1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Dream Valley Mini Discussion Thread 2

Apr 27, 2024

    1. On the one hand, Aurora is amazing. On the other, I definitely wheezed at the comparison.
       
    2. Just a heads up if you ordered through DDE. I was not seeing the full set option, so emailed them and they said oops our bad fixed it and had to add the full set option to the the wolf and human versions.
      So now it's options for nude, and full set showing.

    3. I was so tempted to take a picture with the turkeys, but they're super attracted to shiny objects and will try to eat them immediately, so I thought better of it :lol: The gal turkey will literally chase people if they're wearing something she thinks is interesting! Her brother's a bit lazier, but if I put this doll right next to him, he might have something to say about it.

      But oh my gosh you nailed it, that's exactly what he looks like :XD:I'm not familiar with this singer but I'm never going to unsee this!
       
    4. @Rekka Seeing your lizard man is making me regret not getting one! Maybe DV will do something kind of similar again in the future..

      I love how the new wolf boy now has Yee-howl as his official nickname! I'm a bit tempted to get a blank tan one and paint him to look like a coyote. But my doll display space is very crowded.

    5. I think that's quite probable, so you'll likely have your chance! If you'll permit my conspiracy theorizing, this pretty gal points to that possibility:

      I gotta say that this style of clawed feet is so much nicer than Velarde's (insofar as they're a lot more dynamic) that I would almost be willing to bet that we will see another dragon/lizard, but with this style of feet.

      My confidence in this is purely due to how often Dream Valley seems to read my mind, and maybe by saying this I will manifest it :XD:

      But for real, I see a pretty clear evolution of Dream Valley's style with each release. Velarde improved on the engineering of the previous dragon boy... Cayes, I think? And parallel to this line, we've had Nirvana Phoenix, Maurren, and now Milien, who I feel takes the best of both of her predecessors and improves on them massively. I'm absolutely in love with these feet and if they produce a new dragon/lizard boy with the articulated toes like this, I'm not gonna be able to resist.

    6. Pardon the pants-less doll photo, but here's how the Phoenix Nirvana legs look on the Maurren body in case anyone was interested.

      [​IMG]

      He's still using his original hip piece because it has the magnet for his crow tail, but the Phoenix legs fit perfectly with it. I actually prefer the shorter Phoenix legs than the super long Maurren legs with his body, he looks a lot more realistically proportioned now.

    7. Oh, thank you for posting that, I was super curious what Phoenix's legs would look like on him! I almost bought them specifically for that purpose (but now I have Milien's instead, once I'm brave enough to try unstringing and restringing) :XD: They look really good, I wouldn't know that they were not part of Maurren's intended design.
