DiM (Doll in Mind) Mini Discussion Part 5

Thank you, that's very helpful
I wonder if anyone was going to order Aria or Trisha? They are just gorgeous...

P.s. doll by tiinavanhatupa

 

You’re welcome!
Yes you’re right, what a beautiful doll I wish I can order one of each I’m afraid to add more to the list of dolls I that are already have on GO - what if they all are green lighted

 

I appreciate the thought! There sure are a lot of different heads being ordered across the board. In fact I think we're in a weird position where group orders aren't as necessary as most of us thought, because there's such a large volume of people trying to order heads beyond the original three (though they are still useful for saving on shipping within one country).

I might be wrong, but I don't feel like I remember there ever being this sort of rush for DiM's work in the time I've enjoyed their dolls! It's well-deserved of course. It'd be nice if it convinced him to reopen haha, but this does sound like the last hurrah.

 

I already own Gayane, Annabeth and Larina and they're all gorgeous sculpts. I'd definitely be interested in a whole load more but I don't want to overwhelm poor Denny with random requests heh. I miss DIM, they really nailed the aesthetic I love. Big ol' pouty lips galore! lol.

I'm looking at the obscure sculpts and pining after Lucinda and Amelie. lol. Gotta find really old sculpts I can't have don't I?

I'd love if Denny would reopen but i'm being realistic.

Still, Lucinda and Amelie are gorgeous. Can I add those to my wishlist?

 

I think out of all the rarer, older DIM heads... if I could dream of having a chance to own any of them it would be Owain. I'm so sad I missed that sculpt, I can't remember when it was discontinued but it's so, so rare to see it, and I really doubt there would be 25 orders of it this time around.

I know several of the molds were damaged over time and that was part of why the discontinuations happened. I wonder what happened to the Owain mold.

BTW, as it currently stands for the US GO -

Larina: 14
Laia: 5
Flowne: 7

"wishlist"
Annabeth: 5
Leonora: 2
Marcellina: 1
Jullis: 1
Terrence: 1

 

@PhDolls here's my boy Theon. He's a little less bobble headed in person, I originally wanted to put him on the DZ body I already had but Annabeth is on the larger side of MSD heads and it just looked silly. Dream Valley have quite broad shoulders which definitely balances things out more

 

@Dew_Drops Owain such a cutie. Him and Harlech-my number one dream DIM doll would be Bbjorn. He was released for such a short time and was never restocked when sold out I think when Denny announced the last order before closing shop, I had wanted to see if anyone else was interested in putting an order for him but sadly, no interest

 

Theon looks fantastic on that body

 

Thank you so much~

 

I feel the same Nat. It'd be great if he could come back, even if it was just on a preorder basis like how some of the smaller casters do it (Ninodoll being one I'm thinking of).

Owain was actually in my list that was tentatively confirmed, but I decided on Harlech since I needed to cut down. I just realised Harlech wasn't on the list I sent in the email, but I'm hoping it won't be an issue.

 

I emailed Denny a question about adjusting orders after the head counts are in and it seems he is ok with it (I finally got an email from him about the DIM minis announcement lol) Denny is such champ


“I wanted to ask, when the orders are closed, would you announce what doll heads made it to the 25 count and would you give us a day to readjust our order? I would like a Terrence head, but if he doesn’t make it to 25 I would like to change it to the head that did make it to 25 or is close to 25. I also wanted to ask if Bbjorn is possible to order (or if the mold is too damaged?)

==> No problem.
Re : Original Sculpts, It needs to be repaired little, Mold is only used for very small number of production and thrown away.
But not major repair, So if there are any model meets 25pcs, then I will do repair(Needs 4 weeks) and start the process.”

So no need to ask if orders can be adjusted (they can be) If I don’t get Terrence I’d be happy to get a Galahad or Edmon or Leonora

 

Thank you, Theon looks awesome! I had ordered the same body from DV fot him back in February, because the head is on a bigger side. Glad to see from your picture that the hybrid seems very harmonic The skin tone seems to be quite closely matched too.

 

@sugarstitch
This is exactly the plan I have for my Annabeth if I can get the heads ! So happy to see it works out, thanks for sharing. Now just hoping I can get the head QQ

 

@Shin__ Since a count of 7~ in the GOs here is pretty high considering how big the internet is, I went ahead and signed on for 2 Annabeths as promised. So there is at least one more Annabeth in the hat.

And if not Annabeth I signed up for 2 more Larinas so I have fun either way and feel no regrets.

 

Posting a picture of my Annabeth boy (still waiting for his DV body) to create a bit more enthusiasm around this fantastic sculpt. I would say it is one of my favourite of all time, if not THE favourite!

 

@PhDolls Last night my girlfriend was ripping on me about how many "favorite sculpts" I have and I was like, "I'm 90% it's Annabeth though!"

I've thought of a LOT of storyline options when looking at various Annabeths. She's just such a versastile sculpt while having this lean to realism and I love it. If she had existed completely unlimited when I found out about her I'd have ten and one would look a lot like Anya Taylor-Joy in The Witch.

Anyway, your boy is beautiful! The lips on his faceup give me a vibe I've seen on a lot of Switch heads.

 

I have been considering throwing my hat in for a Gayane. Definitely asking for an OE Laia too. These heads can multiply fast…!

But I agree, I initially thought it would be very difficult to make up the numbers, because the DIM tags on social media do not seem to be populated much. I also see the same tiny handful of sculpts sit in the second hand market for ages (might be something to do with the prices…) so I had no idea that so many folks would be jumping at this!

Which is, of course, the best possible outcome! Here’s hoping as many heads as possible can be made!

 

@PhDolls The resin is closer in person too, but since DIM is more pale it should be easy to blush the head to match. And your boy is gorgeous~! Theon's going to be a freckled ginger, hoping to get some work done on him and his Larina gf soonish

@Shin__ No problem at all~ I really hope you can get enough orders

@staghaus Oooh, adore the idea of an Anya Taylor-Joy doll, especially Thomasin inspired

I'll definitely have to check out the list of available heads once all the orders are in, there's just something special about DIM sculpts

 

Thanks! Yeah, I feel you ^.^ The faceup is made by barbelo - I was very lucky to buy the head secondhand with the makeup already! I first thought I'd be repainting it into a blond girl, but when I got the parcel there was no way I would repaint this beauty as I instantly fell in love with him and bought him his own body That's how it starts, right? hehehe

 

@PhDolls your Annabeth boy is so pretty- love the eyeshadow on him I agree with @staghaus, there is something about those lips

@Shin__ i hope we can all get Annabeth
I want to see staghaus’s Anya Taylor-Joy come to life

@nattherat lol been looking at her as well I agree- I keep looking at the GOs and I’m so happy many people are still loving DIM.

@sugarstitch Ive been watching the Marketplace for any DIM Love heads for a while now- yes something definitely alluring about DIM’s sculpts. For me it’s the combination of eye shape and pouty lips I purchased a few heads from one of Dennys sculptors who has an open shop on Etsy. 2 are the same SD heads (I posted some pics in DIM Love Discussion- looks a lot like DIM Lloyd) and I have a Yo-SD from her that looks so much like Benetia I can’t wait to mix all these dolls together in a photoshoot
