Dollieh Sanctuary

I want to thank nixxfey who brought it to my attention and zirconmermaid for pointing out to her that the little centaurs I had fallen in love with on the LUTS site were not sold out. They simply had not gone on sale yet. Without them, I wouldn't have worked up the nerve to order one. <3 <3 <3

So I might have gotten a little nervous when I got the shipping notice but was unable to track her and posted about it here. Less than an hour later... the doorbell rang and I was spinning in circles with my LUTS box. I was forced to wait to open her though.

There aren't many box opening pics because I had a lot of helping hands trying to free her.




^ ok enough of that... gimmee


^stuffs


^pretty undignified...


Free! And escaping...


Please stay? I have clothes.


I just couldn't not get the outfit too...


This is the wig that stays on. I need to work on this. And my first eye change!


My heart melted just a little here.


Running again!


She kicks!


About that size.


She isn't actually my first BJD. I bought the other two while waiting for her.


The look that made me buy her. Or... convinced my husband to buy her for me.

The lightbox is just too small for really playing. I moved to the desk.


I can't believe she can do this!


Lalalalala...


More running!



Her front legs can swing out a bit. So pretty.


I think I'm going to call her August.

She's adorable and I love that she can buck!

And you have a Sad Sally?! *squeeee*

She is so cute! I am so happy you got one. <3 She looks like tons of fun to play with.

What a cutie! Definitely not one to stand behind though if she's in a mood!

Congratulations! LUTS centaurs were some of the first BJDs I saw when I was doing research on them, and I can't get over how beautiful they are. She is extremely adorable...and free-spirited, from the looks of it xD Wow, she looks like she's a great poser too! owo

She looks so cute and bubbly. I like the clear parts she has.

Congratulations. She's adorable. I love her hair and eyes.

Congratulations on your little centaur! She's so beautiful and your pictures really help show it! She seems like a wonderful poser, and I love her wig and eyes. Are you going to keep her horn parts as they are or will they be colored? I think they look beautiful just as is, too.

Congrats! She is beautiful and I am also in awe of the bucking. O.O So cool!

awww! Thank you everyone! I'm glad you like her too. It would be so much more fun to have other people around who liked playing with dolls.

She really is a lot of fun to play with. It's easy to imagine her running free through meadows and skipping around in a forest. Centaurs and unicorns were probably my most favorite fantasy creatures as a child. I wanted to be a centaur. True of many little kids I'm sure!

hmmm... I don't know! I never really thought about changing her parts colors. I didn't know it could be done. I think she likes her wig too! Either that or I haven't worked out my wig skills yet. I have two others and they just seem to slide off. The eyes were fun to change though.

I kind of am too.

I went back to the LUTS site and looked at the bottom pictures they have of them posing and I realized these weren't photoshopped quite like I thought. They really can do some amazing poses.


I took these at night on my phone but...

up on hind legs



one leg

She's really very stable when she does these too. It's just... I'm amazed they put this kind of workmanship into them. A little jealous too! I mean, even when I see her doing it, it's hard to see how this could be. The sites poses are far more extreme than mine but... I've been having fun trying to replicate them. Balancing on one hind leg is last one I'm working on. It's like a puzzle.

I thought these dolls were only beautiful but wow. The artists at LUTS deserve many kudos. Many, many kudos. And cookies.
