One was from 2013 purchased by her original owner direct from FL. Another is a complete mystery as I got her from Yahoo Japan, but she had her box and her default faceups, so I am certain she is legit. My Hwayu came in March of this year with no hook as well. From what I am hearing it is completely random as to how these are being sent out. I just happened to end up 0/3.
JinCIncy Fantastic girl!!! Lovely!!!! TeaPartyRevolution Serious young men! In my opinion, they came up with something !!!!
Ah, no worries, I was actually thinking they may have been restrung by previous owners without the hook for some reason, nothing about the legitimacy, though I can see how it could be read that way. I'm really curious now, might check the rest of mine when I get home. Do you have any photos of how yours are strung?
I will try to get some later this weekend. I need a third hand! While we wait, here is a shot of my Hwayu:
@Tonboko oh I love her with red eyes. For a moment, I thought she was holding an apple. Great photography!
@Tonboko your little Hwaya is adorable! A new shot of my "Daisy" (Nanuri17 event head who I finally got painted). I adore her. Daisy among the Daisies by wizgerg3, on Flickr
I've really enjoyed scrolling through the recent pictures. I apparently wasn't getting the notifications about this thread like I usually do. @TeaPartyRevolution Your guys are so cool! @Tonboko I hope you figure out your restringing issue. I love your Hwayu! @JinCIncy I love Daisy's face-up. She definitely looks to be a part of nature!

LOL, I actually went to Lati first but didn't see a face that was similar in the Green line so HD31 was my next guess because she looked a bit like a CustomHouse and I know Luts has those molds. For a long time, Lati was one of the few companies that had Yo size dolls openly available, along with Leeke and CH. Luckily companies like Bambicrony, Rosenleid, and Fairyland began with a focus on the smaller end of the BJD scale so that those of us who loved this size had more choice.
@Tonboko aaah your Hwayu is gorgeous! Does anyone else have Hwayu pics? I'm considering getting her. I just crawled out from under a rock, haven't been in the doll world in years, and then one of the first things I spot is a cute little vampire elf? I'll share a pic of my old LTF Leah. I don't own her anymore, but she was a cutie. Sleepy-head by Maria K., on Flickr
Thanks ! Yes, I saw that one post, from Tonboko. I adore her ;A; I was wondering if anyone else got her as well Been watching unboxings and pics on IG all afternoon ahha, can't get enough x) Most of them are fullset, I'd love to see other faceups and clothes if possible! (but I take it she's fairly new, so maybe not a lot yet?)
Well, @Shaiyeh , here is her sleeping face. I normally would not care to get sleeping faces, but my DES came with one, so I needed to have Hwayu have one too so they can have naps and slumber parties. Spoiler: Image
Those eyes are absolutely gorgeous, can I ask where you got them? It's so hard finding good eyes. I'm up to two LittleFees now, I love them!
Her eyes are from BJDHopeEyes. I was super lucky and made it into the last preorder they did. And this photo! I just got the Cygne outfit in yesterday, and have plans to get another DES and mod her into a vampire version. This is gonna be her outfit. It is sooo hard not to stick it on someone else, but the last time I did something like that, the outfit was stolen by the doll trying it out. I will not have that happen! This outfit is meant for future dolly!
@BlueDragonfly What a great shot of those two! The setting is absolutely perfect and I love their rag doll I have a weirdly specific question about shoes - it's been years since I bought any for my girl and her favorite pair was recently misplaced during an outing so I'm looking to replace them. Does anyone know of a good place to find a pair of black t-strap shoes for these kiddos? I think I originally got mine from Deb's Adorables on ebay, but she doesn't seem to have them in stock at the moment and I could be misremembering. Any leads on another retailer that may have them?
