Doll Leaves Mini [45 cm] Discussion part 4

I love it, this divine, the doll chateau bodies are great, they are definitely one of my favorites, I love their double joints, their legs, their little feet and their arms, I love the way their clothes look, I have bella and sometimes she wears barbie clothes and I love that.
they look great with the Doll in mind heads on those bodies.

 

I'm thinking about getting a Doll Leaves sculpt as my next doll purchase. I really like Wish, but I wish (haha) he came with human ears... I know they're easy enough to sand down, but the humid climate where I live is terrible for faceups so getting him blank for modding would be an issue. Oh well, I'll have to start with someone else first! DL makes so many cuties, it can be hard to pick!

 

I've been seeing very conflicting comments about this but could anyone show me how well/badly Doll Leaves normal skin matches with Fairyland's natural skin? I'm completely in love with their new Myth body and would love to get it for my minifee Honoka. I don't mind if I need to do a little blushing to make them truly match, just curious at how big the difference is.

I honestly wouldn't mind adding DS Leilia to my collection either since she looks super cute but at the moment I'm trying to finally get bodies for all my floating heads so that'll have to wait a little (only 4 more heads to go!). + I want to see owner pictures of her first since going through these threads (yes I read all previous 3 too ) I noticed that some of the dolls that didn't really appeal to me turned out really charming with custom face-ups and some I liked from the company pictures turned out to not have as nice sculpts as I initially thought once the fancy default faceup was removed.

 

@digi from the last year the resins do not match. The Fairyland NS resin is much darker than the DLs NS. I can see if I can get pics later.

You might be able to find minifees with DiM dolls? My DiMs (both NS and WS) almost match DLs perfectly.

 

I'm very curious about the new "myth" body.
Myth1/4 girl body-01,1/4 option part,Mysterious series-doll leaves

It looks a lot like their regular type 2 girl body but seems a little less lanky?
same height according to measurements though. But wider neck, wider shoulders, wider waist etc.

I really wonder if the regular dream girl heads would fit on it, because I love me some body variation.

Also, when did they release Kaylee? i totally missed that so she's new.

 

Sadly it seems that DiM closed in 2019 so that makes getting their bodies a bit harder. But even if the match is bad I'd love to see the comparison anyway, thanks! I'll probably end up grabbing the body anyway for another head though. It's simply too cute to completely pass

 

@purple_monkfish : I think Kaylee was released in late January - I discovered her at Denver Doll the last day her fullset was available there - February 1st, I think. I had been considering ordering the Lan fullset, but when I saw Kaylee ordered her. ^_^ It looks like Kaylee's fullset is still available at Alice's Collections.

 

I got my Doll Leaves Maya (second hand) full set today and was amazed at the poor quality of the clothes. It's obvious that the clothing matches the web site, but it's so cheap! Is this something that's been discussed before and I just missed it? His boots are nice.

 

Aw that's sad i thought their clothes look so cute!

 

That's a real bummer! Did the clothing fit poorly, or was the sewing not professionally done, or was the colour off? Just curious - I recently splurged on the Kaylee full-set. <worried>

I think a couple months ago, another member mentioned that Lan's outfit and wig weren't nearly as nicely made as shown in the promo photos. But that's the only mention of Doll Leaves clothing quality that I can recall. It is discouraging.

 

Maybe (hope, hope) they have improved. My Maya is from 2016. The sewing was not well done, the fabrics were cheap and the shortcuts were atrocious. For example, the "ruff" around his neck was a piece of cheap lace sewn to a piece of lace hem tape! Now it could very well be that I'm just a snob. I sew for my dolls and choose to use good materials (don't see much point in wasting my time on cheap stuff).

 

Well, I finally did it! I took advantage of a DDE gift certificate I was given for my birthday that was really burning a hole in my pocket, so to speak, and I ordered an Oscar with faceup I'm so excited! I can't wait to show him off when he gets here, he was in stock so he should be here soon! Anybody have any Oscars to show off?

 

Oooh its so exciting that he was already in stock!

 

Would anyone have a comparison between doll leaves NS and Myou doll skin tones? I have a doll leaves yoko in NS coming and have a Lan in white (it was bought second hand and it's fairly yellowed tho), and was wondering if I would get a myou doll and maybe yoko could use her hands. What myou color would fit the DL NS the closest?

 

I have a WS myou tiny and an incoming NS DL boy who should be delivered today. I can take a comparison shot when he gets here if you'd like, @forged_in_mess?

 

Thanks Mamo, I would like to see comparison!

Maybe someone would have NS/pink Myou to compare with NS Doll leaves?

 

@forged_in_mess the WS Myou on the left is from 2017, and the NS Doll Leaves on the right is from late 2021. As you can see, even compared with yellowing DS normal skin is very light, so getting a Myou NS comparison will be critical here to determine if WS or NS Myou hands are your best bet. Good luck!!

A lovely soul on instagram helped me with DL NS and Myou NS and they are quite similar!

But I'm not sure if I like the Myou hands that much to order extra ones.

I found a comparison that doll leaves NS is similar to doll family h normal pink, so i got some hands in this color. Someone tried to hybrid doll leaves with doll family H hands?

 

Hmm I am considering ordering a body from Doll Leaves for my GanganDoll elf head, and after seeing the new "Myth" girl body, thinking of ordering that one. I've already tried this head on the "dream girl new body" of my Pearl, and it worked perfect, but this newer body has much bigger neck, so I don't know if it'll fit. I don't dislike my Pearl's body at all but I would appreciate the variety. (specially since I plan on also getting a Lan eventually)

 

I just got my new Doll Leaves Yoko from Alice collection. I as well own a new body Lan that I got second hand few months ago. My Lan has a logo plaque at the back of her head, but my new Yoko came without the plaque. Is it something that Doll leaves stopped doing?
