Lumedoll Mature Mini discussion Part 1

LOL! I am trying.

 

@Iron_Dog - I also have a Soul Vito, Idealian51 and Lumedoll Meissa. (No DC, sorry.) In descending height for comparison, back row left to right: Soul Vito, Idealian51, FID, Soul Kid, Model Delf; front row left to right: JID, Lumedoll Meissa, WithDoll, Dollmore Dollpire.


I think your main issue will be head size. Vito, Idealian51, Soul Kid, Model Delf and WithDoll are 6-7, Lume and FID are 5-6, JID and Dollpire are 7-8.

 

They all look awesome. Great faces, and outfits. Thanks for sharing them here.

 

Thanks @animemom - I made the elf costumes. (I explain the discrepancy in their head sizes by saying they're from different races of elves.) Everything else was purchased except for the top my Model Delf is wearing, which I made.

 

Well you did a fantastic job on them all.

 

@vermont chick : sorry for the delayed response. I didn't get a notification *frowns*. I like the look of the Lume Meissa with the Vito as the Lume boy is supposed to look fairly small and delicate next to the Vito.

Another quick question if you don't mind, what size of eyes are you using in your Lume boy? The Lume site says he takes 6mm. I'd like to get him eyes without whites and saw a pair of 8mm I really like but they're not offered in a smaller size. His entire eye being taken up by the colour is my objective but in your opinion, would an 8mm be too large to sit properly in his eye well (i.e. is it a deep or shallow well)?

 

I'm pretty sure he's wearing 6mm--the iris is too small to be anything else. I think you could fit an 8mm in the eye well. I can't check easily--the inside of the head is quite small, there's a large S-hook and an excess amount of elastic nested in there. I took it all apart once when I painted him but I haven't had the heart to do it again. Even though I replaced the S-hook with a smaller one, it's still really crowded in there.

I don't always get notification of responses, either. Some glitch in the system, I guess...

 

@vermont chick Thank you for the info and thanks for the pic previously. it was very helpful. My Lume Lights have their heads crammed full of elastic+hook so I get where you're coming from. I guess it's a thing for the Lume dolls? Once I got the eyes in my boys (they wear 4mm I think), its a total nope on changing them as it's just too much of a PITA.

Hmmm. So now I need to decide on whether I want to take the chance on the 8mm (which wouldn't work for any of my other guys in case they didn't sit right) or play it safe and continue my hunt in the 6mm category. There's only the one pair of the eyes I like available so.... I wish I wasn't such an orderly person at times since this doll purchase (the doll, not the eyes) wouldn't happen until maybe Xmas at the earliest if the dolly gods favour me and my bank account. The wig I want for this guy is also limited so if I want it, I need to grab it now *head desk*.

 

Hi all, does anyone have them wearing jointed hands or would they be too small to wear?

 

Hands are to small. Sorry.

 

Ugh! I have to replace my former Photobucket pics. Meanwhile, here's a shot of Meissa and Creature Doll Lucia at a meet-up last Saturday.

They look fantastic.

 

They look so good! I'm still deciding the look and style to my Tyl

 

Thanks! Meissa happily gave up his wig so Lucia could wear it. He has a new short wig from Luts, which didn't fit the FID guy I bought it for. It's like musical chairs, but with wigs.

Hope you find a look you like for your Tyl, @kiwae.

 

Thanks, making a couple of coloured wigs before deciding then I can make the decision of the eye colour and tattoos. Got him mostly for his legsHe stands super well and all his poses are... rockstar-ish? Sassy? Yall know lol

 

My Atik is slowly coming together. He even has shoes now! Though I had to sacrifice two needles-- next time I'll have to either invest in a tiny awl to punch holes with or try just gluing the leather instead.

I tried my Delta's lamb fur wig on him for a lark and he outright stole it, so I guess it's his now. It suits his "perpetually looks like he's just rolled out of bed" aesthetic.

It was a total bear to get his hand to stay up there long enough for a pic. He desperately needs to be sueded, but I'm just...so lazy...

 

He looks awesome @sugarbeta great job on wig, boots, and the photos.

 

Lumedoll posted on their website the last preorder dates. Not sure if it means then no more or if she'll just space the orders farther apart. She has started the new project, but no photos yet.

 

I dunno if it still applies, but when I asked her about... 2 months ago if the wording of final order meant gone forever, she replied that it was just for that order period. If you check through past FB postings about "final" orders for dolls it seems to be the language used and not the final as in discontinued term. Somebody would need to confirm this though to be 100% sure.

 

The 1/4 line is being retired, according to her website, so Final really is the last sale, disappearing in 2 weeks and then gone. It looks like this was the last size she had going. A smaller (30cm?) line disappeared; she also discontinued a larger size. There's no explanation on the website, just a link to the Giddeous Project of articulated figures.
