@ophelia Bee-A has always had different hands from the other girls. Her boobs were also sligthtly (very slightly) bigger, because she and Too were portrayed as young teens and the other DoCs were young children. Those two bodies and hand types co-existed at the same time, so they won't help you determine her age, I'm afraid. My friend and I had Mir and Twing-Key from 05 and they both came with the more childlike body with the chunkier hands.
Hi all.. I haven't been in this hobby for awhile, but a recent dollmeet has gotten be to become more active again! I thought I'd drop into this thread to share a photo of my first boy. Please meet my DOC Hoo, Heisa! I got him when I first joined the hobby in 2005 and he is currently on a modded WS MNF girl-to-boy body from 2008. I can't believe that he's already 14 years old.
Congrats on your Twingkey, she's adorable! I've always loved that sculpt. I have both a Pitts(chunky hands) and Bee-A(thinner spread finger hands) from 2005, and they are both pre-superpink resin. Your girl looks really good for her age! I wonder if she might be from a bit later when dod changed to the really pink resin? I'm not exactly sure of the timeline for that though, maybe 2007?
@ophelia Ah, actually, now that nakitama mentioned it, I looked at your photo more carefully and your Twing Key is definitely from the pink time. Her wrists are structured completely differently from the first DoCs. They didn't have a separate wrist cap like that before; they hardly had any wrist ball at all and the hands were strung with string instead of S hooks. I'm not entirely sure when they changed the hands, but I would also place her around the time Petsha and the new girl body was introduced, so 2007-ish. I definitely never got those hands and I bought DoCs on the old body until 2006. @kagami Welcome back. I actually remember your Hoo. C: (I think I tried to keep tabs on all DoD owners back then)
Thank you both for the welcome back! @Yenna oh my goodness! you remember him? that's awesome! i was just looking at your profile and your girl is very familiar too! I remember her being equally striking~
@nakitama and @Yenna, thanks for the information! I didn't know the resin formula had changed, so that's good to know. Also, I didn't know the hand attachment had changed from strings to S-hooks. She has mellowed maybe ever so slightly, but in color she matches my Angel of Dream Normal Pink resin, from about 2013. So I think it may be safe to say she's not that old, after all, compared to what I was thinking, but instead around 9-12 years old. @kagami your Hoo is lovely! These old sculpts give me all the nostalgia feels.
My friend passed me her DOC Wi recently and I gave him a new face! I'm really starting to like him a lot! by kagami, on Flickr I wish there were more DoCs around here....
Wow! It's been a while since a post was made in this thread. I got my Leya second-hand many years ago and I always struggled with the fact that she's in the mature body. But now my mind has stopped looking at her as a little girl and accepted her body. So, that's my excuse to share a photo with you (By the way, if anyone knows how to make visible instagram photos, I'd appreciate your help )
Just popping by to give you all the Dream of Doll Archive Dropbox link! I saved everything I could before the website disappeared originally, and I've spent a few months digging through the wayback machine saving as much as I could from the original DOD website (so 2004-2009)! There's quite a lot of DOC stuff added, including pictures I'd never seen and very early limiteds I really miss DOD so this is my little way of keeping them around (I say like I don't have several of their dolls in my home...)
Thank you so much for this, @Shido! I have wanted to look at their MSD outfits again so many times for inspiration.
@~A*K~ Your Daniel is so cute! It's nice to see some DOC around again Meanwhile, I don't have many good shot of my Aeafrhod to share. Here's his most recent pic. took on valentine's day
Hi all, For those who is looking for a body for your DoC boy head, here is my Too on True Love body in ns pink DoC Too hybrid by daissy27, sur Flickr
Your welcome. The neck is slightly bigger than DoC neck hole but it's hardly remarkable and it makes the head movement easy. Personally I like it.
Hi everyone! I just got the DoC Twins second hand and was wondering if there was any way to more or less determine age. They have the resin hooks on their feet, and their hands are tied instead of having metal s-hooks. So pretty sure they are from before DoD switched to metal s-hooks on DoC, but I have no idea of when that was. They are so old, they don't even have headcap magnets :')
Oh, congrats! Hm, the best I can guess is pre-2010. My DoC Si was made in 2010 and has s-hooks and magnets. Hopefully someone else can narrow it down further for you
