Unboxing Lovely Doll ›Lovely One-Sixth‹ 027L and 027M (29cm)

Post by **Dollstudio** » Wed Aug 26, 2015 12:13 pm

A couple of months ago I posted Unboxing Lovely Doll SFD 26++ & 27 (1/6 scale) in our vendor forum. Lovely Doll has recently introduced a lot of changes, so it's time for an updated Unboxing.

This time I'll be dealing with the updated Lovely Doll ›Lovely One-Sixth‹ 027L and 027M and I'm posting this in the Miniature Adult Dolls forum because I think these miniatures are really worth a look.

The dolls come in a plain carton box. No fancy packaging like factory-made Phicens:

Inside the box is the doll wrapped in some padding, a printed sheet with instructions, a power brush, and a set of four neck adapters that allow to connect the Lovely Dolls with heads by Kumik, Hot Toys and others.

The doll is most impressive. This is LD body 027 L with a Kumik head:

The complete configuration can be ordered as a set from Lovely Doll. It includes the Kumik head, the doll in matching skin tone LD-Brown (= equal to Kumik Dark Yellow), body makeup, moveable fingers, and a bikini.

This is the upper body with body makeup. It's just amazing for a 29 cm miniature!

For comparision, here is the upper body of a LD 027 M without body makeup. It looks a lot more artificial:

A new feature is that the doll's hands can be equipped with moveable fingers. This is plain awesome; besides Edation's "Hot Stuff" body, no other commercial manufacturer offers this option for 1/6 scale dolls:

Here's a comparison of the fingers with wires (top left) and without wires (bottom right):

The Lovely Doll ›Lovely One-Sixth 027L‹ is fully capable of almost any reasonable poses. This is the version with body makeup, poseable fingers and a bikini:

The range of movements is identical between the 1/6 scale models. However, the LD 027 M body without body makeup and without moveable fingers looks a lot less alive:

Rear of a LD 027 M without body makeup:

The configuration without body makeup might be suitable if you are planning to dress the doll. If she is supposed to show some skin, I't warmly recommend the body makeup option. It just looks so much better.

This is the Kumik head that can be ordered together with the doll. As usual, the level of detail is just amazing:

The Kumik head comes with a detacheable wig. I haven't quite figured out what to do with this wig. Maybe someone knows if there are other wigs available? Otherwise I would not understand the reason to separate the wig from the head.

Anyway, that's the way Kumik builds their heads; Phicen has a similar design, so maybe there is a reason for this. You might want to use some glue or modelling clay to fixate the wig on the head as the mechanical connection is rather weak.

Altogether, we're quite excited about this new arrival. The new skin tones allow to combine a lot more head sculpts with Lovely Doll's five 1/6 scale bodies; the moveable fingers option is just awesome, and the body makeup is great as it always was. The LD bodies offer a lot more flexibility than Edation's "Hot Stuff" body which only exists in tweo different skin tones. Except for this, the new line of Lovely Dolls is without comparison in 1/6 scale world.

Here a couple of points to help you make a decision:

If you want poseable fingers, you just need a Lovely Doll One-Sixth (or Edation's "Hot Stuff" body);
if you want silicone, you need Lovely Doll (or Edation);
if you are lazy and want preconfigured packages with clothing, shoes, weapons etc., you might prefer Phicen;
if you already have 1/6 scale head sculpts and don't like BJD bodies, you might want Lovely Doll;
if you want a lot of flexibility (five different body styles, seven skin tines, four neck connectors…) and you are generally more a DIY type of guy, LD might be better suited;
LD uses a wire skeleton, Phicen has some kind of joints in the skeleton (that used to make nasty noises);
Phicen is still a lot cheaper than LD.

All silicone dolls have seam lines, but LD trims the seams very precisely.

I'd consider the LD miniatures equal to Doll Sweets life-sized silicone dolls; they do not only come from Dalian as well, their production quality is equally excellent. That would place Phicen on a similar level like WM Dolls (entry level, less expensive, more industrially made). Though, not sure if such comparisons are helping…

I will post more photos soon and try to show how the seam lines look!

After checking out the Lovely Dolls, the only advantages I can see over a Phicen would be the poseable fingers on the more expensive doll, and the non-removable hands. However, it ends there. The WM comparison would more fairly compare to the LD wire skeleton, while the newer Phicens have a super-quiet, super flexible metal skeleton that more fairly compares to that of my Real Doll. The older Phicens do have noisy plastic skeletons that are much less flexible and more prone to breakage. As for detail, even the older Phicens are more detailed than the LD, and the newer ones are VERY detailed.

The Phicen is even more poseable than my Real Doll, and she can do some amazing things.

You're welcome. I'm not trying to drive business towards or away from any doll company, just simply provide facts as accurately as possible. Both dolls have a few advantages, and their beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
