Are you sure Hani and Hanael were both Petite Ais? As I remember it, towards the end of Customhouse's run, they released the smaller Bisou Ais, some of whom had names that were shortened versions of the Petite Ai dolls. Hani was the Bisou version of Hanael, Yuri of Yuriel, Uri of Uriel, etc. I never really studied if the Bisou versions looked like their Petite counterparts.
Hani was an Ange Ai. It seems like the Ange sculpts are the ones they're using for Honey Delfs, at least for Raffy/Raphael. The list of those sculpts is here: https://denofangels.com/doawiki/index.php?title=Ange_Ai @Azurielle I am curious..I'm guessing that Bisou Popo must be Raffy/Raphael, then? I never noticed it before, but when you put the faces side by side, she looks like the Ange Raffy/Honey Delf Raphael sculpts. I feel very late to the game!
So, these are the only ones I have worked out for certain, atm. I'm compiling pictures, but it's slow going as I work in the medical field and life has been crazy lately. There aren't a lot of pictures out there of some sculpts and towards the end, CH put out a bunch of sculpts I've never seen pictures of at all. Some aren't even listed in the DOA database. So CH tended to make big/little/littler versions of the same sculpts. Here's the ones I remember/have figured out so far. I know there are more, just haven't figured them out yet. Some of the other old time CH collectors might remember, but I don't know how many are still around any more. Junior/Petite/Ange/Bisou Uranus/Uriel/Uri/Uu Darin/Raphael/Raffy/Popo Eva/Gabriel/Gaby/? (I suspect maybe Lilly?) Darea/Hanael/Hani/Pepe Rania/Myuriel/?/? Hera/Ramiel/?/? Tera/Tia/?/?
I'm actually working on finding pictures to be able to attach to the DOA wiki. And info to update it because I'm finding that there are sculpts missing. Ive got a large stash of pictures so far. It's just finding the time to organize them. And there are still some I haven't found a single picture of. Yes, Popo is definitely Raphael/Raffy/Darin! I have had 3 of the 4 sizes of that sculpt and while there are some differences due to resizing, I suppose, they are essentially the same.
I'm sure you're right. I forgot about the Ange Ai. My Petite Ai is a Yuriel, which seems to be pretty rare. Uriel is much more common, but mine is a Yuriel with a Y. He's wearing purple in this picture. happytogether by Tea Rose Broadway, on Flickr
I ordered my first honey delf, I ordered Honey Zuzu Delf CORNI in body type 5. I can't wait for her to arrive!
Aww, she looks so cute! Love that new wig, fits her perfectly. Does anyone knows the head circumference of hanael version 2? will her head appear to be too large compared with other honey delfs? didn't seem to find much useful info on Luts website. sigh...
Does anyone have pictures of Anko? I'm considering her on the 31 body and am on the hunt for pictures of Anko especially any that have custom faceups!
I got my Anko secondhand, but I believe she has the factory faceup. I am working up the nerve to wipe her and give her a new one. First hardcap wig! by Tea Rose Broadway, on Flickr There are a couple more pictures on my Flickr account, but not a lot.
I've ordered HDF Pring in body type 5 with face up!! She's the first doll I've bought on my own so I'm very excited for her
does anyone have a Darae or Epi? or any other suggestions... i have long been trying to find a mini version of my SD doll Delf Nanuri 06 (doll in my profile pic) i had settled on maybe trying to track down a little fee lishe and doing some modding (since she had the eye shape and totally that nose.) but was curious about the honey delfs since he's a delf. XD
Wiping my Madeline's factory faceup. Anxiety inducing? Yes, But she is almost 9 years old now and her face is pretty chipped and yellow. She looks a lot less yellow after the old sealant was cleaned off. But ow my hands hurt XD
I don't think I've seen a Madeline blank before. I have a Sweety Madeleine with company faceup whom I've lovingly said has a very fish like face, and seeing that sculpt blank still makes me think fish-face. Old Luts faceups can be really stuck on there! I wiped a Luts faceup from 2011 about 2 years ago and it took a lot of work to get off. I ended up soaking some small cotton pads in a gentle cleaning solution (Windsor & Newton brush cleaner) and letting that rest against the head for a while to 'soak'. Only way I was bale to get the eye paint off.
I'll probably get some to try out cause i just cannot get her lips clean. she was one of if not the first madelines on here which is something I am just a bit proud of.
