Where did you buy your Bory? How long did it take? Why did you choose this purchase method?

I got my bory last December from eluts.com. It only took 16 days before I got a shipping notice, I was really surprised! I chose to buy him from the company because I’m wary of buying dolls second hand, I know that if there was a problem with him then the company could fix it for me.

Why did you choose Bory?(What factored in your decision to choose it? Like was it it’s skintone, body, posing, and so on?

I think it was his face, he has this moody, serious expression that I really liked, and he was so cute too!

What parts of your Bory do you find different from the company’s photo’s/information on Bory’s?(For example, do it’s eyes seem bigger in real life than the photos, is it’s sculpt more dimensional in real life than the photos, is it taller than the height stated by the company, and so on.)

He’s pretty much the same as what’s on the site, but cuter in person!

Who did the face up? If custom, why did you choose this face up?

Luts did the face up, and its a custom! I didn’t think they were going to do it, because I ordered well after they made their announcement about no longer doing custom faceups. But I took a chance and sent them a photoshop mock up of what I wanted. They responded to me saying they were sorry but they couldn’t do a custom. However! When I got him, he had the faceup I requested! I don’t know if they decided to do it because it wasn’t very different from the default or maybe they were feeling generous because it was around christmas, but I’m SO grateful they did it. It really makes Dietre feel different and special for me.

Where do you get your Bory’s clothes? If bought, are you happy with the selection available for your Bory? If not, what do you wish more for? If you make your Bory’s clothes yourself, is it easy to find material to make clothes for your Bory? Is it difficult or easy to make clothes for a doll this size?

I got most of his outfits from Luts too, their quality is good, and the clothes fit perfectly. I have a few things from dollmore, but I find that most msd clothing seems to be on the baggy side. Kid delfs are apparently thin compared to other dolls, so pants tend to be loose around the waist. Buying from luts ensures the clothes will fit! I wish there were more victorian and period style clothing for MSDs, most of the stuff for boys is punky and modern, its really hard to find old fashioned clothes for boy dolls. Its annoying because girl dolls have tons of victorian options to choose from!

Are you happy with the posing/body/sculpt?(For example, do you wish the doll was taller, more range in joint movements, a smile, and so on.)

Dietre is my best poser! He can do very natural poses, and things that my other dolls just can’t. My ONLY problem with his body is his elbows! Kid delfs have some REALLY ugly elbow joints! Its kind of this like…almost rectangle shaped piece that looks really unnatural and I hate it. But its why he can bend his arms so much better than my other dolls, so I kind of have to deal with it. Besides, with long sleeves no one can see them!
