Awww. Sorry haven't been on on a while. I appreciate your kind words It's a shame to admit but at one time I wanted to sell she (I have such an "itch" because of the doll to which I devote little time), I even made a sale post, but changed my mind. She's too cute
I see some dolls are listed as [contact us for a price], rather than a 'sold out' note. How does this work, exactly? Do they sometimes have extra outfits left over and will cast a doll to fit?
It's been my experience that it pretty much means sold out. However, they sometimes have one in 'the back room' - maybe a model that was used for photography. Basically, it can't hurt to ask, and you may get lucky - but I wouldn't recommend getting your hopes up too high.
I've tried emailing them about out of stock dolls, for maybe 5 of them? No luck for me HOWEVER, the Japanese secondhand market on Mandarake, Yahoo!Japan Auctions and Dollyteria usually have several Dearmine Dolls available
Oh, and a few more Dear Pets have joined my collection ^^ I LOVE their older releases so much. I de-wig them and give 'em Swandoll jewel eyes Belle Rose Marie (makeup by me)
The jewel eyes look great on those, and I love the glitter effect on Marie's horns and ears. Marie is the sculpt I really like and plan to keep an eye out for.
Just got the winter 2022 Picasso Classic full set, he is SO CUTE. I love the cool/bitter faceup so much
my first bjd! anyone else with the fullset for lorenz have trouble posing him to stand on his own? i think his poofy pants shift the joints around when i try to straighten and set them up. but i can always grab a stand or just make him sit. i like more contrast in my designs, so i might blush his horns and hooves with black pastel to give them a little more pop.
Oh my gosh, he is so cute! Congratulations! All of my dearmine anthros in this size are not able to stand at all. Or sit. The legs go wonky inside the clothes and it's not really possible to fix unless they're naked. I would recommend just a stand underneath the clothes
An Ob11 stand works, or get him a fancy chair. :3 I have a little tripod stand I use for a few of my tinies. I don't have any Beans with the updated body to see how they compare to the original ones, but yeah, Gen1 Beans can't stand on their own.
Congratulations @lynxie what a wonderful first bjd! Mmm I have only dearmine classic Picasso but I'm able to make him stand Technically I think... It's not really for the faint of heart and I don't usually try for pictures. There is no shame in using a doll stand of course (I'm just always too stingy and lazy to get myself any)
makes sense! i'm used to fashion dolls and anime figs which rarely can stand up on their own anyway, so i'd rather not risk it. time to go hunting for doll props
