1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Dim Minimee Update & Talk Part 1

Dec 26, 2006

    1. Awesome! I'm excited to see your minimee Cheshire! (owner pics at any rate XD)

      Since you are the first to get your minimee, would you be so kind as to make a database? <3
       
    2. I am VERY interested, please keep me/us posted!!
       

    3. I think Denny said that blackpaperbag's would be done at the same time as mine, so I may not be the first.

      If I am, though, I will start up a database.
       
    4. I want my Minimee! Its cool that they're starting to get cast finally. I can't wait.
       
    5. :o

      ...I don't think that's possible, seeing as I had to make some changes. It would be lovely if it were true, but unless the sculptor sculpts at the speed of light, I doubt it could be modified and cast by Monday :sweat

      I haven't gotten a shipping notice either. So I think yours WILL be the very first! Congrats!
       

    6. No, you're right. It wasn't you. It was riversofblood.

      For some reason your SN got stuck in my head.
       
    7. Huzzah! :D Once I get a reply back for eyesize, I can go shopping for eyes <3
       
    8. Treelore: I'm tickled you like it. I'm over the moon with it ... we went for the 80% Reality sculpt. I figure there's going to be stuff that isn't an exact replication, so the result is also doll-like and in keeping with the ABJD aesthetic. I actually think the dissimilarities here don't really account for 20% of the whole!

      Loki: I showed Zach your comment and he was full of blushes and smiles. Of course I would say this as his mum, but I think he's pretty gorgeous inside and out. It's definitely one of the reasons I wanted to do this. Thank you!

      What is really cool about this project is a number of these sculpts look like dolls I'd be drawn to and want to buy. I can't wait to see them completed and fully accessorised!

      When the database is created, it would be great to ask those who are willing to include one of the original reference photos (if they can bear the disclosure), the sculpt before casting (these pics) and then the final head cast and made up.

    9. In Denny's FAQ on Minimees, he says eye size for SD-sized dolls is 16mm (give or take) and 14mm for minis.

      Lisa
       
    10. I think he said my mini takes 18mm, but she does have HUGE doll-style eyes.

      I need a wig size u.u Oh well, I'll be able to measure her soon enough.
       
    11. Yeh that makes sense. Actually when he gets a little older I think he will look allot like that head its almost a preview ;)

       
    12. He also said it varies from mold to mold. I asked to see if it would be possible to take a picture with the reccommended size for my doll and the size smaller.

      I want to make sure I get the right size for her look (shes an adult, and she's a very intense woman), so I want to make sure she doesn't look doe-eyed.
       
    13. I think this is spot on! The sculpt does look like a more adult version of him.

      I teased him if he ever decided he wanted a nose job in future, he could use this as a model. ;) (this didn't actually play as mean as it sounds ... we both laughed)

    14. LOL I said to my husband that I could have one done like me now and use it for a face lift in 10 years! but I did warn him that dennys heads are 80&#37; realistic so I might end up a bit different. Hey it could be fun! ouch!
       
    15. New Minimee orders for April are now open at dimdoll.com. Make a note that orders for a celebrity likeness will cost an extra $50, and requesting changes after you receive pictures will also cost extra depending on how big the changes are.
       
    16. NICE!

      Let me see how much money I can scrounge up in a week.
       
    17. I guess that means they're ALL done?
       
    18. Reading you guys' posts and how excited you are is making me all giddy! This is so exciting!!

      I will defiantely be buying an SD sized one of myself. I want to be able to participate in my dolls daily lives: not as some giant omniscient voice, but as one of them. I think that would be really really awesome, and it would make the photostories more fun too! :D
       
    19. I ordered one of my daugther, she is 13. This is one of photos I sent to Denny:

      And this is one of the photos from the minimee head:

      cheers,

    20. Wonderful, smile_again!!!

      Your daughter is lovely- is she a model????



      I got the final pictures for my minimee! I'm trying to sell enough to order another BJD minimee! :D (once I get payments, I'm only short $60!) :dance:
