1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Ms. Mina Belmont

Maker:
Peakswoods
Head Sculpt:
Goldie
Skintone:
White
Body:
Old style small bust
Sex:
Female
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Peakswoods
    Body blushing artist(s):
    None
    Date of acquisition:
    2013
    Provenance:
    Second hand from someone on EBay
    Reason for choice:
    I had acquired so many Bitten Collection pieces that it was time to add the doll to my collection too.
    Best Points:
    Sits well. Nice hands. Fits the Bitten Collection items
    Worst Points:
    Something is wacky about her hips. While she can stand, I have to manually twist each leg to the outside to give her enough stability. Her legs naturally want to turn pigeon toed and then she buckles. Her mouth looks weird from some angles.
    I fell in love with the Bitten Collection released by Haute Doll the moment I saw it. For those unaware, it was designed by Valerie Zeitler, produced by Dollheart, and advertised and sold through Haute Doll magazine back in 2009. But I was new to the hobby and bought not one item back then. Years later I started picking up a set of shoes here or an outfit there off EBay or DOA, some of which came from the personal collection of the editor of Haute Doll. Anyway it gradually dawned on me that if I was going to collect the whole set, I sure was going to need the doll to wear it! So her posing woes don't concern me much, her job is to look beautiful :)
  • Eyes:
    softglass? I switched them from the default pale blue glass- she was hard to photograph with those
    Wig:
    Every Bitten wig but one
    Favourite colours:
    Dusty purples, greys, shaggy browns
    Fashion style(s):
    Bitten!
  • Name story:
    For a long time she was simply Ms Belmont, but as you'll find later I absolutely had to add another gal to help display the impressive wardrobe, and that's when genius struck- they would be Mina and Lucy after the Brom Stoker's Dracula characters.
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
