1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Luts Delf Discussion - thread 2

Jul 16, 2014

    1. I'm happy to see the "hybrid" posabilities for this! But also holding out hope that Luts will some day release an updated male Delf body that isn't single jointed (and without that extra shelf thing in the joints), maybe doesnt only have a hip torso joint (ok with this if the joints are better tho), and now isn't just a smaller version of those uber muscular superior bodies Luts has been focusing on. I mainly just want more jointing options like Senior Delf male has while keeping the aesthetic of the Delf male body. I have plans for a male Aragorn but the only available male Delf body is a big reason I haven't went for him yet. :(

    2. Yes it's great! I also hope they will do one for delf boy too, I have asked them.

      I'm wondering if this means some of the male heads will fit the delf girl body now hmm.

      My Dan arrived with my FU artist and I'll be ordering Yuu and Joe soon, can't wait!

    3. I asked Luts about a new type Delf boy body 2 years ago or maybe more, and they said then they had no plans to do so. But who knows if they soon will, now that they created so many new lines of dolls. But I wonder for what reason they are holding back on making a new Delf boy body. I love the old school Delf bodies, but it would have been cool if the boys also got a new body oneday.

    4. I think guys below 75cm just aren't trendy anymore. If they updated the Delf boy body I'd probably get one but I'm not counting on it :pout:.

    5. I rather all my dolls have different sizes, and not just focused on one size over the other. If I'm going to have a background story for my dolls that also reflect the real world, going for the exact same height and size for all my dolls just won't do! Personally I find all sizes to be of equal importance as it help build a more diverse group of dolls. I find it disappointing and sad that what is trending is more important than giving all their dolls equal love. Those larger dolls could have some younger brothers, for example, and Delfs are perfect for that :)

      I currently only have my SDF65 Sweety Bliss if I count any Luts doll that will be part of his background story. I'd love to have a Luts doll of each size if I have room, so a Delf boy is definitely on the list. I have a CP Delf Juri B who oneday need to get a body. But I wouldn't mind though having him on the old Delf boy body since he's such an old sculpt. Still, I'd be really happy to see the Delf boys getting a little bit more love and attention!

    6. I'm mostly surprised they haven't updated the joints on the Delf male. It's still basically single jointed (those kip things don't make up for double jointing). They could release the exact same body but with double jointing like the Senior Delf male have, and it would be a much needed update.

      Forever cries about Baby Delfs only ever getting one limited elf head and one body option.

    7. Yes, I too really love the Delf boy body as it is, but an update of the body would be nice!

    8. About the new body and the promo for it - they show comparisons of a Senior Delf Muse head on the Delf girl body, but there are no Muse sculpts in the head list. Does that mean we can't order the body with heads that aren't on the list even if they're compatible?

    9. I'd probably just reach out to them on their Q&A board. Most likely they just forgot to add them.

    10. I am so sad! I saw a Delf Nina up second hand on Mandarake. Came with her original box and COA and company face up and everything. I have adored that doll for so long but can't quite afford her right now. She was only about 200 USD second hand here though, on the old type 3 body. I was immediately going to get her but then the listing showed her as sold out :( Oh well! She's available new on Denver Doll so I will save up and get her sometime this year or next <3 She's my grail doll, and the doll that got me interested in the hobby years ago. Until then, I'll look around here and admire everyone else's lovely Delfs :D

    11. By the way, I was wondering- is it easier/better in your experience to order from Denver Doll? Or from Luts directly? I'd imagine it's up to waiting times, international shipping (I'm in the US), and convenience; but I was just curious. Nina is about 40 dollars cheaper on Luts than Denver Doll, but I suppose that's because of processing and other things they deal with for you. Plus Luts offers the Peach color where Denver Doll only has natural, tan, and white. The peach is honestly so lovely in my opinion so I am kinda wondering if I should order off Luts just to get it.

    12. Ordering directly from Luts is much faster tgan through a dealer. So I'd definitely recommend to order directly. Luts offers layaway as well :).

    13. I have found that the time differences are not that much through DDE. Also, if you find something for sale on the Luts site, DDE will sometimes be able to order it for you if you call them or email and ask. They have always responded very quickly to me. DDE also has lay-away that is VERY easy to do! You can pay it off early, always see what is still due and when it is due and no waiting for someone to email you back!

    14. I second ordering direct. Mostly because every time I've ordered via DDE, it's added quite a bit of wait time. That said, DDE should be able to order a doll in peach. They don't have everything listed on their site but so long as it's available from Luts, they should be able to order it as well.

      Also I haven't shown her around a ton but I have a Nina with default faceup. Good excuse to share~

    15. Your Nina is so pretty! <3 Thank you guys for the advice :) I will have to save up for a bit either way, but the layaway option is very nice off DDE, and good to know if I ask they can do the peach! I ordered another doll from them and they were very kind, responsive, and helpful so I would be happy to do business with them again. But also good to know Luts wait times are not long and that they also offer layaway

    16. So I asked a similar question in the KDF thread, but now I’m curious about the Delf girls- does the type 5 girl body have much flexibility at the hip/thigh joint? My old KDF can do the splits, but my KDF type 5 is much more limited, and my new HDF is super stiff, which looks really unnatural. If I want my upcoming girl to be able to do casual, slouchy poses, would I be better off just dealing with the single joints on the type 3?

    17. Whoops I just realized it was the Delf type 5 girl body, not the Senior Delf type 5 girl body you were asking about. What I typed before is about the Senior Delf type 5 girl body. But! I do have the Delf type 5 girl body as well, lol. The hips are the same setup with the peg bar unfortunately. Much better knee setup than the Senior Delf type 5 girl body though. I'll also be getting a Delf type 3 girl body in about a month and can show comparison pics of the two later if I'm reminded.
      I just got a new (to me) type 5 Senior Delf girl in last week. She has the same sort of hip system with the peg bar as the Kid Delf multi body. Where the elastic does not go all the way from ankle to neck and instead the legs are strung individually/separate from the torso. Most newer Luts bodies seem to have those type of hips these days. Which is fine for most posing but they wouldn't be able to do the splits. The type 5 Senior Delf also takes this a step further by the legs are actually strung from hip to knee with one piece of elastic, then knee to ankle with another piece of elastic. A very odd setup and I'm still getting used to how the knees even bend as you have to pull them out before they can be bent as well as have to line up a metal bar to fit into a slot in the resin in the back of the knee. Overall I feel like her legs are pretty limited at posing, but the joint system is a neat concept.

    18. Thank you for the info! That’s such an odd system for the SDF body! Yeah while I don’t need a doll to actually be able to do a splits, I like posing them in casual/slouchy sitting positions, especially on furniture. Can’t really sit backwards on a chair if your legs are stuck at shoulder width apart, crossing legs becomes a problem, etc. haha

    19. I actually find the Delf type 5 body to be a very good poser once you get used to how the joints work. She sits really nicely in a slouched position. I’ll have to get some photos to share for you tomorrow.
