Lumedoll 30cm discussion part 1

While I realize it would probably be rude to ask Eva why she's discontinuing the line, I'm almost tempted to ask anyway. They're such gorgeous dolls (and I have total bias here since I own 2). They also look great with the Soom fairies and unless you're pairing another fairy with them, you can have some difficulties finding them a suitable partner.

 

I am also very sad to hear the discontinuation of this size Out of all my dolls, I love my tiny Lumedolls most as exquisite works of art^^ Here are my Koit and Arine commiserating over the ending of the line:



Koit is an older doll in 'suntan realskin'; Arine is newer in urethane tan.

 

They are gorgeous Saba. What wig is that? I love it. Still trying to find wigs for mine....

 

They're lovely Saba! They really do look like they're consoling each other.


Look who's back! And he wants to give everyone candy.
Faceup v2.0 came out amazing, in my opinion. I'm super thrilled with this, and I think his re-done faceup might even look better than the original one. Also, I got a new macro lens for my camera, and Liam is the perfect 'macro' subject.

Thank you! Do you mean Arine's wig? It is a Parabox 4 inch wig, PW27-SHS_DB (Darkest Brown). Unfortunately I don't think they have that style in stock at the moment. Koit's wig is also Parabox, but I have trimmed it

SapphireStargazer Liam's face up is amazing, such detail in his tiny goatee, I love it!

 

Thank you! My mind is blown by the detail in his goatee too. The artist who painted him has a real talent for this sort of thing, I think.
As for wigs, I've pretty much decided Liam isn't going to have one, as I think he looks better with no hair. Now, if only I could get his head cap to stay on his head, I'd be happy. Does anyone else have this problem of the head cap not fitting properly?

 

SapphireStargazer- that seems to be a common problem with these dolls. My Elin, Yumiko, has a silicone wig cap under her wig to make her head cap stay put, and my Koit Elf came with some super sticky eye putty like stuff holding the back of his head cap down. BTW I think that girl would make a great companion for Liam!

I've sold enough OT fashion dolls online to pay for one of the two Lumes I want to get while I still have a chance to order them. Now to pay for the second as well....

 

Both my boys are second hand so I can't speak of new from Lume, but their head caps are touchy in staying on. Dolf (Blaze) has the touchier cap but they'll both come off pretty easy. I think the magnet in the head cap isn't as strong as it should be to hold the cap in place well.

 

I use double sided craft tape to keep the headcaps attached, as my dolls don't have face ups so I don't have to worry about accidentally removing sealant when I remove the tape.

 

Leo Pheonix, congrats on getting up enough funds for one of the dolls you want. That's a big deal. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can get enough for the other one as well. Yeah...putty in the head. Liam came with some clear silicone stuck onto the tab of his headcap too, but I scraped it all out before I realized that it wasn't just a packaging safety feature. I may have to replace it, because I'm not crazy about the way his headcap slides to one side all the time, particularly since he's going to be 'officially' bald.
haha Dollmore Cossette has been in and out of my cart four or five times. I swear I am going to buy one before this year is over. It's just too bad that she's off-topic for DoA because I'll never be able to share pictures of her unless she's with Liam or one of my other on-topic dolls. (Not that Liam would object lol. He'd be like, "Look at my gorgeous arm candy =D")

Iron_Dog, I'd say 'touchy' is a good way to describe the fit of Liam's headcap too, and I think you may be right about the magnets.

Saba, that's a great solution for dolls with no faceups who also wear wigs. Before Liam got his faceup, I thought he was going to wear a wig, and I had an itty-bitty silicone wig cap to help his headcap stay on.

 

>.< double post.

So wish Koit hadn't been discontinued earlier.

 

jwsmith Its so sad isn't it. I'm lining myself up to order a couple of dolls before they are discontinued. Would you mind posting a pic or two of your tan Elin? I can't seem to find any pics of her in this skin anywhere and I'd love to see it, particularly with her dragon :P

 

Hi Sapphire
you may want to ask a mod but I think cossette is on topic because they changed the ruling on the 16" dollmore FMD girls to be on topic http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php/575919-Re-evaluation-of-Dollmore-16-quot-quot-Fashion-quot-Dolls-topicality and in the same post it says "Please note that the 12" line of "FMD" dolls they produce have some that are made of ABS/PVC (the "Basic Gem"). These are still off-topic.The resin 32cm/12" dolls ("Kidult" or "Cute" lines on the Dollmore website) are on-topic, but where a sculpt is made in both versions, ONLY the resin version can be on-topic."
Wiki also says off topic "Dollmore ABS/PVC dolls, including non-resin dolls in the FMD, Basic Gem, Kidult and Cute lines (resin dolls may be on topic)"

 

Not quite finished, but Mr. Evergreen has new clothes-

Leo, Mr. Evergreen looks too cool! Lume boys wear clothes so well

 

It looks like I'll have enough for two more Lumes before they're discontinued!

 

I've just had an email from Eva to say my Kiran and Elf Koit are on their way home (They've been on layaway since November)

 

That's great news!! I still don't know if I'll be able to get another, as I've just ordered a Souldoll Lully (also being discontinued). I'm looking forward to seeing yours when they arrive, though!

oooh congrats!! That's awesome!!


So, today my office was closed and I was off work due to yet MORE snow. I spent part of the day sorting my bead stash which includes a random assortment of 1mm and 1.5mm irregular glass. I made Liam a tiny bracelet!
