Loongsoul 1/3 doll discussion Part 5

He looks super sweet!

 

@Veraverorum LOL he definitely does know he's cute haha

@quilleth thank you!!!

I'm thinking of tackling my leopard Ji Shui Bao but I think now that I'm staring at him that I want add some tattoos to his shoulders. His outfit is so complex and takes forever to take off/put on so I miiiight paint someone else before him haha. I need to work out his design elements. I'm thinking of a snow leopard on his back/shoulders for the obvious reasons haha.

 

Does anyone have advice for someone who wants to invest or purchase a Loongsoul BJD boy? I'm thinking about
Tao Tie Human Version-ChiYuan or 7 Stars - Greedy Wolf. Also what website do you purchase it from?

 

What kind of advice are you looking for? As you're thinking about 68cm-class boy, I suggest you take the new v2 body. The older one is actually closer to 65cm and it's problematic when it comes to clothes.
As for the website, my go-to is Alice's Collection acbjd.com

 

I have ordered from Loongsoul, Legend and Alice's Collections. I tend to check all three. A doll may be sold out at one site and available at another. Also there may different event offerings such as gift items and free or reduced shipping.

 

How to take care of the doll. Would you suggest buying second-hand? Is the face up fragile? And where to get clothes for the doll.

 

You might find the big bjd faq helpful when it comes to things like how to care for a doll, buying new or second hand, etc.

 

I have bought many bodies through Cloversinging too. I get my clothes (I have the old 73cm bodies) all over the place so no help there but I do have one Loongsoul outfit that I adore.

 

The faceup on my Cang Jue is secure, but both his eyelashes have fallen off (thankfully in places I could find them to reattach). His resin's great and he's a solid poser

 

I do really enjoy the loongsoul clothes, so if there's a chance, I try to grab them from the company if they don't break the bank.

I like Alice collections and use the website to cross reference the measurements given on clothes. Loongsoul is a popular enough company that people make clothes for their dolls, but not SO popular everything will be made for them; Check things like thigh girth. I haven't had this issue with loongsoul specifically, but it's good practice I think. I can't get taobao to work for me, but the company does have an official store on there if you want potentially cheaper prices.

Legendoll.net is also a website I have enjoyed buying from, I just feel their site takes forever to load and just a touch less organized then acbjd.com . Just an opinion though.

 

I like both Alice's Collections and Legend. But it's easier to find colthes and accessories frm a specific company on Legend. Stacy's Pink Ocean offers a number of sizes but will also custom make clothes to measurements you provide.

 

Alright a drive by Rabbit Fang Ri Tu photo carrying some Dollzone Tatas it's too quiet in here haha

I'm also hoping my Lou Jingou fullset won't take too much longer to ship because I'm impatient lol. Not that I don't already have a huge amount of unfinished dolls to work on

 

I don’t see too much about Loongsoul dolls all that often, shame since they are gorgeous. I got my Dan Ge today and he’s stunning! Just gonna share a quick pic.

 

@gwenithcoy He's lovely, congrats!!

Here's a drive by Cang Jue



I have to finish my two other Loongsoul boys and I have another incoming hopefully sooooon, so more drive by incoming haha.

 

I have 4 Loongsoul, but the desire to get the 5th is always there
But yeah, Loongsoul makes super pretty dolls

 

Discontinue After 2024.12.25 : BJD - Alice's Collections - BJD Dolls, BJD Accessories

 

I'm in mourning thinking that I won't be able to afford Doctor YouZhi after all. For a few years now I've had him in mind for Mu Qingfang (SAVE) or some OC because I love his face, but I always ended up buying heads here and there, and I always thought my first LS doll would be Cang Jue/Tian Gou (at this point I don't know if it's the same sculpt), and then I would get the Doctor YouZhi next if opportunity and economy allowed it
Does anybody know if they sell the heads (preferably with faceup) separately?

 

My Loongsoul family together.

 

Looking to get Wizard - Gu Shu Shi fullset next month. I am a little disappointed I can't get the face up that is in the promo pictures though. I saw some place that their Light Rose color is pretty close to Ring Doll normal? I wasn't sure if Loong Soul sold feet parts that let them wear sandals. Or if their dark clothes are known to stain?

 

I am going to find some way to order my boy on my birthday month (February) I don't want to miss the sale. I need my
7 Stars - Greedy Wolf Unlike a lot of my dolls already have his name picked out and part of his story written. I need this doll!

It's a little off, The LoongSoul light rose is paler the then the ringdoll normal. Ringdoll is also a little less pink then the the LoongSoul light rose. I got curious reading your post and put my Alice01 in normal, next to Leopard Ji Shui Bao in light rose.

I can take a picture if you want.
