DiM (Doll in Mind) Mini Discussion Part 6

Ooo thanks for the info, this is great to hear

 

No problem, I meant to post it earlier! Just been busy with work.

 

This thread will be semi-quiet until we all get our new heads in I know, but I am so excited for it! We’re closer now I think!

I’m so excited to finally be getting Laia, for sure. I don’t have the finances for her new body yet (Charmdoll, they are amazing), but I suppose I better try and get the funds soon haha!

 

Do we have any estimate on how long they may take?
I'm trying to work out when all the things i've ordered are due and it's getting confusing lol. I have the DIM heads who will of course need bodies at some point. I have another artist head. I have my frapzilla doll due "soon" and Magic Mirror doll which we've not heard anything about since the preorder.
Man, I really splurged lol.

Thinking about bodies. I quite like the Myou body I have for my Wol so i'm tempted to get another for one of the DIM heads. I'll have to dig out my Larina and see how she looks on it. It's a nice curvy body which I appreciate. I like big hipped female dolls heh.
The other body I was considering was Dollits (*but I don't know what's going on with them atm, they were changing sites or something) or something similar. I know the sort of SHAPE I want, it's just figuring out which will work/fit best and costs. Charmdoll also has some really nice bodies, I agree with Nat there.

I'm considering also whether I want to go with similar body shapes for Laia and Larina or not. I'm leaning toward going for a completely different body shape because I like diversity but also because it would help to differentiate them.
As for Ace/Julius (whichever he is lol.) i'm umming and ahhing because as he's white skin and old stock i'm not totally sure what colour he'll actually BE when he arrives. I'll likely end up dying him which means I am not as restricted by resin colours for bodies.
I really like my DFH body that I have Annabeth on and they've released a shorter slender body which looks nice, but i'm not sure how the proportions will work. DIM doesn't have very consistant head sizes, some are substantially more melonheaded than others.

Hybrids are stressful which is why I usually wait til I have the doll IN HAND to test on various bodies I already own and then compare those measurements to bodies i'm considering.

I'm excited to get these heads but also kinda nervous because hybrids are a challenge to put together.

 

@purple_monkfish Best guess is 90 days/standard three months. We’re not far in enough to really be emailing him yet, we’re just… closer than before due to the nature of linear time.

 

Oh, that's exactly the time when I'm starting to get excited - maybe just in a bit over a month we'll be getting them

Meanwhile, my long-waited for Dream Valley body for my Felix (Annabeth, boy) has finally arrived! I'll be posting some pictures of him as soon as I get some time to properly restring him (DV bodies are ridiculously tight, rghh!)

 

yes I’m still debating on what body to get for Julis. I really like the UniverseDoll 1/4 body but not sure about the resin match. Gonna hunt for some resin matches later- I’m thinking I can search matches for DIM, then see if those matches match Universe. For Flowne and Larina, I really want the UFDoll body but I can’t seem to find a dealer If I can’t get that body, probably go with Guard Love.
I’m excited to see pics of your Annabeth boy

 

Isn’t he pretty?! I had Terrence on my sculpt wishlist when we sent out our Laia,Larina, Flowne GO. I’m pretty sure there is no where near the numbers for him to be produced, but I can still dream and look for him in the marketplace

 

AHah I got the body for the Annabeth too. I just. Don't have the Annabeth So it'll go to the ones that'll come instead.

 

I'm sorry we couldn't get the Annabeth order to fill. I thought for sure we'd have a few people.

 

Me too, that's so sad we weren't able to reach the numbers... But hey, at least we'll be getting the other three ones.

Really sorry I was sure we'd get her casted. I was willing to buy three to reach the number, but no luck.

Thanks! Will post the pics, hopefully soon.
I've been thinking about which body to get for Larina-boy. Charm body would be amazing, but I'm also considering some cheaper body, maybe Doll Leaves one. I went broke this year with all the bjd purchases haha

 

That's so sad the Annabeth won't be casted. Well, I got mine second-hand, and there will be the other three, but I'd like to see more Annabeth's around.

Speaking of which, @PhDolls I'm really looking forward to seeing your Annabeth boy!

 

I just checked my email because it’s been a while, and Denny gave an ETA of 3-4 months! So we’re about halfway.

 

whooo half way!

 

I haven't got any e-mail from him yet. Did anybody get something except Nat?

 

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply the email was a new one. I meant in our original email exchange, back in May, he gave the estimate of 3-4 months.

I haven't had any emails from him since placing the order.

 

Hi all. I just got a tracking number update on the order in Paypal, for the USA group order. So I am sure you all will be receiving an update soon Yay!

 

Ahh okay! I'm so sorry! I understood it wrongly
How did you find tracking number on Paypal @Dew_Drops ?

 

Ooh that's very exciting! Nothing for me yet, but that's really cool that you got one so soon, and also probably means the UK/EU GO will follow shortly too!
