1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Dream Doll 'Lily' from Laidoll - Anyone Recognise Her?

Aug 23, 2006

    1. Mendosukai - oh beautiful, I've thought of another word to describe her, enigmatic :) , she just looks so inscrutable and like she's dreaming of something we can't see. I love that pic of them both laying on the bed, Merryl looks like she's describing her ideal guy, or home, or...something. Its nice to see pix of different dolls together.

      Xenokitten - welcome to the forums! you can't go wrong with Lily if you choose her :) Most of us here have found we bond really well to her, and her posing is brilliant just as she comes from Laidoll.
      Aw sympathy for the unemployed bit - good luck searching and good luck with getting your first doll. keep us posted on progress:)

      (I have a little obitsu like your volks, they are cute and I love my 27cms)

    2. good luck xenokitten!

      Sue, i think that's a really good word to describe her :3 although she's probably describing her ideal kitty, rather than a guy....... (she's not much younger than my other dolls but she has a very childish mindset) lol i've been trying to take pics of multiple dolls lately rather than just one at a time, it's been kinda difficult to think of ways to pose them together :/ but it's easier than trying to think up things to write photostories about >.>;;

    3. LOL yeah - should have realised - Kefri in that position would be describing her ideal horse..... :)

      I like what you have done so far with the posing, and yeah I've not got around to photostories yet but I can imagine they take some thinking up. I have plans once her horse is done and if we can ever find her a dog.... and there's the penpal thing too of course.

    4. well, i have a lot of fun doing the photostories and everything, but it's hard to think of random things to write about. i have a big main storyline started in my head but i lack costumes and such... so until i finish collecting that stuff, it's just random silly photostories of them being just dolls rather than story characters. although i think i have the most fun with meryll... her photostories are usually wordless and revolve around cute silly things. meryll is the most flexible (as far as character goes) out of all my dolls so i have a lot of fun being silly with her, or using her to expiriment with things. she's not my favorite but she's definitely a key player hehehe

    5. Wow... Sorry, got lost in work. And thanks everyone who enjoys Kiri... I do so LOVE her freckles. And ... everything, really, though she does get bratty.

      I'll definately try to get more pics of her, come this weekend. I want to wait till my new SD boy comes in to get pictures of all three of my babies together, and I'll rememebr to post some here.

    13. I have one last question about lily. On the webpage it says she comes with acrylic eyes but everyone is saying she comes with some really funny cheap glass eyes (not that it matters that much, ebay has some cheap nice eyes i've noticed) but i'm just wondering if they've since switched to acrylic since it says so on the site

      "Included with:
      *Assembled Doll (head+body)
      *DD half round acrlic eyes: 18mm (Random Color)
      *Two blankets

      *LaiDoll Fur wig for DD mini dolls (on the picture) as gift.
      *LaiDoll carrier bag for DD mini dolls (Random Color) as gift .
      *LaiDoll summer simple Kimono (on the picture) as gift."

    14. it has always said they come with acrylic eyes, i think they're just really really cheap acrylic eyes. you definitely want to order some on your own n_n

    15. how is it you guys get your Lilys to hold such amazing poses? i can barely get mine to stand up! she's kicky and grabby and altogether a handful... do i need to restring her? does anyone know how these dolls are strung? the only doll i've ever restrung was a Souldoll Metel, and she was tiny, with little rubber bands for strings. :eek: i'm intimidated! help!

    16. There are some nice tutorials on restring dolls in general, and most are basically the same, but Lily is a little wonky cause she has those extra ball pieces that allow her to de so freaking poseable. (I have a DoD Yen, so I know a good poser when I see one.) and I think it's basically the same, though.

      And Kiri's always been a FABULOUS poser. She faults it in front of Mel, mostly. ...

      She pushes his buttons so much. Grrrrr...

    17. *raises hand to agree with alasandalack*

      My Lily can hardly stand anymore. It's sad because my CP Soony (which had kicky legs and wouldn't stand to save her life) when I first got her, stands fairly well now and Keiko doesn't do anything but sit. :(

      I actually do have string for Keiko but I'm nervous about re-stringing her by myself. I just did some minor faceup surgery on my Soony by painting her teeth white and it was nerve racking. I worry about trying to string Keiko but she desperately needs it. Seeing Meryll looking so adorable and posing like that makes me jealous. (^^);;

      The sad thing is that just about a month after I got Keiko (in late October) after not playing with her that much, she had started to wear down in the strings. Knowing Meryll arrived home before Keiko and is still posing like a dream makes me unhappy that the stringing job on Keiko wasn't done as nicely by Laidoll.

      Oh well, once I get the courage to tackle restringing her (which will be soon considering her state) I will be very happy with Keiko again.

    18. yeah Sadako has a funny left hip...that turns out...

      you will want to get your own eyes...the eyes could be worse...but the 18 looks creepy so go with 16...also the eyes are halves, and stems are so much easier to work with.

      Mendo, love your pics of merryll!!!
       
      #238 ReineDeLaSeine14, Feb 23, 2007
    19. actually i need to tighten meryll's stringing or something. she's to the point where her knees are really loose so she doesn't want to stand (the knees bent pose is actually something she just really likes holding pretty easily) and she tends to crumple like a little rag doll hehe

      and i second the advice for 16mm eyes, but i prefer the smaller look than 18mm eyes n_n meryll has 16mm eyeco eyes from ebay (they're actually 17mm, a little wider in the white part but the pupil and iris are the same size as 16mm eyes).

    20. your pics of meryl are so cute :) I just checked out your livejournal and website :) makes me really want to get a lily of my own. but I'm a bit concerned hearing so many horror stories about her not being very well made in terms of her stringing >.>; hmm...
