1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Soom Super Gem Dia

    1. It's been awfully quiet in this thread, lets bring some life to it! :D

      Two random pictures of Monclova and his little sister. I wanted to make a photoshoot with Bonsai and Monclova together and I did in the end, but these two pictures didn't fit in, so I'll post them here then. :D
      I recently posted two new shoots of Monclova in the gallery too.

      * You can fear the devil's eyes with just Monclova.
      * She's back in the atmosphere with his sister Bonsai.

      Feel free to comment! ^^

      And show me more Dia's here! :D
       
    2. It won't be quiet once I've got my girl, I'll spam her silly ;) ..but until then it seems a long way off. :(
       
    3. Just a quick question about Dia head caps. Is it on a magnet, or twist on?
       
    4. its magnetic!
       
    5. TiggTea, I love your photos. Beautifully done.
       
    6. I have a request for the Dia-Tribe. If anyone has used a size 12 mm or even 10 mm eye in their Dia, could you show me a photo?
      My Bijou has only size 14 mm and I'm thinking they are just larger than I really like.

      It seems to me that the iris should be smaller for a more realistic look.
      My problem is that I don't know if I should try 12 or 10!
      :doh
       
    7. Thanks botflybaby! That's getting glued on once I make sure her eyes are right then. ;)
       
    8. TiggTea, thanks for posting those wonderful, atmospheric pictures. Those photos are amazing and they are the best example I have seen on DOA on how someone can change the look of their BJD from what is presented in promo photos. When I first saw Dia's promo pics I wasn't really taken with the sculpt. However, your pictures are incredible. I am a convert to the tribe of Dia lovers. I need to look through this whole thread to see other people's photos as well.
       
    9. Flamingomoon: My Dia wears Ginarolo 12mm small irises. I'll get a pic up when I finish this essay I'm (supposedly) working on. >_>
       
    10. Thanks, chizzie_shark ... get to work on that essay!
       
    11. I have another question about Dia. The painted nails, does that come as default or do you have to request that you want/don't want it?
       
    12. I think the nails come unpainted.
       
    13. Great, thanks!
       
    14. ive never had any problems with the headcap coming off, so i wouldnt consider glueing it necessary, but then again, i like fiddling with the eyes of my dolls alot xD


      heres some random shots of my dia boy :3

    15. Wow he's gorgeous!
      I'm keeping my Dia a girl. Both my other dolls with magnets I have glued with rubber glue so I can get it off if I need to. I normally leave the eyes once I have the ones in I want. One of my magnets fell out and one made the face plate slip off onto bathroom tiles. I'm not very confident in them.

      I'm still in two minds about body blushing, does anyone have blushing on their girls?
      My male is blushed and looks amazing but the girls bodies don't seem to have as much detail on them. Any body shots available?
       
    16. Oh, Chizzie_shark, I'm holding my breath waiting to see those eyes!*_*
      Turning blue .... :nowords:
       
    17. Dia is one of the western looking dolls that have true beauty along with Volks SD 16 Amelia, Garnet and Ruby. I have always love the western looking characters and Dia both standard and rose queen versions aremvery impressive.
       
    18. I think I've decided on a new pair of eyes for Bijou. Taking a deep breath and hoping I'll like both the color and the size.
      Wish me luck. I'll post a photo when they arrive!
       
    19. I love her, but I think she looks a little masculine with natural make up and prefer rose queen face up. Just goes to show what a difference can be made with make up. Also, loving the teeth! :)
       
    20. Best wishes on finding the perfect eyes for Bijou! Hope you are doing great!
