Dollzone 1/3 Girls Clovera, Violeta, Morphoa, Beetta Discussion

I think that I just want the outfits more than the girls. I find them so adorable. Dunno if I like the new immature girls themselves though.

 

I think Beeta is great! Remeniscent of Reiko. I like Violetta too- but then I like mean looking girls LOL!

 

I LOVE their oufits! Hmm, I wonder if they'd fit an SD10.

Dollzone's sculpt style seems to have changed recently, and I must say that these newer sculpts are wonderful quality. They are really not to my taste though, I much prefer the "pointier" style faces without the big bow-shaped lips. I'm sure many people will be ordering and loving these sweet girls though! ^_^

 

I completely agree. But then again I also prefer older looking sculpts on 1/3 size dolls. I haven't liked this years new dolls near as much as the older ones.

 

clovera is nowon my list. i need about 2,000 more dollars, until i order another one, tho.

 

i love clovera. too bad shes expensive and i have no mony. im spending the mony i will get soon on a head. the girls all look a little childish, which is pretty unique, and makes me want them more!

ack! double post! hadnt realized it until now!

 

I love Violeta the best. She is just adorable! Unfortunately, I cannot buy her right now. ~Gus

 

Dollzone seems to be making some very... interesting... design choices lately.

I noticed their change in aesthetic in the latest MSD releases, Lola 1 & 2 and Aaron 1 & 2, and then X-3. I am not really a fan of this aesthetics change, it just doesn't feel "Dollzone" to me...

And the release of these girls really helped me nail down the new aesthetic... All these newer dolls seem to echo Doll in Mind and Dollmore, with a goth edge, in sculpt and photography/clothing design/faceup painting etc... Interesting, like I said, but kind of odd and I miss the "classic" Dollzone with the previous releases like the Silver Fox Yuu fullset, the stylish Lolita-esque Yage and Orlando fullsets, the punk Cherry fullset.... The older sculpts had their flaws but I wish DZ would just refine their own sculpt techniques instead of doing this crazy 360-degree change.

These new girls have their merits, but I'm not really a big fan of childish SD size dolls and Violeta especially is very... strange and different from typical DZ. I'm all for interesting new concepts and looks, and I'll be looking forward to seeing owner pics of these girls, but they aren't for me.

 

I'm kind of disappointed by the faces. They seem more childish than I expected of a 1/3 doll. They have similar faces to some tinies that I've been seeing lately, which kind of surprised me. I do love the shape of the eyes in the new sculpts, but the squashed chin does not appeal to me. Chins and jaws are two of the things I am very picky about.

Their outfits however are to die for. They are so completely adorable that it makes me want to buy them all.

 

I love their "cute dolly" look and long bodies. The outfits are crazycute!
I'm just worried that they'll have the same problem their new 1/4 girls had... fat necks and no chin/jawline! :-P That was really disappointing to me because I thought the faces adorable otherwise.

I'll definitely be looking for owner pics first.

well the fishy mouth must be fairly popular, as there are many dolls with it. i think bug-like dolls are cute too!(beeta's way cute)

 

Violeta's my favorite, actually. But, then I was always fond of the Notdoll Lab girls who also have very distinctive mouths, lol.

 

I'm seriously wondering what the deal is with the companies coming out with 1/3 and larger little girl dolls. I mean, I love Dollzone - but suddenly all their dolls look like pre-adolescents. Violetta, in particular.....I'm torn between thinking she looks like a constipated three year old or a child mimicking their slutty mother's face?

The last one just looks like a bigger poutier Felian.

Morphoa would be alright - in 1/4 scale, but why make her 1/3?

I've always loved Dollzone, but wow, I'm seriously disappointed and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

 

I don't think this is a design 360 for Dollzone. I almost think this is the culmination of a lot of DZ sculpts from the past like Mo and Megi and a few of the others who had this extreme severity and sharpness to their faces which I always liked a lot. It's like they've been honing their style for awhile now and they're finally hitting their stride.

 

Personally, I approve of the new style. These are the first DZ to catch my eye. I like that their style is now softer, more rounded, and the mouths aren't so wide across any more. I think they do look quite different from old DZ, but nonetheless I think it's a pretty unique look.

It's kind of like how Iplehouse made a big style change with their recent lines (and I thought it was an improvement in that case too); their sculpts retained a style distinct from other companies, but were more soft and nuanced than their early sculpts.

 

I really agree with this. I feel like DZ's sculptural changes are a step in the direction that appeals to me.

 

I really hate the new face that DZ seems to be trying to push with the big eyes and snooty {read: disgusting} lips. They're starting to look more childlike, too, which I dislike in larger dolls.

Oh, well. To those planning to order one, enjoy!

I think Clovera is beautiful!

But I'm not as impressed with the other ones :\

i agree with Tacti, their a bit too child-like and the snooty lips... and I find Beeta's eyes a little oddly shaped.. I dunno, I love the clothing! xD But aside from Clovera, who I still think it a little too young looking for an SD, I'm justnot liking the new dolls as much...

I'm almost a little disappointed in DZ D8 But that's just my personal taste! (I wasn't trying to offend or anything!)
