Do Dolls Dream Marionette Line

Hey, I know the feeling! Every other DDD order I wanted in on, I had a tooth go bad and need pulled. This is a fourth time's the charm. She'll happen for you!

 

I just placed an order on layaway for an Angelic Pink Leona and I’m ridiculously excited ❤️

 

I decided to go for a Paulianne faceup this year, since I've always admired their work. And I was able to get a slot! I'm so excited!!

 

Hi, I changed my order to Aurelia & Lulleby Aurelia, not in Woodland Echo, but changed to Ghostly Moon. I am so excited! Also a bit scared too of how it will turn out…

Anyone else felt tempted by that resin and ordered a doll in it? Which head(s) did you pick?

 

I have Charlotta human on layaway in Angelic Pink resin also the extra hands and feet as well because I might want them in the future. I didn't get an extra head because Charlotta was the only doll I've wanted since I discovered these dolls last year and missed out on last years preorder.

I'm planning on getting her painted by Paulianne, my idea for her faceup is a Draculaura inspired faceup except no fangs, I think she'll look so cute, I'm excited haha.

It was really tough trying to choose a resin skintone but I eventually settled on Angelic Pink because I've always wanted a pink doll.

Edit: I submitted another order during the preorder period and I'm getting another girl, Lullaby Lily in Cyber Tenshi, I can't wait to see Ghostly Moon and Whiny Angel resins in person.

 

Thank you for this! I was wondering as well. This was very helpful. I have ordered Ursula in Caramel Forest with Lullaby Ursula as an example head, and the feral hands/feet set.

I’m excited. But I’m a bit concerned that this may be the first time I get stung with customs fees. From her site it looks like she doesn’t under declare. To be fair I’m not sure I’d want her to since the package is so valuable it’d be horrible if something happened to it mid post or it went astray. Anyone have experience with DDD packages? (I’m in NZ and if goods are over 1000NZD they’re subject to fees etc)

 

@Buzzibee I'm from the UK and I got stung with custom fees. She definitely won't underdeclare. I had to pay 20% of the total value in fees and considering I bought 2 dolls it was a big chunk of money.

Maybe you could ask if she'd send the extra head and hands and feet in a separate parcel so then you'd have 2 parcels under (hopefully) 1000 instead of one over 1000. Obviously you'd pay extra shipping, but if that's cheaper than the custom charges it might be something to consider?

 

Does anyone know if she marks the County of Origin as Poland or China (since I think F Doll casted the last preorder)?

I'm trying to mentally prepare myself since I live in the US and I'd need to budget for the insane tariff if marked as Made in China. I don't think it was last time I ordered, but I don't 100% remember

 

Iirc she marks the origin as Poland!! I’m in Canada, so it doesn’t matter much to me what country the origin is, but I think it’s Poland. I’d budget for the insane tariff just in case I’m wrong though!

 

@ViperOrchid - I just checked my shipping box from the Miss Marionette preorder before this most recent one and it says "Office of origin" is Poland, destination from Poland, etc. Nothing at all about China.

But it is wise to prepare just in case. The uncertainty is frustrating (I have orders that will come from China, Spain, and Korea, so I am concerned too). In theory I can see how tariffs could be a tool for good, but the current implementation seems rather confusing and potentially unfair to people in lower-income brackets. But anyway - this isn't the place to continue the subject! - I just hope things become more clear and balanced soon.

On the more positive subject, I am so excited about my planned DoDollsDream + MerryDollRound hybrid! I fell in love with Olathe the first time I saw her; however, finding a body in the right size/color was difficult. But I think this is going to be perfection!

Olathe has a very narrow neck opening and Miss Marionettes have wide necks so the hybrid needs modding. I don't want to modify either doll (I still want to use the Lullaby Ao head). So I plan to sculpt a special neck joint for Olathe and have it scanned and printed. It won't match perfectly in color or texture, but I'm fine with that.

Before I can do this I have to unstring her, which is scary, because she is TIGHTLY strung. But I'll work up the courage soon!

 

@Chameleon @StellaMarigold Thank you guys! That's good to know, but I will still prepare just in case. ^^

@StellaMarigold And I can't wait to see how your Hybrid turns out, I wouldn't have thought of sculpting a new joint!

 

@ViperOrchid - Thank you! I hope to sculpt my own dolls at some point. I've only practiced with heads (using LaDoll clay) so far, but it is a start. In this case, since I didn't want to change either Olathe or the body I figured it was the only way, and the shape is basically a tube with a hole drilled through it, so it should be very easy.

 

I forgot to post it here, but I got my Charlotta back from Komorebi Dolls! I absolutely love how she turned out.

 

@ViperOrchid Wow, she looks beautiful! I love her eyes!

 

@Amadiel Thank you!! I was aiming for an ethereal look and I think these eyes work so well for that!

 

I fully paid off my girl!!!!!!

Now I have to make sure I have enough for whatever terrifying customs fees I might have.

 

I have my Magaret painted, but I don't really like the eyebrow. I'm planning to get a new makeup, but adding that I've got another lullaby Aurelia unpainted, taht would be great burden (and pleasure too

 

Your Margaret is beautiful!! If Margaret is available in the next preorder, I will be seriously tempted (I say, still paying off my layaway for 2 dolls this preorder!)

 

A lot of volks shoes fit her, and some shoes for sd girl flat feet
