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. When you hold something close to the camera lens, no matter what it's gonna get a little fish eyed if you will. When you look at the reference photos compared to the sculpt the edges of the nostrils line up where they should with the eyes and lips. I think the noses just look big cause they're the closest things to the camera lens. If whoever was photographing them just took a step back or something and used a zoom rather than putting the sculpt so close to the lens it would most likely look perfect and less blurry. XB
      I'm not a professional photographer myself, but yeah. Just what I think.
      Do your side photos look any better? Either of you? XD;;
       
    2. Thanks for sharing those! That is really helpful!!! And exactly what I was trying to find the words to ask about. He looks good before the mods but really close after.

      You are 100% correct -- it's kinda like looking in the back of a spoon. I didn't get a real profile preview, just the front and two 3/4 views, so a profile was what I asked for. I think that'll make it a lot easier to determine what I'm looking at.
       
    3. That is EXACTLY what happened with my minimee preview pictures. My husband is a professional photographer, and he said that was what was going on. When I was debating if my head needed to be modified, we searched though to find a picture of me from that angle (the joys of having a photographer husband, I have tons of pictures of me :sweat ), did a transparency over the image, and low and behold, the nose matched up!
       
    4. Kyo's nose has come out pretty big.. but I really like it! XD So I didn't ask to have it modded. And if it turns out that it's just the photograph making it seem big, that's fine :3 (though I'm actually sort of fond of it :sweat)

      Here are the photos ^^;

      Kyo before mods. (ololol vampire!! XD Kyo, had he joined Malice Mizer..?)

      :3 So there we go! I'm.. totally in love with him XD <3
       
    5. omg that is awesome!! it looks just like Kyo ^^ haha the vampire teeth is funny. I love how he has his mouth open like that ^^ its awesome
       
    6. Uknows-Lurve: He does look brilliant *o* Denny's team have really outdone themselves, I feel. And looool, I thought the teeth were really funny too XD

      (PS: Chaaarrrliiieeee! Chaaarrrrliiiieee! Chaaaaaarrrrrliiiieeeee! We're on a bridge, Charlie!)
       
    7. yes denny's team is amazing!! cant wait to be done saving and get them to do my little cutey!! haha
      (PS: haha thats my favorite part in the vid XD lol)
       
    8. Kazzii - your Kyo head looks great! I don't think you have to worry about ours looking to much alike with how the mouth looks. I have never seen a resin mouth like that before. It looks good. You would think the mouth inside would look funny, but it doesn't.
      This makes me even more excited for my group order pics to start coming in!

      Hey, are any of these September orders by any chance? Hyde was ordered on the 4th or 5th, so I am wondering how fast we'll see those....
      I am starting to get excited and impatient now. I was doing really good bfore, but now....... I am glad this is all going down with the distraction of Halloween. Now November is going to be really dificult.
       

    9. I ordered mine on Sept 1 their time, so I guess that makes it a September order.
       
    10. Wow, Kazzii, he looks totally awesome!! Lucky! And those vampire teeth are priceless... it totally changes the whole look of him.
       
    11. @ Kazaii: Damn girl he looks AMAZING!!! That shoot of him with the black hair and red shirt is one of my favourite photoshoots of him period! XD

      I can't wait to see him finished <3

      Sabriell
       
    12. Thanks, guys! >w< I really do adore him. I was a little worried about how the inside of his mouth might look too, but now I'm satisfied that it'll look fine ^^

      Sabriell: It's one of mine too!! X3 That's why I knew I had to have Kyo with an open mouth ^^; I'm so glad about how he's turned out *__*

      Strangely, in all my searching for clothes, I haven't looked for anything like in that shoot.. o_o I need to start looking for the right wig, and shirt..! And boxers.. XDDD
       
    13. He looks like he is hungry and he wants to scream "Feed Me Seymour!!" :o

      That is so awesome!! This makes me so excited, I cant wait till I have preview pics!!!
       
    14. Wow Kazzii!! That's so awesome! His expression is reaaaaally awsome!


      PS "It's a leopluradon, Charlie!"
       
    15. aangita: rofl I know!! XD FEEEED MEEEE!

      kobatastic: Thank you! ^o^ I just confirmed everything with Denny ^^;;; So now he just needs to be cast, and that's it! I can't BELIEVE it! I'm so lucky and excited >w<

      And I have to say, Denny is being fantastic. I never thought he'd be so attentive and quick to reply to emails!


      (ololol leopluradon XD That's my favourite bit!)
       
    16. Kazzii: He looks awesome ;D

      (...a MAGICAL leopluradon!)
       
    17. Denny really is awesome to work with. He's always so interested and wants to make sure everyone's happy with what they're getting! O_O;
      I've never had such excellent customer service! He's got to be so busy all the time but always responds to questions personally! <3
      I love this project muchly! <3<3<3

      "He has shown us the way!"
      "it didn't say anything!!"
       
    18. YAY Die, Toshiya and Aoi have been shipped~!!!!! Plus I got a special gift hihi ^_~*
      Thank you so much Denny, it really was a pleasure doing business with you and the Minimee artist team <3

      Sabriell
