Dream Valley Mini Discussion Thread

those bunny legs delight me but I can't justify it. I mean I LOVE animal legs on dolls and DV is definitely more affordable than the fairyland fantasy dolls but nghh.

I wonder if we'll get boys to go with the girls at some point. They often do that.

I often wish you could buy their special bodies on their own, but alas.

 

I am also hugely tempted by those bunnies. I need to check about real life adult spendings first, but maybe... I guess I have a month to figure that out orz

not sure if I'd go with the human face of the bunny face tho. They're both very cute in their own way!

 

So my Dean that I ordered on the B4-04 body arrived a bit ago, but he came on the B4-13 body! I ordered him through cloversinging so I emailed Christina and she said that DV is very sorry and will produce a B4-04 for her to send me! I was so surprised! I was expecting them either to want me to send the B4-13 body back, or let me keep it and offer me the B4-04 at a discounted price... Not free! Maybe this is normal but it blows my mind that they'd let me keep something as expensive as a doll body!

 

maryw13, congrats! It's very rare when company doing this, but it's very kind from their side. Cos u waited this doll + maybe u had some plans on some date. Its a compensation for their mistake

 

Yeah, right now I’m shaking my fist at Dream Valley too! My plans to not add any more dolls this year just completely went up in smoke when I saw this cutie. It doesn’t help that I’m a real sucker for human dolls with animal parts in general (shapeshifters for the win in my collection!) And it really doesn’t help that a part of my collection is lovingly called Bunnyland either. And she’s absolutely gorgeous to boot (along with her outfit too…it’s so my fairytale jam.) I was absolutely doomed the moment I saw Olivia. Thank goodness for a 10% discount and generous layaways because I just had to order her fullset.

 

Fortunately I'm not interested in the new rabbit girls, since I did order tiny dragon girl Izzy from DV this month.
I saw a DoA member post showing their just arrived Dawn/Aurora, so I'm hoping to get the bow and hands I ordered for Morrigan (my Rosa) during that order period soon!

 

A dream valley newb here, but does anyone have any good (or conversely 'no'pe, that'll never work') tips/options for hybrid match-ups for the DV bodies? I think I've seen some doll leaves & DIM while searching but any others stand out?

 

@acidquill I've seen someone on DOA put minifee head on DV body and I quite liked the hybrid

 

Ooooo I was wondering if that would work! I have a couple MNF (ns) and DZ minis (ws..... & somehow I forgot I have/had Reiko twins to complete??) that need bods and the DVs look lovely though I wasn't sure of scale/fit from what I've poked around & found so far

 

@acidquill I tried to search quickly and haven't found that post but instead came across this gorgeous creation: https://denofangels.com/threads/int...m-valley-monster-hybrid.796165/#post-12602363

 

The closest thing I have to a DV hybrid is a head and body combo from them they don't sell as a full doll but fit together perfectly.
And because I'm very pleased with how the new dress I made Morrigan came out, here she is wearing it.
Morrigan's Retro Orange Dress

 

Hey folks! Does anyone know of any jointed hands that work with the B4-17 48cm body? It's such a gorgeous body but I simply have too many photo plans to keep one hand position on that doll once i order him (and multiple pairs would be both imperfect and possibly prohibitively expensive). Thanks in advance!

 

I'm planning to get a Dream Valley body for a Doll chateau hybrid. Does anyone know if normal pink from both companies fit each other? Both would be a new order.

 

I don't know, but I believe they are sister companies? If you compare DC and DV bodies, the resemblance is striking.
I would email a dealer and ask. IIRC, DV doesn't accept direct orders.

 

They are, or at least were, sister companies. They used to have the exact same resin shades, but suddenly they don't offer peach or moon white for example. In another thread I found, they said that DC white doesn't fit DV white anymore. So I'm worried^^'.
It wouldn't matter too much if I didn't want the faceup so bad.

I'm trying to figure out which dealer I haven't sent a ton of emails to this past weeks...

 

DC and Dollzone are sister companies. DV was established by former DC sculptors/apprentices, but is not actually related otherwise.

I would not count on them having identical resin, but I don't have NP from either company for an actual comparison.

 

Thank you for your information !

They used to have identical WS. I have a dollzone, Doll chateu, Dream valley and an old Souldoll white that were the exact same shades. But all of them except the Souldoll was bought at the same time from Alice Collections. But that was 2019 and I think many things have changed since. I will have to plague the Doll chateau thread to see if they have comparisons...

 

This is how I ended up in this thread! I have been searching for good bodies for a spare mnf head and fell in love with the new b4-19! When those bodies start shipping would anyone be willing to take a photo comparison with a mnf to help me plan out a possible hybrid?

 

Oh wow everything about Morrigan is just perfect! I love that dress too, it looks really good on her.

 

@Golden Thanks! She was the first MSD sized doll I got after years of tinies, I really love her.
