illusiongarden Doll Discussion

Thank you!! Wow so DF-H does match better. THe iriny of my literally having a DF-H body just ordering it in rosey white ahhhhh but I didn't know at the time what head I'd want. Well, things happen lol

 

It really will depend on what year your illusion garden lace white is from! The one in my picture is a very bizarre color, but I think previous years' lace whites usually match switch rosy white more!

 

Oh yeah I've heard that! I don't have the head yet, I guess the colour will come down to if they rerelease Hades or I see an older one secondhand! With blushing I could also get the lace white to better match the rosey white!

 

Anyone here with Hades/Evening Hades and can recommend a good body for this boy?

 

Loong Soul 70 -- good proportion, but their white skin is extremely pale.

 

Do you mean their 73 one or there's 70 that I can't find?

 

70， not 73

Does anyone have a recommendation for skin match for cream blossom? Looking into getting bust stands, instead of full bodies. I have a Yuli Unicorn Head.

 

Does anyone know of a good resin match for pale blossom?

 

Wow! Thought I'd try my luck for Angelos Johan, but the website was SO laggy it took 17 mins for me to get to the checkout page- he sold out as I was putting in my payment information. And I have fiber internet!

 

Had the same experience on trying to snag a Yuli Head! Ended up needing to buy him secondhand.

Honestly I don't know what the stock quantity is but it must be tiny. Also I'm pretty sure whoever is snagging them is probably using bots.

 

Oh my gosh, bots? Really?? I don't know anything about that but it seems like a lot of work just for doll heads. However I did notice that the website didn't lag at all until the 12pm on the DOT. In other sales like this that I've tried for, the site starts lagging just before the release time, because people are already refreshing the page in case the sale opens a tiny bit early. So it was weird that Illusion Garden's site was loading perfectly fine until the MOMENT it was 12:00. I guess that could be suspicious.

Anyway, we'll find out in a few months if a bunch of those Johan heads were bought by scalpers. It sounds like this has been a problem for IG.

 

Yeah, I know there are people who use bots and scripts for lolita fashion brand releases as well. I think the most annoying part is going on secondhand markets the next day and seeing a flood of the exact dress you were trying to get listed at scalped prices.

I'm sad it's basically the same experience with Illusion Garden, especially when she keeps telling people to stop reselling her heads at scalped prices. People who actually want to keep the heads should be able to get them. I really wish she could have her website use a cart reservation system like Angelic Pretty Paris and other sites do. It's so much easier to get the item you want when it's guaranteed a place in your cart for the next 5 to 15 minutes.

 

Hello!
Does anyone know what wig size is best for Illusion Garden's Unicorn Yuli/Yuli?
I sent my two Yuli's out to get their face-ups done so I can't measure them myself at the moment but I want to order a wig for them in the meantime so that they have hair for when they come back

I know on the website they list ~8-9inches. So I'm not sure if it'd be better to go for a 21-22cm wig or 22-23cm?

I am so excited I was able to order evening Bane. (I have already failed my new year's resolutions to not buy any new dolls and heads) I love all of illusiongarden's sculpts and have been wanting one for ages but always missed out on the pre-orders.

I ordered him in pale blossom and can't wait for him to get here. Does anyone have any heads in the new pale blossom, and know a good resin match?

 

@Zacarias Congrats! I failed the new years doll purchase with an Angelos Johan a few years ago on I think the 14th of January XD

 

which boy had the first cast of the new colours? i think my PB are the older hue. my new ones are WS, and still struggling a bit myself for matches too.

 

I think it was Kandel, who I believe went up for order last June?

Vings offers (or offered, it's likely they'll still have it when they reopen body orders though) a match to old Lace White. It's not 100% since old Lace White has a gray undertone that the Vings body doesn't have, but with a faceup it's a pretty good match in most light.
Here's my Lace White (late 2021 or early 2022) Angelos Johan on it.

thank you I wish I could help about the new PB tones but mine are definitely the old PB then.

that's great to know about Vings, my LW are 2021/2022 as well, thank you so much!

your boy is beautiful. Angelos Johan is probably my favourite. that's who i'm trying to sort out first.
