How do you like Lati-Doll?

Oct 10, 2005

    1. I have Lati Green White and Yellow ...I love them
       
    2. We have a Lati Red M in our house, and i'm pleased to say that he's all around amazing. His resin has a... "harder" feeling than my DOT Shall, but it's still really nice quality.

      He poses like disco. Hip poping action, people. The scupt itself is very manly and realistic, with a wide range of motion. And yes, he can touch himself. So cool. The only bad thing about his scupt is that his knees go wonky on occation and turn around and go in all crazy directions. He can sit up straight well, and can stand just abount anyway you'd wish, although i haven't tried standing him on one leg yet, so i'm not sure if that will work.

      The only silly thing about them is their tiiiiny heads. Kemper wigs fit, although normal SD wigs won't. I havne't tried my Shalls wigs on yet, or ones that i have coming, but i'll add an update on that later.

      Lati ordering is a little complicated. They ask some really stupid questions on the credit card fill out form. When they ask for the phone number of the card, they mean the "In case of a lost or stolen card, or if you need customer service call this toll-free number."

      Shipping itself, once they acctually shipped, was four days from Korea to CA. The preparing to ship took quite some time, but when he got here he was wonderfully and safely packaged.

      I hope this helps. ^^
       
    3. I got a Lati Yellow Coco for my Mom- but she spends her time with my girls. I got her 2nd hand, so I dunno about their service- but otherwise- her normal skin is pretty fair compared to CP normal resin- more like my Narsha- but her little hands and everything are so finely sculpted and detailed- and she poses way better than my PF Yoko. She holds her poses better- can hold small items- and her resin is quite like the french resin of my Narsha and my Narae- very smooth and the coloring is all the same with no variations to look mismatched anywhere but more opaque like CP resin. She is taller and larger than my PF Yoko and can stand with alot of stability. Hope this helped!

    4. We've got a LatiBlue Cara. The body poses fairly well, once we tightened her string up a bit. She looks very finished in my opinion, but shiny as all heck till a good friend buffed her down. The knees are a little wonky, too, but all in all, I think it's fabulous.
       
    5. I can't remember if I posted here or not...

      I have a Pury. Their service was good, it was shipped out pretty fast; in about 2 weeks I think. Their packaging is wonderful! The box itself is very sturdy and thick. There's a translucent inside the box laying over the doll that has the doll's picture and name on it. It comes with a certificate of authenticity. My Pury came with an extra pointing hand, extra magnets for her headcap, and extra elastic! That was a very nice touch! :D

      Let me just say, that their faceups are TO DIE FOR. The details on Pury's teeny tiny face are amazing!! The delicate hairs of her eyebrows, her eye lashes, and the little lines drawn at the corner of her mouth to give her a smile, are so delicate and fine! By far, the nicest default faceup I've seen. I am so afraid to mess up that faceup! I don't think I could ever do such a good job!! :...(

      She is white skin. It's less yellow than CP BW and Volks white skin. Her posing is very good for one so tiny! She stands very well also. It takes a little patience to balance her(because of her big heavy head ;) ) but she still stands better than my CH or SD10! :roll:

      I highly reccommend Latidoll! *thumbs up!*
       


    6. Lati Red heads take 8 inch wigs, I believe.
       
    7. I adore my Latis. I have 2 white, 2 yellow, and 1 green. I was very happy with their service, love their faceups, love the resin & posing. I've had loads of fun shopping for them and just finding things that fit. They are so dang cute I can hardly stand it. My little boy loves them too. We've had so much fun with them we bought them houses. Here's a link to my photobucket

      okay so I couldn't stop at a couple pic. sorry
       
    8. Their resin is very nice.. it's a little shinier than Volks pureskin, but it's sturdy and has a nice weightiness when held. It's smooth, no tooth to it.

      It was very easy to order. I paid with Paypal. My doll arrived about two weeks later, wonderfully packed and with a bunch of freebies.

      I have the Lati Green Lea and she's an awesome poser. She's very stable-- I leave her standing for days without a stand. Her body sculpt is pretty, especially her hands. They're very detailed. She's too big for Yo-SD outfits, but she can wear Petite Ai things. She shares wigs with my Yo-SD and Petite.

      Hope this helps :)
       
    9. Seeing as my Lati Red K is my first doll, it's hard for me to draw much of a comparison, but it's clear that his resin is pretty shiny in some parts. There are certain parts on his body (hands, feet, neck in particular) that aren't smooth and have a bit of texture to them, but I'm actually really fond of that. I've also noticed that his lower leg part (his calves) appear to be a slightly different colour from his thighs, but it's minor and I don't mind very much. His seams appear to have been sanded down, and although there are certain lines that are still clearly visible, they aren't rough to the touch at all.

      His lanky legs have been an absolute nightmare so far. His upper leg joints have a tendency to swivel around a lot, and his knees often pop out of place too. There's a... "shelf" sort of thing on the back of his knee joint that locks him into a standing position, and I've nearly had my fingers caught in there popping them out in order to get him to sit down. *_*

      Regardless of his leg problems though, his arms and hands are lovely. Very expressive and very poseable, although my K has some trouble holding his arms up, but I think it might have more to do with stringing issues than anything. And magnetic headcaps are the best thing since sliced bread, and his head looks like it can be removed without much hassle. Latidoll also gives you extra string and magnets, which is wonderful, although the fact that his hands and feet are attached with weird "latch" like mechanisms seems difficult to deal with and I think it might be good to invest in some s-hooks.

      I paid with credit card, and although their credit card payment form is absurdly long and impossible to comprehend, I emailed them about my concerns and my payment went through without much of a problem about a day or two later.

      Personally, I think Latidoll is a wonderful company to deal with, and they produce lovely dolls~ :aheartbea
       
    10. more questions! :)

      what brands of clothing or sizes of clothing fit the various size ranges?

      (hopefully this thread will be useful to everyone)
       
    11. I'm waiting for a Lati Red M that I've paid for on the 5th of March. I'm actually wondering how long it'll actually take for them to ship him.
       
    12. I have a green line one, 30 cm tall...I find that most of the ySD-sized are well-fitted on her, as well as the shoes. Of course, it should be careful to buy those outfit because sometimes cannot fit...if possible, ask more and have a look on a real one is better...


      --------------

      Here are some photos I took when I met her.

      The service of Latidoll is very nice! I feel her sincereness outside and inside the boxes!

      Here I wrote some about the latidoll in my bLog when I bring her to my home.

      Sry that the blog is written in Chinese...^^"
       
    13. You seem to be forgetting about the Red line. I have both M & Aida from that group & their sculpts are wonderful, very realistic faces & highly detailed bodies. The resin is great too. Just be aware that these big boys have rather small heads, they only wear a 7-8 wig. My only complaint with them is that their legs are too twisty. They're long & lanky & can get into a lot of poses but the lower leg likes to turn around. Maybe some sueding would take care of that problem though. Otherwise, they're great & I highly recommend them.
       
    14. I've got a lati green and she is fantastic. I've got her some bambicrony stuff that fits her but she is longer in the leg and torso so all in ones don't work so well and pants are short in the leg. And pette Ai stuff and cutie delf also fits her.
      Lati have a good comparrison chart (what fits what) in their FAQ.

      She poses like a dream, the arms keep the pose and she can stand in all kinds of postions.
       
    15. I thought that too, till I realised that Aimee had written the topic way back in 2005 :sweat That was before the Red line came out, I believe.
       
    16. I have two lati yellows and a lati white on the way. The white is the first I've ordered from the web site and it was easy! I just ordered a few days ago, so she hasn't arrived yet, but I can check her status daily! I love the yellows posing! They are great! I have owned a PF, and they cannot share clothes. PF's are to small. They don't pose as well either. Lati's resin is great! Very nice and it's hard to find the seems on mine! (Haven't been sanded!) Best of luck!
       
    17. I have the limited Chaim in the red line limited and he is AMAZING. Very sturdy and heavy and the different in proportion means he looks much more adult. He has a 'package' that is detailed, which they apparently don't do on their smaller models. I was very impressed with the presentation of the doll also. The box and cushions with little tassles make you feel like you are opening up a priceless treasure. His clothes are very high quality, like volks. I would recommend Latidoll to anyone.
       
    18. I have a green and a red from Lati. I LOVE the resin quality, as my little green girl has takes nome SCARY tumbles, and come out without a scratch. She's a tough little thing! The resin can be a bit shiny, but also very smoth and beautiful. It has a nice weight to it. I think the volks pureskin is a little softer to the touch, but I'm hard-pressed so say which I like more.
      As far as posability, I've seen nothing better than Lati so far. It's true the red line legs twist a lot, and can be a bit frustrating. However, that twistiness, once you're used to it, allows for even more range of motion. It's a pain to get into a pose, but once you figure it out, he can do ANYTHING. They are also stable, as both of my Latis can stand on one foot unassisted. My red can even do that without sueding or wiring. (green required sueding for the task.) Their heads have especially nice free motion. Green hands seem to have a little more limitation on thier posing, as they do not use a seperate wrist ball, but instead attached ball for the joint. Still, not too bad.

      Other notes, awsome head-caps. Magnets are so much more convenient than the rubber band thing... Company service was good, fast, and came with a few little bonuses I didn't expect, ...and I can't think of anything more here.

      As far as clothes, my Lati girl shares with the Yos of the house, though she's a bit bigger and not all yo clothes fit perfectly. They are very close. For red, no idea. I've made his clothes so far, so I've not tried to find compatablity. He wears MSD wigs though. (TINY head!)

      Anyway, I highly recommend this brand. Generally, they are my favorite so far, I think. ^_^
       
    19. Of all the dolls I have in DEFAULT state Lati does THE best makeup. I have had quite a few dolls at this point as well as volks. The makeup is very detailed amazing eyebrow work and lips and blush top quality as you would expect if you paid one of the best artists to do the makeup. The makeup on the tinies is done as well as the large dolls!

      The resin on my Lati yellow is not shiny and is super smooth and a high quality with nice creamy white tone to it with just a hint of pink. Its my favorite resin color and type of my dolls I own.

      Packaging is really something as most owners will mention it in threads of openings, the box itself is well made and thick of high quality materials. I was really blown away by how perfect the box was! then the packaging is done really well with the foam cut out that protects the doll and the little plastic packages.

      The whole doll is a pleasure. I think they put a great amount of time into the design from start to finish.

      Lati yellow do of course have rather large heads for the bodies! It took me a while to get used to this. I would prefer them to be a tiny bit smaller head wise but they do have a certain chibi cute factor because of it.

      Aimee the makeup actually looks allot like the artist that did your suzuna made me wonder if it was the same artist.
       
    20. Totally agree your views, especially the MAKEUP and the BOX...
      The default makeup of Latidoll is really good indeed...of course you cannot compare with the makeup of those famous visagiste...
