Glorydoll Lucy/Louis & Karin/Karl discussion

I'm gonna jump in here since I've been pining for a Louis since I first saw him! XD
I'm so happy they take layaway, but I've heard that they're wait times are a little outstanding.

I probably just want to save up and buy him at once.
And what about those great outfits. Do they restock those, if anyone knows?

 

I've never seen them restock an outfit sorry. Those ones have sat there sold out for years.

 

thanks Logaeth, thats really helpful.

point apple your dolls faceups are wonderful. Do you have them on the glorydoll body?

I wonder if anyone would be prepared to do a posing critique on the glorydoll body with pics?

 

Yeah, I thought so. Thanks
Kawaii_Mon. I guess people
just buy them nude then huh?

I also wonder about the Glorydoll bodies.
I've heard that they aren't good posers
but I love their aesthetics and curves ^///^.

I don't really worry about the posing capability
sometimes so I myself wouldn't mind at all.

 

I just got Lucy on the no-joint-torso body and was really frustrated -- she wouldn't stand (knees buckled) and she wouldn't sit (fell back). . . wouldn't hold her arms . . . hot-glue sueding totally solved the problems, so I'm now good with the body, since she will hold basic poses and, as you said, the curves are quite attractive. However, I still have a couple of reservations -- I wish there was a smaller-bust version available for Lucy, who looks rather young; and the hands are awful.

Not only are they unattractively sculpted, the hands basically have no ball joint at all, just taper and jam right into the arm, attached with string, not S-hook. I don't think S-hooks would matter. So there is practically NO wrist/hand movement at all. I think I'd like to try subbing in other hands, was thinking Dollmore but Lucy's arms are thicker. I do have a couple of Dollmore Model girls tho and may just try it out to see how it looks. New hands would greatly improve the sculpt.

Bottom line, if I were ordering now, when GD is selling heads only as well as full dolls, I would order just the head, not the full doll.

 

Odette is is a lucy on the dollstown elf body. it is really a fabulous combination. ♥

 

Cat, asking something I'm sure you've answered before but is Odette healthy skin? And what DT skintone matches her? I'm actually thinking of ordering a Miyuki head and putting it on the GD body, then putting Lucy on the DT elf body as a younger sister. . .

 

To fix their posing issue, a restring is really needed with GD. I find they stand so much better after restringing and sueding. You also have to bend the torso forward to get the legs to kind of click in to place I have found. I have the old jointed torso though so I also lean them forward to help them sit when I'm too lazy to get them to click.

As for the hands, yeah they actually need a hole to put an s hook in, they don't move because the eye bumps against the inside of the arm so it can't move about. I've been meaning to modify my girls' hands for some time - I reshaped the finger positions but I haven't attacked the ball of the hand yet.

As for the right tone to match DT I think it's freshskin, but Cat would know better than me.

 

Lucy is starting to come together - with a minimal faceup for now, but we've found her look and I'm happy with her. Clothed, her body doesn't look nearly as voluptuous. She's going to get Dollmore Eve hands later (and a faceup, of course). When I get her head off for the faceup, I'll be better able to try out more eyes; I don't think these are her permanent ones. I really love the sculpt; it has so much character. I'm definitely ordering a Miyuki head this month. Oh . . . rumors that she has a small head are greatly exaggerated. She has a small face, but her head is huge and sort of egg-shaped. She couldn't wear any of my 8-9 wigs unless they stretched. Oh, she is healthy skin. . .

 

Ah, she's lovely Anita! Thanks for the response, too.

@kawaii-mon:

I think that's a good way to solve the problem!
Being so new to the hobby, I never modded before
and I wouldn't mind trying it to keep the doll a full one.

I never considered a Dollstown body, though I think
it's a good idea. Their proportions are similar aren't they?
And they're bodies would compliment the sculpts well.

Is that Milky skin or Healthy skin you have your Lucy in Anita?

 

Wow Anita, she is so pretty! Love the wig, and the coloring

As for the posing troubles, I'm not too bothered by my Louis' posing, but he definetly needs more work/patience than your average doll. But I didn't wire or suede him at all, and last summer I took him to the forest and had him stand on grass, sit in trees and do all sorts of poses. So, it's possible, but it takes patience. For me, it's worth it because I really like the Glorydoll's body sculpting, but if you like another body just as much, hybridizing may be the way to go!

Also, picture of Puppy:



He looks a bit creepy here! But it was for a shoot with the theme 'God of Death' so it suits xD He has a(fairly)new wig, and new eyes, too. I ordered them for a different doll, but they were waaay too big for her, so Pup stole them.

 

Ah Raouken I've always loved your Louis and typically stalk your page just to
look at him ^////^. So thank you very much for posting this pic! I really want to cuddle
him every time I see him, and your avatar of him always makes me go 'awww'.

I'm so glad there is hope for the GD bodies! ^^

 

Bummer - I went to order a Miyuki head just now and she's no longer available -- I thought GD would be selling her all month. I'm hoping begging works. .

 

*waves* i am sorry that i neglected to mention it ♥ Odette is 'milky' Glorydoll on 'freshskin' Dollstown elf.

 

Thanks a lot Cat! ^^
She is so pretty! I adore that photo! ^///^

I wanted my Louis to be pretty pale, and I think
that Milky Skin is a bit paler than Healthy right?

At least that what it seems in the pics. Though
does anyone know about up close?

 

Has anyone ever tried putting Healthy Skin with a Dollzone body? I'm wondering if any of their resin colours matches, I wouldn't mind some jointed hands.

 

Bringing this thread back to life with a question and a little tiny bit of info.
I know that GD Healthy skin matches Dollzone pink, as I've seen a hybrid with the 58 cm body that looks fabulous, so there's one more hybrid option out there! I also bought a Dollmore SD dress for my Lucy, and it fit wonderfully, it was even a tiny bit baggy around her waist, so I know where to go for clothes in the future now xD

But my question was this: I restrung my girl two days ago, but had some serious issues because the holes where you feed the elastic through were so small I could barely get it through. Is this just GD, or is that normal for SD dolls? It was my first time stringing an SD, so I'm a little curious.

 

I see a Miyuki head part up for grabs if anyone is looking for it.

when will they put up a lucy head!!

 

Treelore, Thank you!!!! At first I thought you meant on the marketplace and I couldn't find it. But I found it on GD's site, placed my order and paid for it. Never would have thought to check. thank you thank you thank you!!!

And then, right after my order, I see she's sold out again. Dunno if that means it was a fluke or they had one in stock and wanted to get rid of it or what. . . .Guess I will find out. I'm fine with waiting for it, I just wanted to get that head. A small token of thanks, some spam of my finished Lucy:

 

I am glad you got it !

Lucy is certainly a unique character isn't she.

Nice to hear the dollzone works too would love to see a nude picture of that combo!
