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.

Do Dolls Dream - Teacup Marionette Line Discussion

Sep 15, 2022

    1. I absolutely love these dolls, and I absolutely love this thread! Yay Teacup Marionettes!~
       
    2. They really are charming! I had one (Ursie) and ended up selling her to fund another doll sale (a Miss Marionette haha) but I hope to have another in the future. Currently my favorite heads are Mousie and Leo, but DoDollsDream seems to enjoy designing more for every preorder (I love that!) so we'll see who she comes up with next time.
       
    3. Ahh, I just discovered these tiny cuties, and of course it's a week after the latest pre-order closed :XD:
      I'll just live vicariously through everyone who owes one for now, until the next pre-order opens.
       
    4. @sanachii - If you are really interested, you might try messaging DoDollsDream. She's always been so friendly and helpful when I've had questions. It's only been a week, so she might be able to fit an order for you in! And if not, you can be sure that there will be another Teacup preorder next year. They are popular little dolls!

      Hmm, you're right! the worst that could happen is that it's not possible, and I'll just wait until next years pre-order. Thank you! I don't think I would have thought about that as a possibility on my own.
       
    6. You're welcome! I hope it works out :)

    8. Yay! That's so fun! What Teacup did you choose? I didn't order this past time, but I really love Mousie - she would have been my pick, but aside from financial considerations I couldn't decide on resin color. I think they're all really cute, though!
       
    9. I did restring the wrist joints with a strong upholstery button thread, instead of the s-hooks. There's a small improvement in the the range of back and forth folding of the wrist, but not much. I should have added silicone kips, but I forgot... Not sure if this will help to hold the wrist positions better.
      Also, I was thinking of replacing the elastic in the arms, as it's rather thick for the channels... Could be a contributor to the lack of range of movement...

      Still very fond of my little Lullaby Maggie though. She's just such a little character... I just need to think up a name for her. Always a challenge for me... sigh
       
    10. I got Lottie in the woodland echo resin! She is the perfect pouty face for my OC, and the teacup marionette body is also everything I wanted for him so I'm very excited~ I think they are all adorable tho, and if I was gonna pick a second I would probably go for.. Ursie or Owlie :sweat

      Mousie is so cute too, those soft cheeks really do give a mouse-y feel!
       
    11. Lottie is very cute! I love the woodland echo color, too - it is such a rich brown.

      Owlie is another one of my favorites :)

      In regard to the wrist joints (in the discussion above) I believe the second version of the Teacup body, the one that has a jointed neck, is meant to have better wrist mobility. I'm pretty sure it was mentioned when they were previewed. But I would be curious to know if this was the case. I did own an Ursie in the original body at one point and her arms were a bit stiff.
       
    12. Unfortunately, I couldn't get in on the pre-order in September. Would have been nice to add a Lullaby Aurie to my collection...
      Maybe another time...

      Here's a pic of my Lullaby Maggie (still un-named), because she's cute and haughty! :D

    13. Hello! I am eagerly awaiting my first Teacup and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for where they like to get clothes for these cuties? She will be my first tiny, so it's new territory for me!
       
    14. Most 1/6/YoSD clothing will fit, except pants since their hips are wider.
      There are some makers that sell clothing specifically made for Teacups, like Kalcia, Les Coutures de Becca and Oddprincess.

    15. Congrats on your first teacup! Teacups can wear Minifee skirts and pants, tops are too big though. Darias The Haunted Dollhouse is another very talented artist who makes clothes for teacups. Her website is inactive at the moment though.
      Here my Lottie is wearing a top and skirt made by her. Cardigan ist from Oddprincessdolls.

    16. Hello ❤️
      What size clothes do you all get for your Teacups? I currently own one and have another stuck in customs, but very little clothes for them to wear based on measurements, I’ve gathered that they fit into Blythe shoes and MSD shorts, but I have seen people use both Blythe and YoSD tops; which is better? I would like to buy cute dresses and more ‘casual’ clothes for my girls
       
    17. I'm a really big fan of Maggie, Carrie, and Lullaby Auri. May get them in the future!
       
    18. I just got my first Teacup! I am so smitten! She's so much fun to pose, and has so much personality!

    19. Most of the things I buy for my Lottie are made for teacups specifically, so it fits her perfectly. But as a rule of thumb you can look for YoSd tops and dresses and MSD sized pants. My Lottie can wear Minifee pants and skirts for example.
      Les Coutures de Becca is one of my favourite shops, I recommend following her on Insta to know when she updates the shop.

      @LiselT Congrats, she is super cute! Can't wait to see what you'll do with her.

      I'm really hoping Dodollsdream will bring back some nice fantasy colours for the next preorder. I'm thinking about getting another cute little teacup. Not sure which sculpt though.

    20. Hey, for those of you who have Ursie, what size eyes are you using? More specifically, what iris size? I have a 14mm pair in mine but the iris size just doesnt look right to me.
