Dollstown Mini discussion part 6

Thanks Marie....you had me racing to your FB page as I knew I hadn't posted her photo there so I wondered what was going on!!! And I see that it was a friend who posted a photo of her.....not me. So all was fine.

Anyway here is my new Deogi who arrived back in April but it has taken me ages to find eyes that I liked for her.



This doll arrived on the smaller DT5 body, but when I saw her beautiful freckled face-up I remembered that I had a freckled DT7 body that had been waiting for a head for over a year!!!
The body is an older freshskin one and the head is a newer orientalskin colour, but to be honest the colour match couldn't be more perfect so I am thrilled with the swap.
I have called this new girl Jillian

Now I just need to find a head for the spare DT5 body I have now! LOL!

 

@Teddy could you share a photo when you have time of your boy's chest next to a girl body. I could have sworn the boys were more flat. Plus I wish Dollstown didn't delete the albums of the old bodies and heads. It would be great for reference as its hard to recall details like that.

 

Oh @Jane she's adorable. I am so happy I am going back to Dollstown kids especially. No other company makes kids as great as Dollstown. Just wish things would ship so I can make more solid plans.

 

I agree....we have lost a really valuable resource *sigh*

And thanks Teddy.....I wasn't getting notifications to this thread either. I just randomly checked and saw your photo of the meet-up

 

I appreciate that Teddy. I keep feeling I need to make a time line or something to record the dolls of Dollstown. So many bodies come, change or are gone as well as the heads. Thing is if I made it where to put it for prosperity esp if I can get photos.

 

Do you watch the thread? I do just don't ask for email updates, I just see it in my notifications at the top right of page.

 

OK here is Kaito with his latest pet, Samson the Lemur. Or is he a monkey? Anyway Parker wasn't taking very good care of him so when Kaito pet sat for Parker's lemur he bonded with the little guy so a new owner and a new name.

I love my new set up for photos. So much easier to set up the space for anything I want to photograph and it was here all along, but the diner was hogging it. Haven't felt like doing stories so this was better until maybe winter. Then the diner stories will resume.

Can you tell Samson loves Kaito. He really feels he is home with Kaito and he will never be ignored again.

 

OK while Wiki page for Dollstown is very good, it doesn't say when the heads were discontinued. I made lots of notes from the albums and I had holes that wiki filled. I just wish it had photos of at least a blank head and a blank body. Anyway it filled me in on what was what and I am going to write this all down in my spread sheet. Just for my own history as I owned most of the heads and owned everyone of the bodies but the 15 Yr girl I think.

 

I rely on the email notifications too, so if they stop coming I forget to check here. I've just agreed to buy a 5yr Freshskin body from a friend and have ordered Jea head today too!

To answer your question from ages back @Jane I don't have specific plans to put her in the stories, although my Seola 7 will be appearing before too long, so maybe she could be a younger sister, who knows. Your new Deogi is so beautiful The meet you went to with @Teddy and Alice looks so much fun, I would loved to have been there.

@animemom Kaito and Samson are adorable!

 

@mikki
Congratulations on being so quick too and ordering that Jea head *yippee* I must order a head for the DT5 body I have one day soon too!
And it was a fun meet-up at a fellow Sasha doll collectors house actually........it just happened that we all had DT7 dolls too. Hehehehehee. And thank you, I am thrilled with my new Deogi, she is just so different from my other one (Penelope)

@animemom
That is such a sweet photo of Kaito and Samson.

 

Thanks @Jane it's been a lovely surprise for me today really. For a good while now I've had 5yr Jea in mind for sometime in the future, but when Sally told me the 5yr body was no longer available from DT I decided to go for this opportunity. The website said her head was in stock, so hopefully she won't be too long.

 

@mikki
Yes the DT5 body has been discontinued and that is why I am keeping the spare one I have, rather than sell it on. I have a fancy for a belligerent 5 year old in my stories one day in the future. But not just at the moment as I am still figuring out how my new Deogi (Jillian) fits in with the other girls.

I like Jea so I can't wait to see yours

 

Well Kaito will soon be able to wear tighter t-shirts and all thanks to a local friend who was able to make the breasts go away. So that was one bit of good news, the second bit of good news is I just put in my order for his sister. A Deogi head and a seven year girl body. I also ordered a fresh skin body in elf size for the future head coming from Russia. But that won't be here until I hope not to long.

Anyway kid sister hopefully before Kaito heads to Disney World. She's going to be so jealous, but not much I can do unless she arrives in early September then maybe send to friend in Ohio to do her face up. Not sure if hubby would allow two kids on trip. Maybe another trip I can take them both.

 

@animemom .................Thanks for all the updates. Great that you found a customiser who could work on the DT7 upper body, as that was really bothering you.
And I am looking forward to seeing a Deogi at your house again *yippee*

@Teddy.........are the girls wear dresses made from the same fabric? I love that they both have a style that suits them.
And I always forget.....what colour resin is January please? I just remember that she is honey resin *duh me*

 

Thanks Teddy........caramel brown rings a bell in my head now. And yes it is funny how the DT/Dollshe tan resin colours always photograph lighter than they really are.
I wonder when DT cut back on the range of resin colour and mixes they offered? I missed that change
