Monty Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) It seems a bit weird to be making Luka's New Arrival thread now given that its been more than 3 weeks since I got her at Dolpa, but I wanted to do it when I finished her unboxing video...and it took me a long time to get around to editing and uploading the video (due firstly to finding out that Windows no longer have windows movie maker on any of their newer computers (I bought a new laptop recently) nor do they offer it as download, which is what I was used to using, and DaVinci Resolve (one of the only ones I could find that was both free and didnt charge you to render the damn video) took me a while to figure out how to use. The video itself isnt perfect, but I hope that seeing her in 'motion' is a deal sealer or breaker to anyone who was on the fence about entering her lottery thing (I basically got this done jUST in time, I really wanted to get it done earlier...) Here are some pictures I took in between the video segments. I forgot how wonderful it feels unboxing a fullset DD! It's been well over a year... She comes with so much stuff! Her wig isnt on right here, but her long hair and takoluka on her head make her look like a mermaid. And this was after I finally had her all dressed up, which took quite a while. Counting the little MDD I finally got the body for in February, she is my 6th DD. Edited May 26, 2018 by Guest *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skadi Posted May 25, 2018 Luka is so lovely. The video shows her really nice. Maybe I should start trying to make doll videos my self. Can't wait to unbox her my self. There are a lot of free alternatives to Windows Movie Maker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeyondTime Posted May 25, 2018 I love how you have her hair hiding her "bits." (I know she's flat bust, but still. ) The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be. “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWhiteRabbit Posted May 25, 2018 Luka is really pretty, I was very unsure with the Volks photos, but thats nothing new! Congrats on getting Luka (even if it was three weeks ago) I always enjoy videos and photos of new girls.

Ie-Aster Posted May 26, 2018 Congrats again! I'm super glad you were able to get her I remember all the suspense in line at Dolpa. Even having seen lots of Lukas at Dolpa, I'm struck again by how lovely she is when watching your video. I think the video really does give a better 3D sense of what she looks like, as well. And I am taken again by how cute her nose is Luka really does have to be one of my favorite Volks sculpts. At home: Mei (DDP Lucy custom), Aku (DDB Takane custom) En route: L.

Sniiksnak Posted May 26, 2018 Had the lottery not been today, you would have broken me. I would have sank the extra $400 into a Luka from YJA. But you were too late with your cute little video. You won’t wring more out of me this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbotss Posted May 27, 2018 I regret looking at this thread and watching your video. I think I'm in love. The lottery is today but I also have my eye on a super dollfie on Y!J which ends tonight X.X now I need to decide who I want more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lottery is today but I also have my eye on a super dollfie on Y!J which ends tonight X.X now I need to decide who I want more If the SD is a good deal or particularly rare i’d go for the SD - Luka seems like she’s going to be pretty easy to get later on if you still want her later. *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, plus it seems like the lottery is more for shipment dates than for Luka? But your lovely Luka is just too tempting. Your photos and video do her more justice than the official ones *_* Even her hair looks nicer here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wednesday Posted June 13, 2018 Oh wow, just discovered her here but I had seen some videos of her before (I think yours too). I was always scared by this lottery thing and always found a reason (mostly resin)to stay away from DD and similar dolls. But then I was too curious and got my first SmartDoll. And I am soo in love with her that, after she said that she DEFINITELY wanted to have Luka as her friend, I tried my luck at the lottery... I will still have to wait until November but at least I made it out with a doll. And she really looks like she is gorgeous... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
