Dream Valley Mini Discussion Thread

I'm having to fight myself over ordering one of those Wolftaurs in Dragon's Blood Red! I just know they'd be gorgeous! It's such a deep and unique color for them!

 

I couldn't fight myself- I've already ordered one. ^^;

 

A question for my fellow DV Mini (well, large mini) B4-04 owners - how in the world are you dressing them? I have my boys stuck in long skirts and wizard robes but want to buy them actual clothes... has anyone found a good place to get them properly sized clothing? Especially pants!

 

I managed to get Achelous's head with faceup expedited since I'll be out of the country soon and for the summer (not sure what to do about the other orders but I'll figure it out) and it's ....really sparkly. The faceup is glittery as hell. Are... Dream Valley faceups usually this sparkly? Most of my dolls have company faceups and only one has sparkles in her's, but it's nowhere as much as Achelous's.Otherwise, he's pretty cute. Waiting on his body. Here's some pics of his company faceup for human Achelous.

 

I also received my human Achelous full doll (B4-04 body) today, here's the box opening thread. So, so pleased!! The anpiel is a genderless little angel in my doll world. (One day I'll sand off the private parts, but it'll have a male body for now.)

@dayspring10 I got the factory faceup too, but I don't think it's that sparkly. I barely noticed it at all and it doesn't show up in my photos. It's very lovely!

 

Oooohhh how's everyone feeling about the new tentacle girl? She looks so interesting and complex!

 

I'm not interested in having a doll with tentacles though I do like the new girl Amal's face. I am highly tempted by the red resin though.

 

Awww! She looks like a little baby Ursula! Only 4 tentacles, sadly.
Anyone else getting Coral Reef vibes? Just me?

 

If the tentacle boy had 8 instead of 4 I might've been in trouble as I do have a character who has the lower body of an octopus. My wallet was grateful that wasn't the case. Still a very cool doll though. I'm also safe on the red resin, as gorgeous as it is, because I've recently received a doll that's been dyed a very deep red.

 

Does anyone know if the Freyja would work on a male body? The neck measurement for her human version is 6.8 cm and the male body is listed as 6.7cm.

 

I've been eyeing DV dolls for a while now, and I finally decided it's time to order one when I saw Amal - I had a look on DV website where they show the body poseability and it looks just so surreal and fluid that I had to order her straight away I picked grey as the base colour - I wish DV allowed more colour combinations, for example, I think grey-red would be cool, but there is always the option to just dye the tentacles in colour I want, which I will probably do.

 

I don't own a Freyja head, but .1 cm is a very small difference in terms of head/neck sizes. Especially since the head hole is the bigger one, I'd say this would definitely fit.

 

Not trying to self-promote - I remember someone asking somewhere that they wanted to see pics of the new B4-19 female 45 cm body. I finally got around to posting some here.

 

Newest DV mini is now on their site! Uncia, the snow leopard boy. I really like seeing an anthro head option and that they offer just the pawed legs on their own, though I don't know if I'll go for either just yet. The tail being available during 'the first sale' makes me hope that they'll offer the paw legs long-term.

 

The new boy looks great! I won’t be buying him myself, but I’m interested to see if they make more anthro heads in the future. Their dragon/human hybrid dolls have always been gorgeous and it would be awesome to see dolls like that with full dragon heads. Or maybe a werewolf doll with a wolf head some day? Lots of possibilities if they make more anthro dolls in the future.

 

They seem to be heading toward more anthro indeed. They also had the bunny girls earlier that year, and one head was clearly less human.

I'm probably going to buy that boy, unless something unexpected prevents me from doing it. Snow leopard+tibetan clothes is a personal attack on me it feels.

 

I'm so excited to see what else Dream Valley has planned for these interchangeable lower parts. I've already got the female three-part body coming (with the bunny girl), but now I'm tempted to grab a male three-part body eventually.

But I've already got their SD cat boy, Scar, so I think I'm safe from this new cat boy, even if his Tibetan outfit is preeetty.

(Hey Dream Valley, you interested in making an anthro kitsune with all the tails?)

 

A werewolf with a properly wolfy head and digi legs is my dream. But yeah, bring on the anthro heads. All the anthro heads.

 

I always knew from starting the hobby that I wanted a snow leopard themed doll as snow leopards are one of my favorite animals. I loved the promo photos but was worried it would be the 73cm scar body so I'm excited the new release is in 1/4 scale! I actually really like the whole fullset so will most likely order it

It's also great to see DV are starting to offer more parts, it's fun to be able to change out fantasy parts and maybe create new combinations

 

What are the thoughts on the two-part versus three-part body design? Looking at the sample photo and pricing, it looks like it'd allow some waist rocking, but the main difference is one less part to deal with while restringing. Is the waist joint that useful?
