Luts Senior Delf 65 Discussion Part 1

My guess is that it refers to their old boy heads. The DF/SDF ones. Because back then they strongly pushed crosscompatibility and the old boys are also available on the SSDF body through myChoice. But I think now that the smaller 1/3 boys aren't popuplar at all anymore the newer heads (those for SDF65 and SSDF) are only made with these two bodies in mind.
And even for the old DF/SDF heads. I am doubtful Luts would market them as compatible with the newer taller and beefier male bodies now.

Edit: I forgot to add that I wouldn't put my SDF Howl head on a SSDF body. I can't imagine that looking good.

 

Welp I see, I guess I was hopeful since the heads like Eddy can be chosen through doll choice for the male SDF65 body and iirc that has the same neck circumference as the girl body.

 

I don't think it's the same neck circumference. The girl SDF65 girl body has a neck circumference of 9cm and the SDF65 boy body has a neck circumference of 10.5cm (same as SSDF).

The SDF boys have a neck circumference of 9.5-10cm (depending on the body) which is in the middle and explains why they could work on both the SDF65 girls (9cm) and the SSDF boys (10.5cm).

 

I see, thanks I got confused since the slim body has one of 9cm ig ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

 

I checked again and yes the SDF65 boy type 3 has a slimmer neck than types 1 and 2. The SSDF heads being available on the SDF65 boy type 3 I think happens because there's this old myChoice listing (which was probably made when type 3 wasn't out yet) and all SSDF heads just get uploaded there.
Sadly I do think it won't fit because of the 1.5cm gap. But I mean there's only one way to find out. Actually I currently do have a hybrid with a very similar neck/head difference and the gaping is very obvious.

But all that being said I do think Luts homepage is very crowded and the options aren't very clear. Probably a byproduct of them having been around for ages and their style changes through the years. A few lines have slightly changed in size.

 

I would guess that’s a typo, tbh.

ETA: totally missed laquaza’s answer!! Mobile browser is lame sometimes. Laquaza’s got it :3

 

Thanks for confirming for me, I may either do a Shell or Iplehouse Audrey for this particular character, haven't decided yet.

 

The Elf Diez event head is photographed on the slender body, so I'm considering also getting mine on that body. I guess it's pretty much decided that's the body I'll go for!

I'm fine with having dolls of the same size, but what I don't like so much is duplicate bodies. Irl nobody have the exact same body, so I prefer to have my characters different from eachother when it comes to what body they have, if I can. The slender body does look pretty cool in some pf the clothes I've seen, and a slender kind of elf character sounds like fun

 

I feel the same way, Manabu!! I'm like, "I have all these heads and an opportunity to get a body I've never played with before!" But then I get all scared b/c what if I get a new body and it sucks... And then I need to make a whole new set of slopers/measurements for the new body, too.

I *really* want a senior delf muse body, though. Does anyone here have one they can show pictures of? Maybe that should be the thing that knocks me over the threshold for the event =A=

 

I don't care so much about the posability or looks of a body anymore. Even if it does not pose all that well or look that good, I just really love having dolls of all kinds I do prefer the regular SDF65 body, but I'm excited about the slender body. Since it does not have the muscles the other body got, I see other possibilities when it comes to clothes. I'm looking forward to figuring out what clothing style to go for.

The Muse body, isn't it just the slender body but genderless?

 

One day I'll get there, I think! But I'm still early in buildng my collection

Yeah, I think it has a flat chest and a smaller waist than the slender body? So I'm curious about how clothes fit/how that affects or doesn't affect posing.

 

@Ashel @manabusama I actually got the Muse body recently for my Elf Diez and the other Elf Carmine head! I can take photos! I also have the Senior 65 Delf New Body Type 2 (slim) for another doll so I could do comparison photos. I don't have the slender body (I found it too slender) so I can't help there.

 

Oooh yes please tag me when you do!

 

Personally I recommend not rushing your collection, unless there's a limited doll and you have no choice but to order. I like to take my time if I can, as I like to be able to be 100% sure I'm making the right choices, and I also like to have a bit of bonding time with each doll before ordering the next one.

I like the idea of a Muse body but not so sure I like the smaller Muse heads. Muse Jean look very nice but the new Muse Ani look so pinheaded Or maybe it is just that the Ani sculpt look a bit off on a body like this. The older Muse heads does not look so bad on the body.

I can not wait to complete my Elf Diez , but for now I can only get the head with a faceup, as the original order I'm going to do next month is a lavender Delf Dan. I also have on my list a GSDF Mars that I have waited so long to order now that I should do his order after Delf Dan. So, I'll have to store my Elf Diez away until he get a body.

That would be great, thank you

 

I took this one for now @Ashel @manabusama I don't know if you need more photos or not but they are almost the same height, shoulders seem to be the same. The major differences seem to be in the jointing and the waist/hips and overall sculpting of muscles. Any other angles you want? (I have a Soom head on the Type 2 body, and Elf Diez on the muse body.)

 

I'm good I love the waist and hips on that Muse body, it gives me alien vibes! Now I'm imagining this body as an alien kind of character, or it could be a genderless shapeshifter character, or an angel

It's funny how owner images show way better the body han the official images does. I often make decissions based on owner images rather than the official images. The body look awesome, but for my Elf Diez I want him to have a gender so I'll go for the SDF65 slender body. The Muse body did give me some ideas though, but I'm not so sure I'd be into a Muse sized head

 

@manabusama Yeah I got the Muse body for my event elf heads from Luts. I like how it looks right now but I need to put clothes on them to see.

 

Oh thank you!! This is really helpful as a direct comparison :3 How does the Muse body do with sitting? Does it do the thing where it kinda leans back unless you push the upper joint forward? I think I vibe more with the Muse than the Slender but slender is probably more posable…

 

@Ashel That is a good question...I can take a sitting picture!

 

@Ashel Here it is sitting. I will say he is easier to handle because of not having hip joints but I suppose it does limit the posing (I don't do much outside of sitting and standing with my dolls usually).
