Luts Royal Senior Delf Discussion Thread

He is very much able to stand on his own! He stands much better in shoes and you do have to play with him a bit and make sure the chest joint is tilted a bit toward the back. I wouldn’t leave him unattended for a long period of time lol but overall he has the same general engineering that LUTS bodies have! He’s a bit tricky to get his joints to engage just because of his size and I’m simply not used to it yet! xD

 

Every time I see one of these big boys, all I can think about is that Saturday Night Live sketch with SZA.

That Vampire Abadon has no reason being that beautiful... a vixen he is!!

 

More later; I gotta get up at 4.

 

@green_judy Wow! What a beautiful sculpt! Congrats!!

 

@green_judy Can’t wait to see more pictures! Such a soft face and I love how his eyebrows have been done. ❤️ Congrats!!

 

I just received my RSDF doll too! It's Saturn
And ordered RSDF Abaddon Vampore version (x Because his head and hands are awesome c:

 

@tamara-ishihara Congrats! Lovely to see Saturn here~ He looks much bigger than your other dolls! Amazing!
And I'm so excited to see your Vampire Abadon! He is stunning.

 

@taykung yes, he is really big
And for information: there he is with my smallest boy - Iplehouse S.I.D (~65 cm) and my biggest boy - Loongsoul 80 on a platform shoes (~83 cm)

 

Ah, Saturn is so cool!! Thank you for sharing these shots. Has he started sweeping up and keeping track of your finances yet? He looks like he wants to

Seeing all these beautiful blushed hands makes me wish I'd gone that route too, but I know myself well, and I think I would probably have that blushing off their poor little mitts in a matter of months.

Note, I did have a problem with my Mars's headcap; parts of the thin resin flange inside the cap broke off somehow in transit, and were floating around in his head. I've emailed Luts to see if they can send a replacement headcap. Fortunately the main head (and beautiful faceup) are unharmed.

I haven't yet assembled and dressed my Mars, Aleph, but I already get a surprisingly calm, easy, congenial energy from this doll. It's hard to explain! Like yes, he's a Giant Man. But he's also a reasonable person

 

@tamara-ishihara eeee i love that comparison shot! It's so crazy to see him totally eclipse the Loongsoul boy! Also really really excited that you ordered the Abaddon Vampire. I'm obsessed with those hands too. That's so awesome.

This is so funny! LOL I get what you're saying though with he seems like a 'reasonable person'. xD I really hope LUTS can send you a replacement headcap but I'm glad nothing else was damaged.

 

A doll this big should be paying rent. It's a good thing you put him to work right away He's SO adorable, I love his gentle face!

 

Assembled and dressed: Meet Aleph.




A few quick phone shots, no color correction and not much by way of composition. Just... I love this Giant Man.

Spoiler: pic 2

I was a little worried he would dominate my small living space and be a bit shocking to my senses. I was expecting a degree of overwhelm based on those photos of Luts employees standing barely a head taller than the dolls or carrying them around like unusually lanky toddlers. But for me, there is no overwhelm. He is at ease in my space and fits peacefully into the environment, like he's always been here.

I'm besotted.

A few technical notes: the wig is great, but very tight; a proper stylist will manage it better than I did. Apologies for the slightly wonky eye positioning, I'll work on that. The clothes are very well-made; fabrics are really nice, and very thin to reduce the bulk you sometimes get when you make BJD clothes from human-sized fabric. Only one buttonhole put up a fight. The shoes are understated, but very well-made IMO, and very appropriate to the suit.

Dressing the Giant Man will be sure to prove interesting. While I'd love to see Sadol, FreedomTeller, et. al. take on this size, I don't expect it. While I do hold out hope for nice Royal Delf ensembles from Luts, I have begun my quest for Giant Man clothing in the clearance toddler/child section of the Saks website. I found a 100% wool Barbour pullover sweater for a really good price; it will need shrinking. I think in general pure wool sweaters might be the answer for the Giant Man: knit to fit, or shrink to fit. I hope that other Royal owners will post their kid clothing sizing insights in this thread as we go forward.

In short: utterly delighted

 

@green_judy Aleph is stunninggggg in that outfit~ His wig is lovely, too! I adore him!
And I'm glad you don't feel overwhelmed with your Giant Man.
Now that he's home, maybe he could help you around the house or go shopping for you?

 

@taykung I agree, this styling works really well for Mars. I'm giving him a few days to get over his jet lag before we discuss the terms of the rent, LOL.

Bonus spam that gives a little sense of the scale...!

 

I hope you're not tired of Royal Delf Mars

I thought I would share a few pics of the sweater I got him. This was a steal in 100% wool. I haven't attempted any shrinkage yet; it seemed like it might be helpful to see how a kid-sized sweater fits these guys. This is a Barbour size 6, the smallest they had.


The collar is out of scale with him, but I still think the effect is pretty good. If I do decide to shrink it I will need to be careful not to overdo it...

Spoiler: close-up

 

Oh he is absolutely precious @green_judy! Even with the loose collar, I think the sweater looks adorable!!

 

I think the sweater looks great. The collar might be a bit loose, but he's adorable in it! @green_judy

 

@overlordu and @taykung thank you so much...! I'm very pleased with this first foray into human clothing for his Royal-ness.

 

Wow, these Giants are awesome! But I do think they might be a bit out of my range. So pretty though.

 

does anyone know if there is dealers out there selling Royal Luts in long layaway? I would like to own 1 but can only do this if it is a long layaway. hoping for a 1 year layaway. Dollmore is soo flexible with layway wish it was like this with luts. Thank you
