Do Dolls Dream Marionette Line

@ViperOrchid You're welcome! The body shape is really nice and I love the neck and shoulder joints so much.

I decided to go ahead and send in a request for a Lullaby Ao in Caramel Forest. It's the same color I ordered last time, but my other dolls (all three of them) have pale skin and this light tan is such a versatile color. It's a little scary trying this size again and spending this amount of money, but I'm excited too! I enjoy seeing every new thing that DoDollsDream comes up with and I want to support her artistry.

@My-eVe - Ooo, a masculine DoDollsDream doll? That would be really fun to see! Probably not for me as a collector (I'm more drawn to the clothing and other accessories available for the girls), but I'm sure that the artist behind DoDollsDream would do something amazing with the idea. She really is so nice to talk to - I've had some questions in the past, and always received a lovely response. I asked her about a new 1/4 line, for example, and she said it was in progress!

 

It's wonderful to see comparison photos of the Marionette girls! I really love the shape of their bodies. That's something I would love to see more in the BJD world.

 

I left it until the last day of the preorder, but I decided to jump in and get a Lullaby Miss Ao in Songbird Garden (the pale green). I love the elegance and posability of the bodies, plus the big elf ears on Lullaby Miss Ao (though I want to make mine a goblin girl ). I don't have any fantasy colours in my doll collection yet, so this is pretty exciting. Now to settle in for the wait!

These photos were the ones that put me over the edge - I just couldn't stop thinking about them. (I love the styling and creativity the maker showcases with these dolls and how they feature other creators so much.)

 

@Rhian - that photo set is so appealing! I also kept going back to the photos and videos of her blank in this color. It makes her look like a precious jade statue. Very tempting indeed!

I ended up choosing Caramel Forest for my Lullaby Miss Ao because I do better with more natural skin tones, but I'm looking forward to seeing more green girls around.

A goblin girl sounds like a great idea for the ears! Personally, I've always avoided elf ears in the past, but I couldn't resist the rest of the face this time. Maybe she'll be an ode to my cats or perhaps just a normal human who happens to have large ears. I'm not sure yet X)

 

@StellaMarigold Caramel forest is a really lovely colour - I honestly had a really hard time choosing the resin colour as well as a head (Charlotta and Margaret were also on my list). Looking forward to seeing your Lullaby Miss Ao as well!

 

@Rhian Maybe it's weird but the name of the different color helped to choose. I love every colors, they're sooooo wonderful but the reason I definitly choose "Strawberry Mousse" is the name. It's sounds like a little french dessert hahaha

Can't wait to see all your Miss Marionette.

 

With 2 hours to go on the preorder I ordered elf charlotta in woodland echo. So, I'll have elf charlotta in pale rose and woodland echo!

 

Hello here dear Do Dolls Dream's Friends and (futur) owner.

Just a little message to say Paulianne Doll's gonna open slots for Miss Marionette's faceup tommorow until 2nd of June

I really want a Paulianne's faceup. Her work is soooooo unique and detailed and It's seems to me like a full Miss Marionette experience to me

And you ? Are you gonna ask for a commission for your Doll ?

 

Hello everyone, congratulations on your Miss Marionettes. I’m so excited because I managed to order my grail, the stars aligned and I ordered Charlotta in Dancing Flowers ~
I’ve already named her .. Chihiro

I’m hoping to get a face-up from Paulianne and some eyes as well. Not sure of what colour scheme to go with though? Any suggestions?

 

Congrats on chihiro!!! It’s hard to pick a colour scheme because almost anything would look good with that gorgeous purple!

 

@Marvel - Charlotta in Dancing Flowers will be so pretty! Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any pastel color. Purples and pinks and even pale greens and blues would look lovely in her eyes or wig. I'm also a big fan of white hair (I think white eyelashes would be stunning with that purple resin).

Maybe there is a flower you'd like to use as inspiration (because of the "Dancing Flowers" name)? Or maybe you could look at the eyes Paulianne has made previously and find a pair you really like (that she might be able to make again in a similar design for you) and plan a concept around them? Or you could possibly take a blank photo of Charlotta into one of those makeup or hair-styling apps and see if you get any ideas from them (I do something similar, but I use Photoshop and paint ideas for wigs, clothes, etc.).

Good luck and have fun!

 

Thank you!!! Yes it’s going to be a challenge but I know she’ll turn out beautiful no matter what

Thank you so much for the advice and wonderful ideas! I’m going to have fun with it I also love the colours you suggested. I have a few wigs on the way. Black, Red and I think I’ll be buying a blonde and pink one! And I’m thinking vibrant pink eyes

 

Hello, I've just discovered DoA and I have asked the artist about the size. Here are the responses.

"About sizing - SD10 and SD13 size clothes fit well (especially tops, skirts and dresses - for pants make sure they are stretchy ^^)
SDGr will work if the waist is loose or also elastic, Miss Marionettes have 18cm waist, and SDGr girls 16,5cm ^^"

"I recommend SD16 heels for Miss Marionette tiptoe feet. Most will fit. However, if you prefer sandals or would like the shoe to fit 100% perfectly, I recommend https://www.instagram.com/ursisarna/
She can make custom-designed heels for Miss Marionette."

I hope you would find them useful.

 

What are some of the differences between the Marionette line and the Miss Marionette line that you all find that you appreciate, and some of the differences that you're not so fond of.
I know they are different lines, and I am curious about opinions.

Personally, while I like them both, I am more fond of the Miss Marionette line. I appreciate that they have curvier bodies and the head size does seem to be a little more consistent with the overall design of the dolls as compared to their predecessors.
Also, do we know if the Marionette line is still being sold, or is the Miss Marionette line the only SD line from the company still available?

Also if they not available any longer, should we not rename this threat to
Do Dolls Dream - Miss Marionette Line Discussion
don't you think?
I'd love to hear opinions and whatever other information you guys know!~

 

Personnally I don't mind if they are put together.....just not separating two threads with so few people. Btw, it's true that Malgorzata has been too occupied with only two doll lines.

Still waiting for my Magaret, first batch arrived at the beginning of September but now my doll still has no updates

 

Yeah I'm also waiting on my Lullaby Aurelia and actually hopped on the forum to check if there was a waiting thread for this line (couldn't find one tho except this thread?) since I also haven't heared anything since I ordered in may. When I saw that the first batch arrived in september I was also expecting an update since I had paid in full plus just ordered the nude doll. So was getting scared I might have missed the shipping mail from her haha.

It does give me some comfort knowing I'm not the only one with no updates yet, so I don't have to worry and think something went wrong. Here's to hoping we get an update soon tho! Seriously can't wait to get her since the body's and faces are so beautifully sculpted by Do Dolls Dream.

 

I paid on layaway, but bought my doll on day 1 of the preorder, and I haven’t heard anything about shipping yet either! I’m very excited to do her faceup and find out who she’s going to be!

 

I paid on layaway too and finished last month. I emailed and asked her a few weeks ago if she had an estimate on shipping and she said October/November.

I've still got the shipping to pay, I ordered two dolls, not really sure what to expect with that cost wise. Anyone who has ordered before remember what they paid?

 

I just got my email to pay the shipping on my Charlotta on Friday, so hopefully this means everyone else will get theirs soon! I paid 74 EUR to the US.

 

Yayyy that means they’re coming soon for the rest of us! I wonder what shipping will be to Canada!
