Dollstown 13yr & 15yr Discussion - part three

I BEG your pardon, the noise I just made irl scared my wife who thought maybe I was dying, they're WHAT? Did they post this anywhere?
I've been dreaming of a Hue since 2010, back when I was just a poor wee sprogget with no monies.

 

It will most likely be a slight change in the face, maybe no teeth part. I correspond with Dollstown about orders I place and any questions I or others in my Facebook group have. They told me they hope to have him done sometime later this year. No preview yet, but if you follow them on Flickr as well as watch the news here you will get information and photos. I have the old Hue head but he lost his body years ago. I have had him on a AOD, but it looks weird. Maybe will find an old body that will work better.

 

Awww dang, the teeth are a big part of what makes him so cute :c Ah well Thanks for the details, though!

 

I will be sure to share any info and Flickr links once he is released.

 

I love the rattan chair he is sitting in. The dinosour slippers are just so adorable.

 

The chair I found last Dec in Home Goods pet section. How any animal was supposed to sit in it was beyond me. I had to make the cushions which are functional. The dino slippers I found years ago in Target's baby section. 0-3 months.

 

Home Goods is such a fun place to shop, as they carry a varierty of unique items. Everytime I stop by there I end up buying something.

I assume the chair was designed in mind for a very small pet breed like a teacup, or maybe they intended it to be for a guinea pig. Nonetheless it's really cute.

It's good to know that that Dollstown 15 boys body can fit newborn shoes. The outfit Kyo is wearing so just precious.

 

I think it was supposed to be in the kids section, which since Christmas is well over with they have closed at mine. No kid items to look through esp the stuff for AG as I have a lot of stuff from Target that works for my MSD kids esp.

 

I've been practicing faceups and have improved a great deal. Here's Justinian (Mui) and Halcyon (Rhea) with their new faces. I'm so pleased I can do justice to their sculpts now. Justinian also got new eyes a month ago. I really love these two dolls.

Spoiler: old & new faceups

And their old faceups:

 

@aihre they both look wonderful. Love the outfits as well as the faces. Hugs to them both and you.

 

Feeling a little embarrassed as I posted (below) this in the 17/18 yo DT thread a while back and folks were too polite to point this out, oops!
...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had successfully hybrided hands on the old DT 15 boy body?
Was thinking more slender fingers would be nice or even jointed hands... or just different hands in different poses/gestures...

When you have them standing side by side having different hands makes the body less identical (hope that makes sense!).

My 15 boy bodies (with minimee heads) ...



And another example on what I would like to avoid

Spoiler: pic 2

 

@kyukyukyu I personally have never done jointed hands on any of my dolls as much as I wanted due to color matching and funds. But if you can blush hands to match I would think it would be fine. The hands would have to just not go inside wrists due to being to small. You will notice most jointed hands have a ball, while DT hands do not just a rounded hand wrist joint. Good Luck.

 

Good point... would need to try some hand swop/roulette first. Was hoping someone had already found some confirmed to be a good fit

 

An other photo of my second Elysia!



If I had understand well, new 15y boy body will be discontinued once the 16-17y will be release? That's not good news, I always wanted the 15 boy but was waiting to find a head to put on it...

 

Yeah it didn't help they stopped making boy heads for the body and expected us to just use girl heads that could work. I tried Hyun and Elysia but they just didn't seem right. I miss Hue, Mui, Daisy boy and even the old J head worked.

 

I will open the Dollstown casting center in January, and I will cast myself DT dolls.
So I will cast 15yr boy body ver.2015, and I will release again 15yr boy body old version after some modification.

I will release again old head. Hue and Mui for 3.8 line, Daisy boy and Estella boy and Yujin heads for 3.0 line.
If you want to release again old heads, please let me know about that.

 

OOOoooOOOOOOO, so excited that you have plans to release the old Estella boy head, it's probably my all time favourite BJD (EVER!) and I had to sell mine a few years back due to financial worries.... so happy at the thought I can get her (always was a girl to me ). Thanks so much for keeping us all informed @AnjonghaK, you are putting a lot of minds at rest

 

My dapper boy. He makes my heart sing. How does anyone not adore that forever grumpy face?

To be honest, Mui is not the easiest sculpt to photograph - he really doesn't look good in some angles and lighting. But I don't much care that some photos turn out unflattering, and you find your way around that eventually. Some dolls you just love unreasonably.

 

I think the announcement fits best into the 13-15yr thread, so... 16year girl has just released. Here is An Jonghak's announcement thread on DoA, here's the product page on Dollstown.com.

It'd be interesting to see how this body compares to the old 15year girl in dimensions. Perhaps my old girl Syr might get a body upgrade, although the resin match will not work.

Here's Syr, my Crobidoll Lance on the 15year girl (modded with breast reduction - the 16yr body also has a small bust). The resin match is perfect (Crobi soft white to old DT/Dollshe fresh skin), and now that I've wired her single joints she poses fairly well. Maybe she doesn't need an upgrade!

Now, what about that 16year boy body that An was teasing late last year...

 

While I love the idea that the 16 Yr will give the 17 year boy a friend who is not as tall as him like the 17 yr girl the 16 to me is once again a company looking at bigger dolls that can be hard to find clothes for as she is new and how close is she in size to other company big girls. I am getting older and my arthritis isn't getting better, how I wish they would have created a Elf boy. Or more 15 yr boy heads instead of another big body.
