Minimee Discussion

DIM Minimee heads were done by a group order of 20 people and the heads were $120-$150 depending on open eyes or sleep eyes. Example Cloud open eye heads of 20 were unpainted, came in a small box, NO COA. Once the molds for open eye heads were done NO more were made, Sleep eyed version had the same limit of 20 heads and came in NS or WS. You had to find very good photos of the character from all angles and when the clay mold was done a picture was sent for approval to be cast in resin. For 2 custom heads for a 1 person order was expensive, price for that was $400 I think, some members wanted just for themselves and not to be shared with anyone. Search for MiniMee and you will find characters from Anime to Real Life. I only have 1 MiniMee and he ain't going no where.

 

Oh! Thank you so much for all the info! I feel very luck I've found him!!

@serenityslr Neytiri is so beautiful!

 

I was thinking that it would be awesome to have a Kim Hyun Joong minimee. Is there a place here on DOA where people post about minimee order/group order, to see if other people would want one too? Because to order only one would be expensive, right? Thank you!

 

@Jordana those should all be in this area https://denofangels.com/forums/custom-manufacturing.108/

 

Thank you very much!!!!!!

 

Oooh! Thank you!

 

What an amazing mnms of Avatars! Will wait for face-up, very interesting to see final image.

 

This is not an active thread so not sure anyone will check this to help me identify a head but worth a try:

Anyone know what head...TY

 

he looks kind of like Sean Connery from his James Bond days. But I don't know if there was a go for that or not.

Nope, the mustache shouldn't be there for that.

My next though t is Ret Butler from Gone With the Wind.

 

I don't think there were Minimees made for either Rhet or Sean...
It does look like one of DiM's minimees. Can you take a few more pictures? The side and the interior would be helpful. We'll at least be able to tell if it is one by DiM.

 

Here we go with a larger photo - 3 views. I think this is an older head - I have had it for awhile and purchased off DoA a long time ago. The head has yellowed and looking at these photos - think I need to clean him up a bit. He has spent too long in the box.

Thanks to all who help me with this identity problem.

 

Okay, it's definitely a DiM minimee; I can tell from the inside.
He really looks like Rhet Butler.
I'm assuming the '2010' mark was left by the face-up artist, since DiM never put dates inside the minimee heads. (The '38' could be a mark left by DiM; not unusual.) So we can assume the head is from 2010 or earlier. I'd go looking for a 2009/2010 minimee group order with DiM.

 

My gosh ikke777 - Thank you! I appreciate all this help. Jo

 

Another vote for Clark Gable. You could also try contacting the artist whose name is inside the head (PamSD) to see if she remembers. She's a member here and at Zone of Zen.

 

I just started a conversation with her. Thank you alewife - why did I not think of that??? Jo

 

PamSD wrote me back and this sculpt was Dr Strange and she thought it was from the Jeremy Northam sculpt. Someone removed some of her face-up on him (that is why he looks a bit dirty... and she said he makes a great Tom Selleck too.
Now I don't think I can sell him with the face-up messed about? I looked at him as Pam's Sam Elliot and thought he looked a bit like Burt Reynolds. Many faces to this sculpt.
OOAK Jeremy Northam as Sam Elliot hand painted Doll in Mind DIM minimee head

 

It's still a nice faceup though, even if it was changed.
