Dearmine waiting room v.2

Apr 1, 2013

    1. Yes! You can order him in white too so it looks more like the Nocturne Eclipse in my pfp, if you wanted. ^^
       
    2. Hello. Back again and ordered two Lupys on a two month term layaway. One happy, one anxious. Think of the possibilities with these two guys along with the other five Beans I have lol.

    3. Well, welcome back! During the constant checking for my Nocturne ordering status I came across that super cute Picasso cartoon and now I think I must get at least one little animal from dear bean. It seems that Lupin the bat is coming back soon so I am considering inviting him as my first little resident.
      By the way, do you have any group photos of your five little cuties? I mean, don't feel pressured to take photos because I asked for it. However, if you already have some please show me! I really want to see more bean photos!
       
    4. Hello all! I'm joining with a cute little Picasso on a short layaway from DDE in stock :) will try to pay it off quick cause I want him home XD
      eidt: Paid off in full and he should be here tomorrow!

    5. Oh goodness..sorry for not replying..but here they are in the middle! (Mixed in with other company dolls though...)

      [​IMG]

      On that note, I'm here again. This time I ordered myself a Vivien. I missed her back in 2019, so not going to miss her this time!
       
      • x 4
    6. I love your outfits! The Lupy dress in particular, with the adorable hat. :3
       
    7. Such a lovely crew! They look as vibrant and sweet as a box of macarons! Also I have been eyeing those DV dragons for a while but the price is a bit too high for me. And you have four!
      Dearmine's summer event is such a tease to my wallet, luckily(or unfortunately) I've spent all my budget on a 70cm boy so no, not this time. Still Vivien looks sooooo hot in cacao skin, hope she will reach your place soon!
       
    8. My milk tea Lupy has shipped! So exciting!

    9. Hi all~ I've ordered two blank Picasso beans last month on 7/20 directly from DearMine. I wonder if I can hope for them before the end of the year, ha.
       
      • x 1
    10. They have very reasonable wait times, so you probably will. :3
       
      • x 1
    11. Good to hear! :) I'll be sure to post as soon as I get any updates~
       
      • x 1
    12. Aahhh is anyone else in love with Arthur?? :love I might have to break my only one doll at a time rule, I just love his whole look! Going to think on it until he’s released, but I will probably be joining the ranks here again haha. I think he’d be so cute with my Vivien :)
       
      • x 1
    13. I love his color scheme and outfit! Those red and gold accents really pop.
       
      • x 1
    14. As predicted I fell for Arthur’s charms and rejoin this waiting room :XD: I just love his whole look to bits! Except the wig, I ordered a different wig for him. Surprised at how much shipping has gone up in the last two years though!
       
      • x 2
    15. Just ordered Arthur as well ! :D (And also a different wig for him, haha.)

      This will be my second doll, and first time waiting... wish me luck and patience.

    16. My cocoa Vivien is on her way, as of yesterday. Exciting! :D
       
      • x 1
    17. Oh, I forgot to update here! So last week! Well...I never got any updates, but I did see that Dear Mine released a new Bean body. I contacted Dear Mine about upgrading, and they told me to wait a bit...next thing I knew, a month had passed and I get a missed delivery notice at my door (and then USPS lost my package for a week, but that's another headache)! Ah well, I didn't really expect them to be able to upgrade me, but I'm still a bit disappointed my beans can't stand! Even though they are so darn cute!! :love
       
      • x 1
    18. I also forgot to update! Got both Lupys back in August and Vivien just a few weeks ago, but I'll still be here because I ordered a Picasso on the new body in canaria skin. I'm curious about the new Beans body because they claim it's more stable and can apparently stand by itself, so I will see.

      Yes, they don't stand by themselves, big heads lol. If you can find some Obitsu shoes that fit, they can stand a bit better, but I just use 12 cm doll stands for them.
       
      • x 2
    19. What has the wait time been like for everyone who's gotten a doll recently? I've been trying to make some guesstimates from going back through this thread, but it also probably varies depending on what's being ordered (fullset vs blank etc).
       
    20. The wait times have been a bit longer lately. I ordered my Vivien June 16th and they shipped out October 19th. My DM Lupy x 2 I ordered April 28th shipped on August 10th...so 3 - 4 months around?
       
      • x 1
    21. My two blank beans just took exactly three months from order to doorstep, 7/20-10/20, not counting some post office shenanigans! :3nodding:

      Oh, can't wait to see how your Picasso fares with the new body!

      Ah, I've have some Nendoroid Dolls found some little boots that fit nicely! Their shoes and stands use magnets so I'm seeing what I can do with with those, too:

    22. Thank you both !
      3-4 months is about what I figured so that's pretty god; I'm assuming I'll be at the long end of that with a fullset. Fingers crossed for January :dance

    23. My Arthur shipped!! :D And is actually in Chicago customs right now, aaahh!! I didn't get a shipping notice, I just happened to go check on my order. I'm so excited - should get here really soon if everything goes well at customs :dance
       
      • x 1
    24. Oooh! My husband says the post office just dropped off a Dearmine box, but I didn't get a notice either! I can't wait to get home!! That was way faster than my Vivian was, at least it feels like it to me. Arthur is going to be a companion for my Vivien. :D
       
      • x 1
    25. Arthur is here!!! I'll make a box opening thread later today.

      I ordered September 21st from Dearmine directly, they shipped on December 2nd, and it got to me on December 10th. So ~2.5 months of waiting, not bad at all!
       
    26. Put in an order for a bean yesterday!:D
      It will be my first bean. I’m so excited!
      I said no more anthro babies but I just can’t resist their cute lil faces!:doh:aheartbea:aheartbea

    27. Beans are like potato chips, just warning you. :XD:
       
    28. Shhh, don’t say that…my wallet could hear you:lol:

    29. Placed an order today for Silk Bat Lupin :3nodding:
       
      • x 2
    30. Ahhhhh my Tiger Dune has arrived! The wait was a bit longer than usual but not unexpected due to having a complicated face up. I didn't get a shipping notification so the first I knew about it was getting a custom fee notification. :sweat
      I've only had time to open it and check everything was ok. The face up is great, i'm very happy with it. Hopefully I can get a bit of time to have a proper play and dress him up ;)
       
      • x 2
    31. Aaahh, congrats! He's such a stunning doll! I was soooo tempted :XD:
       
    32. Thanks! I'm not surprised that you were tempted, he is a cutie! But the problem with him being only available as a full set is that it bumped up the price quite a bit. I debated buying him for a while due to that but glad I did buy him in the end as he does have quite a fun face up. I hope Dearmine continue to be creative with thier face up as it does give thier older sculpts a new lease of life :3nodding:
       
    33. Ohh, they're making a Bean tiger Picasso.... ugh. Dangerous!
       
    34. Does anyone know how to check tracking on their orders? The order info on DearMine's website is so vague, it just says complete so I assume it's been shipped, maybe?

      EDIT: NVM figured it out lmao. Bat incoming soon-ish.
       
    35. Wow! Lupin came very soon after my last post. Here it is! Also, any recommendations for stands? :sweat

    36. Well...I bought Magical Lucy in stock at Dolk and figured I wouldn't need to join the waiting room...however, she's been stuck in transit for two weeks at the destination airport so I felt compelled to vent a little. The local community tells me I don't have to worry quite yet, and I did expect a small delay, but...with something as expensive as this I can't help but worry a little.
      On the other hand, my dealings with Dolk went fairly smoothly. Not sure I trust them to solve shipping troubles though, should it come to that.

    37. just placed an order for my first bjd ever at denver doll emporium for lorenz! super stoked \o/

    38. Just ordered a Benjamin ~Étoile~ from the Dearmine site. First time ordering from them and didn't receive a confirmation email. (Already checked spam folder.) The order seems to have successfully gone through though.

      This will be my second Benjamin as I already have a Dearmine x Dolk JP Benjamin Snow Crystal that I got second-hand from Mandarake a while back. I just really love Benjamin! And the fact that he shares a name with one of my beloved childhood pets is a bonus! :lol:
       
      • x 1
    39. I didn't receive a confirmation email either when I ordered through their site (in 2021), but they did respond pretty quickly when I emailed to make sure it went through since the order status page had a weird error.

      What a cutie, hope he arrives soon!
       
      • x 1
    40. I love Benjamin too, he's the only human Dearmine doll I own. I have the raindrop version. He has such a sweet face!
       
    41. I ordered an adorable Q in pure white skin a little bit ago. These little beans sure accumulate quickly!
       
      • x 1
    42. I got the milktea Q; we should compare pics when they come in. :3
       
      • x 1
    43. We should! I wanted to get milk tea skin but I didn't have good experience with it...it mellowed too quickly...but I guess it didn't help that the doll with the milk tea skin was in room with a lot of natural lighting...
       
      • x 1
    44. I have two older milktea Beans, I'll compare them all when Q comes in to see how they've been holding up. My two are too close in age to look that different to me, but maybe they've changed over time.
       
      • x 1
    45. I'm back...I know it's been only a few days but DM released a Valentine's collab with their Chopin bean and I ordered him on layaway!
       
    46. Chopin was the last Bean on my bucket list so I broke my New Year's resolution of no more dolls and got one as well. :whee:

      Chopin and Q will mean I'll finally have one of every Bean species that I've wanted for years.
       
    47. I'm similarly tempted to get Chopin, something about his expression is so adorably regal and magical. And gosh, do I have a sore spot for dragons...
       
      • x 1
    48. Q arrived the other day; she so cute! Another Bean off my bucket list. :3
      Here she is next to my 2021 Lincoln, who was also 'Milk Tea' resin. Though looking at the original store photos for her, she always seemed more yellow than this Q?
      Are Dearmine's Milk Tea batches just not consistent?

      ...I'll guess I'll find out in a few years how Q's color holds up. :sweat

    49. @RinSetsua My Q came! So I'm here to compare pics, haha...

      She's super adorable. I need to give her better eyes...but as you mention, maybe DM's resin isn't consistent? Even with pure white resin, my DM Dante isn't as eggshell white as my Q and as my Oskar and Vivan which are from 2023. Not sure if Dante is just starting to mellow, but he and Oskar came within a month of each other.

    50. Edit: Hahaha! False alarm! I thought I had a package coming in from Dearmine as I got a message from the post office about an incoming EMS package from Korea and the EMS Korea site said the sender's name had a 'D' and an 'M', but it turned out to be DollPamm! :lol:

      Both my DollPamm and Dearmine orders are still on 'before shipping' though on their respective sites.

    51. And my Benjamin has finally really shipped! So the wait was just a little more than 3 months for me.

      No shipping notice, but got a message from the post office and my order status on Dearmine's site is 'In transit'. The EMS number on the site also matches the one in the post office message.

    52. I think my Chopin should be shipped next month sometime, going by Dearmine's usual turnaround time. He'll be my last Bean for the foreseeable future, so I'm really looking forward to him. :3
       
      • x 1
    53. My fullset Benjamin has arrived! And Dearmine gave me the shoes, that are a paid option, for free!
       
      • x 3
    54. Dearmine doesn't mess around. All three of my pending orders have arrived today, two of them I ordered just on April 15, 2024, so just a two month wait! The special Chopin took just under four months.

    55. Every time I order from Dearmine they're so fast. Every other company is such a long wait but dearmine spoils us and I love them for it.

    56. Dearmine is super consistent, both in quality and service. I really love them.
       
    57. I just ordered a Danna fullset!

    58. I just ordered their newest sculpt Cloud in a full set! i didn't order any extra painting since if I want blushing, I'll do it myself. I'll most likely order one of the Vivien heads, but need more money first lol.
       
      • x 1
    59. My Cloud is set to be delivered tomorrow and I am just like gimmegimmegimmegimme
       
    60. Hello everyone!
      I ordered a blank Dearshine Arthur head back in late December 2024. Judging by the rest of the comments here he should have been here by now. Should I be worried, or am I just being paranoid?
