DreamOfDoll (Dream Of Children) Discussion (DoC) Part 3

Are you wanting a DoC body for your Yen or are going to make them a hybrid?

 

I am considering other bodies for him. If I could get an undamaged (or only minor damage) body that was about 10 years old I'd put him back on Dream of Doll, since I got him new August of 2005. At this point I am thinking probably a hybrid will work best. I'd like to put him on a white skin active line muscular Minifee body, but I think that young face would look a little bit silly.

I had him on a Dollmore boy body but it made him too tall and skinny for my tastes.

 

Hmm, I would go with a Luts body if they color match-- they have younger looking bodies.

 

I am not aware of Luts doing color matching, and even 10 years old mellowed DOD resin is not a great match to current real skin resin. I do have an NS Kid Delf 3 body incoming for another head, and I can see if it's a viable match (aside from coloring) but if I remember correctly I tried my DOC head on my Ttori's body and the fit wasn't great.

For what it's worth I ended up getting a White Skin Bluefairy Tiny Fairy body, and it works for the character. The neck looks a little bit long, but it's nowhere near as bad a match as his previous body was. Ro needs a faceup but I'll post a photo of the hybrid once he's together again.

 

Question for everyone! I have a friend selling a pair of TTYA jeans and I am interested in them. I think they are slim though. I've heard that slim clothing doesn't normally fit DODs.... I have a DOC Kirill. Any thoughts?

 

I have a pair of ttya pants. They are on my mnf boy, I doubt they would fit my doc boy but I'll give it a shot for ya...

Well! Butter my butt and call me a biscuit. They fit!



Very tight on the hips, I can't get his thumb in the pocket. But they fit snuggly and he can even sit fine with them. I'd say go for it!

 

Been ages since I've posted in the DOC thread(s) but I thought I'd drop by and share of a photo of my Elf Petsha, Lenneth:

Ferdinand is not Lenneth's horse (I bought him for the BJD I hope to order this summer), but earlier today she couldn't resist riding him. I really love DOCs; I rarely see them anymore, though. Someday I would still love to adopt a Zen.

 

I had doll gathering last night and bring my little DOC Petsha, Chiyo with me together.

She looks different with new faceup by myself

[MENTION=42740]PeppermintPocky[/MENTION] I love your shot of Lenneth and Ferdinand. I feel that I don't see many DOC's anymore, either. They were my first loves in the BJD world.
[MENTION=64878]mikobabe89[/MENTION] Chiyo looks very sweet!

Has Dream of Doll ever discontinued a sculpt? Looking at the website, it seems they have the same sculpts, plus new ones, as they did when I entered the hobby in 2004. The other remarkable thing is that the prices look just the same, too.

I have a Twing-key head on a Normal Pink Angel of Dream body. The head was purchased secondhand and was yellowed, but a commissioned face-up lightened the yellowing considerably. The head and body match well.

 

[MENTION=64878]mikobabe89[/MENTION] Your Petsha is so cute! I love her big eyes.

Thank you, [MENTION=639]ophelia[/MENTION]. I agree with your sentiments about the lack of DOCs these days. My Petsha was the first BJD sculpt I fell for and without her who knows if I would've ever entered the hobby (a sad, sad thought for me... but not my wallet).

I'm pretty sure most DOCs are still around. There were a few LEs that I don't think you can buy anymore (Lapin, Chat, etc.) and I know you can't buy Mint&Daisy as a pair anymore, only separately. I think Wu (Woo?) may be sold out, too.

Do you have a photo of your Twing-key? I'd love to see her. She's one of my favorite DOC sculpts.

 

[MENTION=639]ophelia[/MENTION]

Thank you ! She's so happy to hear that.

[MENTION=42740]PeppermintPocky[/MENTION]

Thank you ! she's wearing 16mm Mako eyes. I got her set with green eyes (they give randomly) and I prefer her to have blue eyes !


I was having shame time when I don't play with her anymore, since she's the smallest crew. I'm more happy to bring around SD. However, since I changed her faceup, I see potential in her. She looks rather the way I wanted her from
default faceup. She is my first dollie too.

It's hard you know, when you have bigger size doll, the smaller crew feel not getting use anymore. However, I will keep her forever for sentimental value. She is my first character.

 

@PeppermintPocky Thanks for the information. I have been checking the site off and on for years in order to reassure myself that my favorite sculpts are still available if I choose to purchase them some day.

Here are some pictures of my Twing-key, named Hero, that I took recently, in her vintage dress, black mohair wig and 16 mm glass brown eyes. Besides Tender Bee-a (my original dolls were Tender Too and Tender Bee-a) she was my favorite sculpt. I always thought her sales pictures, bio and name were so sweet.




@mikobabe89 I know how you feel! I spend most time and money on 70 cm dolls now. But these 45 cm dolls hold a special place in my heart, since they were first.

 

As much as I love DOD I'm not a big fan of their bodies... I recently hybrid my original Yu on to a DZ body and I'm loving it. Every time I wipe his face I'm reminded how much I love Yu's sculpt, so I'm thinking about buying another Yu head and some outfits(I totally forgot they sold outfits! Wow!). Since my Yu is really old and yellowed I've decided to paint him white, but I do love him in pink skin too so I think another Yu is in order! So here's a shot of how my little Orion is currently. Still not matching perfectly with the DZ white skin but getting there. He just looks great with or without faceup.... Sigh... My first love haha

[MENTION=50874]Vividstar[/MENTION] A faceup could make the resin color differences less apparent. I know it worked wonders when I tried to match my DOC's head to a AOD Normal Pink body.

 

[MENTION=639]ophelia[/MENTION] Your Hero is so adorable! Thank you for sharing. And I def' agree about wanting more DOCs sculpts; someday I'd love to own a DOC Zen. I've loved him ever since I first saw [MENTION=1637]yumi~[/MENTION] 's sweet Kyoshi.

 

[MENTION=42740]PeppermintPocky[/MENTION] thank you very much! [MENTION=1637]yumi~[/MENTION]'s Zen is lovely. DOC's give me the feeling I first had when entering the hobby, that dolls are to be cherished, loved and spoiled. I considered them less as material objects.

 

Can I request some Si spam? Actually, any DOC spam would make me happy. Lately I've been thinking of getting my sweet Lenneth a sibling sooner than planned and I'm trying to narrow down my sculpt choices.

Also saw an adorable Twin-B boy in the box opening section and have been swooning over his photos since then.

 

This is my DOC Zen! It's his 6th year with me (he came in March 2009).
There used to be so many DOCs around, I don't know where they are all gone

 

Hello there, hi cutie !

I feel you sobbies, I less paying attention on my DOC ..

 

Oh God ! You've a pretty boy there
