Do Dolls Dream - Teacup Marionette Line Discussion

Just sent an email asking if I can still order one! Hope she says yes!

 

Fingers crossed that she says yes!

I ordered a Vivienne in strawberry chocolate. I was going to sit out this preorder, but I kept thinking about her and how she would be such a good friend for my Mousie. And I wanted to make sure that I got her in strawberry chocolate since I'm not sure if it'll be a regular color offering. It'll be awhile until she's home but I'm excited to start planning for her.

 

She said yes! I just submitted the form for a Lullaby Lottie in Radioactive Cupcakes with the extra hands and feet. I hesitated because these are pricier dolls and I wasn't sure about the proportions, but I couldn't stop thinking about her. I have a wig no longer being used by another doll I think will be perfect for her.

 

Placed my order for Micchan instead of Sophie, hope Sophie stays for the next roster (also wishing ddd could bring back retro chocolate).

 

Volks YoSD Kanata head on the Teacup Marionette body. Obviously Kanata is old, and the resin match is not working. But I think a YoSD head on this body could work with neck modification. I’m going to try a Littlefee head and headback before I commit to neck modding, though.

Too bad you can’t order extra necks in the preorder

 

@snowgray - I have a similar issue with my Miss Marionette body that I want to hybrid with another head.

This is my plan: there's a sculptor on Instagram (@syntheticephemera) who does 3D printing and offers services related to it. I intend to sculpt my own neck joint with epoxy/LaDoll/etc, send it to them, and then they will 3D scan it and print it in resin. They said they could do it and that the printed resin would be strong enough to work for the neck. So maybe you could try something like that for your Teacup body? I've seen their work at matching printed resin to cast resin and it is really good!

 

I will probably just try the other head I’m interested in, pick one that I’ll commit to, and then sand the neck down to fit. Since what I want to do is subtractive, and I don’t plan to use any of the Teacup heads on the body, I don’t mind it.

But, since the neck piece is separate, it would be nice if DDD offered extras!

 

That makes sense! I don't want to mod the neck for mine because I'd like to use the original head and I don't want to mod the hybrid head because it is rare.

I hope you'll be able to find a head you like!

 

How long do these girls normally take to ship? It would be great of mine is home in time for the NYC Doll Convention in April.

 

I joined the pre-order and I ordered Lottie in Caramel Forest and I want her to look like my Eggy doll Leila. I mean, I don't want an exact match, Leila has lighter skin anyway, but I want a similar vibe for her... if I don't change my mind meanwhie))

NO WAY!
~ Helllooooo! You got that body from me
I was curious on what kind of hybrid doll you want to make, now I am even more curious to see how you can transform the head (or maybe other heads) to fit the body!
