Dollstown 13yr & 15yr Discussion - part three

I have had my DT Soph for a lot of years so YMMV but my Orientalskin body matches Luts normal skin from 2015 pretty well and also Volks pureskin normal from around 2016 pretty closely. I know that Doll Family A, Doll Family H, and Impldoll have offered resin matching in the past and may still. That's something to start with, at least.

Edit: Make sure whatever you pick matches the neck circumference of the body, though. I've learned that lesson the hard way before with hybrids.

 

Vermaxen thank you very much and l agree with the neck sizing. His neck size is 9cm. I well look into the company that you stated.

I found a head and it's a dollstown Soi head. Thanks guys

 

Dose anyone have Soi as a boy spam?

 

15yr Boy Body ver.2013
Dollstown album shows the Soi head on the 15 year boy body a few times.

 

Animemom it's hard to tell witch head is what. I am looking for owner pictures. Thanks

 

They say what head was used. Soi of course is only one still being made. Its like towards end before J head but after daisy heads.

 

Thanks animemom l found it.

 

Here's a recent picture of (my mother's) Triste (1st version, not the second version of the head).

I figure you hardly ever see one... And maybe more people will post some dolly tax photos of their lovelies.

 

@vermaxen, Triste v1 was the doll that I fell head over heels for and decided I was 100% going to commit to becoming a BJD owner back in the day! Your mother's Triste is so lovely and it's so good to see another! I was fortunate to buy mine secondhand just as they were being discontinued and she is still my most favorite doll (shhh, don't tell the others). Thank you for sharing!

 

Yay, some rustling in the thread! I don't think I've shared this shot of my 15yr Elysia here, so have some Pauline.



I wish DT hadn't gone through so many dang websites. It is so frustrating that any references to the 15 girl body have been lost.

 

@St. James it doesn't help they were hacked both times. The last one had them lose everything. If they didn't have Flickr they would have lost a lot of their old photos. They probably don't keep dolls they are no longer making. I picture the couple working out of their home waiting for shipments from Dollshe casting service. They sand away the casting tabs, string the dolls, pack them up and ship them out.

On another note. Dollstown will have a website again. Sometime between August 15-31.
dollstown.com

 

Yeah, I saw that announcement on IG! So happy for them! Fingers crossed they have better security!

 

I’m so excited they are getting a new website! I left the hobby for awhile, and when I came back, the DT site was a mess. Quite intimidating. I was going to order, but wasn’t sure how.

 

I love your mom's Triste @vermaxen I'm with Sandwich, Triste is one of the first girl dolls I've ever wanted since I started this hobby. @St.James your Elysia's style is so hip

Thanks for the info @animemom I'll keep a lookout for their comeback

 

The new website is up and running. You will need to make a new account since all accounts on old website are lost.

 

I'm confused as I emailed Jonghak An a couple of weeks ago asking about Maru who I stupidly didn't order when she was available, and he said he had none left. But I see on the new website that she's available to order...? I'll need to wait till I have funds but I guess the only way to test it is to make an order and see what happens.

I went to make an account but was getting a warning message about logins not being safe, so held off for now...

 

The castling mold for Maru could have been worn out and a new one created maybe with slight changes. As for website they are only asking for name and address. No Credit card info and I was on their first site and had no issues. You pay through PayPal so as for phone number I gave them what hubby has me only share what is called a Google Voice mail number. You would get a emailed text for anyone who actually called. I have only got emails from DT.

 

Thanks! I didn't realise that to begin with...

 

That is fine. I have been buying from Dollstown for over ten years. They are a family company.

 

I can't believe I'm the first person to post in this thread for over a year!

I recently returned to the hobby after an almost 10-year hiatus. The BJD hobby landscape has changed so much. Dollstown seems to be less popular/prominent these days, and I never expected the old 15-year bodies to be completely discontinued. But I guess times have changed!

I will have a lot of questions later (especially about the state of DT's body sculpts these days), but in the meantime...

Here's Justinian (Mui on the old 15B body). After 10 years being tucked away in a bag, I know he's glad to see the light of day again.
