Mori 9 Dolls

Someone on Weibo asked if Lyra's normal will match Hayato's normal, and Mori implied that it will not. Mori did not explain how the colors were picked.
Mori also clarified in the comments on Weibo that the Universedoll white in her photos are Universedoll's beauty white (pinky white), not Universedoll's pure white.

 

It's pretty clear to me that nothing really matches save for the gray, which is the closest. >w< Swan White is closest to Universe doll's white, but USdoll's white is clearly a little darker. @Constance Thanks for pointing out that it was USdoll's beauty white. Mori's photo isn't great, so I was assuming it was their pure white when I looked at their samples.
I think at the end of the day though the easiest thing is going to be to just send the headcap off somewhere for custom matching, which is what I'm planning to do anyway if I'm lucky enough to win one. I'm not really a fan of any of the bodies Mori has him on to begin with, so I'll probably sit and wait it out in hopes that someone releases something a little better.

I've got a reminder set to send my email tomorrow morning and I'm hoping that the results will be more like the Hayato lottery and less like the Austaras and Veles bloodbath. My friend and I are both entering for WS and NS, and we're both like "oh no, I can think of far worse things to happen than accidentally getting stuck with two Lyras".
He's such a cool sculpt, I hope we can all get him

 

TBH I'm not a stickler on perfect matches since you can just have the head blushed to match for faceup and you can just edit it to match in any photos if needed, they all look pretty good to me. I'm not wild about the Universe doll body either. I know 2D partners with some independent artists who don't sell bodies to custom match for a body (but you make the order separately with 2D). It would be cool if Mori partnered with them as their standard muscle 75cm body looks pretty good too.

 

I think all of the samples shown match close enough to be blushed for a passable match, and I am a stickler for matching colors. Honestly, if your doll will be a hybrid, you just have to accept that 100% color match is basically impossible. It's just in the nature of hybrids. Anyway, I think the match between Mori's white and Soom's white looks good, but mostly I'm going with Soom because so many clothes are made to fit ID75's measurements. I like the bigger shoulders on a lot of the 75cm range bodies, but am not interested in struggling with sizing on clothes.

I really hope this lottery goes more like Hayato's, too. I imagine Mori also didn't enjoy seeing all the sad comments from people who lost out on Austaras and Veles. I would have liked to have a friend put in for Lyra on my behalf to increase my chances, but sadly I'm not in a position financially to buy two heads if we both win lol. I'm really trying hard to mentally prepare myself for losing. I've resisted buying anything for him yet to prevent getting attached, but the truth is I am SOOO attached. Gah!!! Fingers crossed it's a big batch!

 

I'm also trying not to get excited for it since my default is to assume I will lose a lottery and also assume that this will go like Austaras and Veles T_T. I just really hope it doesn't go like their lottery because OMG, their 2nd hand prices even on Xianyu


I'm prepared to have to find Lyra on the 2nd hand market but I'm really hoping he stays in the Hayato range in that regard too. Basically, please just be like Hayato's everything.

 

Same here. Lyra is beautiful, we all love Mori's works but daunting about the size.
I did ask her in person if she would release more 68-70 heads in the future, she said she prefers 75 size

I couldn't handle a size larger than 70, especially for the boy sculpts. But we still have some choices from the collaboration with other manufacturers. I own a Huayue from Universedoll, he's very beautiful.

 

Oh I know. I paid big bucks for my Austaras However he was 100% accurate to one of my characters so I HAD to get him no matter what and I regret nothing!!! I love Lyra too but not to that level. So yeah if I lose the lottery and secondhand prices skyrocket, I'm out.

Darn! I already struggle with my one 75cm, and I feel kind of silly attempting to get another one. I don't know what I'll do if Mori keeps putting out sculpts I love... maybe force them to share bodies?! I would definitely prefer smaller heads but sometimes Mori's faces are too beautiful for me to resist...

 

Ah, same... I bought a JR Shick Vadim (and a Hyperon, though I'd been wanting one for over a decade ;; so that's something I'd sort of planned for, unlike Vadim), and now I'm vying for Lyra and wondering what I'm going to do with this sudden influx of heads that go on 75cm bodies, none of which I even particularly like so far. So I guess I get to wait it out a bit and hope for better, more varied bodies to come out.

I'm also hoping to get Doma once the details about his rerelease come out. 4 75cm dolls, likely all in different skintones... where do they even go?

 

Me and a local doll pre order shop I asked them to help entering the lottery just got an email from Mori. Both of us won Lyra so it looks like I end up with 2 Lyra heads instead of 1

I think now Mori is generous in giving out W to her lottery pre order application so I expect a lot of winners for Lyra!

Edit - My invoice was 0069. I first thought it was part of her name, did not realize it was the running number of invoice Mori sent lol

 

I won toooooo!



I'm so happy

 

I also won Lyra! I got Lyra in both white and normal skin ! Very excited!

ETA - I was around 115 (but I also didn't put in my order until the next day).

 

I won Lyra (invoice 103) and so did my wife! I wonder if there were few enough entries that everyone got one?

 

I won mine also!!! I'm so happy and relieved!!

If Mori is going to do bigger editions so that most people or even everyone wins, why not just do a preorder instead of a lottery?

My invoice was number 0097. That seems to indicate a lot of winners!

 

I also won Lyra! I’m glad more people are winning. My invoice was 114.

 

I won too Invoice 0086

 

Oh, had to go back and check the number. I was 99.

That's exciting. It will be very nice to see Lyra around.
Congrats everyone!

 

I was 102!

I’m really excited. I accidentally bought a large 1/3 bust stand for a LUTS sdf head that ended up getting a body of his own ANYWAY, so… Lyra will go live on the bust stand when he gets here. I’m so excited to do his face because he looks SO different to the rest of my collection :3!!!!

 

Interestinggg, I had thought there must be ~100 winners, but all of ours are between 80 and 120. Maybe the invoice numbers continued from Mori's last lottery! :0

Not that it matters! I've just always been curious about how many heads are made

 

I also got to order! Coincidentally, my invoice was 105 which is also in the 80-120 range

 

I'm in too, invoice 117 got a grey and a white... me and my twins.... I'm so glad, he has such a beautiful face.
