Dollieh Sanctuary

Lovely Dolls are kind of like the Chinese version of Arte Tokio dolls. I actually liked the way that they looked better than the Tokio ones though so I opted for this rather than save up for that.

Hot on the heels of my Iplehouse dolls who just arrived yesterday is Euphoria, a 60cm silicone doll from Lovely Doll in a medium breast size and with finger wires. Ordered her around the same time. I didn't like the body blushing in their pics so I'm opting to give it a try myself. Spent $90 on a trial kit which I'm thinking should be enough to get the job done, but hopefully it will turn out well since the doll herself and the paints are so expensive! I don't think the paint can really be removed once applied.

Strangely enough, although I love anime, I don't like female anime faces, so I'm going to put another head on her at some point. The head actually looks bigger and wider in person than it does in the product pics.






She's so jiggly! Definitely a much softer silicone than the 1/6 Edation Hot Stuff silicone doll I have. She was kind of sticky and oily too when I first opened her, but a quick wash and a little powder fixed that right up.

The default head just has a hole in it and sits on a stick coming out of the neck, but the neck bit can be changed to a screw bit so I could put a different head on her and screw a stopper on inside.

I kind of worry about the skeleton though. It feels like it's just wire, so seems like it could fatigue and break easily. I didn't really plan on posing her much though, mostly just sewing and changing clothes on her, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'll never break her....Other bad thing is that the finger wires only go about half way through the fingers :/ $65 to add that feature.

Oh, she was supposed to come with a pink wig, but I didn't get it Wrote to ask about it, but not that big of a deal.

Now I need to find a head and a wig that I like for her....

By request, a picture of the head post and how a resin head fits on the body:


Just put the resin head on the post and screw the bead on inside the head. It comes loose easily though so using a little eye putty to stabilize it helps.

Wow. I'm completely ignorant when it comes to silicone dolls, but that looks really impressive!! May I ask where you got her and how much she cost..?

Holy cow! Good luck on her blushing. :)

Here's the Lovely Doll site: http://atdoll.com/index.asp

congrats on the new doll!

Wow, they have the cutest 1/6 girls too. Something about them makes me feel icky though. Too realistic maybe? Or the almost-naughty poses they show on the website?

hehe well not everything is for everyone. It's weird, because if you asked me 2 months ago, I wouldn't have been interested in bjds because the joints were too ugly to me and I was infactuated with silicone dolls. Now, well, not exactly reversed because I still like silicone dolls, but I think I like bjds better hehe. They seem less delicate and of course there are many many more available.

Arte Tokio I think was the first to market 1/6, 1/4 and 1/3 silicone dolls, but when I bought mine, at that time the company was out of business. Now they are running again, but they are also making... other sort of dolls as well.

Alrighty, her current look is decided.
Her first body blushing job isn't perfect because my first try at painting silicone was really difficult! So I think later when I get a better lighted work station I'll give it a 2nd try.

She's also getting another head sooner or later. I'm buying this Siren head by Christy Stone. Might work for this, but I'll probably have to do some coloration to match the body. Or I might sculpt my own! hehe. If I wanted another silicone head, I'd have to make it myself. I don't think anyone sells 1/3 silicone heads.

The eyes are a lot cooler than they look in the pic... they are a glittery opalescent blue, but they barely show up no matter how I try to photograph *sigh*

But for now here she is, and I'll start sewing some clothes for her as soon as I'm finished blushing my Iplehouse dolls:




And this is the Christy Stone head I ordered:

Drilli, the blushing isn't bad at all, it's looks pretty well done, maybe the upper torso is a bit overdone, but I really like it. The head you ordered will look beautiful. But I can see where coloring that may be necessary...am still a newbie at this but I like it a lot

i really like the back of the knees and you did a really great job on the nipples!!

Thanks you 2
hehe it looks like she has a bit of sunburn right under her breasts. Fortunately she'll be clothed most of the time anyway, but I still hope to reblush her when I can get a good clean secluded work station one of these days .
