Popovy Sisters Glass Eye Magpie, Cuckoo, Little Owl, and Peewit Discussion - Part 2

skinton coral it is so cool, this color is excellent in the photo. Ivory is a warmer shade, perhaps over time it will be like baked milk.

 

Perfect!
I have a passion for photography and can´t wait to use all my stuff for my dolls.

 

Has anyone got any of the popovy bjds with a venus body?

 

I was originally not a fan of Popovy dolls ( I know, sad) but the more and more I look at them, especially their eyes, the more in love with them I become. I think I really need to bite the bullet and just order one because I think about them way to often and really only jumped into this thread to remind myself how beautiful they are and how much I need one haha

 

I thought they were too skinny but saw some interesting photo shoots and that drew me to them. Would really love a popovy and one with the venus body, but not possible right now sadly.

 

I chose to order Body III because I want to create the most possible poses.
I recently read that the Venus body solid torso is harder to pose with.

 

I ordered mine in June, so now the wait begins!

Can someone post a pic of the inside of the head and headcap for me? I'm curious what the eye and hook situation is like.

 

Has your doll arrived yet?

 

Anyone here wanting to share a picture of your doll?
Who´s also waiting for their doll to arrive?

 

I have yet to bite the bullet in ordering a Popovy doll, it's one of my doll plans for 2024. To think that 2024 is right around the corner. This year felt like it flew by so fast. If all goes according to plan, I have been thinking of ordering a "phantom" skintone.

What's stopping me? Well, I was afraid of ordering a doll from Russia due to all the geo-political issues in Eastern Europe these last couple of years. Moreover, I bought a few bjds in 2022 and 2023 from other artists and my wallet demanded I pause on spending.

My other issue is that I am too covetous, and when I order a doll from an artist, I want to order all the extra hands and feet for more posing verstility, so that quickly adds up.

 

I was afraid as well! And making payment to Russia was a hassle as I never had or used a credit card before.
I wanted make up and all the stuff, but as they are pausing with that, I had to organize a cross shipping so Peewit arrives all dolled up in January or February.
Ah...the wait is real in this hobby.
The phantom skintone looks amazing! Do you have a favourite facemold so far?

 

When the sanctions against Russia started, I heard that some collector's dolls were stuck in transit for a long time. That was my main deterrent.

Igor and Natasha said that the sisters would not do face-ups and body blushing for blanks, as they no longer wanted to replicate their old work. Also, some of the outfits were open to commission in very limited quantities, as the fabrics often used were antique. Now it seems, the only way to get a dolls with the sister's face-up and body blushing is buy purchasing a full set girl or through the secondary market.

Yas, the long wait time is inevitable in this hobby. That's why it's always nice to chat about dolls with other like-minded folks.
Peewit, Cuckoo, and Landy are one of my favorite molds, but I find all of their molds very beautiful.

 

Oh, poor people! My doll being stuck in transit is my worst fear.
They still are doing full sets?
When I ordered my Peewit, they didn´t do ear jewelry and stuff. I have to take the matter in my own hands then.
What was the longest waiting time you had with a doll?

 

@Eresmia - Yes the sisters are still doing full sets, the last one auctioned was Lilli Pop. They are currently finishing theFeathered Serpent collection.

I have waited around a year for a pre-order, which feels standard these days.

 

I´ve been in the Telegram live auction and Lilli Pop went for 12500$.
Now I´m curious about "Ocean" and "Amazonas". I like their jewelry and Madonna bodies.
Waiting 1+ year for a doll is a game of passion and patience!

 

People who order Natalia Loseva dolls, can wait up to 3 years for a doll to be finished. This is one of those hobbys that one has to be patient.

The Popovy accessories are amazing and meticulously crafted, not a detail overlooked. Sadly, the prices for their OOAK girls are out of reach for most people.

The Madonna body is very seductive, I read in the sisters stated that the Madonna body is only used for OOAK girls at this time. The sisters said this is their new body modification V and hand sculpted.

Maybe one day, the sisters will allow people to order Body V as a blank.

 

Wow! Three years! That would be way too long for me.

For me the Madonna body has the best boobies.
I would love to order a body V one day. Gosh, on a Quetzal mold would be perfect. One can dream, haha!

 

At one point, the Popovy sisters had long wait times of around 2 years. The long wait time was due to them accepting commissions for blanks that included face-ups, body blushing, wigs, clothes, and accessories. Now, by keeping the pre-orders to mostly blanks and the periodical OOAK drop, it streamlined the wait times.

However, the downside is that it is very hard to get the coveted options listed in their catalog. Personally, I love the clothes and accessories from their Swan Lake, Royals, and Pupa Collections, but they don't accept commissions for these items due to no longer having the materials and/or no longer interested in replicating past work.

It's sad they discontinued the Quetzal face, the prices on the secondary market went up drastically for that mold. Hypothetically, if one buys a Quetzal second hand and then waits until the sisters introduces the Madonna Body V to the blanks, then one can make that amazing Popovy doll of your dreams.

 

Today my Little Owl came back from Great Britain and I can finally share this lovely beauty

Edited due to faulty assembling, her neck was upside down.

 

@Erasmia - she's lovely! I am always so charmed by Little Owl's pout. Congratulations on her arriving home!
I hope I can get faceups done soon too.
