Gertie by LLE will be out for preorder on the 25th. What are you guys thoughts on the kit?
I personally think she looks extremely familiar. Very similar to Bonnie’s Saskia. I mean the hands, mouth, leg extention. I’ve seen mixed reviews in the community. What are your thoughts?
Pass.
I dislike the shape of the bottom lip. The similarities to Saskia (very popular kit) I can get past. They are not copied just similar… but I can not get over the lip.
They’re VERY similar besides the bottom lip, overall size of the mouth, and eyes. They have similar face shape, cheeks, even the ears, the feet shape, the finger, the legs even the creasing on the legs are similar, and they are similar in size. I think she’s cute but I’m not a huge fan of the bottom lip as well.
Even though I am a big fan of LLE and have most of her sculpts I’m passing on this one. I agree the mouth just isn’t letting me be drawn to her. I did order Birdie, and it should be here on Thurs.
She does remind me of Saskia.
I’m not a fan of the bottom lip as well. But I’m also not into the ‘pointing’ hands, which is also what kept me from getting Saskia.
Ive been waiting for her, thanks for posting I didnt realise she was coming out. I am also preorder Ethon by Cassie Brace, he goes on preorder on an Italian site, Im in France, on the 4th of June.
Everyone is having an issue with her mouth. I’m so surprised LLE didn’t change it. Imo it looks Dolly like and not like a real baby (mouth) which makes me sad bc I was excited for Gertie to come out. I’m with you , I’m going to pass!
I see many are saying they do not like the mouth on Gertie. Really though, to me it just looks like a more pronounced version of the same mouth that is on Esme. Folks liked her…
Macphersons will have her but I don’t know what her price will be. I must be in the minority here, but I actually like Gertie more than Saskia. Her mouth doesn’t bother me at all, and I think she’s adorable! I won’t be ordering her though, as I already have 2 kits on preorder (that I broke my “kit diet” for) and about 50 or so in my stash!
It looks like her pricing hasn’t been listed yet. Most LLE kits are between $130-150. I’m not sure all the places she will be sold at but Macphersons is carrying her and Laura Lee Eagles will be selling her on her site.
