Haru Casting Adori Discussion

aw thanks - i had a hard job deciding which of the darker skin tones i wanted, it was a toss up between chocolatte, moist brown or black pearl.

I looked up the size I put in my Adori and I have 10/11mm soft acrylic eyes from Safrin and theres no gapping at all

Ooops just realised I doubled posted - sorry Mods !

 

I, too, have been researching the darker colors. I did think the Black Pearl would be darker, but it is pretty nonetheless. The Haru Flickr page shows the Black Pearl skin tone on both faces, but neither has a face-up. I downloaded one to play with in Photoshop, so perhaps I can give myself an idea of what different make-up styles would look like.

 

I just ordered my head, woo! I'm so excited. I've never owned a doll this tiny before but Adori's smiling head just stole my heart.

The dark skins are super pretty. I was going to order them in the one of the softer/medium tans, but I wanted to put them on a Littlefee body, so I ordered them in the normal peach so I could hopefully dye the body and head a similar color when they both get here. I'm already getting the dyes together for when I have both pieces.

Have they started sending out any of the dolls yet? I read around the end of the month, but they didn't give an exact date.

 

On their flickr they have said that the first dolls will be send this week. I have not heard any more info.

Kayke has done a face-up on a black pearl Adori.

 

I tried to resist, I tried to resist, I really didn't want to order a doll that I couldn't get with a face up... and then I kept looking at pictures. So I've sent a message to a UK faceup artist whose work I've liked in other areas, and have reblogged to buy a regular head/v2 body in soft tan.

I couldn't help it - they're too adorable. It's a wonder I'm not getting one in every colour. (Ah, if I won the lottery...)

 

which are the skin colors in the pic?
I'm trying to find a comparison of all the colors, but the only picture I found has different names from the price list names

Here's some more of their skin stones side by side. Since they aren't included in that picture.

 

I've had messages back from them to confirm which I want - now I'm waiting to hear back about payment. They didn't mention how much shipping was so have queried that - am assuming it's in addition to the price. I'm so excited - Adori is so cute, and every one I've seen so far has been so different looking - they seem to have real personality.

 

I was told that he wouldn't know shipping charges until everything was packaged.
We actually exchanged about half-a-dozen emails before I made my order to his satisfaction!

 

I think he'll be sending invoices for the shipping?

 

If you are doing layaway they will add the shipping cost to the final payment when the dolls are ready to ship out.Not sure how they gonna charge it if you paid in full.

 

I wasn't clear as to whether he would send a separate invoice for shipping fees, or just add it to the original PayPal charge. I've had companies add shipping to PP invoices after they were paid, but usually right away.

 

I've made full payment just now, he said EMS would charge when they were ready to ship.

Now to wait. Patiently. Now, where did I leave my patience?

 

thanks and congrats

thank you ^^

I asked them the same (for a possible next time) as I'm in Italy and shipping is always high, they say they'll know when they'll ship


btw I sent them a mail to know all the colors, they linked me some flickr pictures but it's not easy to choose and to compare as they're not all in the same picture I know I'm asking too much, I'm a perfectionist, I need to know (and see) every single thing

 

Well, I couldn't quite swing getting smiling adori and a body for my girl Soyong. But at least I'll have her on her own body and hopefully there will be another order period so I can get her brother.

 

That was the problem I had. I could only get one, but I'd like the non-smiling head as well to swap out on the same doll. Hopefully this first pre-order goes well and they end up making more. I really like their bodies, but I guess I'll have to live with a secondhand one from a different company and cross my fingers waiting.

 

I'm happy to join this thread as I just made an order for Adori. =D

Yesterday I had no idea this doll existed, I was browsing flickr and saw him, love at first sight! the picture took me to their tumblr page, I used to had a tumblr but I cancelled it, well...yesterday I made another one so I could make my order. I placed it at the last minute so I thought they weren't going to accept it but they did!!

They told me that I would have the total tomorrow with EMS shipping included. I ordered Regular head in moist beige, boy body ver.2 and Smiling head in soft tan, same body. I wanted to get the two heads and just one body at first but knowing me, I can never have two heads sharing a body so I took the plunge and ordered two full dolls.

The heads are very different to what I have always seen in this size and I adore the fact that it was modelled after their son

I can't wait to see what I do with them as it was the most "impulse buy" purchase I have ever done. I literally saw the doll and in the next 10 minutes I was making my order. I have nothing prepared, no names, no characters or eyes/wig etc. but I feel very excited : )

Btw, I enjoy looking at your Adori dolls, please spam more

 

I too wanted Adori for a long time, despite my decision to go for smaller dolls from now on. Just too cute to pass up. I took forever to decide on which heads, which skin tone etc. I ended up with the girl v2 body (looks like it poses very well!) in medium tan with both heads.

I'm so curious to see what medium tan looks like in real life. Harucasting said it was a unique combination of tan and violet.
