DIKA Doll discussion

Thanks guys! I got an answer on another thread and forgot to subscribe to this one....but I was really just looking for a place to buy just the head (I couldn't find anyone selling them!) and was pointed to jeeryama. So I ordered!

I'm really excited. I was looking for all these specific qualities in a mold and someone suggested Aqua...it's perfect! I also went nuts and got him\her a wig too. I usually don't worry about parts until I have a doll in hand, but this was too good to pass up.

Now to start looking for bodies....

 

Sorry for the double post, but I was wondering about hybrids for DK heads. Anyone have one on a Fantasy doll body? It has the look I'm after (kinda androgynous) and I think the WSs will match. I think the DK body might be bigger though? So I don't know how it will look.
Thanks

 

Hello, I'm having a hard time finding shoes to fit my boy. It's the width of his feet that are the trouble and unfortunately not many places list the width of their shoes. I tend to only see length. I'm looking for black boots, and am not having much luck so he's just been sitting here in little socks. Any help would be awesome, thank you~

 

Bambistark, what size is your boy? If it's an SD-sized body, then I can once again recommend Alice's Collections. I have bought knee-high black boots from them and they fit my SD Dika Doll perfectly.

And aah, the Dika thread has not been too active lately, has it? I haven't been on much myself (well, just lurking...), but I figured I'd share some Elias spam;



He's acquired a new wig (and some new body parts ) since the last time I posted a picture of him--as well as a load of new clothes--spoiled boy.

 

TKCatsby He's on the 73cm 3 part torso. I also just noticed Dollmore actually puts width on quite a few of their shoes (Thank goodness). Do you think these would fit him? x:

 

Unfortunately I think that those won't fit! >.< I've got a Xibatian and the shoes that he's got barely fit even if the inner width is 3,5cm... Anyway, try to search on alice's collection or Tata's paradise, the shoes for that size are listed as Hound/Uncle or 70cm! I've got a pair of alice's collection boots that fit perfectly! :3

 

I can't speak too much for 70 cm, as I don't have one myself, but I would again say try Alice's Collections, as well--my friend has a Dika 70cm and I believe she bought him shoes on there. You can search under the 'boots' section and then just check the drop-down menu for 70 cm size. I'll ask my friend if she shops for him anywhere else.

 

Man, I got lucky with my other boy, he has hooves so he doesn't need shoes. So this is my first encounter with trying to find shoes for a doll. It's harder than I thought it would be. lol Though on the plus side, I have ordered through Alice's Collections before for other things. They're actually who I got my DikaDoll body from.

 

Just got an e-mail from jeeryama on e-Bay that my Aqua head is on her way!

 

Eeeeee that's awesome!! When did you order? I ordered after you, but maybe I'll be next!

 

I ordered on December 18 and was warned that it would take extra time because of the Chinese New Year. But three months isn't all that bad.

 

Not bad at all! I ordered Feb 15 and I'm supposed to get it sometime in April....I was sort of expecting a delay but maybe it'll be on time! I can't wait to see yours!

 

I'm anxious to see Aqua too! I'm going on a little trip for a week. If the doll comes while I'm gone, and my daughter remembers to answer the doorbell, I should be posting pictures by late March/early April.

 

Maud (Aqua) was waiting for me when I got back from my trip! Here are two of my first photos.

 

Oh I love it!!! She looks amazing....I love that wig. What body do you have her on?? I need to think about a body for mine eventually....

 

The wig is a Monique Gold Label Collection "Bubbles" in turquoise and she's on a DikaDoll 60cm girl body with large chest.

 

Hmmmm I've been looking at bodies for mine (which shipped today! )....I don't like the old DK boy body but the new one is nice. I really want something immature or androgynous....and I don't want to sand boobs off again (I feel like I've done that a lot :\ ). Fdoll would be ok, but I hate three piece torsos. Though I owned one for awhile and it wasn't awful, I just don't like how it looks (other than Dollstown. Best one ever). I can afford it now though, and they have the paper white I ordered from DK.

I don't know!!! I really don't need a body for right away, but I don't know what to do with him if he's bodiless....

 

Yeah, I used to wonder what the floating head thing was all about, but after 5+ years in the hobby I finally realized that the body is the most expensive part of the doll.
I have enough dolls now that they are never all going to be displayed or photographed at the same time, so I'm just sharing bodies. Maud is actually sharing her body with a DikaDoll Jose head and a DikaDoll Kay head.
I like the DikaDoll girl body, although I see it as a bit stylized compared to other companies. I would ideally change one of the hands to be in a different position than the other, but that's about it.

 

Hi! Does anyone have a boy with the new body 73cm V.3? my boy has the three torso parts, and I really don't like it, so I'm thinking about changing it.
If his body were normal skon color, would look for another company, but his skin is gray, so I only have that option I guess.
The new body I like, although is expensive, but I really don't much like the one he has now...and as he is a fallen angel, always has naked torso

 

My Aqua head is here!!
I thought I would get a slip and have to pick him up today, but the carrier just left him! So now I wonder if it's the old carrier again....maybe she was just on vacay?

Either way, I love him to death. I need to take my time with him, so no rushed face up...but his wig looks amazing. So amazing I think I need to buy another one he can wear all the time and save this one for special occasions. Stupid Licht....I swear I feel like I am ordering from them every other day.

I gotta say, the eyes that came with are some of the weirdest I've seen....I don't have the slightest clue what they're even made from XD
He's not keeping them, I don't even know what eyes I want....something pale would probably be best....
