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. Preview of the next doll: a chimera! I'm very eager to see more pics of her, and what kind of fullset they're planning. She's not the canine I keep hoping for, but that beastly look tempts me.

    2. Oh I really like her bone tail, I wonder if I can sneak a blank version into the budget?

    3. Lookit her! I'm going to need to mull over this one. I have no interest in the leg swap functionality myself, but I'll be curious to see other people's thoughts on it.

    5. So much truth in those words.

    6. As much as I love chimera, I'm not in love with the undead bone tail. I do like how many joints it has, but if I was to buy her, I'd have to saw off those spurs and put a faux-fur sheath over the whole thing. Which is a bit tempting, I admit! The thing that will probably keep me from buying her, though, is the fact that she'd be more useful to me in 1/3 scale...
       
    7. @Cryptid Did your dragon boy come with eyes or were they ones you had lying around? Either way, do you know what size eyes the 1/4 dragon takes.

      I haven't had any news on mine but it occurred to me that I might want to look for eyes ahead of time.
       
    8. He came with eyes; for both the 1/6 and 1/4 scale dragons, it's 8 mm. I went ahead and bought new glass cabochon eyes off of Etsy, though, as I really don't like white sclera on dragons.

    10. Ahh, he's beautiful. Love the marbling and delicate reflections the gold gives off!

    11. Oh I LOVE him! He’s like a bone marble guy, looks really good in white resin too. Sooooorrt of starting to regret not getting one
       
    12. chimera is so tempting, but I have to be strong. I told myself, no NEW bjds this year, I need to focus on bodies for my floating heads.
      But ooo she's fabulous.

      They keep making these incredible things and it doesn't help that for the detail and artistry, the prices are staggeringly reasonable.

    13. @Cryptid so fabulous! A unique color scheme certainly, and it looks beautiful so far
       
    14. Thank you for all the kind comments! He's been really fun to work on.

      This is definitely my struggle, along with the dragon (while amazing) also taking up a good chunk of the doll budget starting January 1st. But yeah, reminding myself of the same. I'm expecting to see the Maurren head in a month or two, which means body, eyes, wig...
       
    15. That dragon is AMAZING, @Cryptid !!!

      So I was checking out what new dolls arrived for others and I realized I forgot to post Amal that arrived few months ago. I have not been doing much with her yet, as I don't have a "vision" for her style yet, but I love the mask and the tentacles are super fun!

    16. Dream Valley shared a a picture of their next girl. Sina Visitor System
      She has two sets of arms which is super cool and I really love the leafy head and leg pieces.

      More pics up on a project page, showing him as I went, with completed pics on my gallery. For the best view of him, though, I did a video showing him off in various poses at different angles:

    18. @Feathered Shadows - Oh dear, another temptation. I wonder if green will be an option? I do hope those wings on her legs are removeable, though - I'd be so worried about breaking them.

      @Cryptid - Such a great idea for a white dragon - I especially like how the face turned out! Nice work!
       
    19. I am soooo loving that new moth girl they are teasing, I just KNOW she will have to get ordered. And I am still waiting for the Lylia Mermaid girl! Dream Valley, what are you doing to my budget!! and doll cabinet!
