? I want to be able to put them in heeled shoes but I have zero experience with any sort of hybrids!

 

Hello! I just got my Doll Leaves Betty today. Is it normal for her strings to be so tight on one side of her body I can barely pose her, or is there something I need to try? Thanks!

 

If the doll is tighter on one side compared to the other it is possible that the knot is stuck somewhere and prevent the tension from evening out.
Is it the legs or the arms that have the problem?

 

It is mostly her right arm, but seems to be affecting that whole side of her body.

 

The most stright forward solution is probably to just restring the doll with the same elastic, making sure the knots end up in center of the torso cavity. That should even out any tension and make the doll pose evenly.
After that you can make a decision on if you like the tension- If she is too tight you may need new elastic, but since she is new, I'd wait a few weaks and see, since some elstic will relax a little with time.

 

Hey! I was wondering if anyone has purchased Louis. He's a doll I'm superrrr interested in, but am always hesitant to buy dolls without looking at owner's photos and reviews. More specifically if someone has him with the company faceup and has photos that would be amazing to see close up what that looks like!! (Trying to figure out if I'd buy him with the faceup or blank)

 

@forged_in_mess - There is a *really* good video on Youtube that shows the many differences between the bodies - Doll Leaves Bodies Comparison

That video helped me a lot! I hope it helps you as well!

 

I had read on this thread awhile back that Dika hands work. I'm interested in buying new hands for my Doll Leaves girl too. I'm going to try the Dika hands, next time I order from Alice's Collections. They have a lot of expressive hand poses.

 

I purchased a doll leaves Pearl second hand market, and I really like their body! Can't wait for my yoko to arrive from Alice collection. I'm thinking which sculpt to get next from them!
