Dollmore Random Head Box?

Jan 29, 2023

    1. Has anyone had experience with the Random Head Boxes from Dollmore? They've apparently been a thing since November and are apparently available until they run out of stock. For context, the individual size listings disclose that these are heads that have sat in their warehouse for too long, so I'm assuming they're mostly the less-popular sculpts. Otherwise, they sound like a pretty good deal for >$45.

      (I wasn't sure if this should go in News since it's old news and I couldn't find an existing thread; feel free to move if this isn't the place.)

    2. I got two, a 1/3ish Uncleish dollpire and a 1/4 fantasy head, they're perfectly fine heads tho the fantasy head has a little extra resin in the eyehole that needs to be removed

    3. I got two illua doll random doll heads and I'm happy with them. They turned out to be Lilia and Dalhia in normal skin. The skin colour was also random. Dollmore said they wouldn't be exactly same colour as a new doll, but that didn't bother me since the normal colour Illua body I have is almost 5 years old anyway. If, after I finish painting these heads, Dollmore has this promotion again, I will probably buy more.

    4. Hmm, I didn’t think about damage/imperfections beyond yellowing. I wonder if there are meant to be “rejects” or mismolds among the bunch. I could be wrong, but I think that LUTS made my doll to-order (resin pouring and all) a decade ago. I’m still (re-)learning, but it could be the case if that’s Dollmore’s process. None of that puts me off, though, because I plan to use this head as practice for faceups/modding anyway if I don’t like the sculpt.

      The color thing is almost preferable since I’ll likely be hunting down a second-hand body if this head becomes more than an experiment. I’m tempted to grab two at once as well and am having to talk myself out of it, lol :chomp: I’m reminding myself that this likely won’t be my last order from Dollmore. :thumbup

    5. Could be. in any case, it's an easy fix with an exacto knife, so I think the heads are all at least usable quality even if they're dry aged. for the record, I also got them for faceup practice

    6. I ordered one less than a month ago, I got a dollpire one. it's good for the price imo and I knew it would be yellowed. The head cap doesn't seem to fit on that well and the magnets fell out so I have to glue them back . . Other than that I'm happy with the one I got ! I'm using it to practice faceups anyway:celebrate
