Do Dolls Dream Marionette Line

Wellllll, my girls are paid off finally, and DDD is saying September/October is when the girls will be coming in, so I’m excited that the wait is almost over (and dreading finding out what shipping is gonna be for 2 full dolls, 2 sets of hands, and a spare head!)

 

Ahh! I just filled out my Pauli faceup request, so excited. I hope they'll be done by the holidays!

 

I got my invoice for my Pauli faceup request! Very excited to see how it turns out.

 

I didn't go for a Pauli faceup... but I'm gnawing limbs off over not having my "she's here, play your shipping!" email yet. Plzzzzzzz I want my girl

 

I am also now among the 'obsessively refreshing instagram for faceup photos' even though I'll be getting Ursula and Lullaby Ursula unpainted. I just want to see more of their faces! Starting to get excited. (And slightly dreading the customs)

 

I’m also hoping to see dolls coming in soon… I had to message DDD to ask them to ship my dolls DHL cause my post is striking again! Dreading how much that’s gonna cost!

 

I got the tracking number for my Misses! I'm so excited to have her home soon

If anyone else in the US is curious, they're only shipping through DHL right now, so be prepared to pay a little more.

 

Amazing news!!! I’m waiting on bated breath for the shipping notification for my girls too.

I also, uh, may have talked DDD into letting me layaway a ghostly moon Ursula during their teacup preorder! I didn’t mean to, I just asked when more Misses would be available, and she let me buy one then and there!

 

Excellent! Hopefully my girl will be shipping soon too. Hopefully she can ship through Canada Post - the thought of how much DHL would charge for her makes me physically ill.

 

I am in the US and I just got my invoice from DHL for my incoming Marionette. $163.02. Ouch!

 

Holy cow.

 

I got my Duty invoice, too. Mine was about the same as @siteblock but another person got one for about $197. It seems like if you ordered extra parts the duty is higher.

 

I was gonna say oof... and then I did the conversion and that's about the same duty as I'm expecting when converted to CAD. So, still oof! But I was honestly expecting around 500 or so because DHL haaaaaates me.

 

I received my Misses the other day, and I don't believe I can be any happier with her! I'm already excited for the next preorder.

 

Viper, she's perfection!

Also I GOT MY EMAIL AAAAAAAAAA

I've spent most of the day mentally bopping about like Stewie going to Disneyland. I'm going to be insufferable, between excitement for Tsumugi to be in my hands and the del Toro Frankenstein film dropping next Friday. A good time to love beauty and monsters

 

My miss should be delivered by tomorrow I'm v. excited.

 

She came in this afternoon. The wig is a bit too big (whups), and one of each eye colour is being re-glued together, so she's temporarily heterochromatic. Her thick hips and legs also ensured that only one bottom and one pair of socks actually fit too.


Miss Charlotta, angelic pink

 

Ahhhh DDD contacted me about shipping the other day!!! My girls are soon to ship!!

 

My Urara arrived!! I have so much to say I don't even know what to start with. The Ghostly Moon resin is enchanting! I love how all her hands, feet, legs etc are different from each other with the swirl pattern. I really wasn't sure how I'd feel about it because it's so new to me on resin dolls, but I love it. Makes me not want to dress her so I don't cover any of it up xD

Urara's faceup says "Offline" in katakana that's specifically supposed to look like misaligned Risograph printing. She's an important concept to me - I love retro technology a lot and it is the focus of my studies in Uni, but she represents the difference stages and fading of nostalgia for me personally. The translucent resin is reminiscent of this for me especially.

Urara as a whole was just the perfect way for this to come to life through and through. I truly love her and I can't remember the last time I felt this enchanted by a doll. And of course, Paulianne pulled the whole thing together and gave her life.

I am STRUGGLING to find a wig color/cut for her though XDD I think I need brighter colors and I don't have any on hand. I'm afraid she will be bald for a minute

 

She's perfect!!!!!



I can't get over how well packaged she was, either.
