Little Monica - Harmony Line (Part 3)

Just got the email today that my Sophia head with Chloe faceup has shipped! Gosh, it's going to be so strange to just open a box and have a doll complete without needing to set aside time for faceups, body blushing, mods, etc. Well, maybe she'll surprise me and I'll need to mod her head to fit the Luts body.

 

@Kimchi ahh I can't wait to see her!! I hope she arrives quickly and safely And you shouldn't need to do any mods for that hybrid! I have a friend who's tried out Luts/LM hybrids!

 

@Kimchi congrats! I hope you share pics of her, I am sure she wil be gorgeous

 

@Cuteasadoll glad to hear she likely won't need mods - I have more than enough current WIPs to keep my hands full all summer!

@Mayumi_Nyu I'll try to remember to take some photos after she gets settled in!

 

So, kind of upset right now... My Sophia arrived and she's beautiful, but she arrived with her default faceup and not Chloe's. Her default is something I could have replicated myself, so it's really just a waste of the $60 I paid. I was really hoping LM would be reliable, especially since I spent a lot of time making sure I followed their instructions to get the other faceup.

 

@Kimchi Oh no! I think you should definitely contact them, they sent me two left heel parts and immediately shipped out a right foot when they received my photos. I think they would definitely try to make this right!

 

Perhaps they would, but the issue at this point is if the trouble is really worth my time. I'm sure LM will want me to ship my girl back (only after I take photos, post on their QA, and spend several days going back and forth with them to work out a deal), wait for a new faceup that they could still screw up, and then wait again for her to get back and hope her new faceup isn't damaged in transit. In that span of time, I could just wipe her and give her a new faceup.

The part that is really aggravating is that there were multiple times during the creation process this mistake should have been avoided/caught. The special faceup type and my order comments are even listed on the receipt that came with the package!

Alright, I think I'm going to stop venting and try to be more productive. Her faceup is quite pretty, even if it's nothing special, so I'm going to at least put her together and see if it makes me feel any less vindictive.>.<

 

@Kimchi Yeah that would be a lengthy process :/ I'm so sorry that happened! I was really looking forward to seeing the faceup translation on Sophia's sculpt!

@Kimchi Maybe they would consider refunding you? Because you didn't get what you paid for. I understand how hard it is to lose money like that since you're going to wipe her. I just hope they'd refund the whole $60 and not the $5 Other Type Faceup upcharge

 

Yeah, me too!>.< Oh well, lesson learned. I'll still try to get photos of her once I'm feeling less pissy. Her head does fit well on the Luts body, though! I also do like her with 14mm eyes.

My experience with doll companies tells me they would go the cheaper route. I guess I would feel bad asking for a full refund, too, since someone did spend their time doing her faceup (and I am intimately aware of how long and painful the faceup process is). I won't wipe her until I know for sure if I want something different. Like I've said, her faceup is pretty, but the initial shock and aggravation is definitely acting as a barrier against me accepting it.

 

Sorry for the double post, but I thought I'd share a photo of the troublemaker. Her name is Gwendolyn, which I think suits her aesthetic very well! Also, I love the Sophia sculpt even more in real life - I can't believe it took me so many years to bring her home!

 

Oh wow, she is really beautiful! Sophia is such a great sculpt and I really like how you styled her. I'm sorry you didn't get the faceup you wanted :[

 

@overlordu, thanks! Her faceup is growing on me. It's more melancholy in real life than in her promo photos, which is what I was wanting originally with the Chloe faceup (that and the blue/purple undertones). I can't really visualize what she would have looked like with the Chloe faceup, so it makes it pretty difficult to dwell on what could have been.:P

 

My nature couple is getting cuddly

 

Adding to the Sophia spam with my girl Jinhee

I think the punk style suits her, but she's definitely going back to her usual Aomoji/Larme style after this
@Kimchi my girl has the default Sophia face-up, and it looks pretty different from what your girl has?

 

I am in love with all your sophias! She is inmy wishlist but she will take a looong time to arrive my home, so please, keep the spam of your amazing girls.

 

@Mayumi_Nyu hey thanks :3
Since you asked~ I have some camera raws of Jin in her Volks apron set! As soon as I get those off my camera, I'll spam you another photo.

 

Oh my gosh Rain won the photo contest I was just scrolling through instagram and there she was!!

 

@faireva thank you it's not permanent, but I do like it a lot on her!

 

Lol every time I decide to post on here it gets eerily quiet... XD
I've missed looking at LM dolls, so I'd love some spam of your pretty girls :P
(I don't bite, in case you thought I did haha...)
