True Love Discussion Thread

I didn't even notice the different between girl and boy body joint. Thanks for pointing it out! I agree that people would prefer more flexible body for girl ^^

I'm also interested in little Ivan too. But I have to save budget for my 1/3 boys lol. Good luck with the little boy > w < // Hope you will get him very soon!

 

I’m waiting for an Aaron in normal pink. I got the official faceup so I’m hoping it looks ok. I saw a couple owner pics on Instagram and the faceup looked pretty close to the one in the official pictures so I went for it. Almost got the full set since I really liked the wig in the official pics but when I saw it on Instagram it was more grey than brown.

Their yellow skin in the official comparison photos doesn’t look like what I’d call yellow. It looks more like a very yellow-based tan (and not in a good way). It looks way darker than the pink.

 

I have a True Love Ivan head. He is in normal pink skin which is very pale and mellow, comparable to some companies white skin. (compare to other pink skin on the chest and hands here)
BUT he is very cute, and he was delivered in about a month.

 

I'm so glad there's a thread for True Love! I've fallen hard for Tina; I'm just trying to decide how to order her. I love the company faceup one the site, but I watched an unboxing video and the faceup she received wasn't nearly as happy as I had hoped, so I'm wondering if I should skip it and do my own. I also love her outfit and accessories, but I'm not a huge fan of the female bodies, and I can't just order the accessories by themselves.

As it seems there are a number of people who have been disappointed by the face up, should I save the money and skip it? I can do faceups myself, but it won't look quite as sharp.

 

^ I don't think the faceups are necessarily bad or anything but they're just not quite as nice as in the pictures so I'd probably save the $50 and do it myself if I were you + you bond with the doll more when it has your hands mark on it right? ^^ (or I do at least)

 

Thanks! I'm realizing if I want the accessories, I'll need to order it with a faceup anyway. I guess I can just plan on redoing it if I don't like it.

 

I ordered mine with a faceup since it was only $30. If it’s not very good I’ll just get a custom one done later. The owner pics I saw on Instagram for Aaron had a couple that looked like the company faceup and it didn’t look bad. The wig did not look enough like the official pictures though.

 

I just got message from newclover singing that my baby Ivan has shipped! My smol bean is coming home in hopefully within couple of weeks I truly love how fast True Love dolls get shipped after ordering, this took pretty much exactly a month from order to shipping notice.

 

I got my notice a few days ago too! I was really surprised since it was just under a month since I ordered.

 

Congrats! I guess they're still such a small company that when they get orders they'll get to working on them right away so there isn't much delay. Once they get more popular/known it'll likely slow down but before then we get to enjoy these wonderful non-existing waiting times.

 

Waah, that's one of the coolest dolls I've seen in a while. What exactly is Legenddoll, by the way? Newbie question, but I've seen it mentioned a few times. Is it a brand on its own?

 

Hi! Legenddoll is a bjd dealer website. --> Ball Jointed Dolls (BJD) company : BJD accessories, Doll items like wig, clothes, shoes and Eyes BJD-Legenddoll
It's a good place to drop by once in a while to look for various bjd brands (which I assume they're all Chinese BJD brand) > w < //

The doll in the picture (and all in this thread) is from TrueLove brand

 

My Nina came in! Well she did 2 weeks ago. I'll post a picture later as I haven't hosted them anywhere yet.

She's definitely thicker in body the other doll I have, and while I don't mind that, it means I have no pants for my poor girl and all the shops I follow deal in slim mini, and she definitely is not slim

 

Congrats on Nina! I've noticed that it's really hard to find clothes for girl dolls that aren't slim minis too, but if you're doing your shopping in etsy there's at least BJD clothes Curvy and Barbie clothes Doll clothes by WarenBJD who offers "bigger msd/jid" size!

My baby Ivan has reached the country, now waiting for the post office to make their next move and either tell me to pay the custom fees or deliver it to me. Either way I expect him to be home soon!

 

My Aaron came in today - he shipped out less than a month after ordering through Clover Singing. I got him in normal pink but he is very pale - similar to Luts normal as was previously posted. His faceup is not great as others said about theirs. The eyes and eyebrows look nice but he has more blush than I like and the lips are ehhh....Very orange and painted oddly. I can edit them in photos for now.

It was worth paying the $30 just so he won’t be blank until I can send him off for a custom one. One of his eyelashes fell off before I could even dress him and the other came off easily so they weren’t glued in very well at all. They are very nice looking eyelashes though so I will save them to reattach or put on another doll.

The resin feels nice and he was strung very well, maybe a little tight. He stood right out of the box. Overall I’m pretty pleased considering the price though I’d say if you’re capable of doing your own faceups or are thinking of sending off for a custom one immediately don’t bother with the official faceup. At least it’s inexpensive so I won’t feel too bad about wiping it later.

 

Aww he's adorable! Sucks about the faceup though >_<

My baby Ivan also already arrived and I'm waiting for warmer weather before I get to paint his face so he's sitting in his box waiting for now. At least his clothes arrived so he doesn't have to hang in his underwear.

 

I just ordered my Tina!! I realized the reason I was so in love with her is she looks like a little Pokemon trainer to me. Now to find some scale Pokemon figures...

Did anyone notice they now offer 2 1/3 sized dolls and have a new body for dolls in that size available too? (still not possible to get the 1/4 body separately for some reason though...) I wonder it poses as nicely as the smaller bodies do?

 

I have seen their 1/3 dolls from dealer website too. The price is affordable for me, but both the faces aren't my type. But using their body for hybrid is quite tempting!

I suppose it could pose as well as their 1/4 but I can't put a finger on. From their promote pictures, there are only very basic pose...

 

I have an Ivan (1/4) and he's gorgeous! The resin is lovely, the poseability is great. I adore him! The only thing I will say is that it was not obvious to me in the pics that he is crying. Someday I will wipe the tears away. I love him to bits!
