Dream Valley 1/3 Doll Discussion

That tan is really pretty!

 

Thank you, I think so too! I took some pics in better lighting too to show her color better!


I just think she's gorgeous! I really need to take pics of her with my other DV bodied girl (B56-01 with a DZ head) as a comparison

 

@IzabethS - she's lovely! and what a cute outfit
and that really tan is such a nice tone - it's such a huge improvement from their orange-tan in the past!

 

Thank you so much! This is their light tan and it’s definitely nicer than the orange tan they had. I have an Ann in the orange tan, which really derailed my plans for her… I need to take a pic of them together at some point!

I got Iona (my Vanora above) two different colored wigs to try. One is a dark purple and the other is a pink/purple/blue mix in more pastel tones, but in the same style as this grey one. Who knows, she may still stick with the grey one, but I really want her to have a colorful wig

 

@IzabethS Your Iona is beautiful. Vanora is such a pretty sculpt. I think she’d look wonderful in purple.

Have you all seen Dream Valleys new 75cm boy body. It looks like they are going for a more mainstream popular style with a standard muscular man figure. Dream Valley first drew me in with their unique style and fantasy focus.

I’m interested to see how people find the different head attachment method as it’s very different from the norm. He has magnetic arms as well. so I wonder if they have plans in the pipeline to release fantasy parts that you can swap out. I wonder how strong the magnets are with 75cm being so large.

 

So for anyone who owns the B56-01 like myself, I was recently at NYC Doll Con where Denver Doll was vending and they had three shoes that fit her feet perfectly (like Cinderella's glass slipper). It was the Shoe Shack Anna in SD White and Anna in SD Black, and the LS-270 #Silver.

 

I think this is the right thread for her, since shes 53 cm without heels, but is anyone else feeling in danger with the new girl? She's so pretty! I'm not sure how i feel about the skeletal aspects though

 

I am so tempted by her! I love the instrument as doll concept, and her ceramic-ish texture is amazing . The molding on her spine is the only bit I'm so-so on, the rest of her makes sense as a take on a violin, but that I have a harder time parsing as complimentary to the idea.

 

Odd detail, but I think I have an idea for how to color/blush her. I won't be able to order her, though. That might be a good thing. I enjoy looking at her.

 

I come bearing good tidings! Rejoice, for the Hulk of BJD stringing is still with us. He just doesn't work for Dream Valley anymore.
Looks like he started his own company Qiangsheng Doll.

I ordered the milk candy body cuz it was cheap for 1/3 (with optional parts, tan resin, and shipping, less than $300). The listings have disappeared since then. The IG post from Jane's Dolland is the only thing I could find. I suspect she was a "loss leader": a low-priced doll to generate interest in the company.

The body arrived yesterday, and the trademark DV stink smacked me in the face when I opened the box. The feet are almost identical to DV, and she is strung so tight, it's wild. There's only one man who strings like that - (former) DV man!

However, I am still quite sad. Looks like DV isn't putting out any new really big girls for a while.

 

I'm still kind of sad they didn't make a human version of the 1/3 girl body they released with Vanora and Adria. It was really pretty!

 

So in danger I kept looking at her every day and finally caved in this morning she'll be my first resin girl. I couldn't resist her gorgeous face and her concept, also the striking gold and ceramic look had me

 

Oooh, congrats! You'll have to share pics when she arrives!

 

I sure will!
