DollMore Catish Dolls discussion part 1:

I think she looks lovely like that beatnik! Very pretty!

 

Thank you [MENTION=20691]Cattwo[/MENTION] I had to go back and wipe this though and I'm now much happier with the results. I stuck with the same raspberry lip colour, but used mint green eyeshadow and shading on her ears and pink blushing as before. I just need to find some wigs to match her new look!

 

Hi again, everyone!

I have been trying to catch up on everyone's posts. I know I'll miss a few people if I try to name everyone, so let me just say that I want to congratulate everyone who's gotten new Catish dolls since I last posted! The pictures are really beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Beatnik, that custom face up is very pretty. I would love to do faces someday but I don't have a good place to work with MSC. So, no face upping for me.

Miss you all! You're making me want to take my girls out of their boxes and play... and try to get a Judith body for my Pink Eyed Hybrid Weird Catish Doll (whose name is now Bonita Trouble Pussy after my late husband's first cat and all the hassle she has given me... hehehehe!)

 

Thanks [MENTION=44921]orinoco_flow[/MENTION] I've read through your debacle with your hybrid mint sherbert Catish and I've seen her over on Flickr and she is so cute on the kid body! I look forward to seeing more of her when you get chance

In respect of face ups I steer well clear of MSC and have found a non-toxic option with liquitex matte varnish, so that's an option worth looking into if you want to do your own face ups at some point.

 

[MENTION=412]beatnik[/MENTION], thank you for your kind words I'm glad you like Bonita. I do too.... but I still want to get her her real body!

I have some questions about the Liquitex, so I'll PM you in order to help the thread stay on-topic. Thank you again!

(I know I'm nerco-quoting; sorry!)
Did your Lisa come with shoes? Mine did not.

Thank you,

Orinoco

 

It's been a while since I got her, I remember that I had bought extra feet for her and several pair of shoes, so I don't even remember if the flat or high heel feet came with the original doll. And I don't remember if there where shoes with the doll itself, sorry.

 

[MENTION=20568]Biggy[/MENTION] ,

Thanks for responding! My girl did come with extra flat feet and hands. I wasn't sure if shoes were included. Lisa is adorable!

I have another crazy question. What clothing do you fit your girls into? The Judith body is fairly… Mature… So I'm not sure if regular MNF clothing would fit.

 

Another question - do any of you use wig caps for your Reaas? If so, do you cut holes and poke the ears through, or slits and slide the ears in from the outside? (did that make sense?)

 

Shoes should be included with the Catish dolls all of mine came with them..as for high heel vs flat feet it depends on the catish mold my new pink girl came with the regular Judith hands and flat feet..the mink and black catish girls were suppose to come with flat feet but mine came with heel feet however they ended up sending me flat feet when I inquired on it. As for wig caps since the wigs have the slits for ears I've not had to use wig caps.

BTW did anyone see the new catish girl...I really like the yellow wig they way they have it styled..she's cute but not quite for me. Her name is kaleidoscopically : Dreaming Reaa http://www.dollmore.net/shop/step1.php?number=14310

 

[MENTION=50765]Kitty Blue[/MENTION], yes, I did see the new girl! She is very beautiful but I know what you mean when you say she's "not quite for me." I had the same thought! That wig is beautiful. I feel like they could have done more with her, especially with such bright colors, but who knows what they will come out with next!?

Thanks also for your remarks on wig caps and feet.

Hope you are doing well!

 

No. She doesn't need a wig cap, as Kitty Blue explained. However, on other dolls, I use thin strips of moleskin as a wig stopper. This is the best method I have ever used

 

You really are tempting me with this picture

I've been visiting the Dollmore site since the first Reaa dolls were released! I just have not found the right time to order one, but I really do want one

I have finally gotten started though, only it is a Kid Zuzu Delf CURLY boy that I have ordered. One of my many BJD plans is to have a family of anthros. And it won't be complete without a Catish Reaa

 

Kitty Blue, I have been browsing your delightful Flicker pictures. Who is Harmony, (not that I need another doll)?

 

Some one mentioned Zuzu Delf. I have two cats who are totally, totally delightful. Does anyone have any suggestions for clothes for them?

Thanks

 

Gaaahh I'm totally in love with the Catish girls, especially the Mink, the dreaming Pink Fluxus, the Russian Dream and the Melancholy Black Reaa. I'm really tempted to order one while they are still available but I just can't decide on one out of those four! At first I was super smitten by the black Reaa but I'm scared that her black resin won't take pastels that well and make the MSC look cloudy (I like to do my own faceups). Anyone with the black Reaa can help me with those concerns? She looks stunning in the company pictures but her faceup isn't quite bold enough for my taste and her body looks too shiny, I guess it wasn't sealed. Argh this is driving me insane because I can only afford one Reaa right now and am afraid that those four will be sold out soon. My second choice would be the Russian Dream Reaa, which is not quite as dark and I like her dress more. But I already have one grey kitty incoming (Pipos Derek) and am really fascinated by black resin.
The again the Mink Reaa looks super beautiful and the face of the dreaming Pink Reaa is so adorable! Can you see my dilemma?
So I guess my question is, are there any owners of the black Reaa and how does she photograph? Any other help in my decision, please..?
Oh and am I crazy or did Dollmore offer layaway until recently? I remember reading about it a few months ago but now it seems they don't offer it anymore.

 

[MENTION=54431]Zomboid[/MENTION] Unfortunately I can't help with your query about the black Melancholy Reaa, but I own the pink fluxus dreaming girl and she is stunning in person I've also got Melancholy Mink on layaway (only one payment left woohoo) so I'm really looking forward to her arriving. Both of these girls have been ordered on layaway, which they don't advertise on their site but they do offer it and they offer very very very long layaways on big orders too. You just need to add up your order and ask what terms they can accept via the 1:1 contact option and once you've agreed the conditions you can put the order through and note the agreed layaway terms in the comments box, they'll then send you your first invoice.

 

beatnik: Thank you so much for your help! That is great news about the layaway, I wonder why Dollmore doesn't give any info about it on their site? Hmm that is indeed a very tempting idea, but I still can't decide on a Reaa! The pink Fluxus has such a nice face but I've always wanted a very dark resin doll, but is the black too dark?! Argh this is too hard lol. I think I'll wait until my next paycheck in three weeks and hope I made a decision (I hope they are all still available until then!). Btw beatnik, your avatar is soooo cute!

 

[MENTION=54431]Zomboid[/MENTION] No worries. I don't think the black resin is too dark, but I do know that the people on this thread struggle to photograph the black resin girls. I agree that the company face-ups on the dark resin really do it much justice, so maybe this is something you could change if you order one? That said though, I think the Russian Blue girl would be a perfect compromise if you feel you can't quite convince yourself to order one in black

Thank you for complimenting my avatar too, she's just too cute!
