Dollmore Kid discussion part 4

@KittyOrochimaru those 3 are so adorable! Which sculpt are the boys? They're so dang cute!!

 

I have a wakness for ginger characters with really heavy freckles. I just don't have any at the moment but do plan to turn my ns IH SID Omar into a really freckled ginger. Your 3 kids look amazing. I think Aidans are the coolest Dollmore Kids ever made

 

Ah, they're Aidans Thanks @manabusama

 

Ah, yes they are I don't really have any favourite Dollmore Kid sculpts as I like all Dollmore sculpts. But there are some that I feel more attached to like Aidan and Flocke.

I miss the old Dollmore sculpts that were discontinued. There's something about old school sculpts, makes me feel a bit nostalgic..

 

Yah, doll companies are going in new directions now

 

I just ordered sleepy eyes flocke but it seems its rare sculpt, maybe someone of you has her/him and can share? Thx a lot

 

Does anyone know what the best way to contact dollmore is? I want to chance my luck about ordering a head separately..

 

I would use the Q&A board.

 

Let's ressurect this board with a photo of my newly repainted VERY old secondhand Torrie.
She was made in 2007 so her white skin has mellowed a lot. It almost looks flesh toned now.

Her original faceup was very yellow toned so was doing her no favours. She also had damaged eyes and lashes.
So a fresh set of both and a nice fresh face and she's looking a lot softer and less irritated.

 

@purple_monkfish She certainly looks lovely and refreshed now. It’s wonderful to see an update on an old favorite. As the years go by in this hobby, our dolls remain beautiful works of art, especially with a little care and tweaking.

 

Dollmore are doing lucky boxes, heads for half price till April 30th.

Pretty nice deal, though it's a gamble. I think like.. 1/14 chance of getting any particular head? They only list 14 different ones.

I'd LOVE Heizel but of course, there's only that 1/14 chance.

I wonder if you buy multiple if they'd bother to make sure you didn't get duplicates.

Anyway, thought you might all want to know. Anyone else got any dollmore kid heads they've been eyeing?

 

I thought about it but honestly there's a few i know i wouldn't like and dollmore heads are hard to sell as is in my opinion so i think if i was really interested i'd pay extra to get the ones i'd want.
Not only that it says you can't choose the color, that would be hard seeing as they don't sell bodies separately in WS and Tan D:

 

that's kinda wierd that they don't sell the bodies in the other colours. I wonder why not.

And yeah, there's a few I do like but i'm thinking i'm probably better off waiting and just ordering the ones I want for full price lol.
Has anyone successfully hybridded a dollmore head onto a different body? I'm not overly keen on their male bodies, they're a bit too curvy and just look like they modified the existing female body.

 

Rosee Asha by ManabuLi010, on Flickr

My Rosee Asha She's so yellowed but I really like her this way as it makes it feel as if she's got another kind of Dollmore resin color. She have the old single jointed body with a hook system inside her head instead of magnets. So happy I found this girl for sale

 

@manabusama It’s always a treat to see some of the oldies in this thread. Yellowed or not, they maintain their artistry and beauty…and it’s a lovely look back at some earlier days in the hobby. Older dolls are still every bit a treasure! Your girl is absolutely adorable.

 

I remember the day when this thread were much more active, I miss how it used to be around here. But I'm glad to see that the thread are not completely dead though.

I only have Dollmore Kids but there is something about the kid line that have stuck with me although I did have 2 SDs in the past. It's hard to say what makes them so special, they just are

Thanks I were just lucky to find her back in 2019 when I decided to have a look at the MP. I did not have any plans to buy but I could not help myself with this one XD

 

Just ordered the Moon Spirit Elf Zinna head with a boy Roo face-up, since I wanted to make them a boy. Hoping it won't be too much of a problem putting that head on a boy body. Crossing my fingers it'll be fine

He'll have to borrow a yellowed boy Dollmore body for a while but I guess it's better than nothing

She look great with that look Is she very yellowed irl? My old Asha is pretty yellowed and I wonder myself maybe I should get her de-yellowed a bit someday.

 

Oh very much so. She was white skin originally so would have been paper white. Now she's more of a magnolia colour? Like a really pale NS without the pink tones. I suspect you could actually blush this to a NS looking colour pretty easily by adding some pink in the important spots.
I have her other ears and they're white white so it's quite shocking when you see the two pieces side by side.

 

WS that makes her one of the limited girls! I have the Rosee Asha, love the single jointed body

I found her on the MP though so I've never seen her other than pretty yellowed. But it's not a bad yellow I guess, so like you said, maybe a little bit of blushing is all it takes!

 

Yep she's one of the Wind Memory? dolls. I have all four of them but she was in the worst state, her faceup was SO faded the poor girl needed a new one.

I might redo her lips at some point. Make them a bit darker and more lipsticky. I dunno. I haven't decided whether i'm keeping her or not honestly. I keep flip flopping on it. Terrible right?
