ZuZu Delf Discussion Part 5

Are the limited sculpts available for order right now too? I can’t tell

 

Yes, if you select Zuzu Delf with special skin, lots of head types and skin colors are available.

 

Just went to check myself and was about to post that. Well, now I have things to consider.

 

Hello! Does anyone own a Zuzu delf Miyo? Im so torn between Rumi and Miyo so if anyone would like to post some pictures Id be super grateful!!

 

I’m so tempted by the fantasy colors…but also nervous about how some of the red/pink based shades might age?

 

Might be something to start a request images thread for. Almost all the zuzus I've seen pictures of on instagram are white. (Considering grey, mint grey, and a brown shade for various purposes, here.)

 

I worry about that stark ‘Zuzu white’ too, haha. I’ve never liked the way paper whites yellow. I reckon realskin white would age relatively gracefully…same for realskin brown and anything grayish or blue (because yellowed blue just equals teal). I’ve seen one picture of an old lavender Zuzu somewhere in this thread and she’d gone quite grey, but not in an unattractive way. I would definitely be curious to see aging progressions for strawberry pink or any of the redder toned tans.

But I also kind of feel like anthro dolls have more wiggle room than human dolls to go funky colors and not look too off—it’s not like there aren’t plenty of animals in the world with grayish or yellowish coats!

 

I'm probably weird in the fact that I'm okay with Aurum yellowing and in fact considering trying to dye her, at least in part. The yellow airbrushing on the zuzu white looks great, but even with multiple coats of munitorium, it still likes to chip/scuff. But unfortunately outside this thread and the instagram tag, finding pics of older zuzus seems difficult.

 

I have a Mong in light tan from 2020. If I look very closely, it looks like the red shade has faded very slightly on the exposed parts, but the change is very small and hard to see.

 

I have a Miyo in orange! She's a super cute little kitty This is from her opening when she arrived, since apparently I haven't uploaded any newer photos of her...

 

Thank you!! I was thinking about the orange resin to make a bjd version of my orange tabby cat! She is perfect!

 

She's a very good cat! I got her to be a BJD version of a cat I had in high school; I need to go digging up photos of said cat so I can start planning her blushing.

 

Wah!! I’m ready to pull the trigger on a Truffle but still waffling over colors! Can I request pics of some older Zuzus in various colors? I’ve only ever had NS dolls before so all the colors I’m considering are new and scary to me, aging-wise

 

I understand your fears of fantasy colors aging over time, but from my personal experience I can assure you that I’ve pretty much had all the colors (from various companies) and they’ve all either stayed as new, or perhaps faded only slightly to a lovely shade. Back in the early days of this hobby such things were an issue, but resin colors are far more stable these days, and if there is a change it is barely minimal. Here is a grouping of actual Luts colors that are represented in my crew: lavender, zuzu white, tan, and even pumpkin orange. All are more than 3+ years, and some are many years older than that, and if there’s been any subtle changes, it’s not enough to even notice.

 

Thank you!! I appreciate the pics and testimonial. I haven’t been active in the hobby for…oh wow, 6 years. So I definitely don’t have any experience with the latest in stable resin technology.

I’m really liking both realskin white and lavender as options!

 

Does anyone have pictures of gray versus mint grey on actual zuzus? I like the warmer mint grey, but looking at how intense the bubble mint zuzu sample pic is compared to the cap color on Luts' site, I'm wondering how it actually looks in-hand.

 

Which wig size do Zuzus wear? 6-7 like YoSD?

 

The site says they can wear 6-7 wigs (I looked at that size wig and it listed ZDF, which I assume means ZuZu).

 

Someone sent me some pics of their mint grey and bubble mint dolls (not zuzus) recently and it was definitely not what I expected. Mint grey looked different in every photo, it was quite neat. Highly dependent on lighting. It ranged from a light neutral grey to pale blue to pale green. Bubble mint was similarly soft, but a touch more saturated with blue.

Yup!

 

Is she on the 26cm body?

I am really struggling to choose between short and tall Zuzu body...
