Do Dolls Dream Marionette Line

Well hello there, dear! As you already know, I'm a happy owner of Aurelia in caramel forest resin and Lullaby Margaret in pale rose.
I'm absolutely smitten by these dolls and I am also very scared for any more releases, since I'm most likely getting them, too. XD

 

Hello!
A new preorder with beautiful dolls will start soon. I'm considering buying Charlotte.
You can check out the details here: Pre-order Miss Marionettes 2023 - Do Dolls Dream
The dolls pose wonderfully!
Are you going to order one too?

 

I'm not an owner of this type of BJD, but they're very cute. Do you have any idea on what you'll do with them clothes wise? If you do, could you possibly post pictures? I really love their look.

 

Cool! Be sure to let me know later which doll you finally decided on.

If I have a doll in my hands, I will definitely take pictures of it and share the effects of the session on DOA. I plan to style it differently than their creator. I have a general idea in my head of what I want her to look like, but it will crystallize later.

 

I'd love to order one too! However, I'm torn between the sculpts as they all have a different kind of uniqueness to them.

 

These dolls are absolutely stunning. I have a couple of the teacups and I just jumped on the preorder for both Margaret and Charlotta. I cannot recommend Dodollsdream enough!

 

Maybe you would like to have Aurelia. She is a very special sculpt and she looks just beautiful with makeup!

Congratulation!

 

I just placed an order for Aurelia in Eternal Lavender! I love fantasy colors!

 

I ended up ordering Aurelia and Leona as my first Do Dolls Dream dolls, can't wait to see them in real life

 

I love the (Classic) Marionette line!

 

Lovely dolls.

 

I ordered a Charlotta and can't wait to get her. She will be a Mori girl. I love Leona as well but two girls are too pricey for me.

 

I received my Leona today!

Wooow, she's gorgeous. These are not good photos (sorry, late night photography) but I'll take more soon. The body is stunning - I looove the neck joint so much (I wish all dolls had one) and the shoulders are really cool, too.

I've owned a few other DoDollsDream sculpts in the past and as usual, the sculpting is spectacular, every tiny detail of the fingertips, etc. (those cute little feet!) is perfect. She's in Caramel Forest resin, and the resin itself is so soft and smooth.

I have no idea what faceup, wig, or eyes she needs. I almost don't want a faceup, she's so pretty like this X)

In the second photo she's sitting with my Maskcatdoll Juni. They look good together proportionally (even though Juni's face is a little more "doll-like").

Leona2

I hope she can stick around! My "bonding" with dolls is weird - I can absolutely love how they look but they still don't feel right to keep, so I'm hoping Leona will fit in. I'll be patient in trying to figure her out!

 

Isn't this a thread for the Marionette line, not the Miss Marionette line? I'm confused.

 

Are there any arrived Miss Marionettes yet?

 

@StellaMarigold She is beautiful!

 

She’s gorgeous!! I’m looking forward to the next preorder opening in May so that I can jump on and grab one of these gorgeous girls for myself. I’m torn between Carlotta and Margaret—thank goodness they let you buy an extra head, that’s going to be so necessary in my case!!

 

I know someone on Ig received theirs here: and I believe most of the other dolls from that preorder have shipped out as well!

 

These dolls are simply gorgeous! I'm a huge fan of the combination of regular and translucent resin coming up in the newest preorder - the second variant looks like they're wearing long gloves and lovely stockings! It's so cute. I also really like the Songbird Garden resin... I can't decide which sculpt is my favorite though! I like all the versions of Charlotta and Lullaby Ao a lot, as well as Aurelia. Anyone have any plans to order when it launches?

 

I keep going back and forth on the resin colour, but I’m getting a charlotta in either pale rose or caramel forest! Planning on having her be the rare doll I order with a faceup, because you can’t argue with how gorgeous Paulianne’s results are

 

I ended up selling the doll I showed above - I liked her a lot, but I listed the extra head I had for sale and then that became selling the full doll. At the time I felt it was best as she was a bit heavy for me.

Still, I admit that I am very tempted to purchase another one in this preorder (Lullaby Ao is especially lovely). However, I do have upcoming dental bills to consider and I'm also hoping to take part in another artist's preorder later in the year. I expect there will be another Miss Marionette preorder next year if I don't make it for this one.

Also...what I really hope for is a new 1/4-size series with similar joints - Miss Marionette's shoulder and neck joints are fantastic - I wish every doll had them! So I might just wait this time and cross my fingers that DoDollsDream will make something amazing like that in the future.

@limesparrow - Songbird Garden resin is so beautiful and unusual! And I completely agree about the "gloves and stockings" effect of the translucent resin parts. It's so charming!

@Chameleon - Choosing a resin color is tough! They're all appealing! And the resin itself is amazing - so smooth and soft, almost velvety to the touch. Good luck with making a decision!

 

Thank you so much! I’m glad to hear they live up to how good they look in pictures!!

 

They definitely do! I've ordered from DoDollsDream a couple of times now and I've never been disappointed by the quality. The level of care put into every detail of the doll and even the packaging is very impressive.

The only thing I will say in regard to the Miss Marionette body is that the elastic is quite thick and the neck hole is pretty large. This works beautifully with DoDollsDream heads, but if you want to hybrid another artist's heads it might need some modding of the head or a re-knotting of the elastic. I tried to put one of my Maskcatdoll heads (which are a little bit larger than the DoDollsDream heads) on the body just for fun and I couldn't get the S-hook and knot through. So that's just something to consider if you are thinking of body-sharing. I know not everyone does, but I like a minimal collection where bodies can share, so it's something I think about X)

 

Ohhh, I think that will be so lovely, whichever you pick! Caramel Forest + a face-up would definitely be in my wheelhouse. The pre-styled Charlotta in the promo images is so gorgeous she almost sold me on the sculpt then and there, being honest with you!

@StellaMarigold - 1/4 size dolls in this style would be amazing! I've never owned a 55 cm doll (or even held one!) but I can imagine they would be quite hefty. There's something fun about the concept of having a really sizable doll, though. I hope to add one to my collection one day! Thank you very much for your intel as well, it's very useful stuff to know.

If I could I would order two dolls - one with the translucent resin (very partial to the stockings look!) and one in Songbird Garden. Alas, I cannot! I'll have to hold off for now, but I'm very excited to see what comes of this preorder.

 

I plan on ordering elf lullaby Charlotta but I can't decide between woodland echo or angelic pink. At first I really wanted the transparent resin and now I'm not sure.

I don't usually get dolls like this but I just love everything about these dolls.

 

@limesparrow - I never thought I'd own a doll over 45cm myself, but you're right, there is something really fun about the big dolls. I love the higher level of detail possible in their clothes and accessories, and they have a lovely presence.

I do have a 57cm Maskcatdoll (my beautiful Juni) but even though she's taller than the Miss Marionettes (the difference is mostly in her legs) she feels lighter! The resin feels quite different, though. DoDollsDream resin is pretty special.

I hope that if there is another preorder next year you'll have the opportunity to participate then!

@Loganberry - Oh, good luck in choosing! All the colors are so pretty. I'd love to see Woodland Echo in person someday. It is high on my list of favorites.

 

Jumping in that I'm also planning to order a Charlotta in Woodland Echo. I'm not really planning to have her be a specific character, though. I'm planning in her being the fashion model in my collection.

 

Wellll I’ve officially ordered my gal. We went for a Charlotta in Pale Rose in the end. If I had the money, I would’ve loved a Margaret as well, but I’ll hold off for the next preorder haha

 

Congratulations!!! I'm sure she'll be lovely!

That picture with all the styled dolls is amazing. I'm truly so excited to see them, wow!

 

I ordered Charlotta elf in pale rose. I really couldn't decide between pale rose and woodland echo but the pictures of her in pale rose on Instagram tipped me to pick that colour. If I could have afforded 2 I would have bought them.

It's going to feel like a like wait cause I'm beyond excited to bring this girl home!

@Chameleon congrats!! Have you got any plans for her?

 

Yes! Me ne is going to have pink hair and brown eyes and be the daughter of one of the gods in the series I’m writing. I already have her fraternal twin sister (who is a MDR Zuri) and her partner (who is a Twigling ingenue). She’s really the last major character I have left to shell, and I’ve tried 4-5 other dolls but none of them fully worked as her, and I think Charlotta will!

what are your plans for your girl?

 

One of my current favourite doll lines, for sure. I am not currently able to make a purchase, but I am beyond tempted in the future. These girls are so beautifully created. I love the soft colours and the way their bodies are sculpted.

 

Oh wow! That all sounds amazing! Got to say I love mdr Zuri and Twigling Ingenue too, I think Charlotta will look great with them. I hope Charlotta will work for you!

I just have really basic plans for her at the moment. A blonde, sun kissed kinda look. Like I said basic . But hopefully more will come to me. Long term plan is next pre order to order Charlotta normal version in woodland echo. There is no doubt in my mind that I'll love her

 

I could see her absolutely rocking a sun kissed blonde look! I don’t think that’s basic at all if it looks nice! Woodland echo would also be gorgeous on Charlotte. Eventually I plan to order a Margaret, but I have no idea which colour yet!

 

Thanks! Margaret is another awesome sculpt!

Has anyone who has ordered received an order summary with details to pay the deposit? I've only received the congratulations your order is accepted email.

 

Same here! Just the congratulations letter! I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one

 

I just got my order summary this morning, it was a little late, too. Maybe they're running behind?

 

Oh, phew glad it's not just me. Worried I'll miss it and my order will be cancelled but I'm sure I won't .

@ViperOrchid yeah, they probably are. It must be difficult to predict how busy you'll be with something like this.

 

I just got the email to pay, and I sent in my buying form at 10am on Saturday when they opened up orders. It looks like there was just a backlog!

 

I could be wrong, but I think DoDollsDream is a one-person-business and I think her dolls are getting more popular with each preorder, so I bet she has a lot on her plate plus the teacups from last year's preorder are also ready to ship soon.
Anyway, congrats on everyone's orders, I hope I'll be able to get a Miss Marionette in the future, they are so gorgeous. I'm looking forward to lots of owner pictures.

 

I got my order summary today as well and made the first payment!

@Amadiel yes, that all makes perfect sense. I can't imagine all the work that goes on behind the scenes!

 

Still haven't received my order summary, but I'll be patient. I think this pre order was very popular so I'm sure she has so much to do. Whenever it comes I'm ready to throw money down regardless.

I honestly don't remember the last time I was this excited over a doll and I've never been this excited over a girl before. Ever. (I really only collect boys). My adventure with DDD since I discovered her has been so magical. Every time I see her dolls I'm just washed over with pure magic. Very, very excited. I've been watching every video I can find of these dolls. Going to be a very difficult wait!

 

Yessss there’s something deeply magical about these dolls. I’ve barely paid and I’m already excited to see mine! Which girl did you get?

 

I got Lullaby Elf Charlotta in songbird green! I'm a little worried about the green tone as it looks more of a yellow undertone than my other mint dolls (Peakswoods and Fairyland) but I couldn't pass it up. It's so unique and fresh looking. I'm going to make my girl very folky, like inspired by my Paganism. Maypoles, stuff like that. Who did you get?

 

Ohhh I loved the green! If I didn’t have two green dolls already I’d have been tempted into it!

i got a pale rose Charlotta to be a longtime character of mine! She’s going to be very pink-themed.

 

How lovely! Pale rose was very tempting, but I was afraid of how pink it was. I'm honestly tempted to change my order before it's too late haha. Charlotta is gorgeous in the pale rose!

 

Does anyone know what size clothes Miss Marionettes wear? Do they fit Volks well? I only just paid the deposit but I'm already looking at different outfits for her.

 

When I had mine she seemed to fit SD10-13 clothes quite nicely. Longer dresses are a bit longer, of course, because their legs are shorter, but it looks that doesn't hurt their styling (judging by DoDollsDream's gorgeous preorder photos!).

Also I saw someone on Instagram they can fit DD clothes (I think that's a little smaller than SD? I'm not very familiar with Volks' sizes, I'm afraid).

 

just preordered my first DDD doll!!! I decided on Lullaby Charlotta Elf in caramel forest with extra feet/hands! i love her sculpt so much, crazy details!! im excited that i was able to afford her! i did the 6 month layaway because of all of the other layaway i have right now i had to have her tho!​

 

Oh I just got this thought why not order another Charlotta now... I'd get the Human version (original not Lullaby) in either woodland echo or dancing flowers. I can afford another layaway but it feels a bit naughty and splurgey .

I really don't know what to do. I love these dolls so much and having two together just seems to make more sense than having one on its own. I do not have long to figure this out!!

 

Everyone good luck on the pre-orders! I can tell you you won't regret it.
I was both scared about the SD size and the cost of the doll, but now that I have received her, I totally totally adore her
So if people are still in doubt, I would say "Go for it"! haha :P
Here is a little picture of my Aurelia

 

@StellaMarigold Thank you! Yeah I was curious about length since the Marionettes are on the shorter side of SD, but I agree that the longer length can work on them!

I have some Monique outfits I can try when I get her, too.

 

@ViperOrchid - You're welcome! You can see Miss Marionette Margaret in comparison to a Maskcatdoll Ronia (supposed to be about the same size as SD13) here. Most of the difference is in the leg lengths.

I keep going back to DoDollsDream's Instagram and looking at photos of Lullaby Ao. I'm so very tempted, even though I was sort of planning to save for a different doll.

And if I do decide to order, I'm stuck on the color - Caramel Forest again? Or Woodland Echo?

 

Hello hello here !

I've just received the full payement confirmation for my first Do Dolls Dream Miss Marionette. Decided for a Lullaby Leona in Strawberry Mousse skin.

It's been a while I don't order a BJD (since 2019 haha) but when I've discovered the Do Dolls Dream creation... I litteraly fell in love. It's the very first Time I melt for a girl BJD. I have only boys in m'y collection haha.

I speak with the doll maker. She's is really passionate and so adorable. She confess me she thinks about a masculine model and I would love it so much. Maybe next year ?

Can't wait to receive my adorable girl. I've already her name in my head haha.

 

@StellaMarigold Ooh thanks for the comparison! I'm really loving the Miss Marionette body shape.

Her dolls are all just so tempting, Lullaby Ao looks breathtaking. If I had the money I would've gotten a Margaret and Leona, too.
