Elfdoll 14cm TinyDoll discussion Part 4

Monkey your Hiro looks absolutely ADORABLE!! I just so squeed. I love the little sweater and the mohair wig is perfect for her. I realy need to get my poor boy hooved like I keep meaning to. He is one of the few Hiro boys in the community and he needs to be complete. He is a fawn.

 

Pardon me but um...Can I ask some questions please about Elfdoll? I'm not sure about them but I really love their sculpts and one of them would be perfect for a character I've created size wise and such but looks...Well I'm still indecisive..I love 'em all and even if I didn't make one into an OC I'd love to get one one day. One of my questions is...Is Elfdoll ordering period only?

 

Arashi: I THINK they are now, yes, but I'm not really sure at ALL on that.

 

Arashi Uchiha: According to Elfdoll's own postings, They have done away with ordering periods, and everything should be available at any time, but I've noticed that some things, like wigs, clothes and option parts, still go out of stock from time-to-time.
…Also: Many people have been complaining that Elfdoll's waiting period has gotten too long. Maybe you should look in the MP for your new friend? A purchase from a seller in the 'States or even Europe might arrive sooner than a direct purchase from Elfdoll – and shipping might be less, too!

WinterMonkey: Thanks for your continued assistance

"Dreadful Spiller" Wig Update: I think I've just about run out of patience with the idea of sewing eyelash yarn to a crocheted wig cap in order to make a wig I will force myself to finish the one I am currently working on, and then try a "hard cap" wig with Mohair wefting.

…Fingers Crossed…

 

Ah thank you. ^^ I'm unfortunately broke at the moment but I would love to own one, one day. I wonder if it would be possible to get one in tan....Do they make them in tan? XD; I got a specific character in mind who's a forest elf. Having a pocket version of her would be fun.

 

Thank you Teseya. Actually that's a realpuki wig that's a tad big for her, the elfdoll wigs that I bought for her are too small. And the sweater is from Azone International, it's for an off topic doll.

Where are you going to get hooves so tiny? Are you making the hooves?

Hi GoodbyeKitty173, you are welcome. I posted the question on 26th June, but the Elfdoll Administrator answered questions from other people and ignored what I posted. So I just posted in their Q&A again.

 

Monkey- Oh, the hooves are made by DaisyDayes. she made both Puki and Elfdoll sizes a few years ago. I have 4 sets, two are currently in baggies and two are claimed by Mio and Ilya(my wishel). I need to blush/dye the set i got with Etsuko so it'll match Hiro's skintone...either that or sand down the puki set that already match...oh, and make tiny horns for him.
as for a wig for your Hiro girl, you could ask elfdoll if you could purchase an extra headcap and make a glued on wig like I did with Lynn ad like Dodo and the original Monaemi sisters.

 

Oh... Now I can't wait to see your Hiro with hooves. As for the wig, I am now happy with the big wig.

 

Oh gosh, now I'm thinking about putting Hiro on a puki body with daisydayes hooves... I've wanted a little faun for a while but I didn't like any of the puki\realpuki heads other than my Roro... But Hiro has the droopy ears and everything, that would be adorable!

 

Sigh... my questions in Elfdoll's Q&A board is being ignored again. All the other questions before and after mine are answered, but mine was ignored... And I thought they have very good customer service when my real skin Yumi had problem.

 

swivel- You don't neccecarilly have to put him on a different body, DaisyDayes did make elfdoll hooves too, I'm even considering sanding down a pair of puki hoovesI have in matching resin.I just don't know what kind of sandpaper etc to use and how I would sand that much off. Or I need to dye the white elfdoll hooves I got with Etsuko so they are his skintone...andI had experienced help when I did that for Mio's hooves...so I've put it off as i'm at a bit of a loss as to where to start and with what. The only thing I'm sure I can do is make tiny magnet horns for him.
but yes, those ears just beg to be made into a fawn...as has been my intention for him since I got him when he first came out. I am now so behind. I'm just innexperienced with any modding.

 

GoodbyeKitty173, I have finally gotten a reply from Elfdoll. Here you go.

Dear WinterMonkey,

Sorry for the late response.
DK's sick and had surgery so takes long to be be answer.

The new tiny dolls which are only CATSY and HIRO have magnetic hands.
And the others are modifing the original form now.
after that we are planning to sell apart.

You can buy hiro's hand part separately. if you want, i can send them together with sneakers parts which i sent wrong.


Thanks,
elfdoll_SY

I am love little Etsuko so much! Her style is so much different from my others. She's such a little Seoul Girl Hehe. I found the LaDeDa shoes fit her so well and the little armwarmers work perfectly as socks. I even got her really short wig into pigtails. ^_^
Here she is!

 

So cute! Really love her outfit

 

WinterMonkey: Woo-Hoo looks like a G.O. to me!!! I'll PM you for details…

Teseya: Yeah, The quality of the outfits is a bit wanting, but La-Di-Dah accessories have many uses among tinies!

Some General Knowledge: I tried PukiPuki and RealPuki hands & feet on my Hiro: The magnets are the wrong polarity to stick to an Elfdoll properly. The hands & feet are also at a weird proportion compared to Elfdoll Tinies, because ED's look like skinny children, and the Puki family look like chubby toddlers.

Actually: I have a pair of RealPuki "Leaf Shoes" a friend sent me, and the proportion isn't that bad – but then you've got that magnet problem again

 

on the right

 

I am quite confused about elfdoll ordering process for Hiro. I don't want the sleeping plate yet I am thinking to get the faceup. All I see for the option is the extra face plate or the extra face plate and the face up for both (I think) or no make up at all.

On the side note does anyone know what bodies the Hiro heads can fit on besides Elfdoll's. i want to make a brother and sister pair so i may just end up getting the heads custom face upped.

 

Fush: I can't help you with the ordering process, because When I ordered my Hiro I just wanted the body and planned to sell the head(s) to make-up some of the cost.

As for what bodies go with the head: The main things to watch for are the width (circumference) of the neck on the new body and how it works with the neck-hole in Hiro's head. The hole may need to be widened, or the neck-piece reshaped.
Also: The new body's method of attachment to keep the head on. For example: Fashion dolls have a solid neck-knob, and you would have to just shove Hiro's head onto the new body, or close the head around it. Some Asian fashion dolls (like Obitsu) have neck-knobs that break down into pieces for easier attachment. The main thing to look for with BJD bodies is weather the neck hook will fit inside the new head, or is so small as to slip through the hole.

Earlier in this thread we talked about the possible compatibility of the new Azone/Picco Neemo 1/12 bodies. You may want to review that, as well.

Good Luck!!

Thanks for reading all of that boring text. Here's an older shot of Dreadful Spiller relaxing in the shade:

GoodbyeKitty173, A very handsome young man! And I don't know who he is?

 

For the tinies, I believe Elfdoll always does the faceup on the open eye head.
