Dream Valley Mini Discussion Thread

I'm loving the new snow leopard boy! I'm not normally one for anthro sculpts but his beast head looks amazing, his clothes really suit him and he's just gorgeous overall. I won't be able to order him since the timing is bad and I have other things to pay for But I look forward to seeing owner photos!!

 

The three part body allows you to swap out the lower body with other compatible lower bodies. I assume they'll release more dolls that you can change the lower body on. For the males Achelous's mermaid lower body can be swapped with Uncia's snow leopard lower body and vice-versa. Here it mentions the replaceable parts.

 

Put my order in for a snowy-fullset, now comes the painfully long wait! With the naga doll and now the snowleopard guy, Dream Valley are making sure I don't have any money this year

 

If they do this for girls... Wait a minute. Why haven't they done this for the girls?!? I've got a Rita manitaur and an Abyss mermaid that this would be perfect for! Waaaaah!

 

Aha, makes more sense now! Still debating this guy. I love the legs and clawed hands, I just wonder if they're gonna do a canid with him sooner rather than later.

 

Snow leopard marks the third time this year dream valley came after my wallet, time to hide for the rest of the year to recover

I’m now waiting on the bunny Olivia, the Phoenix, and now the snow leopard Uncia

 

DV continues to knock it out of the park with fantasy dolls, wow! already placed my order for uncia

 

I can confirm that the 3 part torso Safina (rabbit girl) has the resin loop and hook set up that Uncia does. So it seems like DV had already planned and implemented being able to switch lower bodies on their fantasy leg dolls for both the female and male dolls.

It's not a complete surprise as I know people have asked about being able to swap upper/lower bodies on previous fantasy doll and it does seem like DV listens to what people ask for! I noticed on the release of the 1/6 naga doll, a bunch of people asked if they would do a 1/4 version so I'm thinking I need to start putting some money aside in case DV listens again

 

I think it's very likely they'll do some sort of canine version so it's just a matter of waiting! Though given how long-leggy DV likes to make their dolls, I can imagine a Maned Wolf would be pretty cool. I actually thought the wolf-taurs looked like Maned Wolves but nor sure if anyone's done their doll up as one?

 

Does Randall count? I was half going for Maned wolf when I was painting him. I need to give him a bit of a touch up at some point.

 

While I keep mulling over Uncia, it occurred to me: Dream Valley seems to have a pattern of previewing the next doll prior to the current one's period ending. So far for 2023, we've had:

-merman
-girl/dragon/dragontaur
-bunny girls
-no gender phoenix
-centaur boy (with bonus wolftaurs)
-Tentacle girl (with bonus tentacle boy)
-snake girls
-and now currently, snow leopard boy.

What critter will the next preview be? BASELESS THEORIZING, GO!

 

Speculation is fun!

This year's lineup put in a different way...
- fish tail
- 4-leg dragon
- 2-leg paw with animal head
- 2-leg avian with wings
- 4-leg hooves
- many leg tentacles
- snake tail
- 2-leg paw with animal head

Maybe we're due something spooky for Halloween? Minotaur-type creature with beast head, claws and human body? A doll with a mask or modular head-type ornaments would be interesting.
How about insectoid, 6 or 8 legs? Even something plant-like?

This year's lineup is all 1/4 and 1/6... DV doesn't make many large dolls, but it'd be cool if they squeeze in a 1/3 before the end of the year. They haven't been too adventurous with fantasy 1/3s (for good reason, not easy to engineer at that size), but I can imagine a minotaur-type for a large doll.

Dream Valley's monthly releases reminds me of Soom's Gem MDs back in the day. They must be taking a leaf out of Soom's book, because this marketing is so successful.

.
Can't speculate without paying the doll tax. Here's the anpiel (DV Achelous human), looking very mischievous with Halcyon (Dollstown Rhea).

 

Oh, a dragon centaur would absolutely kill my wallet, but for Dream Valley I would do it. 1/4 snakes would also be lovely. I would also love a male version of the scorpion girls or skeleton mermaid girls that they previously released. Or maybe a bone dragon? Like the Greyson/Collier type, but with skeletal wings and tails for the spooky season.

Speaking of things, here's my new boy with his tail and wings! The tail is going to go in storage for now because my apartment is small and I don't want to risk damaging it until I have the proper space to display it, but it is so pretty! My little mer dragon.

 

A male drider (spider-taur) would be temptation for me. A tentacle boy (with 8 tentacles) would also be tempting.

 

If they ever do a lion-taur I'll be in serious trouble. Though honestly I'm almost in trouble every time they post a new doll, so.

 

I don't collect girls and my collection is quite large at this point (79 dolls). But I was wickedly tempted by their Bast girl (she's a tiny). I resisted but whenever I see her in the MP, I'm tempted all over again. DV has my number and it may be on speed dial, lol.

 

they put my number right next to yours apparently
i'm tryna hold out and not cave but that snow leopard is so cute.

 

I was/am seriously tempted by the current Uncia Beast Face full set. I just don't think he'd quite fit with my current crew. I ordered a Freyja head and the muscular male body in the limited red available during the last event period.

 

I'm also considering Uncia Beast face version, but I'm not a big fan of DV's white. At least a few years ago the doll I got wasn't really white but had a bit of yellow to it that of course has just increased in the four years I've owned the doll.

How do people think he would look in gray? I've done some two minute color mods on their photos to show a very approximate version of a gray doll with the fullset. Obviously these are DV's official photos, just with a bad white to gray mod.





Any opinions? I'd also consider just skipping the body blushing. While nice looking it really cuts down on the ability to play with the doll in my experience as it just chips so easily. Or maybe I'd get it and see how it goes as there's not much price difference ordering the fullset, vs ordering everything from the fullset but the blushing and easy to wipe if it becomes a problem.

 

Just so you know, @scripple Dream Valley's gray has a bluish tone to it. My Howard is gray and I like the color. I think Uncia would look pretty neat in that color. I have a Rosa in white and she is definitely not paper white, which is fine for her, but might be less ideal for a snow leopard.
