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.

Glorydoll Lucy/Louis & Karin/Karl discussion

Sep 10, 2007

    1. AnitaS, I love your Lucy! I seriously can't photograph mine as well as that xD
       
    2. Well, just to pass this along -- I put Dollmore Youth Eve hands on my Lucy (who is on the no-torso-joint GD body) and it's a major improvement. The hands fit perfectly, are quite graceful looking, and have way more range of motion than the GD hands. I saw a photo somewhere on DoA of another GD body with those hands so knew they'd fit. Dollmore normal skin; GD healthy skin. The DM hands are a bit paler so I blushed them to match but they're not terrible without blushing. Plus the GD stringing was loose enough to easily pull the elastic down to go over the Dollmore resin hook. Highly recommended as a body fix.
       
    3. I have high dome eyes in my lucy but they seem to pushed back. Are the eyewells suppose to be sanded down?
       
    4. It's the dome pushing the eyes back. I've found high domes (doesn't matter if it's glass or acrylic) don't work well in any of my sleepy-eyed dolls. Better to get different eyes -- either soft-silicone or glass with lower domes. My Lucy is wearing Eyeco "smoke" in 12-13mm. I had some 14mm Brilliant glass eyes (DDE) in her to start and they were OK too, dome-wise.
       
    5. everpurple are quite low dome also fyi.
       
    6. I read somewhere that lucy was 16mm eyes? does she do better with 14mm?
      OH! By the way here is my Lucy on a Dollfamily body! I've had her for awhile, but now I get to show her off. I wanted a smiling Lucy......Her name is Teresa and she has a face up based on Volks' Leisolette.

    7. Goth Lucy fits 14mm perfectly, but basic Lucy is slightly gappy with 14mm. I still have my girl wearing them though, it's not enough to bother me.
       
    8. 14mm looks nice if you have soft silicone or oval eyes, eyes with additional white. But if they're traditional round eyes, 14mm can be gappy, as Kawaii-mon says. And it always depends on the eyes. I have bought "14mm" eyes that have been closer to 12mm or closer to 16mm.
       
    9. Aww, your Lucy has such a cute smile! I'd love to pinch her little cheeks!
       
    10. HEAD PARTS ARE FINALLY BACK !! ORDER NOW WHILE YOU CAN GRAB ONE !

      I just grabbed a lucy head.
       
    11. I've been pining for a Louis for a long, long while...now that the heads are for sale separately again I'm defiantely considering one! My only issue is that I'd be making mine into a boy and there doesn't seem to be much success finding a size/resin match for GD and a boy body from another company.

      Has anyone had any luck with it?
       
    12. Just got my blank Miyuki head, much faster than the full blank Lucy (ordered her on June 3). Miyuki is going on Lucy's body; Lucy is going on a Dollstown elf body. I'm a little disappointed in quality - the mouth is rough. She doesn't have a full set of teeth, just a couple on one side of her mouth. It looks like the might have teeth in the opposite corner of her mouth (where they shouldn't be <G>). Fortunately, I don't particularly care about teeth (or really like them, for that matter). I did take the time to paint Lucy's teeth but I think I will just ignore Miyuki's if I can and hope the lip blush/paint makes them less noticeable. I'm not skilled enough to smooth up the mouth with anything other than blush or paint. . .
       
    13. Has anyone had a problem with buckling knees? I've restrung my girl twice, with thicker elastic, but no matter what i do she will not stand, and when she does on a rare occassion it's only for a few seconds before she tumbles over.
      Just curious to know if it's just me or if anyone else has the same problem.
       
    14. Yep, I had a problem with buckling knees. I didn't restring her (she came tightly strung) but I did hot-glue suede her knees and her hip joints (I think they were part of the problem). She's on a saddle stand but she WILL stand, just takes a lot of fiddling. I also found she stands better in boots with a bit of a heel, and if one leg is slightly back.
       
    15. Ok I'll try to position her leg slightly back then, thanks! I need to go buy me a glue gun too, see if that helps.
       
    16. So has anyone received their heads yet? (boy, does that sentence sound odd...) I ordered my Karin in the middle of July.
       
    17. I wonder how long the heads will take to be delivered. Their full dolls take around 3 months.

      Took photos of Lilu for the first time in ages last week:

    18. She's beautiful Kawaii! I've always wondered how she was
      modded! The wig looks gorgeous on her too! I like how the two heads
      expressions differ!
       
    19. glorydoll let me know my lucy head order has shipped!
