DiM (Doll in Mind) Mini Discussion Part 5

Ahhhh, I can't believe it! I saw the Larina head back in stock only an hour ago and now she's ordered. I'm hoping to hybrid her with the doll leaves girl body. I still can't believe I just did that. I haven't even created her character yet (though she was on my wishlist).

 

@xxkittymexx - Congrats! It is almost funny to see the Larina head back up. If only some other heads went back up for sale too!

But when did the new head Violeta go up? And those attachable? ears are cute!

 

@Cyador Thank you for the good news!!

The notice for the release of Violetta on DiM website was posted on 05-24-17 15:11 and the head product code confirms that date too.

She's so cute!

 

Oh I like Violetta a lot! She reminds me of the older DiM's. And they have a new faceup artist it looks like.

How do those elf ear parts work though? The human ears are clearly part of the faceplate

 

It looks like they are offering white skin now too, very tempting....

 

@Cydril I asked about the elf ears on the product Q&A a few days ago and got an answer from DiM today:

 

I just got my Annabeth back from a face-up after 'sitting' on her a few months. Why are there so many people that hybridize the DIM heads with other manufactured bodies?

 

Well, the discontinuation events were fairly sudden for some folks, so a lot of people just bought up the heads, as they hadn't financially planned on a full doll.

There are also some who aren't huge fans of the Happy body, though the GSE seems widely regarded as a great body. So I guess it's all down to preference.

 

I hear posing and aesthetics a lot for reasons.
Personally, I fall under what Lilac mentioned, the event popped up suddenly and it was cheaper to just get a head.
Honestly the only reason my Larina ended up on the body he's on came down to pure curiosity and and bonding mishap that left me with a floating body

 

I also brought the heads because it was the last event and I could find money for a couple of heads but not whole dolls. When they arrived it was just luck that my Larina went on a DollLeaves body, I had ordered the body for someone else, it arrived two days after the Dim heads, didn't suit who it was meant for but looks as if it was made for the Dim head.
I looked at the boy Dim body and didn't like the aesthetic for my dolls so ended up buying a body that suited me.

 

After handling a friend's Happy girl, I wasn't impressed with the posing, so I would have gotten hybrids anyway. The only thing I regret is I should have ordered hands to go with them. I really liked the DIM hands.

 

Say hello to my boy, Ash :"> He's a Jullis sculpt :3
I had him with me for a while but this is my first post here

 

I was planning a Dollstown Elf body for my Annabeth to make her the older sibling ... but she's so adorable on the Happy body (which I bought hoping to get my hands on an Amelie for a baby sister) she got to keep it. I don't own any other immature MSD bodies so I can't compare posing, but I love the sculpting and look of the DiM bodies.

 

Ooh, so pretty boy!

 

I finally gave my dyed DIM Ace a face-up so I thought I'd share him here. Not thrilled with the placement of his eyebrows (they're higher than I intended) but my hope is once he has his wig that won't matter much.

At least he looks very approachable, which is what I wanted. One of his nicknames is "Teddy" after all.



I'm also trying to decide if his 16mm eyes are too large for him.

 

He looks great! I love those green eyes. I will repaint my Ace someday, but for now his factory faceup will have to do.

 

Thank you so much, @thessalyrose! I think he's going to stick with these eyes after all---I just love how they compliment his skintone. I'm hoping to order his wig here in the next few weeks.

 

All your DIM are awesome, I expect I will have one day a Belosse !

 

It's new Hio' wig from awesome Amadiz studio

 

So pretty!!!
