Camellia Dynasty - Discussion Thread

WOW! That faceup is fantastic! It must be so excited to see your Evrin almost complete!

 

I am very excited! I will do a photoshoot when the whole look is complete.

 

This thread is pretty quiet huh...

So, anyone has any news on the "elevator shank"? How about resin color compatability?

 

So what do people think of their new Lord, 'Kollie'? I think he's a great mold, i'm really taken with him, I love the coy smile. If only they sold him with the Heian period clothing he's pictured in as well, it really suits him.

 

I have an Om because of that cute smile... I did mod the eyes, though.
Now.. this new boy is very nice but quite the price jump from the Minister line. 410.00 is a blank doll, isn't it? The site says 'environmental resin'.. it that like Ringdoll?

 

I actually have a HUGE problem with the new sculpt. He looks WAY too much like a Volks Lucas. He's pretty heavily influenced. Not saying he's a recast, just it seems like the sculptor was looking right at a Lucas. =/ even the tear ducts are the same shape.

 

Really? His nose seems quite different from Lucas. It's very snubby, which I think is pretty cute! Lucas has more of an angled tip on his nose, and more flared nostrils.

 

It's his eyes, and the general shape of the mouth that made me think instantly oh Volks. The wigless shots made it more obvious to me. Although this new one does look like their older ones so their style is consistant.

 

I've owner a Lucas and I don't think this guy looks anything like him ^^'

Lucas (and the rest of his 'family') is a very famous bjd mold and I could name several companies that have produced dolls that are obviously inspired by him, but I wouldn't say this guy was one at all

 

I have to agree that he doesn't look much like Lucas, and if he resembles any Volks molds, it's actually Reisner he looks like. The overall face shape, eyes, and mouth are similar.

I checked the site out because I love Heian clothing, but it looks like they don't offer his clothing for sale? With the kitsune mask and the clothes they have him pictured in, he would make a great Abe no Seimei.

 

I have no clue why I said Lucas, I was picturing Reisner in my head but my hands didn't listen to me. He really doesn't look like an F-16/Lucas at ALL. God *headdesk*

 

I think the Evrin mold is a lot more 'Volksy' as far as the eye shape and lips. The new doll Kollie doesn't really remind me of Volks at all when I look at it.

I like the new mold. Definitely one for my Maybe List! I love the CD body so much, so an excuse for another is tempting!


Even though I normally hate translucent resin, their 'Environmental' is a lot more reasonable than other companies. I can definitely tell the difference of the resin next to my urethane dolls, but in photos the translucency doesn't lose detail. It's about the level of Iplehouse, I guess.

 

:< I just checked the camelia dynasty website for the first time in a while, and Evrin is listed as out of stock. From their Q&A section I can't tell if they'll be restocking him. Does anyone know if they will? ;3;

 

Ooh, no-one has posted here in a little while... has anyone ordered from them recently?

I made an order in late December, and have a real problem.

 

I am the spanish dealer of CD and they don't reply any email for a couple of months, so I stopped offering their products.
If i get a reply from CD, I will tell you too.

 

Thanks, Aikoneko. That would be great.

I'm pretty worried, since I haven't got my order in all this time, and I don't think there's anything Paypal can do at this point.
Hopefully they will get in touch with both of us soon.

 

Wow, I hope nothing is wrong. I just ordered from them in late January. I'm not nervous about the time yet but I hope I actually get my stuff :/

Not that this answers everything but I wanted to mention that last year they took off until Feb. 25th for their new year celebration. Perhaps they are gone now for the same reason?

 

Oh, thank you for the heads up, SoraSoul - I really hope that is the reason, and also that you get your stuff soon!
8 weeks is a very long time though, especially with no updates, or returned contact... I've contacted Paypal to see if there's anything to be done about it through them, but will wait until March if at all possible.

Please feel free to keep us updated a little, if they make contact/status changes with you, if that's okay?
I've had nothing since I paid - I don't know if I'm over-reacting.

 

I will absolutely let you know if I hear anything from them TheGrey. I'm especially concerned about the fact that Aikoneko hasn't heard from them in such a long time but I'm trying to remain hopeful. I think I will probably try contacting them towards the end of February if I haven't heard anything more. Mid next week will be the 15 day mark for me so just maybe :/

 

Hmm, I ordered from them more than twoo weeks ago. I orderes Wong. And on their page it sais that it should take about 15 days. I emaliled them 4 times. But without luck. So I think I ll open case with them through paypal.
