if i got it right, the ToYou's were made from urethane resin (not sure if all batches were made from the same?) which does not yellow. i also read that such a small doll would not be possible to make from french resin, because she would be too transparent as everything is so small and "thin".
Ditto to the above for me... my Sorina is just as perfectly creamy as the day she arrived. I'll try to snap some quick photos of her right now (though it rained today, so I apologize in advance if the color isn't dead-on)! ~Kalmia
ToYou is not French resin. Limhwa told Dollyholic once that if Limhwa was ever made of French resin she would be transparent in slim areas. She is regular resin. Carolyn
I got my Lim hwa To You Sara last week of July. So far, here are my thoughts (please note she is my very first BJD): - She is much much lighter than anticipated. My vinyl Disney doll seemed a little heavier and heftier than her. My first thought on handling her was - "this bit of resin was worth that much?????" - Her head is really small. Even a 20/0 brush seems too big for her, but I am having trouble acquiring a reasonably priced 30/0 (like below $50 please) brush so I'm trying various ways to do her faceup. - Her hands are beautiful and have nails that can actually be manicured with a tiny enough brush. May attempt this if I end up keeping her. - She stands solidly on her own with minimal effort on my part. She however seems stiff and tight, and her arms especially always want to be at a 90 degree angle unless I persuade them to be straight. - I'm not super pleased at how limited her poses are so far. She is single-jointed and I'm still getting used to posing dolls so maybe she'll be better with more handling. Mixed feelings at the moment. On the one hand, I feel closer to her after doing her faceup and tattoos, but on the other hand, I really dislike how stiff and limited her poses are, which is making it difficult for me to enjoy handling her (I almost prefer her disassembled lol!). I especially wish she can do a kneeling position or can sit up with her feet level, but so far I haven't been able to get her to do either pose. I am highly tempted to resell her within the next three weeks or so since I fell in love with a larger doll and feel that YOSD size dolls are too small for me, but I'm a little concerned that I'll be selling at a loss.
