Elfdoll Mini LovelyDolls Discussion part 3

Hi @Meggethann - thanks for all the info - very helpful! The mermaid body could have been so good - it's a great concept, but in my opinion was poorly executed.... which is such a shame.

My friend is going to take a photo of the Unoa neck for me so I can see what it's like I've also decided I need TWO bodies (my bank!! arrgh...) as I they will be twins - they both have such different personalities.

@petiteballerine - I agree - she would look super cute on a Unoa body. I want something a bit teen/child like which is why I was leaning towards Peakswoods originally....

She really is the cutest sculpt - I'm so glad I have her!

 

Very cool! I have seen a lot of people do that and that has always been my plan if I ever get my hands on those sculpts. Keep us posted!

 

That's an interesting idea! I have a floating Elfdoll head and may need to try it on my ballerina body.

 

a ballerina Yumi! that would be so cute.

 

Please let us know if you get this and if it works out, I would love to know.

Especially because....GUYS!!! I found a yumi and dami in the MP! Yay! When the sale originally went up the seller didn't want to do layaway so I had no chance, but she relisted it yesterday and said she would consider it. We were able to work out a deal! Ahhh! So happy! Put my first layaway payment in with the seller last night. I'm so unbelievably excited. I can have my twins now too! So @valee.anne keep me posted with what you come up with for a second body too because the one I'm buying only has the one body as well. So I will be on the hunt for a body too. I have a ways to go to pay them off, but I really am so happy. I've been looking for a long time. Dami and Yumi are just the most precious sculpts. I kinda can't believe they are really going to be mine!

 

What size clothes typically fit the elfdoll body? Regular MSD? Are minifee clothes too small?

I officially paid off my layaway. My dolls ship out tomorrow! I will only have the one elfdoll body and will be searching for another body for the second head. This is the first time I will have a floating head. Haha. I heard once you start, the heads just start piling up. I'm really hoping that doesn't happen. Still not sure what body I'll choose, but I definitely will want to make it happen soon so I don't start a floating head problem. This will also be the first time I have dolls arriving without clothes so that is why I'm asking about what would fit.

I'm so excited! Can't wait for them to get home!

 

Thanks for posting! I was trying to remember who I was supposed to try on the Dollmore body!

 

@Meggethann - slim MSD size fit best, like Unoa or Serendipity. the odd Tonner kimono or loose coat might work too. I just saw a Hardy Boys coat on an IH FID woman. perfect.
so go through your stash of small doll clothes.
congrats on your girl(s.)

 

Great! Thank you!

 

So my dolls arrived! But...I didn't realize I was getting two faceplates and a body. Haha. I should pay better attention. Now I am not disappointed at all because I have both Dami and Yumi original faceplates in all their glory and I'm obsessed with them. However my grand plan for twins has become quite a bit more difficult. Cause now I don't just need a body, I need to find a head back which seems almost impossible without buying another faceplate. Does anyone know if these faceplates fit on other dolls that have faceplate mechanisms like bimong? I looked at unoa and that doesn't seem to have the same faceplate situation at all, but bimong might just from outer appearances. Or do you all think I'm better off searching for another elfdoll? I kind of feel like it might make more sense at this point to do that and sell the extra faceplate.

But in happy news...my dami and yumi faceplates and one elfdoll body are here and they are beautiful and mint condition and I seriously am in love! I will try to take pictures soon. I'm so busy at work right now that I've barely had time to even look at them, but the lady that sent them included a bunch of extras which was so super sweet. She even included an outfit with shoes!!! so she isn't sitting around naked! So nice! Some people in this hobby are just so incredibly wonderful! I hope she knows how incredibly loved they already are!!

Hope everyone else is doing well with their elfdoll projects!

 

I join with congratulations to those arrived Lovely dolls !

@Emma G. - what a charming picture.

 

Thank you.
I'm sorry that I don't have enough time for my doll.

 

So this might be the silliest question, but I keep seeing people post differently on other boards and now I'm confused as to which is which. Can someone clarify which sculpt is Dami and which is Yumi? I know they are basically considered twin sculpts a lot and I think that is why a lot of people end up mislabeling them or confusing the two on posts, but I was hoping someone could clarify it on here for me.

I now have what I believe is a Yumi bjd head (faceplate and headback) in normal skin that arrived today. It was sold to me as Dami, but pretty sure it is the Yumi sculpt. I was looking for real skin, but I decided since I was really in need of a headback for my previous purchase of my realskin Dami/Yumi faceplates and elfdoll that I could have the headback blushed and then sell this faceplate. However right after I bought this head, I ended up having another seller contact me with another full elfdoll in realskin with the Dami head. So I ended up purchasing her on layaway as well. My new plan is to take my Dami faceplate that I already own and put it on that doll when it arrives and sell that doll's faceplate as that doll does not have an original faceup. I may keep it for trying out faceups of my own. Haven't decided yet. We shall see. So this new head in normal skin that arrived today, which was purchased before the new elfdoll showed up for sale, has a really pretty faceup and I think it is a default faceup. The realskin faceups had freckles which I think are so cute. However I always really liked the Yumi sculpts that didn't have freckles as well. So now I have this particular head in normal skin without freckles and she needs a body. Haha...so I'm debating what body I should get her and if I'm doing twins and a little sister as a family or triplets or what. I just know that this head is beautiful and she is getting a body.

Does anyone know what elfdoll normal skin matches? I had heard that elfdoll matched fairyland, but I don't remember which resin they were referring to or if it was just that the body worked for the head. She is actually pretty close to spiritdoll normal, but I think the body proportions would be odd and I haven't had a chance to even see if the doll's head would be compatible. Or does anyone have any other suggestions for a good match?

 

Yumi and Dami are the same sculpt. Dami was NS and Yumi was WS. Yumi Twiggy was in Homme skin.I believe their were four face plates, open eye, half open, sleeping, and smiling.

 

@nancy_schroeder_ca - I didn't know that - about four face plates. I have seen the sleeping and smiling faces but thought the smiling one was a different sculpt.
how cool. I always thought Yumi was an Asian girl hence the eyes. She's my favorite. And I thought Dami was the open eyed face. Duh. Thanks for clearing that up.
Were the sleeping face and smiling made in Homme skin?
