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

Feb 7, 2018

    1. TAT yesssss!!! Okay we talked and she has actually ordered the 04 body. She said if it’s not the correct one when it arrives, we will talk about my options.

      @Leo Pheonix i was told the head would fit on either body, and their neck diameter is supposedly the same… however, DV only planned to sell them that way and no other configuration. My assumption is rather than being unable to produce the doll, it’s possible that since DV makes special foam packaging for their different sculpts, the packaging for Howard with his long ears was only meant for the smaller body. It’s just a theory.

      Christina did say it was far too late to change the head order and I understand that. I really wanted the giraffe head anyway.

    2. Hopefully it'll work out that you'll get what you wanted to begin with in the end!

    3. CRAWLS BACK ONTO THE INTERNET, HI, HELLO

      I finally made some progress on my wolftaur! Doing the joint mods I wanted really burned me out, so he's been in his box for... fooooour months.

      I like the Chaos fullset palette but I wanted something more scuff-proof than pastels: this is several shades of Krylon Fusion, decanted into a jar and then applied through the airbrush. It leaves a much smoother finish than straight from the can.

      Please excuse the mess, I can't brush the wig because there's some unfinished weft ends in there (had to cut holes for the ball joints I added to the ears) and I don't want them to unravel.

    4. @ChilmarkGryphon He looks great, I love the creamy bits on his ears and tailtip you brought in. Elvish makes a good head for the body, too.

      Do you have more shots of the ear jointing you added? I was considering doing something similar for my Chaos whenever he turns up, since the straight up ears are my only visual nitpick for who he’s meant to be shelling.
       
    5. I have no useful progress pictures, but I can describe it for you. There are hemispherical sockets drilled into the headcap, powerful disc magnets applied to the bottoms of the sockets from the inside (really difficult to install: the headcap magnets will want to grab them), and then on the ear side, the flat magnets were replaced with big steel ball bearings set in epoxy clay. The part of the ear that wraps around the head had to be trimmed to allow for the range of motion.

    6. Hey everyone,

      I was just wondering if the shoulder measurement listed for the B4-11 body are correct? Is it really 6.3cm across??
       
    7. Need some opinions!

      Do you guys think... the human Grayson head would fit on the B4-11 girl body? Neck difference of 0.2 cm.
       
    8. This feels unlikely, but has anyone experienced staining with painting done by DV? I'm cleaning off my Chaos and while the majority of the paint wipes off instantly, everywhere they did the bloody scratches doesn't fully come off, leaving a faint pink stain; makes for a great base for a scar, actually.

      Really I'm not sure if it's a byproduct of their painting process, the translucent resin, or both. Thankfully it doesn't conflict with my plans, but I was surprised by it nonetheless.

    10. I'm waiting on DV bodies for DiM heads, but Doll Leaves bodies are pretty close to DiM. I have a Flowne on one and the ns match is just a shade or two off. :)

    12. No worries!! Yes dream valley should match, like a 90-95% + match. I borrowed my roomie's ns larina head (I think 2019?) and put it with my 2021 dv pink skin Zhao for you!

      I hope that helps! :whee:

      As for the looseness, DL necks are only 6.5cm, a bigger neck would probably be a better fit, but you could always low-temp hot glue suede the neck hole for a bit more traction!

    15. Have you guys seen the teaser DV recently posted to their Instagram? Rah has both an eagle version and human version. No size listed yet though. He looks amazing.

    16. Yes, I saw it too, but looking on the shape of the feets and right hand, I'm not sure he is MSD. I think he is propably on B73-01 body.:(
      It would be really lovely to see Scar and Rah in MSD size version someday.:eusa_pray

    18. Oh I really like the new standard body :D Makes me glad I didn’t yet buy the one I was planning on.

      The way Rah’s head is articulated reminds me a lot of how they’ve done the wolf tails so I’m curious if their promo pics are the full extent of his range of motion or not.

    19. Rah is gorgeous! Dream Valley, please. My wallet can’t handle this.
      I didn’t know I needed a bird-man, but now my mind is like, “Wow, you can get Rah in gray and then dye his bird parts black and then you’d have a gorgeous crow character.”
      *considers*
