DreamHigh Studio Discussion Thread - Part 3

I have my Dream High Studio Moley as the character of Moley in Kenneth Graham's Wind in the Willows! I also have the little yellow mole girl, Roley, so I added her to my stories as Moley's cousin. I've made three books with Blurb and given them to my grandchildren! They absolutely loved the stories! They're on my Flicker site under Janet Linn Flickr!

 

Oh, I’m so glad this Part 3 thread is here! I love my DHS dolls! I have an Alfredo house elf and a Daisy house elf (who are grandparents to a Pocca and a few Tonner Amelia Thimble/Hamish kids). Have any of you with house elves had luck finding shoes? Are there other tinies that have a similar size foot? I bought 3 pair from DHS for Nickelby (Alfredo), but somehow they just don’t look right on my my sweet Holly (Daisy)… I’d love to find even a simple ballet slipper, slide, or maryjane style for her. I tried making sandals for her and failed, so hoping to get ideas here. Thank you!

 

I got an email from DreamHighStudio that said they are discountinuing the house elves. A shame, but I understand! There is quite a large house elf range, what else would be left to do? I can understand perhaps the inspiration for that particular kind of doll is no longer there. There's a few dolls on the site that can still be brought (I got one of the Ying/Yang dolls), and I think there's an offer of getting a mirco bjd with them but it's not on the site, only the email? So no idea if I will get this offer, we'll see. I think I got the last Yang though (one with hairs), as they're sold out!

Good bye house elves! Still some of my favourite little dolls. I'm a little late, but I enjoyed putting all my little elves in their Christmas jumpers.

Silly Xmas jumper ;D by Ella Tron, on Flickr

Need to change them into their normal clothes sometime soon ;D

 

I did finally give in and buy myself a Daisy House Elf, I couldn't miss the chance to own one.

 

Ella_tron, I saw that message on Facebook and asked… here is the reply:

Hi, Thank you very much for your kind supports. We are just closing the existing house elf, not all the "future" projects

We're planning on marketing new 27cm house elfs, with jointed hands, perfected less floppy joints, etc.

The new 14.5 cm house elf will receive new update on the knee joints and thigh for better stability too. This will apply to all existing house elf that ordered in period of November 2023 to recent ones. The joints will have center axis that help the elastic tension pulling equally on all poses. I will make video of it next week

 

That is certainly less dramatic than the "LAST CALL FOR HOUSE ELF" email that came through

Thanks for the update SkoozerBaru, I am intrigued by the new bigger elves? Bit conflicted on the updates to the house elf body though if this affects my order (which it sounds like it will...?). I'm always excited to see something new and like the idea of improvements, but the last house elf improvement was a bit fiddly with the addition of extra magnetic hands. Loved the additional options, but the hands do like to fall off sometimes. Though the suggested improvement does sound useful, so I have faith in the change.

Mostly intrigued!

 

She’s just as adorable in person! I have a Daisy as my Alfredo’s lovely wife. I’d post pictures, but I don’t have a Flickr or Instagram account yet.

 

BTW, I LOVE the Christmas jumper on your Alfredo! Did you make it? My husband bought several of the outfits for my two elves, but I’m having trouble finding shoes for my lady elf (she’s a Daisy). Sigh. She just looks too dainty to wear my Alfredo’s shoes!

 

I love the older dolls, Moley is so cute! Would love to see them if you have some photos

 

LOVE Alfredo, I had the chance to buy a second hand one a year ago but didn't have the money at the time and I still regret it. He's def on my list of dolls to get! I agree it can be hard to find house elf shoes that are a bit more feminine, mine have been barefoot too

 

what a sweet and silly looking guy! I've been really into dolls with changeable faceplates lately so he's definitely on my wishlist, though I might get one of the baby house elves? I need to decide soon before they sell out

 

Thank you! I love the comfy Christmas jumper look. Perfect for the little house elves I was incredibly lucky, and saw this at a Christmas fair. It was meant to be a bauble, but is a wearable jumper. I removed the string that was attached to allow it to be attached to the tree. I brought it with the elves in mind and was very happy when it fit! Just one of those lucky finds! I've not had much luck finding shoes to be honest All my elves are without shoes

Thank you, he is a cutie! He's got that sweet, but humourous grand father look to him. One that likes to play small pranks every now and then, haha.

The baby elves are so cute! I don't own one, but would be tempted to one day but may probably need to get it second hand one day. I like that they come with different faceplates, and would like to see more of the grumpy one. That could make for fun pictures.

 

Ahhhh all the fb photos of mica and gabi are tempting me to get one

 

My two little baby elves were totally enjoying their very first Easter....

 

Look who arrived last week! I grabbed a Daisy at her last chance sale and she's here!

No wig or shoes yet and she's wearing a borrowed dress that's about pukifee/Lati Yellow sized from my pile of weird assorted commercial toy-market doll clothes, until I can get her the outfit she needs.

 

One of my 4 much loved Squees

 

I just purchased a 27 centimeter 'Larry' House Elf from fabric Friends and Dolls! It's the first time I've purchased a new DHS doll, though I do have Roley and Moley which I purchased second hand. I've been looking for an old/elderly doll for a while and I never realized until recently that DHS was now making 1/6 dolls! I loved all the little House Elves, but I wanted a bigger doll to fit into the scale of most of the dolls I already own. Does anyone else have a 27 cm House Elf?
