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.

Little Monica - Harmony Line (Part 3)

Jan 16, 2016

    1. @Cuteasadoll thank you so much for the photo. I see older batch is much yellower than new batch. It will not really match togeteher. I am in dillema right now, which body should I buy for my 2014 head. I don't like to see my doll to have much different colour skin between head and body.:sweat
       
    2. @Shien2 You could keep an eye out for an older body secondhand, I have seen Little Monica pop up now and then! If you really want a new body, you could de-yellow the head so its a closer match (but if your head has a faceup you'd like to keep then you can't) or you could leave the body out in light a bit so it yellows to match.

      Really though once as a full doll it's hard to tell a difference. Like in my Innocent Chloe image, you couldn't pick up that big a difference :3nodding: she's my newest head on my oldest body there, the body from 2015.
       
    3. @Cuteasadoll yes right now I prefer for secondhand body. De-yellow is not an option because I love his faceup
      My head is dyuke in his old faceup. I love that faceup so much.:love
      Yellowing the body is a risk to. It can't guarantee even yellowing for the entire body.
      If I can't find a nice secondhand body maybe I will buy new LM body. I really wnat my dyuke to have a body :frownyblush:
       
    4. Hello~!
      Does anybody have suggestions for proportionally and colorwise (pink) fitting jointed hands for the female harmony body?
       
    5. @pimilbero , I dont know about proportion but I know resinsoul will do color matching casting with their jointed hands ^^

      I was one of the winners from the 10th anniversary contest! The prize is a surprise head, I cant wait to see what it is :D

    7. @pimilbero she’s gorgeous! I just admit I did not like her in Little Monica’s photos but I love how you’ve styled her :love does she have a Little Monica faceup or did you send her out for a custom?
       
    8. Thank you @Cuteasadoll ! :D I painted her myself. Gosh it was pretty hard to paint her teeth (it was my first time) >w<;

    9. @pimilbero :
      Wow, Lily~~ I like yours a lot~ I know that a few of LM's newer sculpts have different features with their older releases, but I guess it's a good thing. Hope to see more of your pretty Lily~~ :love
       
    10. My WS Sophia head with Giselle's faceup arrived ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    11. @tharlenne : She's very pretty. :kitty2
      I have a Sophia, too. She was - and still is - my grail doll. When I first got into the hobby I saw her on Little Monica's website and thought "Wow, she's so pretty, but I will never be able to afford her." And now I have her. :)
      She's currently gone for a new face up. So curious what she'll look like when she comes back. :]

    12. Oh! I feel you. I never thought I'd own Sophia either :XD: I didn't have a character for her until recently, so it was the perfect excuse to get her! What skin color is your Sophia? I always like seeing this mold in different faceups because of how different she can look, even more depending on the skin color. She's breathtakingly beautiful :love

      I took this one photo of my Little Monica Reynell and Sophia together with my cellphone, and it's got a filter by the BeautyCam android app.

      I wanted to share it here as well because of how proud I am of the shot :aeyepop: I didn't do much editing other than applying the filter (which is a little embarrassing) but I'm practicing angles and lightning with my phone to learn how to get the best out of White Skin without it looking too pale next to Normal Skin. It's my first WS doll.

      Some Sophia/Reynell spam ahead people! Hehee~

    13. @tharlenne : Wow, they look absolutely beautiful. :love Very nice job on the photo and don't be embarrassed about the filter. It looks very nice. :thumbup
      My Sophia has normal skin. Here's a picture of her before I sent her to the face up artist:
      (She's not a "pure" Little Monica though, she's a hybrid with a Dollzone body.)

    14. Oh! She had the default faceup :love Both of my girls are hybrids too! It's okay :whee: Make sure to drop a photo here when you get her back from the faceup artist. The Normal Skin makes her look so sweet~
       
    15. @tharlenne : Yes, I will definitely post pictures of her when she returns. Can't wait. :whee:
      What bodies did you use for your hybrids?
       
    16. My NS Reynell is on the Dreaming Doll Elva Girl Body, and my WS Sophia is on the LUTS SDF Type 5 :)
       
    17. Everyone's dolls are so beautiful. It's so nice to see some of the very obscure molds here too like @pimilbero 's Lily and @tharlenne 's Reynell. I think those might be the first owner photos I've seen of them!

      Since everyone is talking about hybridizing LM heads~ I am trying to get a Grace Harmony body for my special Dyuke head but since the boy line is not very popular it has been a challenge finding one second hand. There is one that popped up a while ago that I am inquiring about but don't know for sure if its available.

      LUTS and LM NS Resin is a little similar (although I notice my Dyuke is slightly yellow/creamier than new LUTS Real Skin), so I wonder if anyone has ever tried male Harmony heads on the new LUTS SDF65 body~ I think it could be nice proportion, but my only fear is that Luts heads are a tad bigger than the petite features of Little Monica. I'd hate for him to look pinhead... =_= ;

    18. @Dybbuk he’s amazing!! As for the hybrid question, do you know how the girl heads measure up to the boy heads? Roselyn is small, but I’ve also got a Chloe and I have a Switch 65cm Attractive body. I can get some photos of that hybrid for proportion purposes, but I’ve never has a Little Monica boy I’m not sure if they make them any larger that girl heads. It’s also not the exact body but maybe can help if no ones got the Senior65 in hand.
       
    19. @Cuteasadoll : You know I don't think I've ever seen a LM female sculpt in person before! (I need to get out more) So I'm not sure how much smaller they are than the boys but I imagine they probably are a tad bit smaller. Of course after I wrote this and then read what you wrote, I started thinking... I had him on Volks SD17 body for a little while which is ~65cm and the new SDF and Switch Attractives are also 65cm and very similar build... I honestly think it would probably look the same as the SD17, which was very nice looking.

      I had to just think it out a little bit~ lol I'm not used to hybridizing my dolls and try to keep the company body (mostly because I don't like it when resin color ages differently) but lately I am trying to avoid spending so much money and looking for 2nd hand bodies.
       
    20. @Dybbuk I’m the same! Resin not matching is one of my biggest pet peeves, I’ve ahd one hybrid before and she didn’t stick around. I hope it works out well for you though! I did have Luts and Lm normals at the same time before, and they were very good matches with each other.
