Luts Kid Delf Discussion part 17

Oh my.. she is super cute!

 

Would anyone be able to help me with a question about the girl type 6 body? I want to get a new body for my Hanael as I’m not a big fan of the type 5 she’s currently on, but I’m worried about flexibility on the type 6, specifically at the hip/thigh joints. I don’t need it to be able to do a full splits like my type 1 can (which is likely aided by being loosely strung right now lol), but the relative lack of flexibility in the type 5 is annoying sometimes, especially when I’m trying to do more casual poses in chairs & such. I made a comparison photo of the KDF bodies I own & was wondering how the type 6 compares.

edit: I think this is a joint shape issue vs a stringing issue, but I could be totally off here, so please feel free to tell me if I’m just being oblivious haha. Hanael doesn’t seem too tightly strung & feels similar to Bory’s stringing, who is more flexible, but I don’t know.

 

@keiko-chan
Unfortunately body 6 (and 7 since it's the same body with smaller breasts) doesn't really pose any better than 5, the blue haired girl has body 6 and blonde is on the older romantic body.

I think it's because the legs are strung separately from the body instead of them going up to the neck. If you bend them more the elastic might pop out from its holder and then the whole leg would fall off so it's probably sculpted in such way that there's really no room to turn it that far.

 

Ahh okay, I had no idea that they’re strung differently! Thank you so much! Definitely just going to go with the type 1 then.

 

That‘s completely adorable (but don’t tell her that!) Teenagers indeed. What a great find!

 

I came back to this thread for all the cute horsies and centauries. I will never own a centaur doll but I LOVE what people do with them. It's like the best of MLP and Barbie in one.

@Mainframe110 Get a Bory! Get 5! Be like me! Get every Bory you can afford! Bory a Bory to the Bory for Bory day!

 

Between regular Bory, dreaming Bory, romance sweety Bory, and all the elf versions, I very well could have a Bory for every day of the week

I love the romance sweety head but I don’t think getting one in tan is an option, but of course the basic Bory is still adorable as anything I actually placed an order for a couple of different kid delf hands- one in rs Brown and the other in rs Light Tan to compare the colors. I’m slowing down on doll purchases this year, but I’m hoping to order my Bory during their summer sale this year!

 

Can confirm the sweety romance head is one of the cutest! I don't have any elfin Bory but maybe that'll change.

 

My Ttori came this week; they're so cute! I don't see many of them around; maybe their face is not conventionally appealing?
I'm debating swapping their eyes for 16mms in the same color (they're currently wearing 14mm which is maybe a little small? What do you guys think?).



I put a Yuz in my queue, as well... does anyone have one that they wanna show?
I think all my KDF wishlist is done for now (until Luts makes a satyr KDF). :3

 

@RinSetsua
I have a Ttori on a girl body and it is a very cute sculpt! Definitely one of the less shared but no less beloved sculpts. Please keep sharing!

 

Looks like Luts is discontinuing some bodies and they're in 20% sale. Just in case somebody needs a body or few for their dolls. For kid delfs they're discontinuing:
Kid Delf Body GIRL Type 3 Classic Body
Kid Delf Body GIRL Type 5
Kid Delf Body GIRL Type 5 Romantic Ver
Kid Delf Body BOY Type 3 Classic Body
Kid Delf Body BOY Type 5

Although on the English site boy type 5 doesn't appear to have lowered price and instead Kid Delf Body BOY Type that isn't even mentioned in the list does?

 

I literally just came here to make the PSA on this haha
Kid Delf Romance Body is also being removed.

It's my understanding for girl bodies that T6 is replacing T2 and T7 is the matching small bust option eventually.

This leaves us with (Girls):
T1 with Optional Romance Bust(I assume they are keeping the bust option just not the whole body option)
T2 for now (I think this one is the next to go given T6 & T7 similarity)
T6
T7

 

Well, shoot. In my last post which was not even *checks notes* 5 posts ago, I mentioned I was waiting til the summer sale to order my light tan Bory and another light tan body… Well I was planning on getting the type 5 bodies And it looks like the 20% off discontinuing sale only includes normal and white skin, so I can’t even get a discount if I order them before the end of March

I just put an order in a month ago or so, I’m sure the Luts employees will be confused why I placed another order when the first one hasn’t even shipped lol

Anyone else planning on picking up a body or two during the sale?

 

How would you guys rate the type 5 and 6 girl bodies posing? I'm considering getting a doll with either and while I think I like type 6 more, this sale offer is tempting me

For reference, my only other doll in 1/4 size has Myou type 3 girl body and I think it has okay posing. Not great but good enough. However I wouldn't really like to have a doll with worse posing than that.

 

@cocoasnail
I have a type 5 girl and she has decent posing. I've gotten her into some dynamic poses and she does all the standards (Sitting, walking, crouching, kneeling,) well. Do you have posing requests that I can try?

 

I would assume splits wise, the 5 and 6 pose equally awkward. Because they have thigh stringing. So I think you should get the body you like more, extra saving not really worth of you think you like 6 esthetic better

 

Thank you, sounds good enough. I can't really think of anything specific I would like to see.

And yeah, it's also true that I should get the body I like better! I'm just blinded by the savings

 

Actually, last night as I was falling asleep I thought of a pose I would like to see! It's the sitting on the ground with knees up kind of pose. My current dolls can only pull up their knees somewhat, the hip joint doesn't allow for much movement. On the company photos for the Luts kdf bodies that pose doesn't look very impressive either

I wonder if it's difficult to detach the legs for photos? As they are separately strung. I do that with a doll I have who has a vinyl body, remove the legs and secure in the right pose with museum putty.
