Thanks for posting this, Almy san! When I saw it, I was able to order the Luo Qing 60cm male they had that day, and he just arrived today.

I must say----I don't see ANY problems at all with him, aside from the chipped knee. The resin is solid and nice, the poseability is great (semi-jointed fingers!), and the sanding is fine.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with him yet, but I couldn't help but want him at such a great price. I'll probably resell the head---I'm not loving the sculpt. It's nice but not my style. The neat/funny thing about it, is that his EARS are separate! They are magnetized---I guess to 'switch' out for other types of ears? :)

The skintone is nice---it's not quite as pink as AOD NS-P.....it's almost exactly like Obitsu WS, just a teeny tiny tad (I mean barely anything) more yellowish and bright? But not even really. I have a brand new Haruka WS head unopened in package next to the body and it's a near perfect match, with the Haruka head being a miniscule amount darker, maybe? But it's sooo close, it's hardly noticeable either way.

Image

It's not a too terrible match either with AoD NSP, so I might put my leftover Aod head on him. The AoD NS-Y is too dark and yellow for the YuHao skintone, so I'm glad this head is NS-P.

Image

The resin quality is really good, so I'm not sure why MoC is discontinuing them? There are no bubbles or anything on him---he's perfect apart from the chip. (Which isn't a YuHao quality issue, rather a shipping problem?)

Maybe this particular one is just really good, but I have absolutely no complaints at all. He's a well made BJD and of nice weight and great posability. (Those jointed fingers are AMAZING!!! I never liked full jointed hands---I always think the dolls look like robots with them ^^;; but these just being jointed at the one point, really works well and they still look human!) I'm really loving his hands....

Anyway, I'm really glad I bought him----I already fixed the chipped knee and now just deciding who he's going to be!!!!

Since MoC still seems to have Tart in stock, I want to get her. She doesn't seem too bad, and even if I'm afraid of sanding because of the toxic stuff, it seems like it can be covered up by some clothes. I don't think the factory face up (or at least the face up in the stock photos) are exactly appealing, but I think that can be fixed if one buys her blank and does her face up themselves (or commission).

(Maybe I can ask for one in Christmas? If they're still in stock by then.)

Since they are so low in price and not to be continued I'd be surprised if MoC still has them in stock in a month.

well...I guess if I repaint and put my old barbie's lil heads (and bodies) up on e(vil)bay and it sells, for a pretty good price, maybe I can get some money. However, Little Dal Tulip might "run out" soon and I don't want that. But Tart might go soon as well...argh I'm torn. Unless I find a way to fall out of love of either one of 'em, this is not going to work.

Little Pullips and Dals are pretty cheap, but right now, I'm afraid to make even a small purchase, because being a newbie is expensive..

EDIT: I think Ms. Princess Tulip is going to have to go to baaack of my list because I will madly save up for a Tart. And if that doesn't work and Tart runs out, AND Princess Tulip is still in stock, sure, I'll have nuff dollieh money to get a Princess Tulip and possibly a ImplDoll head *has been digging ImplDoll since seeing a steampunk style doll in the Lauretta sculpt*

You can do layaway for MoC, I started out doing that for Luo Ji, and with a few extra things she was only $20 a month, so you could always do it that way so you'd at least have one?

Well, if I do some repainting or rerooting and enhancement on my Jenny clones and a barbie, and they sell for about $30 each, I will be happy. Really.

Way to make me want the hands, but a big doll isn't in the budget right now. I'd love hands like that for the twins, or at least Jareth, but he's Dollzone yellow.

Hmm I'll check the YuHao Taobao to see if they sell the hands by themselves.

Oh my gosh, Kim-san!! They are AWESOME!!!! I'm loving his hands soooooooooo much!! I wish they made all BJD with hands like this!!! They're my super favorite part of him!!!! :laughs:

I've made him do the 'love' sign and also he can stroke/hold a plushie soooo perfectly because the jointed fingers contour around all the curves!!!!! It looks so realistic!!!!! He is REALLY stroking this puppy!!!
