DIKA Doll discussion

Is there no one else as smitten with Zura as I am?

Now the wait to save all my pennies.

 

I am selling my Ippo to get Zura!! HE is SOOOOOO HOTT!!! I can't wait to see how the body poses!

 

I love Zura but I am also smitten with the vampire!

 

The vampire is also a cutie! I like how his fangs aren't too close together like most dolly vampires.

 

So what does everyone think of the new Dikadoll 70cm boys?

I think that Barrett is insanely pretty. And Adler is, well - kind of craggy and masculine. Not a typical beauty, but that just makes me like him all the more. LOL! His default face-up in the promo pics is nice, but something tells me he'd be truly stunning if one of the artists on DOA worked their magic on him.

 

I think the DKdoll default faceups suit their dolls better than most I see, but I agree about Adler, A DOA artist could really bring him to life!

 

I am going to follow this thread along also. I was thinking of adding Rubber but would wanted a doll with a 70cm body but really like his head . Any suggestions? I would love to hear from someone regarding how well they pose? I saw a box opening posted recently and am hoping for comments.

 

Zura is a total hottie! I'd love to add him to my crew!

Oh why, oh why did I make that New Years Resolution to cut back on dolls this year?!!! (I may have to break my resolution for Zaru! )

Im sorry I missed the Christmas Event sale.

 

i know, right? Not that I had the money anyway. At this rate I'll be able to buy him in 2 years. >.<

 

I am a total newbie, and I thought I would stick to my On-Order Mei --- Until I saw Zura..... He reminds me of Gackt, dollified, actually. But I have no space for a 70 inch doll! Nor the budget!! Waaaaaa!

And now he haunts me. Maybe just the head? Even just on a broomstick?

 

I had to.

~points to sig and runs to broom-closet~

 

LOL! You are too funny!

Congrats on ordering Zura's head! He's so majorly cute! I can hardly wait to see him when you get him, even if it's only his head.

Do you plan to get the Dika body later? Or another body from a different company?

 

hahhaha thank you! Yes, I was thinking maybe he would fit on the Dika 61 cm body just as well, as the neck girth is the same and the 61 doll head size almost identical, but I am so new at this I have no clue... It seemed to make sense to me but I asked the sales person in a pm and she replied it would only fit the 73 cm.

Maybe someone else will have some input on that down the line.
BUT! He is too pretty to live in a broom closet, aye. So now I will scrounge and scrape pennies for a body. I ordered him in Natural Yellow skin. Their body looks nice but holy moly that's a truckload of pennies! Ideally, yes though. The Dika body. One Day!
They say that their natural yellow colour matches Volks Natural but I googled Volks and think their bodies are vinyl? Which seems odd. Maybe I am wrong, what do I know.
......
In retrospect maybe i should stick to a broomstick?

Oh he's pretty though!!!! I will photograph that blank head up one side and down the other. Let me know if you prefer specific settings. I live fairly close to the Bronx Zoo.

 

<< >> ...I'm not a big fan of the DK body...but I'm oh so completely in love with their new Jose sculpt. D: The faceup they gave him really brings the doll to life, and I love how he doesn't have giant eyes, or incredibly wide eyes, like most dolls. T_T I want that head...

 

Do they sell just the head of Jose? and does one yellow tone regular resin match to volks?
I think Jose would make a great girl!

 

My blank Zura head in Yellow Skin arrived today.
There are no words to describe the level of awesome.

I am trying to give him a face up, only my second one ever, I just did Mei, my first ever, yesterday.... So wish me luck. Thank goodness for Acetone?

In any event, if/when I feel it's become decent enough to show to polite company, I'll post pics.

It's a HUGE head! HUGE! Of course I only have the Mei for comparison....

 

Using acetone should be done with caution. Aside from that, I am excited to see your Zura! He is gorgeous!

 

Oh my yes, thank you, and I will be very very careful! So far I've not yet had to use any ~crosses fingers~
Back to painting! so fun!

 

Picture, please?

 

Well, he's drying. And then i still have to wurm those darned eyelashes into those eyeholes. Oh joy!

But, soooon! Please have mercy on my make-upping though. Maybe one day when he gets something better than a broomstick for a body he'll get a new face too

 

Aww! I'm sure he looks good. ^.^ Please share photos of him when you can.

 

Well then drrumroll .......

Does anyone actually have the body? How do they pose? (Any of them, I'm really curious)

Or, does anyone know what the difference is between the supposed "single jointed" and "double-jointed" 61 cm on jeeryama's ebay site? I don't see an option on their official page...

 

Yes, does anyone know how well they pose?

 

Well, they come extremely tightly strung and like to pop into a weird duck-butt pose....
XD;;;
My friend has a doll who currently has a Dikadoll body, and I was playing with him a bit yesterday. His arms pose well enough, but his legs are very snappy-kneed (it is the single joint body) and yes, the torso does this odd stick-out-my-butt-like-a-duck thing. I think looser stringing would help that a lot, though. We will see once she gets a new body for her boy's head (she doesn't like how muscular the arms on the Dika doll body are) and I take the Dikadoll one off her hands and promptly re-string it. LOL

As far as I can tell, the only difference between the single and double-jointed bodies is the knees--the double jointed body had a 'peanut' joint in the knees, but the single jointed body does not, it just has a standard single ball-joint.

 

oh kay. Thanks for that.

 

Have just started a layaway for a grey skin Adler through jeeryama...now the waiting begins

 

Has anyone see pictures from the 1/3 Ruber vampire. He looks so great.

 

I think he's adorable! I can't wait for more people to own Dikadolls. They're so lovely.

 

OMG! He looks great! Congrats on your new boy.

 

Zura is gorgeous. Does anyone know if the dikadoll resin will match and fit on a soom mecha angel body?

 

Want their latest too: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?366639-*DIka-Doll*-Swordsman-Finn

 

ohh the swordsman is so cute! love the kimono!

 

Yes I love the wig too very Han warrior style

 

Thank you for the info.



I'm now interested in the swordsman too. Actually, his sculpt caught my eye as just plain Finn.

 

I'm selling my DZ Floy and possibly another doll to get Dikadoll Zura.....he's lovely....and very tall...I love the tall guys.

 

Zura is gooooooorgeous! I'm waffling right now over what head to put on my Super Gem body. Zura and Ruber are top contenders right now though.

 

Just had a look at Ruber, he's not tall enough for my liking and I don't want a Vampire either so it would have to be Zura for me,Lol.

 

He's definitely a lot shorter than Zura!! XD I have no interest in the vampire version of Ruber. I like the human one best.

 

I have interest in the Rena Doll... but I'm confused about how to get one! ^^; She is just so adorable!

 

Finally bought a Zura head. :3 I've wanted him for awhile now.

I am a little.. nervous, I bought the white head.. it might be too white for my liking. D:

 

I'm also interested in Rena NicoleWagner but am currently chatting to angeldolls here in the UK. I'm confident that she's not in the dim distant future for me . . . .

 

I'm also making plans to get a Rena. (via Wind dolls in France in my case~ ) She's so cute.

 

Well, that's done it! I've just ordered Rena and the jointed hands for her. This should be very interesting indeed . . . Anyone got any hints and tips that I ought to know about DikaDolls?

 

Well, I decided to ask Catas about pricing... since in the US I only have two options in getting Rena. 1. Through Catas, 2. through an official EBay seller. But I think I may end up ordering her this week or next...fingers crossed. She will be my first Official Ball Jointed Doll, since I have only worked on Dollfie and Dollfie Dream dolls which are made of vinyl and plastic. This iwll put a dent in my convention wallet, but the chances of me buying a Volks Doll at Dolpa are nigh impossible. Besides... I love Elves, and Rena is just too beautiful to resist!

 

Mint on Card is in the US i think and also sells them.

Also, 'grats, Medieval~ ^.^

 

Link to Dika Doll sold @ Mint on Card

 

Thank you for the link! She's a bit more money than I thought for the Full Set! I think I will just have to wait to get Rena, now. Could take me a few months before I could buy her! But the wait shall be worth it!

 

My Adler arrived today but his head cap came with broken plugs...I will post pics soon

 

I ordered white too. I really wanted a normal color, but white tends to hybrid better. Have you decided what head he will go on? I'm going to put my head on a spiritdoll body.

 

^ Ooops. Which body, not head.

 

Naw, not yet~ He'll go on my DOI body for now though. :3

I think someone should start up a gallary thread to be added to the Database for sure.

 

I don't have mine yet, but I second this.
