[Dollmore] Dear Doll :D

Citronrouge, thanks for the blank shots. I must have an Apple now, and that face-up you gave yours is awesome.


Would the thread creator mind tweaking the title so that this can be3 the discussion thread for the Dear Doll line in general?

 

Double post, but we have a new pair, Narang!

 

...what's Dollmore doing to me? I already have four of their dolls on my wishlist (DearDoll Bomi and Apple, AlexDoll Alexia, JudithDoll Zinna), and now I want these, too...

 

Oh noooooooo, the Narang twins are so cute... xD

I like them so much I almost feel like they've suddenly become first on my doll-buying priority list ;_; I've even named them already! xD

 

Narang is soo cute, both boy and girl, but, i was wondering how their posing is. I've searched everywhere, but I want find it! haha

 

I really love the Apple doll.. and was thinking of ordering one, however I'm not sure what the body blushing/sanding looks like or the custom makeup...does anyone know what custom makeup is as opposed to default makeup?
Is it like latii where you can choose from pictures of lips, brows, blush etc? or is it something else?
Does anyone here have any pictures of their Dear dolls with any of those chosen options?

 

Actually, DollMore custom make-up is done to your own personal specifics. It's basically whatever you want it. Most people send in drawings or photoshop edits, but they can also design it based on a detailed description.

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone has a Dear Doll with a DollMore custom face-up just yet. (I think that there are still just too few of them around!)


As for posing, DollMore actually did a photo shoot with Bomi showing off what kind of poses they can do (and it's impressive!) http://www.dollmore.net/shop/step1.php?number=8442 Just scroll to the second set of photos to see!

 

Thanks for that, wow, they pose really well, they are like dollmore littlefee's haha, i hope they make suntan dolls

 

Thank you Ellaine!
They really do pose very well!!
Have you ever seen one sanded?

 

Does anyone have more spam of these dolls? I really want a Bomi girl this year.

 

You are welcome, and no.

 

Hi everyone I am not on DOA often, time won't allow and it is my first time here so I thought I would share my Bomi with her default faceup, she is wonderful !!! I love her natural look, she is even better in person. You WILL love her

Jeri, do you have any photos of her with your other dolls? She is very cute!

 

Hi everyone!! I've just discovered Narang and I fell in love with her.. *________*
She is the perfect sculpt for my "opposited" twins XD
*___*
i can see both a sad face and an evil one! She's perfect! What a pity Dollmore doesn't accept layaway under 600 $ and for longer time.. T.T
anyway, has someone already got a Narang?? *__*

 

No, sorry I don't, this is the first picture that I took of her. Were you trying to compare size ?

 

Yes and I see that you have a Baby Fairy! I'd love to see her with yours. I have Baby Fairies too!

 

here you go
not a great pic and the poor little Baby Fairy has been in her undies for weeks I want Sen too !

 

Very cute! Darling and fun girls!!

 

My Bomi showed up today! Yesterday, she was arriving at JFK. That was fast. No face up yet, and she's so very jointed, I'm wondering if I need to tighten her up a little bit. She has jointing everywhere. Other owners, please, how do your girls (and boys) pose??

 

I did her face-up, body-blush, mani and pedi today, and I'd like to introduce Holly, my Bomi:

Just got my Bomi from a lovely lay here on DOA. Her name is Penelope Sue and I adore her, she is loaded with attitude and poses every which way.

 

How cute! Does anyone have any photos of her with other small dolls that are Yo-sized? I'm wondering how she would look with my small crew.

 

anymore apple spam?? I'm considering twins far in the future....

 

anyone ordered a popo? Her face is so strange and funny. I really like how the dear doll's body look, but am abit unconvinced about their chubby faces. does anyone happen to have a leekeworld D? just wondering if their heads will fit on dear dolls and how their colour would measure up

sorry for asking so many questions @_@.

 

Dollmore resin has become pinker recently, so just bear that in mind for hybrids! Sounds like a cute hybrid though, hope it works.

There never seem to be enough tiny heads to choose from I find!

 

Noone here has a Narang? I'm considering 2 twins in the future

 

There is another new little one called Coco. A nice smiley face, but Coco is a bit more realistic than the rest. I really like her, but I don't know if I like her more than Apple.... I get to start saving for her now, so it's only a few months now.

Also, spare hands! We can get victory and fist hands now.

 

I just came to say I spotted the new Coco face too on the Dollmore website. It is exactly the same face as the Narsha-sized Coco put on the Dear Doll body! I am a big fan of Coco! She is a seriously cute doll, and has a very realistic face. Here is my 35cm Coco if you are interested to see one with a custom faceup (done bye Mingyi of DOA)



I think Coco would be darling in the smaller size! These Dear Dolls are very tempting to me indeed!

That Bomi face is adorable too! Holly and Penelope Sue are gorgeous!

 

I have my Dollmore Shabee head on a smaller body and it looks just right to me. It looked too small to me on the Narsha body.

 

Well, if Dollmore ever gets my order done, I'll have one soon.

 

glad to hear you got a Narang, KohakuTenshi!! i think you're one of the few who will own this awesome doll!!!! I'm in love with Narang and so I hope she'll come home soon, so you can just spam her xD

 

I really wish more people had these. I'm desperate to see more of them.

I don't suppose that someone who does have one would take some pics of one in a variety of poses so I can see what they are like?

 

I would instantly buy one of them, if they'd be released in white skin! They are super-cute. My favourite is Popo. Love this expression of the face!

 

Does any one here have *APPLE* yet? I just love her sculpt!
I do wish they made them is a ws choice!

 

I have a Bomi girl a Narang boy and I just ordered a Coco girl. This is my boy

and here is Bomi and friends. I absolutly love them to death

 

Bomi is soo cute!

Did you guys just see the new photos of Shabee on the Dear Doll body? She/he looks absolutely adorable in this size! The chubby body really suits the chubby Shabee face.
Shabee

 

I've always felt that Shabee wasn't right on the bigger body but this smaller body is perfect for her, she'd be a perfect cute toddler.

 

I have my Shabee boy on a little 26cm Doll leaves body. The Narsha body looked way too big for his little baby face when he arrived. I wish DM had offered him on this body when I bought him.

 

my shabee just arrived today.


deardoll shabee panda suit by onebluestocking, on Flickr

she is just as cute in person, and came in a white and black knit panda suit. she definately has a lot of joints for posing, but i think something is wrong with the elastic. she is both kicky and floppy at the same time if that makes any sense. she won't hold a pose because she keeps trying to curl her limbs up and arch her back. but the elastic feels way too flimsy and she's kind of ragdollish. do you think that restringing her with a heavier elastic would help? her sister, the larger shabee is much feels much firmer. she is the smallest doll i have so i'm not sure what would happen with heavier elastic. i've never done restringing before and she has a lot of parts, so i don't want to change her then have to change her back! any advice?

i also find her a little bobble headed since they didn't change the sculpt of the head as far as i can tell but the dear doll neck is smaller than narsha's here is her head on the dear doll body.

there are more pics and a comparison shot of her sister, narsha/shabee, on flickr.

 

My Shabee boy on the Doll Leaves body has the same problem, but I used some kips to make it sit a little higher. I think it looks fine with the wig on. Congratulations! I really think the Shabee head is too little for the Narsha body and looks perfect on the Dear Doll body.

 

Oh Auntbear, Shabee is so so so much cuter than she looks in the picture! Are you going to do your own face up? I would love to see a 'Real' picture of Popo. I just got my Narang a week or so ago and I am just not thrilled with him, I'm so bummed. I knew better than to get a boy, my own fault. My mom got her Coco and she is really pretty. Any Popo pictures?

 

pardon my ignorance but what are kips?

i actually like the head on both bodies. i have the two diff size "sisters".

i have cousins (on my side) and nieces (on my husband's) who had that chubby cheeked look well into their teen years so i don't find it odd

i think she is adorable too. i'm doing both the girls, hopefully this week. now if i could just fix the posing problem....

 

I am definitely getting a Popo girl. I just fell in love with that silly face

She is just adorable with this wig on http://www.dollmore.net/shop/step1.php?number=9153

What a face haha. Maybe I should make her into a little fox child

 

Sorry double post..

 

Ohh, I LOVE her! and a fox baby, what a great idea Manabusama. I really want to see 'Real' photos of her although bothe my DD look EXACTLY like the stock photos.

 

since you asked............ here is a pic of my Dollmore Popo girl, i did her faceup, and just love her

 

Oh Miss Ally she looks perfect! What a mug on that kid. I am hoping a few of my dolls sell soon so I can order her, she is now my favorite! What is she standing on, is that a backdrop? I am dieing to get one but don't know if anyone has used one?

 

juno101 When Popo first was released I did not quite like her. It have only been like 2 days ago since I added her to my wish list. And she is on the top of my list now^^ I so want to just order her right away But I have a MNM that are going to be modded and painted by MingYi in July. Have to save my money for that first. I am hoping that I will be able to order her after the summer vacation. But I am hoping I maybe can find a way to order her before that. I have not cuite decided if I`ll make her into a fox child yet. But it sounds pretty cool! It might bee that I just have her as a cute little chubby Loli girl^^

Miss Ally Adorable

 

thank you so much, i'm glad you like her. she "is" standing on a backdrop. i have a few of them, they are muslin and i get them on ebay. i guess it's ok to post link here? be mindful of what you are ordering, they come in different sizes. after you purchase the size you want, contact the seller and tell them what style you want. they are a reliable seller.

Does anyone have a Narang girl? I think she's so cute and her face is so striking. Her expression is very special and somewhat different than the other Dear Dolls. I'm planning on getting her as soon as I have the funds. By looking at the measurements it seems like these boys and girls are likely to fit into a lot of yo-stuff. At least I hope so.

 

I have a Narang boy and Bomi girl, their bodies are identical except for the little bits! My DD's fit into my Littlefee and Angi Ai clothes just fine, they all share clothes and shoes.

I will tell you though the diffrence between my Bomi, who is a year old and my brand new Narang, is huge. My Bomi is rock solid, holds a pose perfectly and is very heavy and her color is lovley. I was very disapointed in my Narang, he weighs half of what Bomi weighs and the resin is sort of a worm pink and the worst is he CAN NOT pose, his body is like a loose snake. He is like a rag doll and will take ether a lot of restringing or wiring and seauding. The elastic in him is so so thin and soft. Bomi's is round and 2x's as thick and that how she came with.

My mom just got her Coco yesterday and I will see her today but my mom said she is just like Narang's body floppy and very hard to dress

 

about the posing of these dolls, my Popo was the worst ever..... so many joints, that go every which ways, and so floppy. i pulled the body strings as tight as i could, and that did the trick. she is quite obedient now....... i recently got another Dollmore doll, and she is even worse. i think they are sending the dolls out loosely strung to avoid breakage while shipping.

 

it took me over a week (sick kids and all that) but i finished the girls faceups. here's a picture of the two girls together.


ananda and ellyce by onebluestocking, on Flickr


there are more views on flicker both finished and partly done. i'll also be adding them to my blog

and i set up a gallery page here with more detail
http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...ardoll-size-mild-nudity&p=7833001#post7833001
if anyone is interested

i guess i should also put the mild nudity warning as the gallery has one nude pic of my deardoll. she has her hands over her privates so it is only mild.

i'm planning on re-stringing ellyse using some heavier elastic, as soon as it arrives. i think the stuff sent with her is just too wimpy, she flops too much and it looks like there is lots of room for the heavier stuff.
i didn't like the way she flops at first either. but after playing with her during the faceup, i like all the positions she can go into. the problem is she can't hold any of them because of the elastic (at least i'm hoping that's what it is )

 

Um ok so I have decided to not get a Popo after all. I really loved how she had this different an fun look. But after giving it a further thought I see that funny and cute was all she was to me. I never buy a doll that do not fit in with my other dolls some how. If I had bought her I`m afraid she would have ended up as only room decoration in the end.

 

that's what i thought too. i've ordered new elastic the same size as in my narsha and am going to restring ellyce when it arrives. your experience makes it sound like that should do the trick hopefully.

 

Hello !
Here is my little Bomi :

 

what a sweetie. but it looks like you'll have to keep an eye on that one, she looks like she has a mind of her own

 

Thanks auntbear ! You're right, she is a strong minded little girl

 

today i finally tried restringing my first doll ellyce (deardoll shabee) when she came the elastic was too flimsy and she was as floppy as a newborn. it seemed to me that the elastic was just too thin and tightening would not solve the problem so i ordered 3mm elastic to replace it. it took me almost two hours because i had to keep retrying/rethinking it to make it work so i thought i would share what worked to speed it up for anyone else who wants to fix their dear doll.

first i tried just replacing the elastic with the thicker stuff but the wrist and ankle hooks were too small to go around the elastic and have it move at all so i couldn't tighten it. probably the easiest way to fix that would have been to simple replace the hooks with bigger ones but i didn't have any so i had to come up with another answer.

i took the elastic she came with and looped it around the hooks then tied that around the heavier elastic. i found i had to tie the knot as tight as possible (just enough slack to let the heavier elastic move when i tugged on it.) or the knot pulled up into the knee joint and messed that up. the heavy elastic threaded through all the limbs with no problem, just a bit of wiggling in some places.

i did the arms first (i don't think there is any other way) and then the legs using one continuous piece with a loop and knot on the hook. i pulled it as tight as i possibly could knotted it, and then pulled the hook through the head.

she still takes a bit of fiddling to get into position but she now sits and stands like a rock once i get it right! i am extremely pleased with her now.

a couple of other observations. i used hemostats to clamp the elastic after i had pulled it tight in the arms then worked the knot to be tight against the clamp before releasing it and cutting the elastic.
i also used hemostats to hook the middle loop onto the neck hook while i pulled the rest of the elastic tight and knotted it.

i probably could have done it faster if i had strung one with less joints to practice (and hadn't put the head hook on backwards and then had to switch it after i had everything as tight as i could possible make it )

i probably should have sueded the joints while she was apart but i'm not taking her apart again for that. i'll probably try to do it later without restringing her.
however the difference in my girl is amazing and was definitely worth the effort
