Doll Leaves Mini [45 cm] Discussion part 4

I have a couple of heads on order. May I ask when you ordered yours? I wonder how long I need to wait.

 

I ordered through Alice collection on 14th of February and it was shipped 25th of April from China. Reached Germany in the middle of May.

I asked about waiting times from Alice collection for doll leaves and was told about 3 months. It's quite short wait.

 

I wondered if anyone received their Una in porcelain skin and could share some photos of her? I can see she's still available to order, and I am curious about that porcelain skin thing.

 

Dolly planet had Leilia in stock and I couldn't resist her any longer so I added the deer girl to my collection and she arrived today:

(Wig and clothes were included with her as a gift, unexpected but sweet )

There's just one thing I'm a bit ??? about; Her horns. They have magnets to attach them to the head but the head doesn't have other magnets than the ones holding the headcap nor was there more magnets included so I could attach them to her wig instead so I can't put them on her. not a big deal since I wouldn't use them anyway but odd regardless.

 

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone! I can finally participate in this thread, I just put in my order for a sweet little Louis from Alice's Collection! Could I see some of your Louis cuties? I'm super excited!

 

Congratualtions! I hope everything goes quickly and smoothly.

 

Just got my Doll Leaves Ida, and she's so beautiful! Only thing is that her S-hook immediately chipped her wrist (it's tiny but still has me scared to move her hands!). Is this a common problem for Doll Leaves Dolls on the Dream Body? Or how to avoid it happening more? I wasn't moving it carelessly or in a crazy way, only within what seemed like it's normal range of motion. I'm also scared of the chip getting bigger so any advice is appreciated! This is my first MSD

 

Do you mean it chipped the channel or did it somehow damage any visible part? And was the chip in the fore arm piece or the hand piece? Pictures would help.
One thing that may have caused it is if the S-hook is too weak for the tension the doll is strung with. That can cause the hook to open up just slightly and either get stuck or scratch the inside of the channel. Is this what may have happened? If so, best thing is to replace the hook with a stronger one and as a temporary workaround you can string the doll a bit more loosely.

 

It was the outside of the wrist, a tiny chip on the edge. It's hard to see, which I'm glad for, but I circled it in the pic. Makes sense maybe she's strung too tight, because it doesn't seem like the hook should be able to chip it like this. Plus her arms are very kicky.

 

Aw, it won't allow me to do photos. I'm new to DOA so maybe that's why..

 

My doll leaves doll was my first, so part of it was due to my inexperience with restringing, but I also have had the same problem with both the wrists and the ankles. And yeah, the arms don’t pose nearly as well as my LUTS doll does, though sueding does help, especially with the shoulders.

 

Just copy the URL into the box that pops up when you click the "Image" tool. Make sure it's just the URL with nothing else added and the image should show up.

About the chip, if it's at the outside of the wrist it shouldn't have anything to do with the hook. Not sure what else may have happened. I have the older boy body and never had a problem like that. But I am not very familliar with the other bodies. Mine pose very well and did so right out of the box without any sueding. He is my best poser by far.
Seeing what tybaltstyddies just wrote, though, it does seem to be a known problem.

 

Thank you guys! Mine poses great her arms are slightly kicky, but only slightly. But when I say outside the wrist I mean it chipped a piece off the very edge of the wrist, clean through. It was the s hook because I saw it happen, unfortunately. I’m glad to know it’s a known issue though! I’ll just be extra careful with her wrists and ankles, and pose them/restring her very gently. I appreciate the help

 

Does anyone here have a Duncan? I ordered a head and I'm trying to figure out whether 14 or 16mm eyes are best for him.

 

Hi! I would definitely go for 14mm and small iris. Cheers!

 

I have just received my Doll Leaves Lan head and I love her, down to the little asymmetries on her nose and lips. Cutie!

I planned to hybrid her with Doll Chateau kid body, but before I ordered Lan I had already DC body in pink on order [planned for an entirely different doll]. And looks like DC pink and DL normal are not a good match I do have another DC body in peach though and they match almost perfectly! DL normal is just slightly more pinkish than DC peach [which is also pinkish but more "frosty".

No issues with the head hole vs neck size - it is just slightly bigger that DC kids head and a bit more wobbly. Nothing a rubberband around neck or a rubber pad can't improve.
I was afraid of the Lan head circumference [which is about 18.5cm] to be too big for the body, but it actually looks nice. It's the size of latest DC SD-sized released doll though soo

My Louis shipped after two and a half months today! Very excited to get him in, and so much sooner than I thought, I just got the shipping notice for the MYOU body I ordered for my DZ Benjamin like 2 days ago! Hopefully everyone else waiting on something gets shipping info soon

 

I got my Lan last week... my beautiful son!! He's so much slenderer than I thought he would be. I think once his arms are sueded he'll be a pretty good poser I love the hips! I love his looks!

I just need to figure out his eyebrows now.

 

Congratulations on your new doll! Do you have plan for his look or a character?
