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 Mini LovelyDolls Discussion part 3

Jul 23, 2015

    1. I have a pic on my computer of a "sullen" face plate that makes 5 faceplates so far :). My yumi/dami is realskin from the september 2012 release. Homme skin and real skin are not the same color.
       
    2. @aeryn - hahaha! I can't imagine her looking more sullen than usual. it's one reason I like her. that little pout.
      The Elfdoll men I have ( Mir & Christian Bale sculpt) were homme and although they're pretty old, they do match my Twiggy
      Yumi pretty well. I like the color for her.
      so five faceplates to look out for next year. :chomp:
       
    3. Oh wow...now I'm really confused. Haha. I have to really lay them out and look at them when the last doll arrives. The first order arrived and I believe it was the twiggy release, but it has both open eye and half open eyes with freckles. Neither are smiling, but the skin is referred to as real skin so I think is that was meant to be the homme skin? This new head has the half open eyes and is referred to as normal skin, but it's very pale. And the last doll has open eyes and is not smiling. Anyway...I think the sculpt is pretty and I definitely don't have any smiling version. Maybe people can spam some pics of their dolls to help.

    4. Save to say...I'm officially more confused. The mystery of the Dami/Yumi sculpt. I'm beginning to see why it is mislabeled. So we are up to potentially five different faceplates now?
       
    5. hi all....just popping in....I used to have a Dami.....and Yumi, had them twice actually and I am currently mourning not having them and looking to see if I can add her back into my collection. I am so sad though I thought elfdoll was supposed to be re-releasing or releasing new molds, but it looks like the site is still down and no indictation of it coming back yet?
       
    6. @Meggethann could you possible have Amy? She looks very similar. The main difference is that Amy has an eyelid crease, and Dami/Yumi does not.

      Glad you mentioned the sullen faceplate @aeryn . It's one of my favorites. She looks so cranky!

      @jenniekay sad but true, the Elfdoll site never came back, and I don't know if it will. :(

      Rainman sends out an occasional newsletter to his figure art customers. Apparently his father passed away this year, plus he broke his collarbone in a motorcycle accident and was unable to work for a while. This was all for 2016 though, and doesn't explain where Elfdoll-the-company has been the last two (three?) years. He and DK are still working together, which is something I'd wondered about.
       
    7. I am pretty positive I don't own Amy, but I posted a compilation pic from the seller photos since I don't have my last girl home yet and I'm waiting to do a proper photo shoot till I have everyone. I never know how to get my photos to load on here so here is my Flickr: https://flickr.com/photos/143296769@N04/sets/72157673553456633
      You guys tell me which ones I have. Haha.

    9. OK....someone might have to pinch me......I have just paid for Twiggy Yumi with two faceplates, original owner......I'm dying!

      Does anyone know with the twiggy skin tone, if there is a good hybrid match so I could give the second faceplate a body?
       
      • x 1
    10. Welcome to the elfdoll family! Seems like we are looking for bodies. Is the twiggy skin tone considered the real skin or the special homme skin mentioned a couple posts up? If it is real skin I am also still looking for a good match too. I have heard fairyland minifee bodies might work. I'm thinking about getting one as an option for one of my girls.

      Just FYI for doing your hybrid-you will need to find a headback if you have two faceplates and not two heads. I fell into that when I bought my first elfdoll. Makes hybriding a bit trickier. But people have done it.
       
    11. So I went way back and found @nancy_schroeder_ca post with a bunch of link's to the old websites with the faceplates. Thought I would repost because it was really helpful for me!


      ::: ELFDOLL INC. :::


      ::: ELFDOLL INC. :::


      So those are the faceplates I could find from her posts.

      Was the twiggy version, the one that came with freckles on its default faceup? And that was Dami correct?

      I feel like I want an elfdoll army now. I wish he was still making dolls. I find his bodies to be some of my favorites actually. I really hope I can hunt down some more.
       
    12. Here are the sullen and smile plates ::: ELFDOLL INC. :::

      Rainman used to have an archive of the doll with the original add for Twiggy ad but the link is not working now.

    13. Thank you for posting that! Omg I wish they still existed! $15 for a headback. Can you imagine!?! Here I am spending hundreds of dollars hunting this stuff down. Sigh. The things we do in this hobby.

      The sullen and smiling faceplates are so cute. I didn't even know about some of the other sculpts like Anthony or Pink. Does anyone own those?
       
    14. Congratulations @jenniekay !

      It's great seeing those old web pages again.. but sad, too. And no wonder we're confused about Dami and Yumi, I see even Elfdoll labeled them both Yumi on that one page.

      Twiggy had freckles, yes! I can't remember if she's real skin or homme skin. Homme is a tough one to match. The closest thing I've seen is Impldoll old (non-UV) real skin. I'm not sure if they have a suitable 1:4 body.

      @Meggethann I have Anthony! I love him. He always looks like he has anger management issues. :)
       
      • x 1
    15. Oh please spam some pics of Anthony! I would love to see him!

      Ok so what I have determined then is I have in my collection the Twiggy Dami with open eyes and half open eyes faceplates in real skin since they have default freckled faceplates. Then I have a Yumi with half open eyes. I was told normal skin, but this is pretty darn close to white...so I'm going with Yumi on this one. Haha. In the end, they are the same sculpt so it's all good. And the one on layaway to me is what I think a regular Dami open eye faceplate. I am told this is in real skin. I will have to compare it to the twiggy ones and their resin and the other head do see where it fits. Maybe that one is actually normal resin. From what I can see in pictures, it is not the twiggy version, but it might have been and just not have the default faceup anymore.

      What was the homme skin even about? Was it like a real skin? Or a tan or something?
       
    16. Homme was the color they originally used just for their SD boys (hence the name). It's a pale pinkish tan, similar to real skin but pinker.

      Twiggy used to be the only Lovely done in a color other than normal or white, but I think toward the end, when Elfdoll was having the annual head sale, heads were showing up in different colors. At least that was my impression.
       
    17. hmmm......ok the seller I just bought my girl from said she was a Twiggy Dami/Yumi but I asked if she had freckles and she said she didn.t.....so now I'm wondering if she was the second release in the real skin? If I showed you guys a pic from the seller would anyone be able to tell? I can only tell she's not white skin....and she is coming with a wig and eyes (not sure if that came with her when she was sent from Elfdoll)
       
    18. Please show a pic and let's take a look. I'm curious. Because I think my doll on layaway right now is a twiggy right now without freckles so I'd be interested to compare it to your picture and see.

      Did your seller say your doll is coming with her default faceup?
       
    19. Oh wow...well then maybe I don't have Twiggy at all. This gets more and more confusing I swear. Now I have no clue what the twiggy one looks like. Cause that looks like exactly like the first elfdoll and two faceplates I bought. Freckles and all. Even the eyes match.

      So does anyone have a picture of twiggy?
