Lumedoll 30cm discussion part 1

mdonline03, it's not just the clothing but the accessories as well. Since they are approximately the same size as 1/6 scale fashion dolls, a lot of the props and items are easy to get as well. Liam now has a tiny iPhone (which he stole from Ken) a travel mug for his 'coffee' and a cute pair of 1980s style shades. He seems to want a car, specifically this car. He may get one eventually.

Congrats on finding some shoes honestrabbit! I looked at some stuff from RubyRed Galleria as well, but nothing much there seemed to be Liam's style. I saw some cute girl shoes though. Looking forward to seeing some photos of the ones you got!


I've contacted the artist who I want to commission to paint Liam's faceup. Just waiting to hear back from her on that, and then he'll be off for his 'makeover'

Meanwhile...

 

Liam is way too hip…and you're so right about the accessories. I thought I loved my SDs but I think 1/6 is way more amusing. And I love the car! Liam needs it! I'm hoping to find a bicycle for my Murphy.

Here's Murphy posing in his overalls…such a silly guy.

 

Those overalls are amazing. Where did you get them?

 

SapphireStargazer Liam looks really good in that outfit- Hikaru might need to update his wardrobe!
mdonline03 I agree with you re. the fun factor of this scale- I have mostly SD and am having so much fun with my lumelights I second Iron_Dog's request about overalls, Murphy is awesome- love his scarf^^

Here are Hikaru and Arine hanging out in her bedroom:

Arine is wearing Barbie and a Ken beanie- Hikaru has a Bratz boyz singlet on, with Barbie headphones and Ken jeans. All their props are borrowed from Barbie (except the bean bag, which is a phone holder).

 

Thank you mdonline03! I agree... I do love my big dolls, but there's much fun to be had with really tiny mature dolls.
Liam may get a car like that some day, but he needs a few other things first (like shoes...and a faceup). I've gotten an email back from the artist and she's willing to work on him, so...yay! She's going to paint my Souldoll Lester as well, so Liam will have a 'travelling buddy' as they're both going at the same time.
Murphy looks so adorable in those overalls! Are they the Newline Miniatures ones? As for bicycles, I've seen a few appropriately-sized ones around, but it seems that they're mostly pink... Might make a fun repaint project, though.

Saba, the room looks great and of course Hikaru and Arine are adorable! I just love doll dioramas and room sets like that. They look right at home in there.

 

Thanks everyone……I love those overalls too. SapphireStargazer, yes they are by Newline miniatures. I've been looking at those Barbie bikes and I'm thinking I may need to take a spray can to one of them. I think it would be fun to customize.

Saba & Iron_Dog - I bought the overalls at Cotswold Collections, both them and Monkey Depot have them or had them. The scarf is also Newline.

Meanwhile Murphy will also be heading out to the "spa" next week - exciting…to see these new beauties come back all painted up but then again they look awesome as is.

Saba - I love the room and Hikaru & Arine are so adorable hanging out! I really want to get a little set up going. What did you use to build the room?

 

Newline has some awesome, realistic clothes for the smaller guys. I went to the site and saw so much that Dolf would wear. Fortunately for my wallet, everything Dolf needs was out of stock. But thanks for the recc for them for suitable clothes. I'll be keeping on eye on when they re-stock.

 

Thanks SapphireStargazer! I wish I could leave it up all the time, I would love to set up a whole house for them^^
mdonline I look forward to seeing Murphy's new look- I still can't decide if I want to get my guys face up'ed or not...it's a hard choice! Their room is just a cube in my bookshelf:

 

Iron_Dog, one thing though…the western shirt I got form Newline was rather baggy and the collar was pretty loose. So it would make a better jacket than shirt but I think once it's all tucked in it probably wouldn't be so bad but a little "blousy". I figured with overalls, they should be baggy. I'm still going to try some other stuff by them & other similar co's because it's so cool.
Saba - I think that's great idea to us a shelf in your bookcase. Time for book case shopping...

 

Do you have the slim or muscle body for your guy? I have both and there most certainly is a difference in them. The one who'd be wearing the Newline clothes is on the muscle body, BTW. I've tried various Ken pieces on him and it's a no-go however, they fit okay for the most part on the slim body. Naturally, the guy with the slim body can't wear normal pants due to his dragon legs but he can wear the shirts/tops.

 

Iron_Dog, I have the slim body...sooo I bet the muscle body would fit. I totally forgo you had the muscle body too.

 

Cool. Hopefully poor Dolf can get some new clothes in the not-so-distant future.

 

Some spam of my guys, both wearing 1/6 action figure clothes by Magic cube toys

 

Takhisis - those outfits are great and your dolls look amazing in their contemporary gear.

Couple quick questions - did you get your items from Magic Cube a while ago or recently? I of course ran off to check out the website and they have great stuff. It doesn't look like its been kept current though, so just curious before I crack open my wallet. Also the wigs look great they look custom or did you buy them somewhere?

 

Saba, I made a huge roomset for my 70cm dolls in the back corner of my office, which I leave up all the time. My dog has taken over their bed, but the dolls don't mind and are willing to share. I have a large shelf dedicated just to my dolly stuff. I was kind of thinking about making a little "bachelor flat" for Liam on one shelf and just leaving it up all the time. (Of course, Liam insists he's not going to be a bachelor forever...lol) I think it'd be fun to build a little apartment set for him the way I did with the big dolls' room, finding furniture and items here and there. It'd be like an ongoing project.

Takhisis, your two look great! What resin colour is the darker one?

 

mdonline I bought both outfits in the last 2 - 3 months, and they were via uk stockists here & here not direct from magic cube. Fits are ok, Arines top & coat are a little large & sleeves are a touch long, her boots are also x large but you can't really tell. Blaze is muscle version, pants & T-shirt fit great, track top is a little large in the shoulders which makes the sleeves long, the set also had moulded plastic trainers they fit ok to, but he is wearing the same ones as in post 85 even though you can't see them. Wigs are homemade tibetan lambskin.
SapphireStargazer Arine is bronze as far as I know as that was she was listed as on the MP.
Both outfits are really detailed, the tiny zips all work and I think are good value compared to the clothes made specifically for bjd.

 

I love looking at everyone's dolls. Thank you for sharing them.

 

I would LOVE to have an area set aside for my bigger dolls, you are lucky! Here is a cube I purchased from Target for my Lumelights:



Like you I wanted to be able to keep it up and just change the scenes when the mood takes me. I would prefer the squares were a bit larger to be honest, but it would do at a pinch! Unfortunately I found out after I bought it, that these cubes use formaldehyde in their chipboard which is not good for your health, so...outside it goes for storage^^;; Luckily it was inexpensive so no big deal. However I wanted to post a pic of it so you can see the layout- I like the idea of different settings as opposed to rooms of a house- Hikaru is at the beach doing some lifesaving^^ whereas Arine (who is still nameless!) is just relaxing with pizza

 

Thanks Takhisis! Super helpful…

I love the concept of room sets. I didn't even think about that I was so focused on having a more formal home situation. But the room sets allow for flexibility like you said Saba. I like that! And your dolls look so cute hanging out….bummer about the formaldehyde.

I'm hoping to have a living area set up in the next couple months for little Murphy & trying not to get too carried away with shopping for "stuff".

 

I finally have a new photo! Taken at night with my phone, but here's Yumiko-

At least she has her own wig now and a dress made for her today.
