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. @Littlebirdzoom Even after they take it down I think the site might still be access through the waybackmachine/internet archive.

    2. I totally forgot that was a thing!! That makes me feel so much better.
       
    3. @Littlebirdzoom usually website can run for a while until the subscription is canceled, and most businesses pay subscription annually. But I guess they don’t want people to accidentally order on the website after 2 months.

      My list isn’t that long and still it costs me over 1k :doh I wished their normal skin is on the pinkish side and not yellow so I can mix a bit and not all white.
       
    4. Is their WS easier to match? I thought it was the other way around. I see Volks hybrids that work pretty well. I got most of mine in NS

    5. @Littlebirdzoom the NS looks really good on their photos and some Korean collectors’ photos, but I have seen the non-edit photos and colour looks yellowish. In the long term I don’t want my dolls to look too yellow (like some old Volks). WS has a pinkish undertone and shines like pearl, especially Lm resin is matte so it looks nice.

      how does the NS look in your opinion? I have FL NS and I think she’s the only one with NS in my collection, but FL NS is kinda pink/peach so I’m ok with it.
       
    6. I contacted Alice's Collections. They will accept layaway orders, but for three months only. I'm going to contact Little Monica directly and see if they will accept a 3-installment layaway this Friday.
      Per their website, 3-installment layaways are 40%, 30%, and 30%.
       
    7. I forgot Alice Collections was also their dealer! Thank you for letting me know! I did ask in their Q&A section of Little Monica's site about layaway so hopefully it'll be good news.

    8. @Quinn.nnp I have some NS parts from LM. A Cleria head from 2021 and an old yellowed Harmony body.
      I can take a comparison picture with WS for you when I get back from work.

    9. Ok, so Little Monica got back to me and they're still allowing 3month layaway.
      Darn I'm in danger lol

    10. To be honest I have't had their NS in my hands for a while, so I couldn't comment. I don't mind the yellow look, however, and really love old banana Volks dolls xD LM normal does border on being pretty yellow though, from what I remember, but I also remembering it photographing better than a lot of other companies NS tones. I'm a bit picky with normal tones, some of them just look odd. But their WS is really beautiful too.

      I'm happy people are finding options and they're still offering layaway! I was pretty annoyed when DDE pulled the plug and told me they're not accepting any orders at all (although it doesn't surprise me :sigh I'm happy they exist, but)

      I hope everyone can bring who they want most home.

      Can you post it here? I'd love to see too :3nodding:
       
    11. @Quinn.nnp @Littlebirdzoom Here you go:

      I've also compared it to Luts NS because I feel they are very close. A hybrid would definitely work. Which might be good to know if you just want to grad some heads instead of whole dolls.

    12. @laquaza

      THANK YOU SO MUCH. That's so so helpful :D I'm extremely happy I can probably hybrid these boys I got onto Luts bodies, since I love their bodies. It's hard to tell between Luts NS and Luts Peach which one looks closer. They're more similar than I thought. What's your opinion?

    13. thanks @laquaza after your photo I'm firm on my decision on WS lol. I like the white pink look and can change the shooting light so it doesn't look too white.

      I got heads of Roselyn and Sophia in different expressions except the closing eyes ones. Still debating whether I should get Roselyn Secret too *_* Feel like too many heads with half-close eyes lol. I could have just order the heads but Vampire Chloe isn't on the list so I have to order full doll. Also need to push my order amount to reach 3k in total to get Monica head. Luckily I ordered 2 times limited dolls before so it helps somewhat but still :doh

    14. Has anyone asked about the VIP Monica head and gotten an answer yet? If they will still do it or add her to the list?
       
    15. @Littlebirdzoom they will send the head as gift if your total order history including this last sale is at least $3000

    16. Definitely NS. My phone camera sadly ate some of the red undertones. But yes Luts NS and Luts peach are extremely close. I can't reliably tell them apart unless I see them next to each other in good light conditions :sweat.

      I actually do have an anecdote about just how close Luts NS and Luts peach are.
      When I received my Luts KDF Aengdu in peach resin I was 100% convinced she was actually NS. I even had a new Luts NS event head at home but I compared them that closely. And I bought alternate hand and feet parts in NS for Aengdu (peach). I never noticed her hands where not the same color as the rest of her body :sweat.
      It was only when I got another KDF in NS and I took pictures of them close together that I eventually noticed the difference.

      [​IMG]
      KDF Aengdu in the middle is in peach resin while her fist hand is in NS.

      I might just be blind though. But to me Luts peach and NS are super hard to tell apart in real life. On camera it can be more noticeable.
       
    17. OMG yay!! That means I can get her I'm so happy. And very nice of them to do

    18. Sooo
      I am not owning any Little Monica dolls so far, but seeing that they close I am very tempted to add some to my collection before the chance passes :(

      Would you say it's worth to buy a body too? How is their movement? I am mostly looking at little harmony (girl) and harmony (boy) bodys.
      It would be easier to pay just the heads :sweat

      Does their white skin work with Ringdoll ns maybe? Since it is slightly pink
       
    19. I personally really, really don't like their SD bodies. The harmony boy body is my least favorite and I've had both the normal and grace versions. They just look like they can pose and don't pose very well. Unless you want their bodies specifically, I would personally look to hybrid. Just my two cents. They just aren't good posers. I ordered the Grace Echo body and the little echo body in this event and am looking forward to seeing how they work, because I do like the looks of them a lot.

    20. @Littlebirdzoom grace echo body poses much better than grace body and harmony body. Especially the elbow part and split thighs
      The thing is LM said all SD girl heads work with both harmony and grace echo, but clearly harmony body is smaller and less mature. Some heads, like Roselyn looks better in proportion on harmony body compare to grace body.

      I have grace echo body in cocoa cream and grace body in white. But I have to push my order to reach enough 3k to get Monica head so I got another grace echo body in white. I'd get harmony body if they improve the elbow and the chest part.
