Do Dolls Dream Marionette Line

@Mademoiselle Grymms Oh I have no doubt they’re worth the price tag. I’ve read the quality is brilliant from a number of people. It’s just figuring out from our finances if I *should* order. I wonder if the EUR to NZD is likely to get worse or better in the future… was thinking about layaway maybe changes total cost if the exchange rate changes. I’m no good at money forecast.

Initially I was all in on Ursula, but am really liking Clementine too. I actually have two characters in mind anyway. It’s just who to get now as I would only get one.

There’s the Walrus for my Alice in Wonderland crew. I was wanting to genderbend them and make them a Selkie. Thinking of Woodland Echo and doing lighter pink skin markings like the walrus get. Vitiligo like constellations. I liked Ursula for this because of her teeth. Buuut…

Second character is the Lion. And Ursula is cat!! Caramel forrest. Heterochromia, one yellow one blue eye, big mane of hair, kinda fancast of Catra from She-ra and the Princesses of Power.

So then I was like… maybe Selkie is Clementine? I dunno. I feel like I need the resin colour photos for the new sculpts.

 

Hi friends. I have a question. I saw that the new preorder will be available in late March, and the website has some of the available face sculpts listed.
I was hoping to get Aurelia, and Margaret as an extra head. However, I saw that Margaret isn’t available for this preorder. Does anyone know if her sculpt is still available? Is it just that she isn’t listed this time, or has that sculpt been discontinued?
Any insight or knowledge would be greatly appreciated!

 

@fairyscrolls - It is unlikely that Margaret is discontinued - usually DoDollsDream will say if that is the case!

But she does rotate the available heads per preorder (probably to keep things simpler) so Margaret probably just isn't available this time, but may be on the list next time. The Teacup sculpts seem to rotate quite a lot, for example, with the most popular (such as Ursie) being available for most preorders, but those seemingly less popular (such as Marie) not appearing as often.

I recommend asking DoDollsDream if you have any questions - all the communication I've had with her has been lovely!

 

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your knowledge; I didn’t know that the sculpts are on a rotation and that is greatly reassuring to me.

 

Back in her last Miss Marionette release, I had to cancel because of a financial emergency and wasn't able to get my original order. I contacted her recently about something and discovered that she HAD my original order by a stroke of extreme luck! I was so happy I bought her and thought I'd be satisfied with that and could avoid the new pre order.


...but then she released the head sculpts 2 days later and I'm struggling I just want all the Do Dolls Dream. Ursie and the elf Clementine Lily are so beautiful. Urara too! I'm not safe

 

@Littlebirdzoom - I know exactly what you mean! I want all the sculpts, even if it might take me a little bit to collect them.

 

I'm in such a toss up between Clementine Lily and Lullaby Clementine! Guess I could always get both heads, but I typically don't like having floating heads.

Though currently I think I'm leaning towards Lullaby Clementine, since I'm dreaming about an ethereal elf character.

 

You are very welcome! I can imagine that she needs to rotate the available heads because there are so many of them now. And from the customer's perspective, maybe it makes choosing only one or two easier? (or not ) (I struggled a lot to choose last time!)

 

I’m struggling with this one—I thought it was going to be easy to just grab Ursula, but now I’m really taking a shine to Lullaby Clementine. And then there’s the matter of resin colours. I almost hope they offer WS so that I can get a really vampiric looking little lady. Or a shade of grey again. Or we get really crazy and try something like blue.

 

@Chameleon - I remember asking earlier if the near-pure-white color (called "Milky Sugar") that was available for the Teacups recently would be available this time and I was told it would be. So you probably could have a WS vampire! The greys are also lovely, though.

 

Ohhhh that’s dangerous for me to know! Thank you for telling me!

The lovely thing about WS is if you ever want it to be any other colour, it has the least fighting undertones when you dye it. I totally don’t have a dye addiction here, no not at all.

if money stopped existing, I’d do a WS lullaby clementine and a grey Ursula, but either way the price of these dolls being what it is, they’re definitely sharing a body.

 

Ahhh, I was so excited to see that preorder is coming soon! I've been saving up for ages, and when Ursa was revealed I was just taken away. I really like somewhat anthro dolls, turns out! That grumpy kitty face has stolen my heart. Looking forward to the resin reveal so I can start scheming.

 

They're by no means finished but here's a pic of my two elf Charlotta. I want to get a new wig and eyes for my pale rose girl and I'm still waiting on things to complete their outfits.

I'm so tempted to join the next preorder

I really love both my girls but there are just a couple of things that bug me. First off the magnetic feet come off really easily on both of them. And secondly taking their heads off is really difficult. They are strung very tight, which I actually like, but instead of an S hook it's a ring. The ring then meets with the tiniest of gaps but when pulling at the ring to get the head on and off it opens wider and whatever I use to pull the ring either gets trapped or slips through the gap. Does anyone else have this problem and figured out a way round it?

 

Hello everyone! Last week I received my girl back from Bunny Faceup! She is now complete and I’m absolutely in love with her. I’m still struggling with embedding photos on here and I’m pretty sure it’s my iPad. So I’ll simply share the link to my Flickr Here is my Charlotta, Chihiro Hana

I lifted and pulled my girl's ring to get her head off and didn't have too much of an issue, but I see what you mean. The rings are not thick enough or strong enough to support the weight from the elastic properly and I think she could consider a thicker ring. Since it's shaped like the bottom of an S hook, I wonder if it can just be replaced with one? Or you could turn the ring so the gap isn't at the very top, but ultimately I think it needs to be replaced with something a little stronger. I'll probably end up using a pair of pliers to pull it back up on her. Babe you tried pliers?

For the feet, I have to use a good amount of force to get mine's feet off, but then again I'm only pulling. I haven't tried her in shoes yet or had her standing too much, but I haven't noticed any issues on my end. Maybe someone else can chime in with that.

I absolutely adore my new girl. I'm a little frustrated with this resin though. I thought people liked this particular caster, but I've had her for less than a week and I'm playing with her like normal. Gently. And there's about a billion resin rubs and scratches all over her now. As well as some very strangely picked up darker streaks from??? nothing??. Looks like just the way it's rubbing? I don't know if it's the nature of the green, but she looks beat up and I've been so nice to her. I wonder if I should spray her with a matte coat or something.

 

@Littlebirdzoom I've noticed a few scratches on my woodland echo Charlotta but not my pale rose one.

I'm really annoyed that I didn't buy the heel feet when I ordered my girls. I asked the other week if I could order heel feet when she opens the next preorder and it was a firm no, not without ordering a doll. Very frustrating that I can't ever have heel feet for either of my girls especially when heel feet are usually included with dolls or easy to buy separately from other doll companies.

Also, does anyone have any suggestions of what flat shoes will fit? I've only found one seller who makes shoes and they're a bit out of my price range.

 

Yeah and she used to allow some orders for separate parts way back. I wonder if it's more of a casting contract thing or something? I honestly wish we didn't have to buy sets at all. Most other companies either include heel feet or let you choose which pieces you want to buy here and there. Not to mention after dividing the cost, each pair of hands or feet is about $46~ each which is

As I expected, I'm totally priced out of the pearl resin. I adore these dolls, but $1500 for a blank doll is not something I'm willing to do. I'm also very worried about it becoming yellow I asked DDD if her resin had UV protectant and she said yes, but I'm just so so worried regardless. So I think I'll stick to getting Whiny Angel Clementine Lilly... now I just need to choose which xD I hope Urara comes back. She's a dream for me, but I just can't this time around. In a perfect world I'd have enough funding for like 4 of them. All the resin colors and head choices this round are right up my alley.

 

I missed out on the previous preorder so I'm hoping to get Charlotta but it's really hard to choose a resin tone

 

Oh my god, yeah, I can’t afford pearl or black cat either!

also, lord help me, I want 2 of them.

in a perfect world, I get Ursula in Milky Sugar, with the extra hands and feet, so that I can give her body to Zilvriia, and put the Ursula head on a dollstown elf, and/or a maskcat doll body. And then I get… probably lullaby Clementine, but possibly Lullaby Lily in radioactive cupcakes, with the beast hands and feet. I’d love to do an eye scar over the half closed eye, but I also know I’m a revolving door collector, and it might be hard to resell. I might just decide I don’t care and go with them anyway. I 100% know who the character would be, in this case, and I adore them.

We shall see how well my will to not blow all my money holds out. Radioactive cupcakes is such a wonderful colour (and a glorious name) that I just can’t resist.

 

I feel your pain so much The "I want two" is so real I CANNOT choose!

Her on a Maskcat body sounds so cool actually! I LOVE Maskcat bodies! I'm not a fan of hybridding my dolls, but when I got my first Miss Marionette in the mail recently I was sooo in love with the body I wanted to pop some of my other doll's heads on it just to see. So I understand your dilemma lol!

Radioactive Cupcake is such a fun name. I think I'm settled on the Whiny Angel resin (who also has a fun name) with Lullaby Clementine Lilly. I think. Maybe
