Limhwa 43cm (Leda & Sujan) Discussion Part 1

They do look like sisters! I think most of the Limhwa sculpts do since they tend to share many features. I hope you can afford your girl soon!

 

haha yah, beautiful sisters xD! and im pulling together funds now! i could even get her within a week!!! so lets cross our fingers. i acctaully already decided a name for my Sujan, to me, she looks almost half asian , in some pictures, just her features. so i wanted to make her half korean girl! so i decided on a Korean name. so ill be naming her Seyeon !!! i thought it was cute

 

That is a very pretty name! I hope you post some photos once you get her.

 

This thread is so quiet! I ordered my limhwa sujan from junky spot! There was only one Normal Skin Blank left in stock!!!! So I snagged the last one ^^, she shipped out quickly and will be here Tuesday or Wednesday

 

In stock dolls at Junky Spot are great for almost instant gratification!

 

That's where I got my girl as well.
I was kind of surprised I got this DollHeart outfit to fit her - I thought the corset would be too small, but the jacket helped keep it in place.

 

Omg that outfit is super cute ^^ from what I can see from the corset it looks awesome. also I recived my sujan!!! I did a box opening of her ^^. To find it go to YouTube and type Captainchaseee. And then go to my profile and its there ! She's more than I ever thought. She's beautiful. I sent her off for a faceup so she will be back in about a week

 

Has anyone else ordered Lily? I couldn't resist her, although I tried really hard.

 

I am trying to resist, as I am waiting on another doll. But I love my mono boy ... I'm just a teeny bit afraid she'll look too much like his sister. I love her smile and expression.

 

Lily is super pretty. this whole big event started a week after i got my Sujan. im like, is this a joke... xDDDDDDDDDD. but i looked over the pics and im still 100% happy with my Sujan, i just love her features more, expesially her dreamy/sultry eyes, those i cannot replace haha. plus Lilys features look so big 0-0. also did anyone notice that MSD Lily = SD Half elf and MSD Sujan = SD Iris xD...

 

Lily arrived this afternoon and she is really beautiful, although her default faceup is a bit too pale for my taste. The only things I'm not crazy about are the ends of her fingers and the way her torso is shaped where it meets the top of her legs, but I can improve these. Otherwise she is very beautiful and elegant. She was a total impulse buy so I am still deciding on eye and hair color, but I think she will be fun to play with. I often wish that all dolls' heads came in a standard size, so all my slim mini dolls would be in proportion with each other. *sigh* This one seems to be in a class of her own, but I'm burned out with trying to find my girls suitable male companions. It makes me crazy because the heads and features are always too small, too big, or too young-looking. I have yet another small man on order, but am reserving judgement until I see his head in person. I'll post photos after I get her put together.

 

Emory posted new photos and I succumbed! I ordered her in tan! She's my second Limhwa and first bjd in tan. Now I have TWO incoming dolls. What?

 

haha congratz Novemberkris !!!!!! the MSD limhwas are GORGEOUS>. i absolutely love mine. She is like a piece of art , her realistic, raw, and beautiful sculpting makes me feel closer to her than any other doll.

 

They really are lovely I really love my beige Mono a ton. At first, he was engineered so much more simply, than my first doll and of course, has trouble balancing to sit up, I was apprehensive. But I've invested so much time in costuming him (because that face!) I just adore him now. I suspect it will be much the same with his soon to arrive lady-friend! She'll be my first girl doll to arrive!! I'm excited--I've been waiting for the first round of Lilies to make it over!

 

well im super happy you were able to get her! my Sujan, Seyeon, wishes a safe coming home!!! i just adore my Seyeon, shes so beautiful! shes at the faceup artist now ^^. also they cant sit unless they slouch, so keep that in mind. these girls are MASTER sloucher and archers, they pose great to me!! my girls arms are strung alittle loose so i need to find a way to tighten them T.T

 

In my experience, tightening stringing is harder than just restringing. I would just unstring the arms, shorten the loop of elastic and restring them.

 

I agree. Unless you have those clamps (also called hemostats I think) to hold the elastic while you tie a new knot, it is almost impossible to do without restringing the doll. Even with two people to tug the body to and fro!

 

Captainchase, thanks! I think that is a habit of many dolls. And it seems to be one of those engineering vs aesthetics moves! I'm glad to hear the slouch balances the ladies. Mono has a slow creep backwards even with a slouch. But then again, that chest joint is a different position! (plus no extra bosom weight). I'm excited-looking for wigs. I want her to have this kind of mousy brown (like I had when I was tan as a kid - get some extensions for highlights, maybe), and it seems an unpopular color (warmer browns are the norm, of course!).

I have to ask, do these girls come with both flat and heel feet? (I know, I'll find out tomorrow with my box opening, hahahaha). I'm the world's worst shoe shopper for myself, let alone my poor dolls. Though, I see they come with the resin heels, which is a bit of a lifesaver!

Ee so excited. My boyfriend is home tomorrow for the delivery and a total doll enabler. He has a video game love, so he loves that I've rediscovered dolls in the past year. He didn't know I had collected so many different ones as a kid. He's excited to see her. He's not seen me open a doll before (LDR-for 10 years and we just were able to end it too... ugh job markets). Sorry, blubbering. I'm silly, excited, and love expecting these resinlings. Rory and James kind of became a fantasy replacement for our relationship in the past 3 years that I started my comic (based on OCs from my childhood, hahaha), so this will be a special new doll for deeply personal reasons. ^_^

Any recommendations for jeans, btw? I can make just about anything else, but Rory's a jean's character, so I'll be looking for something that fits. I don't want to do the detailing in those yet ... haha.

 

The girls do come with flat and heel feet. The little resin shoes are for the heel feet.

 

Hehe. Thanks! I've had all boys so far, so I felt the need to ask the derpy question since I didn't see it in the listing for sure.
