Haru Casting Adori Discussion

You did such a lovely photoshoot. I've been seeing your pictures all over the place. Your dolls are so adorable.

 

Aww thanks guys/galls/nonbinary! They were so much fun to drag around and pose all over the place, also they fitted perfectly into my photobag XD I'm so glad you're enyoing them!

 

You're Adori (that already sounds plural) are amazing! I just sent mine off for face and body work and this is the first time I've actually missed a doll/s during that waiting period. But then I've always just sent out heads before.

 

I received my Adori with both heads and really, really like him! The outer box was soaked because we've been getting a lot of rain but Adori came out smiling and in great shape. Wow, does the smiling face ever cheer things up!

 

I was one of the people lucky enough to get one of the 30 giveaway Adori heads, and I grabbed at the opportunity to order a smiling head and a Version 2 body the first day they were offered. I'm still very new to the hobby, but this doll is really something special -- I am just about to send him out for a professional face-up, and I miss him already! I'll be counting the days until he comes back to me.

I'm watching Haru's development of Nanni closely, too, and saving up for the inevitable moment that I fall in love with that sculpt like I did the sculpt of her brother.

 

I just saw a photo of Nanni onTumblr and she's adorable, she has the toddler cheeks young kids have, really cute!

Hi I have one of the original 30 heads too, only I gave him a littlefee body and bought a tan girl. I've just sent her head off for a face up and I'm missing her so much -shes so adorable !

Maybe spam would help ???

@Hasel Iseul is so pretty and the flowers only help to enhance her beauty ! And I agree Nanni is dead cute, those cheeks are do pinchable lol

How do you guys think Adori compares to an Iplehouse doll? I'd like to have a realistic looking 1/6 doll to go with my Iplehouse dolls. I was planning on a BID, but none of those sculpts endear themselves to me quite as much as Adori in owner pictures. But, I'm worried the style difference might make him not fit with my girls, and I like for my dolls to have a little group they fit into. Anyone with a KID or JID that could weigh in?

 

Well, I have KID and JID dolls, too! (I really need to get a Flickr account so I can show you some comparison pics...I'll have to do that this week.)

I actually like my Adori with my JID "I". His scale makes him look like a 4-5 year old against her more teen-years scale. If my JID had the larger bust and/or a more mature face sculpt, I could see how she'd work even as a mom-character to his scale.

The KID dolls are also a good "big sister" scale for him. If he's 4, then Lisa seems like a 10-year-old against him.

I've also been known to play him off as a 9-10 year old against my resin 16" fashion dolls, for even greater play-ability and more photo opportunities. But the Iplehouse girls are my go-to for most of these things.

Samson, your Loki and Hasel's Iseul are both so gorgeous -- I have been debating the idea of ordering a tan-skin Adori for myself when the next ordering period opens, and when I see your dolls I feel like the debate is over! I love those little dolls in the tan!

 

So here's some pictures of my Iplehouse girls with the Adori doll, so you can compare the scale of them. The Adori (Henry) stands and poses like a dream without a stand or sueding, but the Iplehouse JID "I" (Brooke) needs a stand:



Here's Brooke and KID "Lisa" together with Henry:



(Please forgive Henry's lack of faceup. I just stripped all of his paint off this weekend so I can send him out to an artist who can do justice to the sculpt, instead of my amateur efforts.)

 

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I needed. He looks wonderful with them! Thank you again.

 

Could I request girly Adori spam please? My little girl is off having her face painted and I'm missing her so much

 

Sorry, this isn't Adori girl spam but hopefully some Adori boy spam will be ok too This is my Hanni playing in the garden

Thank you Lucy, I'll take Hanni's spam anytime, all the time. Hes like my Adoris cousin lol and is as cute as a button

 

@princesspetal That's so cute! Where on earth did you find a tiny spacehopper?

 

Thank you yes, I see our boys as cousins too hehe

Thanks so much! The space hopper is actually a squeaky toy for a dog

 

Omg brilliant! *makes mental note to check the pet store next trip*

 

FYI: Haru just announced that the next pre-order period for Adori will run 6/15 to 7/15.

I can already tell I'm gonna crack and order my tan little girl!

 

They do layaways, right? (hope, hope)

 

They did have a layaway. Buyer had to pay everything in two payments.

I wonder will they have Adoris elf versions for sale?
