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 love your pic! really like his face up, he is such a cutey
       
    2. I really love this brand, I think the face sculpts look AMAZING the bodies are nice too but not my most favorite
       
    3. Youpla, that's a wonderfully set up picture~.
       
    4. Thank you !! :)
       
    5. Aww, it's really a super cute picture! Good to see your boy being so relaxed. ˆˆ
       
    6. the face up is amazing. It looks so natural.
      I've been toying with the idea of buying a Mono straight from Eosdolls. Has anyone done this recently? I am a bit confused by the fact that there is no price mentioned on the site. Where do you find the price list?
      I wondered too if she does provide another set of hands for mono. I dislike nails and I don't find his hands aesthetically pleasing and I am not sure if it is due to his nails only. Has anybody replaced them with another doll's hands?
      Another question is: is she (the sculptor) planning to make a double-jointed body for him in the near future? I love the body but I already have 2 single jointed dolls and wish for better posability.
       
    7. Please ignore my questions above. i've decided to go for an iplehouse jid instead. Still, the boy is an heartbreaker, i hope she'llupdate his joints.
       
    8. Lim Hwa has answered my email very quickly. At the moment (I don't know if the prices will change in the near future), it costs $300.00 for Limhwa Limho Mono with eyes and wig and $280.00 without eyes and wigs. He has only the one set of hands and his creator will not upgrade him to double joints. This last bit is a real pity. My dream would be that she finds a manufacturer willing to upgrade the joints and have the end product looking less rough. The boy would sell like hotcakes.
       
    9. Lilla the body isn't too bad though, even with single joints. JIDs (at least the male ones) - despite being double jointed - also aren't that posable (+ they are HUGE and never fit in regular MSD stuff). I funnily re-shelled the character of my JID Ryan into a Limhwa Mono back in 2011 (now I'm waiting on a new Ryan and I can't wait to take pics of him next to my two Monos XD)
       
    10. Roterwolkenvogel, will you do a comparison between the JID and the Monos?
      I haven't bought mine yet and I would be very interested to hear what are the pluses and minuses of each body.
      I love the mono's skinniness but am very attracted by the JID's double-jointness.
       
    11. Lilla I can certainly do that once he's here :) Should be fun to see how the skinny Mono body compares to the HUGE (not kidding) JID body xD
       
    12. D-double post to show Lilla the comparison between Iplehouse JID and Limhwa Limho Mono:

    13. Youpla Me too XD

      And oh, a tan Narin! He looks so good together with Alban! :D
       
    14. Thanks Roterwolkenvogel! It is a great help, I prefer the Limhwa limho mono. It looks like I am going to own a third single-jointed doll after all.

      Youpla such a lovely picture :daisy
       
    15. Oh no...I found a picture of Limhwa Mono and it was love at first sight! but I'm not familiar with this company so I have a few question for the owners of these lovely dolls!

      I read that they are made of french resin, I also know that french resin tends to yellow faster and tan can get green over time. Do you think this will happen to these dolls? or do they have a special resin like Iplehouse who also uses french resin but has been able to come up with a less yellowing/greener alternative?

      Can they wear regular MSD clothes? I'm still looking for pictures of Mono next to regular MSDs, if anyone has them please share!

      Thanks in advance :3
       
    16. yumi~ No experience with Monos in french resin here, but Limhwa does sell them in normal urethane (and not in french resin anymore if I'm not mistaken). So if you order a new one you should not have to worry about the disadvantages of french resin!
      Clothes-wise, Mono does fit in regular Slim Mini clothes (they tend to be a wee bit short as Monos have rather long limbs), regular MSD stuff however might be too big. I sadly can't take a picture of my Mono next to a regular MSD, I only collect Slim Minis.

      On another note, Rajko, my second tan Mono shipped from Junkyspot :D And Varekai finally got his amazing outfit by Nezumitoo and once I get his wig by eclipse I can finally show him all done (after he waited for three years, poor guy)!
       
    17. Roterwolkenvogel Thank you!! I feel so much better now because they don't use french resin! congrats on tan Mono!! :D I'm still debating the skin tone I want to get...not now because I have to save money for Christmas x_X I'll probably order him next year...so please post lots of pictures of your guys <3
