Loongsoul Doll 1/3 doll discussion

Oh fantastic to know, Pearl! I thought the engineering of the body is quite aesthetically pleasing while also being functional. Whenever I manage to see more pics on Baidu, I will post them!

There are some nice photos of YaoTong over at Mint on Card's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php...id=32077868151

Mello, does your doll have blushing on it? If so, rubbing too hard might remove the sealant You might want to try a little bit of soapy water (soap that doesn't have oils in it) with the tissue. I've effectively removed scuffs with a little soapy warm water when my dolls had MSC on them. However, if the markings are paint, you will likely have to remove it with something stronger.

are you sure that soapy water wont damage the msc? my doll has an awesome body blushing and face up, that i dont want to damage. but there is a black marking on his forehead, i want to at least remove that...since its visible...

edit: i tried to use a tissue with non-oily soap and warm water, the black markings didnt go away at all. but the place i used the tissue on is more shiny now for some reason?! did i damage the msc?! i cant believe this......my doll will have black markings forever...and i got 42 usd back from the company....what a joke....

It sounds like it's actually paint and not scuff marks. I've been able to use tissue with warm soapy water and it did not effect my MSC whatsoever--it only removed the scuff marks. I tend to get a lot of scuff marks because when I'm re-stringing my dolls' legs sometimes lightly knock against the wood of my bed. Although, I do my dolls blushing myself and layer on two coats of MSC after I'm done my pastels.

Is $42 how much the body blushing cost? If so, I would put that money towards getting that specific part re-blushed.

Argg. I thought I'd matched the head and torso with blushing, but I discovered that I made the torso much too orangey, so I have to redo it. I'll probably be able to take photos in a week.

I feel so dumb, but at least it's experience.

Blushing can definitely be hard. Sometimes the tones don't work out the way you want. Most of the time I try to be in direct natural lighting, but even then it sometimes doesn't end up the way I'd like. :[

That's what I was doing, but I think the lighting was too bright when I was working on the torso and made the tones appear more similar. My preferred light is diffuse natural light, but I was sitting beside a west window as the sun was on the west side of the house when I worked on the last layer of the torso. However, I needed to blush the second torso, too, so this is an opportunity to do everything all together, I suppose.

yes, its the price of the body blushing. also the black marks are all over, even in the face. i would need a new face-up and new body blushing. and with shipping thats a lot more than 42 usd. im disappointed that they apparently only used one coat of msc, and that its that easy removable (if my tissue really removed part of it). i told the company that the black marks arent going away. they told me to use the following:

Melamine foam


does anyone know what that is? a magic eraser?

also, do you guys think i should get the face-up money back as well? since there are black marks on the ear and forehead as well...

That new girl is so pretty! I love her face, and am delighted that they seem to have both high heel feet and "brust" (bust, I assume) size options. Since Fairyland is being ridiculously slow to release a 60cm line, I may just have to get a girl from Loongsoul instead. Their posing looks very impressive too!

Mello ~ that does look like a magic eraser. They are great for removing marks but sometimes they can also mess up blushing and such, so be careful!

[Kymera]

Can't wait until the new girl is released. She's so cute.

I was trying a shirt on Jace today and when I got it situated on him I noticed his hand was weirdly loose against the wrist ball. After a moment of panic, I discovered he has magnet hands! I totally didn't ask for them so it was a complete shock. At first I was annoyed, because the reason I didn't want them was the fear of losing a hand, but there's actually a locking mechanism built into the resin! So cool I'll bet it was an accident, but I'm not complaining at this point! Mostly relieved I didn't break his hand off :X

Does anyone have an LS doll without the magnet hands? I'm now curious about what they look like versus the magnet ones.

[Tempest_Strife]

Yes. that's a magic eraser.

I'm hoping for more pics of the new 1/3 girl soon. Also hoping for an older looking head for it.

Here you are:
The upper photos are the 'hook' hands, the lower photos the 'magnetic' ones.

Me too, she looks nice.
Seems that the joints are a bit different from the 1/3 boy body (referring to the picture posted by Mint on Cart: here).
Hope there will be any new teaser from Loongsoul soon, I really really really want to see their 70cm dolls.

are you sure that soapy water wont damage the msc? my doll has an awesome body blushing and face up, that i dont want to damage. but there is a black marking on his forehead, i want to at least remove that...since its visible...

I had quite hard time to remove msc. Magic eraser or 70~75% isopropyl alcohol (used separately, I wouldn't recommend to mix Magic eraser with other chemicals) were no match for mcs at all, but were removing dirt from the surface nicely; if it was not under the coating of course.
However I'd put a several layers on the head, so it may count, too.

Thanks for the photo Tsukasa! That's so helpful And I'm so jealous you have the relaxed pose hands!! I hope they come out with fist hands at some point too. I love the way they sculpt the boys' hands, so handsome but elegant.

I'm waiting on their 70cm dolls too! I'm pretty set on which 70cm doll I want to be Jace's boyfriend, but if anyone could change my mind it would be Loongsoul <3

Now all LS 1/3 boy doll comes with magnet hands, all 1/3 girl comes with hock hands, I updated this information on my thread, and posted the new LS skin tones, added the girl pics~

[mighella]

Thanks Catas

I love the new girl, she has such a sweet face. And the fact that she has FOUR bust options is amazing -- most dolls don't even have two, and it is so hard to find girls with large bust options that aren't really tall! I can't wait to see future girls LS comes out with. <3

But is it true that tan skin is being discontinued with the resin change? I was hoping to get one of their future 70cm boys in tan. I notice that tan skin not offered for Emily, and I'm hoping that its just the girls that will have only 3 skin tone options. That would be kinda silly though, so probably not. ^^;

Same as Dolly, I love Emily and she has a cute face
I really like new Loongsoul's body, really a nice sculpt. Seems like she can stand and hold different poses with no problems, plus the four choice options for the bust is a fantastic idea. It's really difficult to find a busty SD13 girl in white skin, too. I was planning to change body for my Dolkot Bera, now I have definitely a good replacement!
I'd like to see more pictures, maybe full body shots to see the joints... and I hope there will be more Loongsoul girls in the future!

Now LS is working on the Tan and other special skin tone, hope they could make these option available soon~~~

[Tsukasa]

'other special skin tone' sounds interesting.
We need more teasers from LS.


Btw. on the LS website (Chinese version), the doll categories are now:
- 风华正茂（68～72cm）
- 花漾年华（58～62cm）
- 豆蔻年华（40cm）
- 纯真年代
It seems that LS is going to have a full range of dolls.
