Elfdoll 14cm TinyDoll discussion Part 4

Thank you smudge! I hope you can keep your girl and that a new face up does the trick!

 

I took Etsuko to the spa today! She had so much fun! (and I got so clean and detoxified).

YAY! Bong is home! Elfdoll is so awesome! I completely regret doubting them. They even sent a FREE Lyn head! That's right. FREE! I'll take some pics soon

 

April - sorry to hear about your girls. It does suck being an adult sometimes.

aeryn - I think a bit further back in this thread someone did post a link showing the picconeemo bodies with the heads and they did seem to match,

I am also waiting for my Hiro. Not complaining too much that elfdoll hasn't come up with new dollies because I would probably want some and I can't afford any at this point.

 

Thanks calliope13 I'll scroll back. I hope your Hiro will arrive soon

 

Hi everyone,

It's been years since I've been around, but with summer here, I kinda got to relaxing and browsing, and wondered over to my favorate haunt at Elfdoll, and saw they had a few heads for sale (but no bodies) so I picked up 3 (bong, lyn and kai) then decided to try out some Azone bodies. I hope they work out.

I also got my dolls out of their case and am so sad to discover moths got in there and ruined any doll wigs made of mohair so now I have to replace a bunch of wigs. But for a while, I'll have to use what's on hand. Anyway, it's so nice to see some familiar faces here

 

Hey Ingie, so nice to see you, glad you are around, I missed you!
Sorry to hear the moths ate the mohair wigs, I hope you have some other wigs or can replace them!

I'm usually reading this thread but lately I am kind of lurking.

I have three elfdoll tinies now:

they say hi to everyone!

 

Hi Annina! I love your dolls, who is the one on the far left? She looks like an old German doll? Anyway, I fear I'm going to regret not picking up an Olivia.... hummm, I just don't have the $ LOL. Maybe I should write and ask how much extra shipping if I added her. I think they charge WAY more than could ever be accounted for! Each head definitely ways less than an ounce, and they charge for 300 grams or 12 oz! Maybe they'll add it without charging more to the shipping and I can squeeze in the cost? LOL. As usual, I have no money and shouldn't be doing this, LOL.

Good luck with your orders, I hope it works out how you'd like it to! I've always found that Oka on the Q&A board is really helpful, I'm sure things can be arranged.

To those waiting for their dolls, I hope you will all get your orders soon!

Congrats William on your order arriving, nice to see you here and yay for Bong!

Oh and Teseya, your Etsuko is so sweet in that photo, what a great idea to bring her to a spa day, I'm going to go check out that photo story!

 

Waving to IngieBee! It has been a very long time & it's good to see you again. I haven't been here in a long time either but my Elfdoll love has recently returned. Funny, my girls had been spending a long time in their boxes too. My Dracka is looking forward to making an appearance again soon too but she also needs a totally needs a new hair do too. Josslyn is happy that I have finally figured out how to post photos again.

Love seeing everyone's pictures!

 

Well, I didn't get a chance to as, as my heads have been shipped! I hope I can find the extra dreamingtree eyes i have for them, and enough wigs, or make some wigs for the girls 'cause I'm pretty much out of money, LOL. Help, I need to find another Lyn wig. My daughter has her eye on that cute bob that my Lyn came with, and I don't want to part with it! Anyone know who sells them? Thanks!

Jonlyn, it's really awesome to see most people are still on the boards. Like coming home. I haddn't even been lurking because I knew if I did, I'd start buying again, and of course I did, LOL. But we have to have something in our lives to brighten them up, and for me it's dolls. Always has been. Your doll is gorgeous and that cat is literally to die for! Where did you get it? I LOVE IT!!!

 

Josslyns cat is from Eves Studio Project. Sorry you couldn't add the other head to your order. Shipping costs, especially international, have really gotten to be outrageous. There are some great wig makers on etsy...that's where I got the one Josslyn is wearing . I will go back in my account & see if I can find the name of the maker.

 

Oh, that's ok, I just want to find the same wig that my lyn came with, it's in their picture here It's just a cute little bob, but my daughter loves it and I don't want to give her mine, LOL

When I have more money, I'll get wigs from tinybear. She made all the ones I had before (I think I threw 6 wigs away!) You can see that adds up to a pretty penny I need to go buy moth balls and keep them in that box with the dolls! I do love Tinybear's wigs, so I'll most likely order from here some day, in the future... as I can, LOL. In the meantime, I might just do the glue on fibers that they originally were designed to have. You know, how Rainman glued wig fibers into the grooves of their wig caps? I always wanted to try that

Does elfdoll still just slow down, and sell off their stock, but eventually come back with lots of options? I hope I might still get a Dodo, they're so adorable!

 

Hey, Ingie! You might want to try at Facets: http://www.facetsbymarcia.com/wigshop3.htm Their James wig in this size looks like it might be similar to what you're looking for.

Elfdoll does what Elfdoll does...sometimes there's not a lot of visible logic to their actions. This is the first big tiny selloff I've seen in my nearly 10 years, so not sure if that indicates new product or not.

 

Hello Everybody
Well, I finally got around to following up on (and photographing) an Elfdoll Tiny Head on a Picco Neemo body:


Elfdoll Tiny & Picco Neemo (Comp-4) by Mandasmac, on Flickr

{Click on the link to go to my Flickr stream and read a more detailed description} Unfortunately, It's not as simple as cyberspacegirl suggested: The neck post that comes with the PN body isn't long enough to go through the head and down into the neck hole. I am going to further cannibalize the spare parts kit for a longer post.

About color matching: PN "White" matches Elfdoll's standard female skin tone very well, actually. If Adel's head and body seem too yellow, it's because she's several years old, and I am not hesitant about putting my dolls in the sun for a photo-opp [LoL]! Hiro's "Homme" skin is darker, but still a very pinkish color, so I have a PN "Normal" body on order to see if it's a decent color match.

 

Thanks Aninna! I'll take some pics of her soon with my new Jin

 

Yah, that's so true about Elfdoll! They've said before, they're artists and that's where their priorities are Like Rainman said, he just doesn't enjoy sculpting boys, hence the lack thereof, LOL. I guess if you love Elfdoll, you have to just take them as they are

Ah shoot, I wish I had seen this Sunday 'cause I bought the flesh color for the heads that are coming, which are the plain flesh/normal. Ah well, since I'll be doing the faceups, maybe I can get them to match? Thanks for posting the informaton, it's invaluable! I did get an extra body for my winky, which came with two heads back in the day

 

You should be able to blush the heads to match the bodies. Since they are so small blushing is quite easy unless you don't use sealant ( like me )
I really should just bite the bullet and buy some MSC but it's so highly toxic that I never bring myself to getting it. But it would make my faceups look so much better.

 

Aw, are you sensitive? If you don't have unusual sensitivity issues, using latex gloves with a disposible mask and spraying outside should be very safe. I found a box of thin disposable latix gloves at the Home depot. Easy to work in and when finished you just peel them off like a doctor does. You don't even have to touch the exposed part of the glove.

But I know some people can't be exposed to certain chemicals, so don't let me lead you astray!

I wrote to Hobby Search where I ordered the doll bodies and hands (got the hands too) and I'd have to pay a 10% restocking fee to change the body color as they already put in their order to the supplier I guess?? So yah, I'll try to blush the heads to match. I don't have much money, and I need to order wigs, LOL. Gotta find the cheapest place or make them. I'm a little weary of paying $25 for nice mohair and ruining the wigs, LOL. decisions decisions. Ugh! LOL

Well, I found and replaced most of the wigs for my dolls at Kemper. They're not great wigs, but I hope they'll last until I can afford nicer ones. My poor boys won't get new wigs though They're just going bald, LOL. I guess this way the girls will have an alternet look when they get replacements for what they had.

Also my daughter, who is now 13 years old, used to play with my dolls a lot, a WHOLE LOT and they're pretty dirty and rubbed, LOL. Eventually, I will have to redo all their faceups. Hope I can still do that! I hate shopping for cheap wigs, or even choosing wigs in the first place! I was all settled on how the girls all looked, now they're goint to change again, especially with faceups n such. What a butt! LOL. Finally going to go to bed, good night y'all!

 

Thanks, IngieBee! I'm not really sure if I'd be sensitive to it since I've never owned any but I might as well buy it and be extra careful to wear a ventilation mask. But as long as your protected it's definitely worth it. The face up I did on my Bong and Lyn head are ok but they look too shiny and the colors smudge so I will have to redo it again. Hopefully some sort of Matte sealant will help these problems.
