DiM (Doll in Mind) Mini Discussion Part 6

Thank you so much @PhDolls @krystina

DZ/DC white is creamier than DiM white, but for me it's not a deal breaker. Looking at my Benetia now, maybe the head has mellowed a bit along with the body but the difference really isn't super noticeable, though I guess it depends on how picky you are

 

DF-A pink skin is also a very close match (I have a head from them).
I wondered about Charm normal pink. Any experience of hybrids with DIM? I'm thinking about ordering a boy body for the (hopefully soon) coming Larina head.

 

I have two dim dolls on other bodies. DFH "pink" and Doll Leaves "normal" are both very good matches.
Resinsoul's normal looks to be fairly close as well.

 

Resinsoul normal matches pretty much perfectly with Doll Leaves normal so it'd be a safe bet imo

 

I have my Flowne on a DollLeaves body, and both white and normal skin matches DiM. The bodies are nice, and it doesn't hurt that they're budget friendly.

 

Watched House of the Dragon last night and seeing the Targaryen family in all their glory reminded me of Felix He would fit so well in this universe- the look the props, the outfit

 

Got my heads today thanks to @Dew_Drops GO I will post blank heads a little later and I I’ll post some resin comparisons (probably in a separate thread) with the dolls I have on hand.

 

Oh wow, sounds like a lot of heads are turning up now. I'm excited. Hopefully that means the uk go will be soon then?
And then we can play the "is this julius or ace?" game with my mystery head lol. Even Denny didn't seem to know. Which is HILARIOUS to me.

 

Lol was the mystery head not labeled or something when he was going through his stock? I got one of the Julis, mine must’ve been labeled when he was going through them Also wanted to add: this head looks SD sized It looks way bigger then the Larina and the Flowne I got with my order.

 

Larina and, even more, Laia look tiny compared to Annabeth too! But, as a Blythe collector, every single time I go back to any of my bjds their heads look unproportionally small to me That's professional deformation hehe.

Oh wow, thanks! Haven't checked on the HoD yet, but I already know that Larina-boy is going to be another white-haired kiddo of the family

 

Very-very excited for you and for all of us! I haven't got my shipping notice so far, but neither do I have bodies for the three coming heads though One is in the making (for Laia), but g*d knows how long the Dream Valley will take this time.

 

@PhDolls Laia another smaller sculpt?! I’m kicking myself now I didn’t get her XD lol I guess all bjds would be considered tinies if you’re so used to seeing Blythes all day Ooo and your getting another Targaryen?! i don’t have bodies ready either Im looking at both SD (if there were any on smaller size) and MSD bodies that are slightly bigger- mostly looking for bodies with a similar neck size for the old boy bodies for Julis. So far I found Dika (8cm) and Universedoll (7.5cm) that I like :3 I’m still thinking of Dream Valley as an option

 

Here is some cell phone pics of the heads when they first arrived:

You can see the older sculpt white has mellowed a bit compared to the newer white. I compared both of these heads to the Arttong white and Luts white I have - they seem to have a yellow undertone where as the Arttong and Luts have a pinkish undertone(?). I'll post comparisons this weekend.

 

Question for those that are getting their heads. Did you get a shipping/tracking number notice? I haven't heard from Denny since I made the payment. Didn't get a confirmation email after the payment either but I assumed it was normal. I know that heads are still being shipped, but I do wonder if I should be mailing Denny to make sure all is good!

 

For the GO I was in, Dew_Drops said he received the tracking information through PayPal, not email from Denny

Edit: sorry didn’t read all your question- im not sure about the confirmation after payment

 

The answer to this is that I specified one sculpt to him, because he only gave me the option of one sculpt, and then when he invoiced, he listed the other sculpt in the invoice!

@purple_monkfish likes both sculpts fortunately, so we have a kind of mystery box situation going - who knows which head will show up?

 

and to be fair, ace and julius are twins anyway. They are SO similar i'm gonna have to rely on you guys to help me work out which one it is hahahaha.

regarding DIM head sizes, there is no consistancy there. Annabeth has a really big head, Gayanne's is similarly large but a touch smaller due to having a narrower jaw. Laia and Larina are dinky little things. Also there's zero consistancy as to whether they have a head cap or their whole face comes off. It's so wierd.

Annabeth's head looks really good on a taller broader body though, balances that big ol' noggin out.

 

Gah I hope I get Ace, I already have Julis.

And thanks for the updates on white skin. I have a few white skin heads needing bodies I really am so sad DIM is gone now. They have such lovely sculpts.

 

Hehe, well, I didn't really plan him as a Targaryen, but I knew from the beginning I wanted to make a snow-blond boy out of Larina. Felix (Annabeth) ending up white-haired came more of a surprise )

Oh wow, pink looks VERY pink this time. Do you think they changed the resin or is it the colour balance on the photo? I wondered if you have other dim heads in pink from previous releases and if the skin tone looks very different. Thank you very much for the photos anyway!

 

Yes I was surprised at how bright and pink the NS looked at first. But I compared it to my other NS dolls and it’s actually lighter or it matched very close. I don’t know if their NS changed I don’t have any other DIM to compare it too I’m almost done with a resin comparison of all my dolls, I’ll link the thread when complete.
