Dollzone Baby BB 23cm - 29.5cm discussion part 3

Oooh that's exciting! I can't wait to see photos of her. Have you thought of a name yet?

 

She's amazingly already in my country, so I am hoping she arrives this coming week! I'm currently entertaining the name "Faye" because I want her to be a little fae like critter. I'm hoping I can fit the strong magnets into her upper torso so I won't need to put them on the outside for her Luts wings I got!

 

Oh that's a pretty name Fingers crossed you can get the magnets into her torso!

 

Faye arrived with a plethora of undisclosed issues (like being on a boy body and with severe uneven yellowing), but I worked out a partial refund so I can begin the customization process.


This pic was taken under warm-white lighting in the evening. The head is almost grey from the red pigment being faded. I also filed off the boy bits so I can finally start making her into what I want. I’m also hoping I can blush her more purple.

I couldn’t get the magnets to hold through the resin, so I attached them with painters tape to her back. She can stand with them, but it’s not easy because of how the feet are sculpted. She doesn’t like standing without wings even (wants to fall back), but it’s okay. I need to check if I got shoes for her…

 

Wow! She's adorable!

The wings look great!

Sorry she/he arrived with so many issues. But, I know with your talent you'll make this doll look awesome!

 

Thank you! I'm slowly painting her alongside a few other things, but I am not too sure yet what look I want for her. But I am bonding with her slowly (I already modded her into a girl, so no more boy bits to see!)

 

What a bummer about the issues, but hey, she's still super cute!! I'm sure you'll turn her into the perfect little fae.

 

I got her faceup finished, and put her back on her body! Nothing is permanent yet, but I'm slowly enjoying her


I'm hoping to pick up some things for her at Epic Doll Fair

Spoiler: Full body picture of her

 

I was really hoping to have my dollzone po in for the NY BJD con but despite having been supposedly shipping to the dealer in January, he was still in transit in early feb and I haven't heard any update since. Like, I'll have enough on my hands to deal with but since he was a full-set it was going to be nice to have a fully ready doll. My current crew is largely all in process of something which is a bit of a bummer lol

 

Oh she looks so sweet! Did you blush her wings too?

 

Thank you! And I didn’t, they came blushed from the company (Luts), I got them secondhand and knew they’d be perfect for a future doll

 

They're gorgeous! They suit her very well.

 

Finally got a proper wig for Faye, and eyes, but I haven’t taken a pic of her with her new eyes yet…


I really love how she’s coming together now!

 

Oh my gosh she's gorgeous! Those wings are stunning and I love her faceup!

 

Oh that wig looks so cute on her!

 

thank you! I got it in a last minute leekeworld order, where I ordered like 5 wigs. 4 have found a home on dolls (of which one is going to a friend’s preordered Little Snow), and the last wig I’m holding onto just in case!

Thank you! I’m gradually getting the itch to repaint her to match her to her wig haha! But she’s fine as she is for now, gotta complete a few other projects first

 

Those wings are so majestic! Congrats!

 

Thank you so much! I'm so glad I was able to get this set of wings secondhand as well as originally I only wanted the white set for one of my wife's dolls. Originally I wanted Faye to have fairy wings, but I have none, and she looks great with these so angelic she is (but a mischievous one)

 

For Doll Zone's 20th anniversary event it was announced that the company is discontinuing some of their dolls and doll bodies! I had sent an email to Erica at Legend Doll asking for specifics on which dolls and bodies and received a generic answer ("refer to the announcement page") this morning. There is a picture on the anniversary promotion page (link here) that shows several dolls under the discontinuation portion "activity 6" at the bottom of the page. A direct link to the image is here. Clicking the picture on Legend Doll links to a selection of the dolls being discontinued (link here).

It looks like Little Snow and Milky Tea are among the dolls being discontinued. Perhaps it means their bodies too? For reference the bodies for Little Snow and Milky Tea are:

1. B27 - 004 (Little Snow)
2. B27 - 010 (Milky Tea)

I wish the information was more specific! I think I will try asking Doll Zone directly. Earlier this month I was able to purchase a Little Rain secondhand and having a Little Snow to accompany him was on my "eventually" wishlist. This recent announcement was disheartening since I think both the dolls and their bodies are quite lovely. (Although to be fair I think Little Snow is an older sculpt?)

 

Yeah, I saw the announcement too with Little Snow's picture in the to be discontinued list. She was released during winter 2017, so she's been around a while. Still sad to see her go as well. I really love the B27-004 body, my Daomiao is on it. My Little Snow is on the B27-005 body, but I modded it to be a girl body. If I could change the body I would, but she's purple and I don't trust my dyeing skills yet to match it.

I know there's a 1/4 scale version of Little Snow, but I don't want to expand my 1/4 collection so it's sad to see the 1/6 version go. I love seeing owner pics of dolls I own too but styled by different collectors.


Adding an update on Faye, I repainted her and got her a new outfit and eyes as well.
