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.

Elfdoll 14cm TinyDoll discussion Part 4

Sep 26, 2011

    1. GoodbyeKitty173 just to be clear XD your boring text was quite informive so it wasnt boring lol. So the head can be removed as needed or is it perma on the body.

      nancy_schroeder_ca: thank you for telling me. I wish they had the option where you can request no face up.
       
    2. Master JuliaS: As for his character, Spiller is short for "Dreadful Spiller" from the children's book series The Borrowers by Mary Norton. Physically: "He" is a Kai head on a Hiro body. It's amazing how different a doll can look with no wig, but I am very picky about hair, and am still exploring options. Also: At the time of the pic we were still waiting for Elfdoll to release more Hiros, so his head was stuck on the more mature, female tiny body :doh

      ☞ WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE NEXT QUESTIONโ€ฆ

      Fush: YUP!! The heads are totally & completely removable, just like most other BJDs :)

    3. I'm quite taken with Sylf and Kai, but wanted to ask if the boots (No.2) are magnetic. I know they're listed as magnetic, but the bunny slippers (No.3) appear to be made to fit around normal feet.
       
    4. Optional feet are "what you see is what you get" - their solid little sneakers or high heels or the leaf shoe. Glad to see they went magnetic so swapping is easier for the newer dolls. I'll have to see how the new boots work - the old boots used to be like the old shoes but instead of swapping out feet, you swapped out the feet and the calves - such a pain!

      Just look up old pictures of Catsy to see the boot I'm talking about.

      Just went to the elfdoll website (been a long time) and the short boots of the "feet part set" just swap feet. The slippers fit over their existing feet as pictured in Hiro's picture - the monimoni sisters used to come with slippers way back in the day.
       
    5. Could anyone take a photo with their Hiro and an MSD? (Preferably a Minifee, but doesn't matter too much) Thank you so much!
      Hiro is such a cutie.
       
    6. Sure, here:

    7. I have an old photo of Feather (Hiro) next to my Unoa/Minifee hybrid with them both standing if that helps too?

    8. Thank you both! These are perfect. ^^
       
    9. Well, I'm still working on a 'permanent' wig for Raspberry. She finally chose what she wants for her wig, red lambskin. I HAVE what I need to make it for her...just have to finish picking apart a MUCH larger wig, then cut down the pieces to re-make it into a very small wig, to fit her instead. But while she waits, she DID get a new dress tonight. I might add some lace to the bottom to make it floor length on her. I've not decided yet. I'm also going to take off the plastic bow button thing at the neck, and replace it with a ribbon bow instead. Still, she seems to be pleased with it.

    10. Ayas-Shadow: Hooray for Kai(s) :D
      Is that dress a Kelly princess gown? Or maybe a tiny Disney princess doll? That's a great Idea for the lace edging, and I agree: that bow/button has to go! …On the other hand: Maybe save it to use in her hair when the wig is done?

      About the wig: you are definitely going to need some double-sided tape to hold it on when it's done!! Kai's head is so much tinier than the other Elfdolls that it's almost impossible to get even a custom made wig to stay on properly :doh

      Here's my post-op transexual Kai – now a guy, but still bald:

    11. Yay for pics! I can never stick with a wig since they make olivia so top heavy. I just cut a semi triangular shape out of a tiny bear wig and tacky glued it on top. Seems to do the trick and cover enough. I'd post a pick but I can't fit behind my computer desk right now lol. I'm on semi bedrest waiting for my twins to arrive next week! Olivia is keeping me company for the moment. Need more fall elfdolly spam please!
       
    12. Duh! I DID forget to say WHERE I got the dress, didn't I? It's from a little Disney doll, from the Disney Jr. show Sophia the First (my boys and I love the show, so the doll it came with will get loved by the boys instead of tossed, too!) The set this came in had the Sophia doll, and three little dresses.aspberry got this one, my Garden of Dolls Nabiyette got the other 'fancy' one. Not sure what I'll do with the way more simple one, yet.

      For her wig...I'm SERIOUSLY considering n just making a 'wig' for her, but also making her a new headcap that I can just glue some of the fur to. A local, and good friend, has an Elfdoll tiny of her own, who she got wit ha BOX of headcaps. Instead of wigs, she glues things directly to the extra caps. Want to change hair? Just switch out the cap! It is an idea that I LOVE.

      Your boy is darling! Kai really does make a good boy as well as a good girl!

      Congrats on the impending arrival of your little ones! I glad you have your dolly to keep you company while on bed rest! If I get the chance, I'll get more photos of my girl to spam. Not sure when, though...new job means nearly no 'me' time right now.
       
    13. actually the head cap thing is not a new idea. The Elfdoll tinies originally came with glued on wigs. Then they sold extra headcaps to make your own glued on wig as well as wigs also. They used to sell them separate...you could ask elfdoll if they have any they'd be willing to sell you yet. My Lynn has a glued on wig I made and my Dodo came with a glued on wig as well as an extra headcap. I keep a couple extras from before just in case I want to make a glued on wig.

      edit: That's also why all the headcaps have those ridges...so they can be part lines. There is a tutorial that Rainman made somewhere on how to make the glued on wigs.
       
    14. Thanks ayas-shadow! Would love to see what you come up with for wigs! Also the dress is very cute, some might be nice to shorten too... Wonder when I'll get to go to target again. I miss shopping :-(
       
    15. Hi tinyelf-owners :) I just came by discovering that realpuki crochet shoes and boots (by the Bead Loom Gallery, for instance) fit Tinyelf feet ! I tried with flat feets. I have 2 "old body" tinyelves, Olivia and Sylph.
      I love my dolls but it's quite hard to find clothes and shoes for them, especially if you don't want the typical elf-wear or cute-child dress (I'm not despising these styles but I'd like my girls to be more mature). Do you have some tips ?
       
    16. Lorelei- to be honest, the most mature clothes I've seen for them are the elfdoll shop clothes. The ones originally made for catsys that are on their site. The others are so tricky to find. Though I have heard that heidi ott clothes fit.
      I have seen those shoes, and they are really cool, I don't know which of my girls would wear them though...maybe Lynn.

      Btw everyone, I finally got the hooves on my Hiro! Now I just need to make the horns.

    17. Hello, everyone. I would like to buy a Hiro head from Elfdoll, and another whole tiny doll (BONGSUNHWA for [FONT=arial, helvetica, sans serif]example[/FONT]). Can they share the same body?


      My second question is the price for Hiro head and body is bit lower than the whole doll, Can I buy the body and head separately and then assemble them on my own? What else do I need then?

      Thank you very much!
       
    18. I don't think you can buy the tiny heads separately. And Hiro is Homme skin, so he is a bit darker than the other girls, so not really compatible (other than the 1st edition of Kai).
       
    19. Heidi Ott dollhouse shoes, which are miniature rubbery plastic pumps. They even come in tiny shoe boxes.
