DiM (Doll in Mind) Mini Discussion Part 5

I haven't heard anything about any other stock myself.

 

From what I read in a different forum:

"Stock item special offer - ACE head(White) 10pcs / Jullis head(White) 5pcs"

 

I asked to add a Annabeth to my order if the quantity is reached - Denny got back to me quickly and invoiced me for the Larina I ordered and said he's added me to the list for a Annabeth.
I wasn't originally going to go for a Annabeth but the more I looked the more I could imagine one being part of my doll family so I hope we'll reach the number needed!

 

Ah this is unfortunate he did not tell me about Jullis, since that would have been relevant to my GO. Unfortunately it’s a little late now…

 

I asked him about it as well, I think they were claimed fairly quickly? But I'm not 100% sure. He was only able to include one Jullis for our GO.

 

Ah yeah, I just thought of that! Jullis is gorgeous and I adore my own very much, I can imagine they were snapped up before I got any stock counts!

 

Just to let you all know, that's the last of Denny's emails I got:

"The number is changed everyday. Annabeth is now 11 from 13 yesterday.
Other sculpts are very low number at the moment."

So I believe some people backed out...

 

Depending on how recent this email is, this may either be my GO, or the number is now a further two depleted.

Unfortunately since my GO is for the original three heads primarily and there are participants waiting on those heads, I couldn’t risk their (or my) orders being too late.

At this point, I’d really suggest somebody run an Annabeth-specific GO?

 

Won't more have been dropped also since the US GO dropped wishlist heads? It's such a shame. I'd run an Annabeth GO if we had more time but one day isn't going to be enough time. I know I was disappointed when I first missed out.

EDIT: Not blaming the GO runners, re-reading and worried it comes across that way. Definitely not and understand why they had to drop them. I meant it's a shame it just didn't reach the total in time.

 

Yeah, I received Denny's email this morning. I guess I should just order from the original 3 sculpts at the moment.... Such a pity about Annabeth though.

 

No worries, no offence taken! I imagine @Dew_Drops and I ended up in similar or identical positions on this one, and had the responsibility to go ahead with what we could to ensure our participants don’t miss out on an order period.

But that’s also why maybe a sculpt specific GO is a good idea. I think the best way to try and get the ideal outcome would be for everyone who wants Annabeth to pool together and make it to 25, and then one representative from that group asks Denny. That way he isn’t being swamped with the same request multiple times so it’s respectful of him but also shows him that there’s enough people willing to drop the cash for a run there and then.

I think what many have said here is true; Annabeth may well have been possible with a little more time. Put together a GO, get 25, send him an email in another few weeks’ time, and see what happens? So long as it is one respectful email that shows the 25 orders ready to go, then that will make his life easier and he can say yay or nay. If he says nay, then nobody is any worse off than they are right now, and if he says yay then everyone wins!

 

Denny said he will keep Annabeth open longer, but there's currently 11-12 taken, so would need at least 14 more, if I do a Group Order would there be interest?

You'd have to have not sent your order to Denny directly as it would cause some confusion otherwise.

 

I'm still interested in getting an Annabeth if there were to be a GO opened for her I joined the US GO (which was already placed I believe) but I don't mind joining another GO if it means getting another DIM head, especially if its going to be open for a while until we reach 25 :3

 

Is 11/12 BEFORE or AFTER the orders were resumed to regular ones ? Cause as it is, I forfeited mines and so did the US GO ?

 

That's AFTER people from the GOs backed out and only opted for the three initial heads.

 

I just heard back from Denny and it's good news!

"I will surely wait for other models to be reached to minimum order. Dont worry. Time is no matter."

I'd say we should definitely try to reach 25pc at least for Annabeth. But maybe for other sculpts too since time doesn't matter!

 

Is Denny slowly coming back to dolls? Lol jk, I’m super happy he is considering other sculpts with more leeway I’ll have to email him later and ask if any SD sized heads had any requests (unless anyone here already asked?)

 

His email says he is retiring entirely so I doubt it.

I am in quite a problematic situation now…
If we can get Annabeth she is a grail of mine but since I have paid for my alternate order, I no longer have the funds….

 

This is very very kind of him, if he is serious!

I think other sculpts may still be much harder, and in general one of the things that held other sculpts back was that he only publicly announced three. Many folk aren’t active on DOA, so they saw the three names, assumed that was it, and either made an order or didn’t.

This is why I think a sculpt-specific GO is necessary, to draw attention to Annabeth (or whoever) solely.

If someone does one for Gayane, let me know…

 

DM’d you!
