Dollmore Youth Eve & Adam Discussion

I just finished knitting a dress for my Fine, Amity She's so glad to have something new to wear.



Now to accessorize and save up for some cute heels

ETA: speaking of heels, has anyone tried any Angell Studio heels on their Eve's heel feet? I'm really eyeballing a pair of houndstooth pumps from them, but I'm a little nervous about fit.

Also, I think I'm going to have to restring Amity (for the millionth time ugh) because she's way too loose (I think!?). Does anyone have any recommendations for how I can tell when I have the right tension? I'm scared to break off the hooks on her feet, which is probably why I didn't go tight enough last time :/ But she's pretty much like a rag doll right now and I can't stand it anymore. Going to (finally) suede her torso soon as well, so I can do that while I've got her apart.

 

She's really pretty! I love her wig...great job on the dress!

Y'know I've never really thought to worry about the feet on mine, I just yank the string up through the head and re-knot when they're really tight. I keep mine TIGHT because they're easier to pose IMO.

Resi he looks gorgeous!! I had thought I'd seen him somewhere...I have a pic faved on DA XD
You should def post more pics of him

 

That dress is great! I want one for myself XD

And thank you VampireAngel! I should post more pics if I had any! Was supposed to take some today, but I had missed the fact that it gets dark around 6 pm here -.-'
And I remember you actually asking for that pic on DA when I commented about me loving all your Alexes

 

Thanks both of you

I guess I'll just have to face my fears :B I managed to get my hands on some medical tweezer clamp things, so that may help me out too.

 

I totally remember that now! I am so fail sometimes with DA. Most of the times actually.

All the time.

They do help! I don't know how I ever managed to do any kind of maintenance with my dolls without them!

I was just redressing two of my Kara Klums last night for a meet this weekend and damn, are they floppy >.< The worst part is there isn't much give left in their elastic so I guess it's time for a restring instead of a tightening. Bleh. I don't know if I have enough string! Or any string! And they would both pull this at the same time right before I really need them to pose well. Jerks.

New one spam!



I say new, but he's like, two years old now...with a body that's 3 years old! "New"....lol

 

Ah, one before I go to bed.



the jeans fit a bit odd but it did say they fit Adam's as well as Eve's, so that explains her having the same issue I do (waist is smaller than the jeans are cut for). ... Yes that is my epic crap "5 minute shirt" ... Or it would have been 5 minutes if I was using a machine anyway. It needs work, like I should have checked and left slits in the hip area, so it would fit over.

 

uh, wow, has anyone noticed Dollmore discontinuing their dolls?? Some of the Kids are gone now, and most of the Adams. I can't tell if any Eves are missing, but I didn't look that hard.

 

Oh wow, yeah Miso and Ray are definitely missing from there. And Claudia Neel too! Oh how sad, I always liked her and wished more people had her. Guess they just never sold.

 

I crashed the internet while typing this :P

Claudia Neel...I was going to buy her. Then Fine came out. It is sad. Miso is still there though! I checked for her since she was my most recent DM purchase.

What's really weird is the lack of warning. There was at least one DMK I kind of wanted that's gone, now I'm a little worried about the fate of everyone else!

 

I'm pretty sure someone in the DMK discussion thread did contact them, and they did say the molds were gone. Honestly I'm not surprised....sad as it is people just aren't interested in old basics anymore *shrug*
if no one buys them why keep them around.

I'm really shocked at the number of Adams that are gone. But again if no one is buying them...and there are so few of them out there.

 

That makes me sad! There were a number of them that are really lovely sculpts and so different from what a lot of other companies put out. If I had a tree that grew money I could name several sculpts of theirs I would love to get my hands on.

 

Aw, that's so sad there aren't many more DM dolls that I want, but I'd still like other people to get them so that I can look at their cuteness!
I really don't get why people don't buy more dolls from Dollmore, they are all so special! Many of them got some difficult angles, but that only gives them peronality, at least in my opinion. And the resin is wonderful and the quality great! The posing is natural and very good for a mostly single jointed doll. I don't get it

 

This is really sad news Going to go check and see if the dolls I have on my wishlist are still available!

 

It's been two months and I still haven't tightened or sueded Amity :B She's getting more unwieldy, too, and did NOT want to play model for me this week. I think this isn't the "couture" she was hoping for when I said she could stick around and be a model XD

 

lol but it's so cute! And they need a little humiliation every once in a while!!
She should feel lucky. Alex had to wear this

 

omg Alex... I am dead! XDDDDD

 

OMGLOL! Hilarious! And good taste in booze XD Love the penguin mug too.

 

No dying!! XD

lol
The mug came from Michaels, they were only $1! I got what was left (15 I think) and gave them out at the meet...
The Jack was donated by the meet hostess who was worried I'd get stabbed in my sleep with tiny doll-sized knives because I forgot to bring his (which is more to scale XD).

I think he liked the big one better anyway....


And hey, since I'm here, does anyone have any Blueblood doll clothes?? Do they fit the Adams??
