DiM (Doll in Mind) Mini Discussion Part 5

Oh Cydril, she is too cute! I love her style.

My Laia is getting mods and a faceup! The artist already modified her, she works so fast!!! I'm so happy with how she's looking so far

 

I completely forgot all about my Larina, but she's coming home soon in a few days! I'm so excited Can I get some Larina spam?

 

DimDoll has released some of their sculpts again, apparently for two weeks but it is worth having a look.

 

Thanks to the news here I've just checked out the tan Larina.
She's cute with that milk coffee colour. but I hope to see her in a much darker colour some day. ;-) I like some of the home-dye DIM dolls with those dark chocolate hues.

 

I hope it's okay to ask here, I've looked around for an answer quite a lot, and the most recent result I could find online is still three years old.

Does anybody know if DIM normal skin matches Doll Leaves normal skin? Or failing that, if it matches either of the new DollZone pink or yellow skins?
80% of a match is good for me.

I bought a Benetia head because I always liked her, but I'm not keen on the happy body so intend on hybriding!

 

I have/had two DIM hybrids, the first on a Dollmore kid, the second on a DC kid in pink, and both hybrids worked well. As DZ and DC are sister companies, the match is surely ok with their pink NS? But surely someone has more info.

 

Lots of people hybrid with Dollzone pink. Loongsoul pink works pretty well too. Those are the only two I know offhand.
There's a thread called DIM heads, bodies comparison, or something like that.

 

@nattherat I can't help you with Doll Leaves, but I just received a Dollzone body in normal pink for my Miru head. It's not a perfect match--the Dollzone body is noticeably pinker than the DIM head--but I think it qualifies as an 80% match. With a rosy faceup and clothes, she'll be fine.

FWIW, my other DIM hybrid, my Larina, is on a normal pink Loongsoul body. The resin match is nearly flawless, and the body itself is fantastic. I intend to eventually get another for my floating Gayane head.

 

@blukissed
Thank you! I did think DZ might be too pink but perhaps close enough. The new resin colours they brought in are a bit more "extreme" than the older ones. I suspect my Benetia will be covered up mostly, so it's good to know this is an option!

Thank you for the info about Loongsoul too. I'm after DZ or Doll Leaves for the look though, I'll take an imperfect resin match for the sake of the body aesthetic. Thank you everyone for the helpful replies so far!

 

@nattherat I have my DiM on the DZ old pink skin and it's a perfect match, but honestly, there's not really much difference between old and new. DZ resin does tend to vary batch to batch though.

 

I have most probably shared this pic on here before but it will have been at the beginning of this year. My Larina is on a DollLeaves body and the resin match is perfect, it looks as if it was made as a whole doll. i have more photos on my instagram account if you follow the link but do need to take more photos of this beautiful girl.

Ah, that's excellent, thank you so much! May I ask how she is posing? I'm tempted by a Dollzone body because I know from my existing dolls that in their more-recent bodies they have things like elbow-rotation down perfectly and the posing is excellent. Since Benetia is unplanned though, I really would prefer to go for the less-expensive but similar Doll Leaves body.

 

Whoops, I bought a Larina head and a half eyes closed Larina head~
Honestly, I'm looking forward to seeing which one suits my one girl more.... and if I'm going to make the other head her sibling. c.c

 

Has anyone tried a DIM head on the Doll Legend mini body? It seems like the color should work and I like the idea of having a 42 cm girl to go between my 40 cm Kid Delf and the 45 cm Dollzone body I'm planning for my other DIM head. Also, it's a pretty sculpt and it has heel feet.

 

I have two hybrids, one with Doll Leaves other with Dollzone. Dollzone body has more details like collarbones or ribs, but I like both hybrids.
Here is my Dakota (Dollzone b45-012)

She is absolutely beautiful, and I love this photo. Great composition.

My girl has been home a little while now. She still has no body, but I've been fiddling with her and trying different wigs. I'm having a hard time choosing whether she should have straight or curly hair.

Here's a (horrible) photo:

 

Aaahh, shes gorgeous @Dew_Drops !

 

Thank you soooo much!

I finally decided to order a Larina head in tan. I'm really excited! I will probably get her a body from a company that offers resin matching. I doubt DIM tan will match any other company, since even their NS is very hard to match.

 

DimDoll had released a couple of their heads sculpts again and I have no money to buy them.

 

Anyone know if Ace would fit on the Doll Leaves female MSD ver. II body?
