Loongsoul 1/3 doll discussion Part 5

Oh my!
It sure sounds like it!!! AND THERE ARE SKETCHES/ILLUSTRATIONS INCLUDED!!! *heavy breathing*
OMG! I NEED!!!

Also it appears to be quite thick. Makes me wonder if perhaps some older releases are in it as well...

 

If that's the case, then I definitely want the book, too.
I think that older doll releases will also be in the book. Because the 'White Dragon Bailong' doll is on the book cover on the shown picture on Weibo.

 

@dragoneye1300 :P I think my 'old' is not your old XD Cause the White Dragon is not old to me
But I'm happy with more recent dolls too, so

(More JingLing, Farkas, GongGong, YingLong, BaiLing, Niantong, Tangyue, ShenLuo, TaoWu - old XD And yes most of these are old fantasy sculpts from the Ancient Legends Series *longing sigh*)

 

Well, the beautiful LS 'Ancient Legends' sculpts you mentioned definitely belong in that category, too.
Of course I thought of them (in addition to Bailong).

 

2 more days left, then it should be up!!! (at least according to my time zone XD
Excited? Eager? Meeeee?!... HELL YES!!!

 

My Cang Jue is finally ready...and I'm in Japan for another three weeks. Well, at least I can get him some nice wigs and clothes to try so he isn't bald and naked when I get home!

 

Congratulations and happy shopping show pics of your preparation haul if you get around to it Gotta see what you have lined up for your boy.

 

Thank you! Probably going to go to Dolk when I'm back in Tokyo because it seems Uncle size isn't super popular in Kansai. At least there should be wigs and eyes around!

 

He's stunning. So soft and lovely. Did you do his face up?

 

Hi. Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I did his face-up. It's amateur, but his sculpt is very pretty and delicate.

Unfortunately, I do have him up for sale at the moment, ...

 

So my Cang Jue arrived after six months and there's a slight problem...I ordered him in NY and his head is white. The mismatch doesn't look too bad in photos and with his faceup, but it's very obvious where his head and neck meet.
I've emailed Alice, who I ordered him through, and she's been great, but Loongsoul are on break because of New Year.
I really don't want to send the head back because I've waited for so long and don't know how long a replacement would take.
I would upload a photo, but Flickr isn't working right now.
Other than that, I'm very happy with him! He's on the 73cm 2-part torso body, poses really well and is a super solid stander. One of my Volks MSDs decided to buckle over and whack him in the legs and he did not move in the slightest!

 

Oh no!! I'm sorry you've had such a mix up!! I'm surprised they didn't catch it sooner because the colors really aren't super close at all. I hope they can get it fixed for you ASAP!

 

Thank you! I hope it gets fixed soon too.
Doll tax now flickr is back up:

 

Oh no, that's a bummer! Cang Jue is such a gorgeous sculpt
And yours is too although the resin mismatch

 

Yeah he's a pretty boy but this is how bad it is

 

I don't think its amateur at all. Nice dreamy quality. Especially as it seems a lot of people were disappointed with his company face up. What a shame you have to sell him. Must make you heartbroken.

So annoying when after a long wait there are issues. I get where you are coming from not wanting to send him back but on the other hand you need your correct order. Hope Alice sorts you out ASAP.

 

Hey all! Dropping into the discussion to ask how much give/wiggle room loongsoul outfits have? I'm looking into buying one of their 62cm outfits for my doll that is also 62cm. For reference:

(My doll)
Neck size: 10cm
Shoulder width: 13cm
Arms length: 23cm
Breast: 24cm
Waist: 19.5cm
Back length: 16.5cm
Hip: 26cm
Hip to heel: 36cm
Width of Thigh: 13cm

(Loongsoul 62)
Neck: 9.4cm
Shoulder width: 13cm
Chest: 25.7cm
Waist: 19.4cm
Hip: 25.9cm
Arm length: 18.1cm
Arm circumference: 8.5cm
Wrist circumference: 5.4cm
Leg length: 34.9cm
Thigh circumference: 15.3cm
Calf circumference: 11.4cm

They're pretty close, but there's notable differences in the arm length and potentially wrist size. Any thoughts?

 

The sleeves will likely be a bit short. When I took measurements of my LS62cm boy, the shoulder to wrist measurement is actually closer to 17.5 cm than 18, but the wrist (where a sleeve would sit, not the measurement of the joint) is about 6.5.

 

Ahh, so Loongsoul measures arm length from shoulder to wrist? That clarification helps a lot since some companies measure differently. The 23cm arm length on my doll is shoulder to the tips of the fingers, which means shoulder to wrist (I measured about 17.6) will be a more accurate match.

As for wrist size, good to know the actual circumference is a bit bigger for Loongsoul.

Thank you!

 

For the record I'm not sure where the company takes their measurements from, which is why I took my own to help with pattern drafting. Given the measurement I got and what's listed, it's likely it's from shoulder to wrist, though, which would be more helpful for figure out sleeve lengths
