New Lati Yellow dolls

These little guys are just too cute. I plan to order one when the ordering period opens up. I do have a couple of concerns.

The magnets that hold on the feet and hands, do they do a good job or do the hands and feet fall off a lot?

What clothes and shoes fit the 16cm size the best?

What clothes and shoes fit the 20cm size the best?

Thank you in advance for your help!

 

The magnets hold them quite well but you can knock them off if you put their clothes over them and I wouldnt really hold them by the magnetic parts because they are strong but not strong enough to hold their full weight.

Clothes for 16cm: There is a doll from the 70's called Tutti that was Barbie's little sister, I have found that some of her clothes fit. Some Pipos Rooney style clothes fit. Other than that its just stuff on Etsy for Lati Yellow.

I think that 20cm is even harder to dress because they are taller and there is not as much available for them on Etsy. Also the 20cm dolls dont have interchangeable hands so some of the fun stuff you get with the 16cm like the pointer finger and fist I dont think you get with the 20cm SP body! (or if you do get them you have to restring those hands and they are not magnetic)

16cm fit in alot of Riley Kish shoes and also some of my Blythe Princess Sara shoes fit but with socks.

20cm Have huge feet, I have NO Idea what fits them since I dont have that size body.

Hope that helps and I hope you love your Lati's I have been over the moon with mine

 

I like the Riley shoes for my Lati's . I also alter Ellery Kish patterns for them. I don't have Ellery, so I have never tried her actual clothes, but they are supposed to fit.

 

Thank you both so much! I have so many items, props, clothes, etc, from my Riley Kish days that I thought the little yellow Latis would be a perfect bjd. I will start out with the 16cm one and if I am head over heels with her, I will go for the bigger one as she will need a big sister or brother! Now to decide which one to start with......

 

What is the difference in the renewal body and the older body? Is it just the magnets ? I see clothes that say they fit renewal body...whats the difference?

 

Good questions, I wonder if only the yellow edition has the magnets but if they make the hands look funny I wouldn't want that, anybody have some photos to share showing the magnets in the hands & feet?

 

Does anyone know how fast the ordering period sells out/lasts once the restock is complete? I want to buy a basic special Byurl, but will I still be able to get one by October? (or does the ordering period close in less than a month?).

 

I don't think the ordering period ever last a month these days... More like three weeks max, I think...

 

I ordered my Byurl (no face-up) on July 5th and the doll arrived August 6th. The magnetic hands and feet are great.

 

That's pretty quick, I just hope they don't ship out my clothing/wigs order before I can order my Belle & combine the 2 orders. I would love to get a yellow too but can't right now, have to wait until next year because I've been breaking the bank buying Puki stuff.

 

Whoops. Sorry, posted in the wrong thread!

 

Oooo They are very pretty!

 

Hello! I am new here.... I dream of such doll too.

 

Not sure if this is the right place to post as I'm new here and fumbling around a bit....but how in the world do you decide? I don't have any bjd's, just blythe but I am really wanting a lati yellow.

I either want a lami, lumi or byurl but I just can't decide. And is Byrul new? I can't seem to find as many pictures on flickr. I'd love one with pigtails and bright eyes but I'd love to see more photos first.

I'll probably just leap in and go with whatever is striking me that day but I'm so nervous I'll pick wrong and then won't be able to find the one I want!
Thanks in advance for any opinions or tips!

You're right,it is hard to decide which one to get. I guess it all depends on your taste. I like the happier ones best,but they are all sweet.
Have you looked at the official website,they have some pictures that people have sent in. try this link: http://cp.latidoll.com/2005_en/index_main.htm?mode=pboard_pre2
Hope that helps.

 

I think the best way to really get a sense of which one you like best is to look at owner pictures. Flickr has a HUGE community of lati yellow owners. I usually search by each of their names in turn. eg: "lati yellow cookie". Also looking through the flickr groups for each of the different molds is helpful cuz sometimes people who's albums are private post pictures in there.

and yes, byurl is new. He/she was just released this past summer i think. I would LOVE a byurl, but my heart is set on a special version cookie. I want the kitty version, but I'm also hoping that the new rabbit version is just as cute. Unfortunately the special versions (like the kitty versions and the tan dolls) are limited and therefore difficult to find.

 

The renewal body makes the doll 16cm tall while the special body makes the doll 20cm tall. They are just trying to suit different people. They use the same head, foot sizes etc. will also be different so you'll need different shoes as well as outfits. But wigs and eyes all the same
Hope that helps!

I don't think that's what LadyCrow meant. There was an older Lati Yellow body before they came out with "renewal", I found this on Flickr showing an "old body" next to "renewal". I can't see that much of a difference, except another joint on the upper leg. (anything else? please correct me if I'm wrong )

 

Thank You Princess, yes that is what I meant. I'm getting a renwal body in a few days,so I will know first hand. I know the SP is taller, but I'm not sure what the difference is in the old and the renewal body. I'm hoping they can still wear the same clothes. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

WOW you got lucky.. I ordered my Miel Jun 15th and he didnt arrive until August 14th! and I didnt order special makeup or anything!
