DearMine Doll Dear Shine Line

Ok, well, despite the fact I currently do not yet have her body, I finally have some photos of my lovely Diana, Catherine Bell, to share with you. She has a lovely pair of urethane 18mm eyes now care of MakoEye's new V3 Amaryllis range (far superior and more what you'd expect in a urethane eye than they V1 & V2 eyes), plus she's been trying on a pair of lovely new wigs.
Here's a pic of her in one of them:-


You can also see some more pics of her here on Flikr:-

Hello, hope I'm not intruding! I recently bought a Diana J.Rose head from the MP, and I'll hopefully recieve it in a few weeks. I'm not sure how she will look, but I'm already excited, she'll be my first SD!
I'm very, very puzzled as what body to put her on. According to Thinkpink (Who had a head in stock with some details on) The fine normal skin matches Doll Factory's normal skin very well, and somewhat well with Infinitidoll. I'm leaning towards an Infiniti doll body, as it looks like my Dear Mine Lover, but I can't figure out whether they're out of business or not.

By the way, on Dear mine's site, it only says Diana's head is 9-10 inches. Can anyone tell me if they're 9.1 inches or something, because their MSD's are on the smaller side of 7-8 wigs. I'm asking because I'd like to know if she'd look bobbleheaded on slim sd bodies, if I find one

 

JenKat - She looks fantastic in the pink? wig, but the blue has its charms too. It's such a versatile faceup!

PotatoMash - Several months ago, InfinityDoll said they had an issue keeping up with orders due to i believe a production issue and closed to new orders until they could catch up. I think there's a message somewhere on the site about it, might be in notices? Sadly though I haven't heard anything about when they will reopen. I do hope it's somewhat soon though, as I too would really like to order some bodies from them.

 

Thanks, MacaronTea.
PotatoMash, congratulations on your Diana head When it comes to resin colour, the benefit of these girls being a match for Volks Normal is that there are plenty of companies other than Volks that match for resin colour. There's Dreaming Doll & Sadol to name a couple...and sorry to hear about InfinityDoll not being an option at the moment. My reason for choosing, however, to end up eventually going for a second hand Volks SDGr Girls body was mainly poseability, clothing / footwear fit information available, clothing and footwear availability, & accessories that are made to fit it (such as SQ labs' wonderful range of hands).

As for head size, these girls with their 9" heads are a good match for 8-9 & 9-10" wigs, from what I have tried on my girl. I have tried 7 different wigs in a range of these sizes and had no issues. However, I always put silicone wig caps on my dolls so this helps too with fit on the slightly larger wigs. Hope that helps =^-^=

 

Macarontea - Agh, really? That's a shame, I would've loved a body from infiniti doll as I do prefer bodies with the torso joint sort of hidden. Some dolls I like to make weird poses, some I like just to dress up and to be pretty, lol. My future Diana is for being pretty, but perhaps I'll need to look for other bodies.

JenKat - Thanks! I'm looking for wigs, and can't really seem to decide how I want her to look, but I'll be cheeky and ask where you've gotten the peachy one in the first picture? She looks gorgeous in it. Not sure if I'll be willing to get a curly wig, I just don't...Me and wigs with curls just don't work together, so I might have to pass it up, but I'm curious where you've got it, maybe have something for me, lol.

 

Thanks, Potatomash That Peachy Apricot wig is actually from Angell-Studios and is one of their 1/3 Youth style wigs, the style name being Crosswires Long and Curly:- http://www.angell-studio.com/en/?product-1476.html
As a European Angell-Studio reseller with whom I see you are already familiar, Think Pink offer one on pre-order if you're interested:- http://shop.fashiondoll.nl/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=crosswires&x=-374&y=-214

 

Jenkat - Ahh, I would've never guessed it was that wig <.< I practically raided leekeworld and other bigger wig companies to find it ! I might find one at luts too but I'm really really digging the color of your wig, and I'm afraid the luts peachy colors will be darker than what I want. Perhaps she'll end up a redhead instead, but at least I've narrowed it down from a bunch of colors to two now.

 

Jen kat : ur girl is sooo pretty I love the peach wig on her. She looks sooo sweet^^

 

Thank you, Yurikun! I am absolutely in love with the Diana sculpt now and I am now really looking forward to see what Dearmine do with her in full-doll &/or basic form.

 

I'm still trying to figure out what body I'd prefer for my Diana head, but I was wondering if anyone could do a resin match between her and a NS minifee? I'm not counting on the match to be very good, but I'd love to see it, as I really do like the feeple60 body and would like it if I could use that for the head. Any NS Fairyland would do, as new as possible of course, I'd be very grateful if anyone could provide pictures

 

So, hopefully it won't be long before customs release my Diana head, and I've been super extremely original and she has been named - Diana - So far. (I know, I'm...Not good at names when I get used to using the sculpt name <.<)
I recently saw Dear Mine write on facebook, about the new body for Diana and I asked whether the heads from christmas could be used or not, and I got a yes So, while I'm sure Dear Mine will release some super gorgeous fullset I feel that I'll need to own, I think I'll simply get Diana a body. I hope it comes with a tail...And high heels.
Once the customs are done with her, I'll post a picture of my newest addition

 

I hope you get her soon, PotatoMash!

I look forward to seeing the body that Dear Mine designed for Diana; their Facebook post hinted that it should be released this month!

 

I really want a Diana wonder if DearMine will offer her as a full doll - head with body, or just the body .... !! I kicked myself several times for not ordering her LE head when I had the chance >.<

 

News are up on Dear Mine notice page! They'll release a fullset Diana! I feel like screaming but I'll use exclamation marks instead, oh no, I want her as a fullset, ugh!

 

I cannot wait to see the body! Crossing my fingers that she will have some nice paws.

 

Just now getting caught up on DearMine news to see the upcoming Diana body is in the works. Figures now that I finally just found a Sd16 body for mine. XD I still want to see this new body though, I'm quiet anxious to see what the hands/paws may look like and if there is a tail option.

 

I finally have my Diana J.Rose put together at last! Let me introduce you all to Fiona, I ended up putting her on a Volks SD16 body. ^_^

 

MacaronTea, she's beautiful! I love the J. Rose face-up I suppose the benefit of having her on a Volks body is the many clothing options available! When you get a chance, I'd love to see a full body picture of her!

 

Anna - I'd be happy to! Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to grab some doll time for a nice full photo shoot.

 

Wonderful, thank you! I look forward to seeing how she looks on the SD16 body, mostly because it's my backup body, if I don't like the official one Dear Mine will release soon.
