Doll In Mind - LOVE - Discussion II

I wish I had a cat! I love them so, but I'm terribly allergic. And, I also have asthma, so breathing becomes an issue. . It's such a bummer! But, just show me a cat video and I'm there!

 

Oh-oh-oh! That would be so great! Kitties and dolls- that's heaven!

 

That's really awesome though. I'm glad Byron will get to come home to the discussion thread congratulations @krystina !

 

I am over the moon! I actually managed to come across an Arno on eBay while mindlessly browsing and successfully bought him!

 

That's awesome @HighPriestessIce the head only one? I saw him myself because I like to look for no reason. I'm glad someone here could snatch him up. I hope you will post him here when he is home. I think we are living vicariously through one another in this thread

 

Yes! I can't wait to repaint and goth him up to fit with my other DIM boys. I am always hunting everywhere for DIM and Souldoll Sabrina. Sad to say I missed the Danbi on IG, but I always forget to look there.

 

I can't wait to see how he looks @HighPriestessIce

Ugh I'll be honest, I don't think FOMO is exactly the right word for my mood these days it's more like "sad that i'm missing out" but wow there have been a crazy amount of the old D.i.m. second hand this year. But I'm bummed in general about so much and it sucks that market seems to be tanking on dolls in ways that didn't do anything for me. I should be more grateful for Lloyd, it's just hard sometimes. I think it was bellose I really wanted the most but I think when you are constantly bored and sad it's hard not to wish you could buy something that would cheer you up maybe one day in the distant future it will be better again.

I want to show Lloyd in the new wig I decided is cute on him but it definitely shows his tragic Faceup more... it's both too hot and too humid to repaint anyone this summer at all. So he keeps waiting... What a drag. But he is happy on the shelf with his friends these days, and my eyesight is so bad the faceup is tolerable lol.

 

Haha fair enough @krystina I joined a dim preorder a few years ago when they were selling a bunch of 1/3 girls still, and I ordered a body and two heads and didn't keep any of it more than a year. That was definitely depression fomo at the time. I didn't like those girls because they had 7/8 heads and it wasn't what I expected. I mean, it's not like I hated them. I could have kept them and they could have slowly become favorites over several years. But that's not how it panned out.
It's incredible that you found so many second hand now. I admit I've seen more second hand this year than in a decade. I think it will be really satisfying to watch them come together!
Our weather here will change sometime in late September or October usually. It's unbearable the majority of the year. I did one Faceup recently when it was already too hot and humid but there is of course the threshold where it's just too stupid to try. Maybe if the weather gets bad again from really bad then I could repaint someone.
I'll probably show Lloyd anyway though with the different hair in some new outfit

 

Yes I absolutely had them already which is why I was like... Oh I mean I read the measurements on the site and I knew it would be different it just wasn't what I ended up interested in at the time. I got those two sometime around 2017?
Sven and Lloyd/ Nagi I got six months apart in 2012 (secondhand).
Sven is now my second longest time doll I still have/ put together. So it's old days.

That's so wonderful! I feel it's so fun to remember the company photos. I do this from time to time myself! I will be eagerly awaiting the progress photos as you have fun customizing them!

Eh you know me, I want everything just-so and I want Lloyd fully dressed in something I'm proud of. I'm pretty sure he's sitting on the sewing shelf pantsless at the moment

 

So I massively lucked out and just put a down payment on DIM Azelia head just now. So much potential for a cute goth boy. This was totally on a whim and now I have to brainstorm which part of my crew he'll fit in. Then I'll have to choose a perfume and everything, because every single doll I own has their own perfume. Not to mention finding a body aaaa.

 

That's funny! I was look at that exact body on Alice collections for mine wondering if it will work. My Azelia is NS too.

I am a perfume fiend. I think it helps express their character, plus it's fun. My Lloyd, Leviathan wears Cthulhu from black phoenix alchemy lab. The scent is described as "A creeping, wet, slithering scent, dripping with seaweed, oceanic plants and dark, unfathomable waters." Which works perfectly on the Leviathan angle and the fact he's a Lovecraft horror nerd. My Elif, Belphegor loves zombie movies so I have Graveyard Dirt for him, also from the same company. I'm a bit over the top haha. I even have music playlists for each doll.
