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.

Elysium Doll discussion

Mar 23, 2007

    1. aw :(

      well then, I guess I'll just wait :D
       
    2. Here is my Axel head on an SD16 body. The fit is just about perfect. Color, proportions...it's...like buttah. :love

      Edward: :barf

      If you'd like to see some naked ones--to get a better sense of the body-head relationship--

      Edward: :nowords:

      --let me know.

      There's a handful of other photos over at my LJ, if you are interested.
       
    3. Yes, please. XD My computer is being irritating and won't let me into livejournal. I'll try to make a comment when it does. ^_^

      ...is that a rifle stock I see? Such moodyness. I have a soft spot for down turned lips, and that is such a natural, masculine face up for him. It does not emphasize the odd Yukinojo-esque bottom lip or make him look like he's wearing too much make up.

      I nearly mistook him for Hugo-S in his profile shot!:D He's gorgeous.
       
    4. Green Judy: Oh I went to your LJ and wow, love his clothes and props *_________* the sd16 body fits very well and you've also convinced me to get an Axel. XD How did you get his head? O_o

      How does he look standing/interacting with other dolls? Does he look in scale or does he look a bit big/small?
       
    5. Thanks, you guys. I am truly smitten.

      Damask: Why, yes, that is a rifle stock. ^ ^ You have good eyes.

      aquarius85: I got the whole Axel doll and St.James, bless her heart, ended up with the body. I kept the head and put it on an SD16 body. Despite some, er, posing idiosyncracies (Oh, idrisfynn, if you are reading this, that weird ball we found actually belongs inside Ed's back. :nowords: ), I am very, very happy with the results of the graft.

      For aquarius85, who wanted to know how he looked with other dolls, Here are some pictures of Edward with his old boss, Eric Tseng. Tseng is on an SD13 long-legged boy body.

      Oh lord...belly shot...let's just imagine Ed has been, um, running, and is disheveled from, um, running and stuff.

      [​IMG]

      I personally think the two look just fine next to one another.

      [​IMG]

      The two...


      [​IMG]

      Up close. Tseng ran the show; Edward Fell was the project executor.

      And for Damask, the nekkids. I didn't try to get really aesthetic photos going here--St.James has recently blown the doors off the SD16; I refer you to her work.

      I will be posting a photoshoot of the undraped Edward in the Gallery in the next day or so. Here is a preview:

    6. Those are perfect. Thank you. Artistic is lovely but this was exactly what I was looking for. ^_^ The porportions really are nice. I think it's the wide shoulders for me. If only more male dolls had wide shoulders.
       
    7. Does anyone know if Lud would work on a soom boy body? (NS)

      And are there any other companies who distribute Elysium dolls/heads?
       
    8. Got the preview pics back from my faceup artist (arsenic) of my MN mod. She did a great job, I wanted something more dramatic then what most of my dolls have. His modded eyes had no eyelids, so Arsenic painted them on for me. I'm in awe, she must have such a steady hands!

      The gloss hasn't been applied yet, but I thoaght i'd show him off here and bump this thread at the same time.

    9. XD After slapping myself for making sad faces over the fact that my favorite aspect of my dream mould has been modded I really like the thick black lines used to recreate the eyefolds. It reminds me of manga art and the delicately vibrant colors are surprisingly pretty against that skintone.

      What body are you going to be put him on?
       
    10. Damask, what is your favorite aspect? I'm not responsible to for modding him, it's not my fault xD!! I think i'm his fourth owner now, and he came to me that way, so as you can imagine he had seen better days by the time he reached me. I'm trying to give him a new lease of life.

      I'm not sure when it comes to a body for him, i'm thinking a dollstown 15 when they come out in NS or an SD13 long leg. The only thing is, he dosen't match my yukinojo head, so I don't know how well they will match.

      Goodluck in finding your MN!
       
    11. Oh, I know you didn't mod it. ^_^ I saw that particular head on sale a few months back. Simply because it used to be a Hugo-M I nearly bought it too. ;_; But I love his partly closed eyes and that was opened.

      If all of my favorite moulds had partly closed eyes I would buy that version instead of the open eyed ones. All the second hand Hugo-M's I've seen on sale have had their eyes opened in some way. *cries*

      Oh! I just realized he had teeth modded on to him. That's so freaking cute! XD I can't stop staring at the shy look the eyebrows and that teeth mod has given him.

      *nods* I was thinking of the Dollstown 15 boy body too. I hope it matches Hugo head. That's a shame that it doesn't match the Yukinojo body. I was vaguely hoping it would. Is it darker? Lighter?

      Thanks for the luck, I'll need it. I'm determined that if Elysium comes out with a re-release then I'll buy two, one in each skintone! XD
       
    12. Yeah, I never planned to get a Hugo but when I saw this one I just had to. It was meant to modded into a 'smile' although to me he just looked so worried a shy, hence the eyebrows I had done. His character is meant to suffer from stress. He'sperfect!

      Dollstown NS is meant to match Volks NS. Compaed to my yukinjo, he is a little lighter, even though it made to match Volks.But it's not too bad. I think it's just due to colour variation between the batches, Elysium is quite a small company so I think they probably do the casting in house.


       
    13. Hmmnm. Does anyone here have pictures of hugo-s and Hugo-m:ns that were faceupped by jia and the piccies were in the old elysium site? There were huge load of pictures with very manly faceups, but I cannot find them any more <<; Sorry if the question is in wrong thread, but I'd quess you guys would know best &#37;D
       
    14. It's been a while, but I did finally get around to trying some Hound sized clothing on my Elysium boy body. The iple house dress shirt fits pretty well, just a tiny bit tight in the shoulders but not enough to make the sleeves too short. Tensiya jeans fit great and are just the right length. :)
       
    15. Has anyone had an opportunity to try Hugo on an Angel of Dream Body? I love him on the Dollzone, but you can't beat the temptation of a $160 body.
       
    16. When I buy a Hugo head, I'll let you know. XD
       
    17. You know, it's a little weird that they're releasing single heads of previous sculpts.... they, oO I almost suspect, that the owners of Elysium are selling off their own dolls to raise money.

      Even so, I hope Damask notices the Hugo-MN for sale before he's gone....
       
    18. Hey, just for curiosity... does anyone own a Rozi? *_*? Because I have mine since last August and I haven't found any other.

      This is him ^^ I customized the head as a boy and the body on the picture is a DOT body ---> bad match, really.

      [​IMG]

      I want to buy a Dollzone 60cm body, 71cm ones are too big for me :S
       
    19. I actually haven't seen another Rozi on the board. It's possible you have the only one here! Though it's really nice to see some owner photos of some of Elysium's other molds. :)

      I'd love to see some of Wren, Axel, Zio, and Lud too. I've only seen a couple off of the site, and it's kind of a shame.
