1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Limhwa Limho 44.5cm Discussion Part 1

Sep 5, 2006

    1. I had not thought of making Mono a girl but it works very well! She is lovely!
       
    2. Hello everyone! I see this thread doesn't get much attention, but I just wanted to pop in and ask a few questions. :)

      I finally was able to get my Mono looking how I imagined, but I have him on one of the older DollZone bodies. I'm considering leaving him as a hybrid, but that Limhwa body is so perfect for the character's body type. So, how is the posing? Do they only offer a single jointed version or could I order a double jointed one? Thanks ahead of time for the info!

      Here's a quick shot of Evgeni for you guys. :)

    3. Ohh...he looks lovely!

      There's only the single-jointed body for Mono, but the posing isn't bad for a single-jointed body as long as it's strung reasonably tightly. The body is somewhat limited, but the elbows and knees have lovely range of motion for single joints. The torso does tend to "slump" a bit and the body doesn't sit completely straight (at least Beau doesn't) but he can stand solidly after restringing. The torso is far heavier than the legs, so it makes him a bit top-heavy. The thicker the elastic you can get in there, the more solid he'll be. The range of motion of the neck/head is absolutely beautiful. I made this body review thread a while ago. It might help answer some of your questions.
       
    4. That actually sums it all up for me really well! Thanks so much Sapphire. I can always count on you to have all the answers. :)

      I think I'll keep him on the DZ body for a little while longer. Plus, I don't think Limhwa offers just bodies without the head, do they? I could always order a whole new doll and have a pre and post-fight face-up. Hmmmm....

      I'm so impressed with the mono sculpt. No two look alike. That's so awesome!
       
    5. hahaha...if only I did have all the answers. ;) I'm really glad I could help you with this one, though!

      I don't think you can order just the bodies, but then again, I haven't asked. When I got Beau, it was head and body together.
       
    6. My James got some new eyes this week, Eyeco Liz Ultra in 11mm. (I also got some Louisiana Iris eyes, but I love these so much, I think those will get saved for another doll). Here he's hanging out with Gavin, my JID Owen who also got new eyes.

      Now that I figured out (sort of) how to place these, I love them!
      There's more of these two on Tumblr.
       
    7. Oh! I love James' new eyes! I may have to order some of those!
       
    8. Loving his new eyes as well!

      I've been a bit evil recently and put Varekai in a wig I have for another doll recently - and it looks both horrible wrong and somehow right at the same time xD

    9. Its been awhile since there's been new Mono spam. This isn't the best photo, but James is finally settling into his resin style and I'm pretty excited about it (I even made him a necklace after this). I made everything he's wearing (minus wig and eyes).

      Gallery thread here (that has the necklace too!). Gosh, I love making things for my boys. :)
       
    10. Your boys are cool !!


      Here my new boy ! I just finished is face-up :) He is so photogenic ! Im very happy with him ^^
      His name is Alban

    11. Alban is great! I love the faceup you gave him!
       
    12. He's amazing! Congrats Youpla. I love how you did his faceup, so soft and natural <3
       
    13. Thank you !!

      I need to find some clothes now xD poor boy
       
    14. Youpla He's so handsome! :D

      And finally, got a pic of Varekai again, my poor neglected boy (kidding, he's so spoiled - waiting on a full outfit by nezumitoo and a wig by eclipse21).

    15. Boys are so different with custom make-up ! Beautiful light :)
       
    16. Love Alban's face up. Very soft and natural.
       
    17. Youpla He's such a handsome boy and I love his new clothes!

      And I might have just ordered a second tan Mono. Purely for scientific reasons of course (to figure out how much Varekai has turned green) xD
       
    18. ahahah I don't believe you !! :D Varekai is not green at all ! Have you an idea for the new boy ? :)
       
    19. He's pretty olivegreen when you see him irl ;) The new boy will prolly get a tattoo all over his head (to save me the hassle of finding a fitting wig) and maybe get a goatee to be some sort of Varekais evil younger brother :3
