Dust of Dolls Appi discussion part 2

Yes! I hope, there will be more next year but I am not very optimistic

 

Thank you. I was hopeful there would be another this year but that hope is diminishing. I really hope we see more preorders in the New Year, I love their dolls.

 

Still hoping for a Holiday/New Years release...so worried they will take a break from making dolls...and not return

 

My fear exactly! But today they posted on insta that there might be another upcoming preorder in the future. Hope dies last! Jan 4th again would be so nice

 

Appi Nëze preorder starts September 24th!

 

They may finally have me with this Nëze preorder... she is too cute for words, and in the peche I may actually be able to afford it! Does anyone have some good posing pictures of the body to share?

 

I don't do a lot of special poses with these dolls, since their main draw for me is their cute roundness and the cute ears! But...I do love photos! So here's mine, and hoping others share theirs.





(And here's a photo of their legs too)


They are wired though-- through the hips in an upside down "u" shape and down to almost their ankles. Makes it much faster for me to stand them.

 

Wiring is a good idea... I need to wire so many of my dolls, honestly. (I did order the Neze, very exciting!)

 

Dear all
Can someone suggest me where to purchase clothe pattern for Appi Neze? I would love to see for her before her arrival.
Thank you

 

Etsy used to be good, not so much these days ;A;
What sort of clothing are you looking for?

 

Hello Vakarian, I’m looking for any cloth patterns. I would like to sew something for her. Moreover I’d like to buy some knitted sweaters, I can sew but not knit.
I think my Peche Neze will be inspired by a forest Japanese spirit, so, dresses, overalls, shirts…
I have many Blythe size clothes for my 1/6 but I’m afraid they will be too tight for the adorable more curvy Neze body.

 

So precious! I love how you've styled them too - it's a great look I might have to wire mine too - they're all in need of a good restringing as well.

Here's Aphelion in the meantime!

She's gorgeous!! I love your color scheme too!!

 

Bless this thread and its wisdom. Also the long time members. I just adopted my first appi and was instantly befuddled by her need to be in permanent "pill bug" pose. As I am not new to doll maintenance or modification I was still surprised that she was so kicky. Although I love her she was having none of my "suggestions" for standing. However I think some msc suede and wire should solve the issue as well as a fresh set of strings.

 

Hope so, best of luck! Which sculpt did you bring home?

 

Hi Sims!

Yeah, DoD sculpts are beautiful and some of my favorite but oh man I do not understand what they do in the promo photos to make them pose so well ahaha. My original (old body) Meel was the only one to ever pose well out of the box and she was made for LDoll so there might have even been something special done that I didn't know about.

I did finally slap a wig on my other DoD Meel2 but it's not designed for her so it's uh..... not staying on well lol. I got some great advice on my IG story about it though so I'm gonna give some of those things a shot.

 

An Appi Korë!
I took her apart and gave her a full scrub. Changed her elastics out and poof, She stands! No wires needed I may kip her thighs to keep them from rolling but she's settling well.

Please ignore the mess.
