Elysium Doll discussion

he'll be faceup-less when i get him but ill take some pictures
i wonder how long it will take them to ship out

 

EMS usually takes 3-4 days...but I dont know what they used.... ^^;

 

>< They send EMS to most people. They sent me my head the day after I placed the order, so they were quite snappy with the mailout for me.

I don't mind emailing and asking. *nods* I didn't really intend to ask them about the neck three times. I emailed once with all my questions listed, they answered 3 of my questions. I emailed again with the remaining three questions, they answered 2 of them... and of course, the only question they didn't answer all three times was wether the neck was modified, or if they could take pictures of it. They take a long time to answer, but they do get around to it eventually.

 

Eidolon: Did they use registered mail for you? Well that makes sense if you're in Alaska. They dont want to lose it along on the way.

This is what registered mail does (copied from the official usps site XD):

"Items you send with Registered Mail are placed under tight security from the point of mailing to the point of delivery, and insured up to $25,000 against loss or damage. And you can verify the date and time of delivery and the delivery attempts online."

I dont know how long it'll take..but I saw somewhere that it can take 1-2 weeks, but I could be wrong...

Well for the neck modifications, since you've ordered it, I guess you can only wait now. Please show us some pictures too. ^^

 

Yep. You probably missed it in my initial post, but I did say they were not sending my head via EMS to me, but they are indeed sending the head via registered mail.

I've received lots of packages from other countries, many via EMS and at least as many via Registered Mail. I'm not mad at Elysium for lying to me, but I am a bit annoyed. I think that it probably costs a bit more to send something via EMS to me, so rather than say, "We need more money," they just send it to me using the cheaper method and inform me about the change in shipping.

I had an inkling they'd do that to me, since they'd done it to me when I ordered my Hugo-SN. I actually thought my Hugo-SN was lost in the mail, it took so long to arrive. It took about 3-4 weeks to arrive, that time. It's funny, if it's something I couldn't care less about, it'll always arrive quickly via registered mail. If it's something I want badly? Slow as snails. ><;

I plan on spamming pics. *nods gravely* Of course, I promised as much when my Hugo-SN arrived, and never did.

 

hooray, hugo has been shipped today
i hope he gets here in time for the sunday meet up we are having but he probably wont get here until monday or tuesday.

 

I second Damask!!!! You cant get away now!!! we'll be waitinf for pictures, pictures, pictures~

 

I picked up my Elysium box from the post office this morning! Earlier reports of poor packaging seem to no longer be true. The head was well-wadded in Bubble Wrap inside a cube "Elysium" box, and just that was tumbling around in the larger shipping box - but there are no fears of damage! He's in my car right now, I had to get him on the way to work.

 

OOooh, an Elysium box. Fancy. Congratulations.

 

Ha, not *that* fancy. It's a cardboard cube box with "Elysium" stamped on it, rather crooked.

 

CONGRATS!!!!!

now - PICTURES, please~!!!!!

 

As soon as I get home from work!

 

yay!!! *waits until then*

 

Okay! Here we go!






(Either Jia lost a paint-brush hair or Hugo eats cats!)







Is it just me, or does a blank Hugo head look a bit like Conan O'Brien?

Anyway, there are photos of necks and caps and so forth for those of you adapting him to anything other than the Luts cloth body!

 

Oh, that texture on his face seems to be spray, by the way. The underside of his chin and the backs of his head and ears are totally smooth.

 

Awesome, thank you for those.

The neck hole remains cavernous, it seems. That's good for me, because I want to put him on a Dollzone 70cm.

They've changed the Elysium brand, as well. The Elysium brand on my -SN is smaller and more difficult to read.

I know my Hugo-SN head had that same tooth to it when it arrived, except it was uneven, and a few times even smooth where it was raised. It gave my head a mysterious sheen where there shouldn't be one, and it was only on the front of the face. After removing Jia's old faceup with Acetone, it remained. I wound up sanding it all away with a fine sandpaper. I wonder if your strange texture is the same thing? Just the product of an unfinished head?

I'm starting to be really happy I bought one. *laugh*

 

I'm wondering if the texture is different too by looking at the pics. I was hoping that the resin colour would be similiar to the hugo sn batchs. My hugos are EXTREMLY smooth XD

-->thank you PN for the pics

I am hoping to order another hugo head...instead of getting a body for my other sn's, Elysium had to put up a sale so soon;;

 

my old hugo-sn head is smooth too. i will see when my regular hugo arrives if he is textured too. if not ill just sand him
