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.

DearMine Dear Pet, Classic 20cm & Beans 12cm Anthros Discussion Part 3

Jun 11, 2016

    1. I'm looking to grow my Dearmine anthro family (I put up WTB's for Debon, Siamy, Air & Lincoln) - used to have them but had to sell for financial reasons :(
      On a happy note I have a few new babies coming home! Including Loc, Marie and Belle. I'm ecstatic! I love the old 20cm line. Will definitely share pics when they get here!

    2. dearpet siamy used to be a basic model, i wonder if they'd still sell her that way if you emailed them or posted on the Q&A? :O

    3. Thank you! I saw her but am looking for the old short cat body.

      I did email them and they said they have no old stock - but they plan to release a new Dear Pet in spring this year. I don't think they'll use the old style body, so I will just look on the secondhand marketplace :)

    4. oooh that's very exciting, i wonder what kind the new dearpet will be!! :D
      also, you might have some luck looking on japanese sites as well, since dearmine is more popular overseas than it is in the west. dollyteria and yja are good places to look. ;)
       
    5. Thank you, that's a great idea! :)
       
    6. Mandarake has a bunch on sale at the moment.
       
    7. Finished styling my Dearmine Agrippa. Bought her as a fullset, but decided to change her face up.

    8. Your Agrippa is so cute! I love the custom makeup you gave her.

      I ended up getting Mochi Cake Siamy on the large body. I'll try to hybrid her on the 20cm pet body, but it looks like the neck size will have a big difference. BTW, Dearmine is very flexible on their sales! Even though she's being sold as a fullset, when I emailed them, they were able to sell to me at a discount without the outfit and faceup. :) I love this company!

    9. Hello everyone! I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times over, but if anybody could humor me I'd really appreciate it.

      I am now the very happy owner of a Ruby Spring, and while she came with a full set I would like to style her fashion differently. Because she is this odd in-between size I've never had before, I am a bit hesitant on where to begin shopping for cute clothes. So, I'm hoping anybody here can point me in the right direction. Do these dolls fit clothes for Blythes? Realfees? I'll take any help I can get.

      Many thanks!
       
    10. I had luck with Blythe clothes on my old 20cm body, not sure if the new one is any different. You could always download a free sewing pattern and make a quick mockup to see how it fits :)
       
    11. She would be able to wear Madame Alexander vintage outfits for 8" dolls, as well as several seamstresses on the board sew for her. PepperoniPizza is excellent. She is also the same size as Pipos' cats. Check out my albums for an idea.

    12. That is such a smart idea! I never would have considered that; thank you. I will definitely look into this avenue as well as browse some Blythe clothes in my free time!
       
    13. Many thanks! This is very helpful for me :)

    14. Thank you so very much!
      Congratulations on buying Mochi Cake Siamy! Hope it'll work out with the body.
      And I also love the company, their service is very good!

    15. I bought a Dearmine Picasso Classic secondhand the other month.. and I have to say, literally every day since then I've been on the Dearmine website contemplating buying more LOL.

      I guess to other owners -- is it normal to order direct, or do you use a dealer? And how long are wait times usually? I'm moving in a few months and trying to see if I should wait to order ^^; I mean I should for $$$ reasons but the beans call to me.....

    16. I definitely use mandarake and Yahoo Japan auctions as I like the look of the much older dear pets! I did buy directly also from dearmine. Denver doll carries new releases as well as fabric friends dolls for some older ones

    17. Ahhh thank you so much for such a fast reply! Definitely going to be exploring Mandarake now... And keeping an eye on Denver doll.
       
    18. One thing to note is newer beans come with the v2 body that can actually stand on its own. It's still a bit of a balancing act with the big heads and tiny feet but at least it's possible unlike the older bodies.

    19. I've always ordered from Dearmine directly, they're easy to work with. But I've never bought a secondhand Bean outside the Marketplace here.
