Luts Kid Delf Discussion part 17

I happen to have a Type 6 and gave the pose you described a try using only the built-in joint locks. It looks pretty nice. Anyone can view the album through this link, but at this time I am not making the images publicly searchable (or posting directly here) due to doll nudity.

I'll do a more thorough comparison with an older Luts body (I'm not sure of its version, shall have to do some research~), add more poses, and try out some of the ideas speculated above.

edit: I suspect the older body I have is Type 2/Multi, and more photos have now been added, comparing range of elbow motion and showing how I did manage to successfully do the splits with Type 6's peg hip system.. It's an effort not suited for those impatient or faint of heart

 

@cocoasnail
I tried the pose as described and it didn't work on the Type 5 body. I did get some interesting seating poses so I can post them but she can't do knees up. She can do criss-cross applesauce.

 

Thank you for this. Unfortunately, I can't seem to open it even when I'm logged into Flickr

That would be great, if you could post some pictures! I'm still just deciding on which doll brand to buy from exactly, so it would be a huge help with trying to make up my mind.

 

Awh, that's not very helpful of Flickr at all.. I edited the link to go directly to the first photo of the album, rather than the album overview. Hopefully it will work better

 

Thank you, I can view the album now! The body looks quite lovely.

I also like your other pictures, the doll with the teddy bear is so cute.

 

@cocoasnail
Pardon the mess but this is Mona in her crisscross, applesauce pose. That is as high as her legs can get.

Wow! What a cutie! Those freckles are so perfectly done…they look totally natural.

 

@PoeticSoul Thanks! She was face upped by Rykaan, who I don't know if they still do face ups. They did at least two of my dolls (her and her "father" ) and the faceups have lasted very well.

@cocoasnail HERE is a better photo with her knees pulled up more clearly.

Thank you for posting these photos

 

Does someone have a Kid Delf body (type 1? Not numbered on the website)? The one where the legs are strung through the whole body I mean... And can tell me how it poses? I'm not sure I leg the peg strung legs, it feels like it just might pop off if I'm not careful enough when clothing/posing

 

@Hikari-chanXx I have 2 KDFs strung with the old method (A boy on the KDF 1 if I'm not mistaken...he has double elbows and single knees, and a girl on the type 5) and they both are solid but not crazy posers. The type 5 girl can do a few things well (she can hold her knee up in more than one position, like she is walking) but the boy body is easier for me to manipulate (because I'm tired and arthritic). I have an MDF body strung with the peg legs and you are correct, it is very easy for him to lose a leg when I put on the wrong thing.

 

I'm definitely getting a Luts KDF but choosing a head is so difficult haha. I really like Ani, Taro, Loe and Pring. First I thought I like Taro the most but then I realised she has the same vibe as my Myou Martha, like they are both confident and sexy but in a cute way. I can probably close Taro out of the competition, I would like to have a doll more different from the one I have.

With Loe and Pring the difficulty is that I can't really find any owner photos. However they model a couple of clothes on the Luts website and they are both so gorgeous.

Ani has loads of awesome photos, here on DoA or flickr. I'll probably get her in the end, I loved this sculpt since I first saw her years ago. Or maybe I should just buy all four??

 

Bummed out to find out about this discontinuation. Type 5 is on my wishlist. Buying it now is not the best time for me financially, but seems I have no choice :/

Edit: ok shipping is $111 soooo maybe not, lol

 

anyone have a kid delf papaya? can't find any owner photos of her! im about to take the plunge and get back into msd with a muhwa and payaya girls.

 

guess not! i took the chance and just ordered papaya in peach and muhwa in white on the model delf bodies. i'm so excited!!!!

 

I'm trying to find a wig for my Rika, who has a larger head than my Basil. I tried a 7/8 that wouldn't go on, and then I tried a 8/9 and it was still a little bit too loose... Would a silicon cap help, maybe?

 

My wife has a KDF45 and we solved a similar problem with a silicon cap, yes!

 

I have a question for those of you that have the Kid Delfs. Is there a big difference between the:
Kid Delf Body BOY Type
Kid Delf Body BOY Type 2(Multi Body)

I can see the thigh difference in the picture, but what about the knee joints? Do both bodies have double joints on the knees? Or are they both single jointed on the knees? It looks like the standard body might only have single jointed knees, but there is no clear picture on the website of the back of the knees on Boy Type 2.

They body 2 looks very similar to the bodies of my Honey Delf and my Senior 65 Delf where as the standard body looks a bit clunky and looks like it might have single jointed knees. I would definitely pay a bit more for Body Type 2 if the legs were double jointed and the regular body didn't have the double knee joints.

Can someone please tell me the difference between the joints in the bodies?

 

Does everyone prefer 14mm or 16mm eyes in your kid delf?
