Dream of Doll: DoT and DoI - Part 7

I am so excited for you!! 15 years is about how long I've been wanting a DoD as well. I can't imagine how over the moon you must be about it. Can't wait to see pics when she arrives!

 

Thank you so much! Yes she has been very unobtainable for me, for a very long time. Very rare second hand in decent condition and a decent price. There is one on ebay atm, but be prepared to pay over 2kUSD :')

I do have two other DOD's One is a Petsha Elf and the other an E-an (I-ra's sculpt without elf ears) I wish you luck on getting one!

 

I saw that 2k one! There was also a 1k girl last week I think. I am so hesitant about ebay since I've seen fakes on there. But just out of curiosity..... Do DoD usually run about 1-2k now days? Or is that just for the super rare ones? Trying to brace myself for what kind of cash I'll need to drop eventually

 

It really depends on where you find them. I have no status about the marketplace on this forum what prices they go for. But ebay is ridiculous! People also sell on other social media and it is a matter of first come serve and good luck!
I don't use social media or other popular places, so I have even more limited options But yes you probably should be prepared for 600-900 usd. I think DOD is becoming more popular again?

Also do yourself a favor not to fall in love with Black elf Ducan like me xD Only two worldwide made I think. Or black elf luke, my gosh *3*

 

Okay 600-900 is more reasonable. I feel like it was around 500 back in the day, so with inflation that's actually not bad.

I've made my peace with those. They are gorgeous but I'm not counting on any of the limited ones lol! I do love the elf ears though. I'll have to see if there's any ways to custom make some add on elf ears or something like that.

 

I think this is Camine based on the shape of his eyes and position of his eyelid crease. Sha’s eyelid crease is lower and closer to his upper lash line. For me I differentiate between Lahoo, Sha and Camine based on their eyes.

 

That's great to know, thank you!
Also wish me luck, @Miko_Chan has linked me to a Camine for sale... So I might get my dream boy way sooner than I expected!! I'm just waiting for the seller to reply to me

 

@Aleksantaeri that is a DOT Camine I'm admittedly biased, but Camine was my first doll and still my favorite/grail! Also, welcome to the thread! It is always so nice to hear about how many people still love and appreciate DOD.

@Miko_Chan congratulations!!

 

@Aleksantaeri Hello and welcome to this thread ! =D It's so great to see other DoD lovers
Congratulation to find your Camine ! =D
I totally understand your feeling because I discovered the world of BJD thanks to DOT Camine and this beautiful boy became ma grail doll. I finally can find him last year and some years before, I found a gorgeous Tender Lahoo head. Patience is the most important quality in our hobby, but it's really reward when we can find our grail doll ! =D

 

In the Western market, the price depends entirely on which sculpt it is, plus the condition and faceup. I'd say the cost has evened out recently to a normal 500-700 range, but even finding one for sale is hard these days. I see a lot of doll sales happening on Instagram and discord these days, where dolls go quick.

That being said, the Japanese market tends to have cheaper prices. I bought my DOT Shall from mandarake for under $200, and she was in near perfect condition. You just have to use a lot of different search terms to find them on Japanese sites, because their naming conventions are all over the place with BJDs.

 

@Aleksantaeri I believe he is Camine, need confirmation from others but definitely not a Sha, the side profile doesn't match

You can compare it with this picture

 

@Aleksantaeri - I reckon that's definitely Camine! I had to double take myself because a lot of the other wig photos are of Lahoo Sha and Camine are super similar in photos - less so in person. Good luck with getting him!
Price-wise the market is all over the place I'll not shame myself with the upper number but sometimes the rarer ones are pretty reasonable and the more common sculpts are more expensive, it just depends on the seller.

@Miko_Chan Congrats - if that's the one I saw she's a beauty! (I nabbed a couple girls from them too )

I'm still working on my collection (+big projects) so I'm not around as much as I'd like to be

 

Definitely a Camine. The wig was released before Sha was xD (even though Sha is just boy-Shall, you can definitely tell Shall and Camine apart)

 

Thank you all for the help identifying him!! I just hope I can bring him home now~ I'll need to find him some clothes that fit if so.

Do you guys ever see DOD clothing pop up in secondhand sales or are they usually only bundled with a doll? I imagine it would be hard to keep some of the clothing items after all this time without them falling apart, but I loved how detailed and edgy they were

 

Oh hi!! I'm the one who linked you to her on reddit haha. Congratulations again!

 

wait, did you get that beautiful delphine? She is one gorgeous girl. Yes I snatched that I-ra from the shop a couple a days ago. I'm just sitting around sweating and so nervous. She needs to come right now

Omg hello again! I lurked your profile a bit. So so many beautiful dolls! your frosty ice prince is to die for!

 

Hehe thank you!! Dream of Doll definitely holds a special place in my heart! It was so hard not to buy that Kalix and Delphine they had up too honestly. I already have them but something about the default faceup option was appealing!

 

They don't come up often but they do appear sometimes! WTB posts in the marketplace help because I don't think a lot of DOD clothes came labelled as such but reference pictures jog memory.

I did! She's keeping that although I might add a little extra red blush to her lips.
I nabbed Delphine and U-i - and Delphine has absolutely rocketed over here as she's out for delivery today (U-i got herself trapped in Customs so I'll have a ransom on her to pay first )

Now I just wanna know who got Kalix I have a NS one so I couldn't justify him as well!

 

Thank you for the tip! Once I have marketplace access I will try to find some. I was able to complete my purchase of Camine this morning. Waiting for him is going to be excruciating because he's my first doll. I guess I'll spend the time comparing his body measurements to other dolls out there and try to find him a wig and something to wear

 

I'm in a similar predicament and I'm curious if either of you successfully did a faceup touch up on your dolls? It's been a few years so I'm hoping maybe you have a recommendation for me now from the seller photos I suspect my Camine will need a lip touchup when he arrives
