Dollzone Baby BB 23cm - 29.5cm discussion part 3

It took almost a year, but I finally gave my DZ Sis a face-up! Priscilla can come out of her box at last and join the thread!




She had to wait so long while I saved up for a new body for her, but it was well worth it in the end because she looks exactly like how I pictured her. I'm so excited to play with her now!

 

Aww, she's cute!

 

I love DollZone and keep selling the fancy dolls and going back to them! I used to have an Ani2 and miss her a lot! I feel like they are a bit of an underdog and I always root for the underdogs! I fell in love with DZ BB Krumi years ago but never made a move. An under appreciated sculpt for sure! Between google and here, I was only able to find three owner pictures and one was just a for sale post! I am sure they are out there but they are a needle in a haystack!

I bought krumi as an impulse from Fabric And Friends. It was in stock so I couldn't resist having it in two days! Downside being I couldn't request a female body since the fullset is boy by default. I am playing mine as a girl. But with clothes who cares Who is going to be looking?

This is River! She has the factory face-up but it is really nice and I don't plan on changing anything! She doesn't have anything to wear right now so she stays wrapped in blankets

I just love Krumi and mine especially . nice to see one more around!

 

Aww, she's very cute Foxqueen!

 

I'm currently waiting for a replacement body from Dollzone,I returned the other one to Mint on Card last week.

I'm glad everything worked out but now I have to wait all over again T_T

That really sucks that you have to do all that waiting over again. Fingers crossed their turnaround time doubles for you.

 

After year of hunting I finally ended up with my first BJD!

She still has her factory face up, she looks sweet with it
This is Ophelia ~

 

Aww, she's very cute!

 

Monster High clothes fit Dollzone Special bodies really well. This is good news for my circus girl Dale -- lots of costume changes are now possible!

Oh that's really awesome icicle! She looks very cute.

 

My replacement body got to MOC today!

It was super annoying that this happened but the wait wasn't too bad and I'm glad it was able to be corrected.

I'm going to send out my Abby head for a faceup pretty soon,I had a style planned for her but I wanted her body to be here before she was painted.

 

Oh hey, that's great news! I take it that DZ have fixed their wait times?

 

The wait for this body was less than three months,it took I think five for my first order.

 

Alright then, they're getting better. This bodes well for me.

 

My replacement body came in today,so now Merrium is finally all together
though she still needs to be painted of course as well as her proper wig and shoes.

I'm really glad that this whole mix up ended well!

 

D'aww! Isn't she a little cutie!

 

Anyone have a DZ Samantha? I'm getting one on layaway and I'm curious to see what others have done with her.

 

I don't but I was curious about her a little while ago and searched Flickr for owner photos,there are a few of them on there if that helps.

 

Thank you, @Bailette.


@xkelpiex, I'm getting a DZ Samantha (she's on layaway and secondhand). I will spam her when she's home. Her name will be November, first Dollzone too.

 

I just wanted to share my find this weekend -tiny Christmas sweaters that fit my DZ 27cm crew!

I got the sweaters at Micheal's craft store. They are actually Christmas tree decorations. They fit pretty well.

 

oh they look adorable kurogane - great find!

 

Thanks elve! Now I just need to make some red and green pants... The blue just isn't looking right, lol. I might get them done by Spring, ha ha.

Finding the sweaters has gotten me motivated with them again. I STILL need to do face ups and get them shoes -it never ends.

 

Oh gosh, that's just adorable kurogane!

 

LOL I've got too many dolls needing faceup longterm - it's surprising how you get used to them blank - I find it hard to imagine them any other way now -I even took the default faceup off one of my bigger dolls as I prefer them blank sometimes! ^_^

 

Thank you Quiet and Insane!

elve -I have to agree with you that I'm so used to them blank, that when I try a face up, it just looks so odd. That is why I shouldn't wait so long, lol. I really want to try a simple anime style for them, but will now have to wait till next summer, oops.

 

Such good news to share.......Nova has shipped out and heading home to me!! I could fly with joy!!

 

Oh that's awesome!

 

Congrats Gothic Diurnal Hime!

I'm waiting to get my Abby back from getting her faceup,I'll be sure to share when she's home.

 

Thank you both @Bailette and @Quiet and Insane! So excited to get her home!

Nova is home (I didn't open her until the 25th) and her box was completely destroyed, but luckily, she's okay. She's already showing her personality. She's definitely the sweet one of the family. And @Bailette, your girl Merrium is cuteness resinified! Those big eyes make me wanna hug her!

So, now that Nova is home, I gotta shop for her. And is it me or is her head huge?

 

Yay! Congratulations on getting her home!

 

Thank you!! Here's a pic of her!

 

Awww! She's so cute!

 

I agree,she's really cute!

 

Yes, so cute! Congratulations!

 

Here's Merrium back from getting her faceup,I just love her!

 

Oh my gosh, she's so sweet and spooky!

 

She's beautiful! I love DZ Abby's dress on her, so elegant

 

Thank you both for the compliments!

 

She's adorable! Congrats on getting her home safely!

Thank you, @Bailette, @kurogane, and @Quiet and Insane! I'm smitten with Nova!

 

I want to introduce my first and only bjd boy - Baby Emile!

Aww, what a cutie! Which sculpt is he?

 

@Verena is he a Gino? He's precious! I love the sculpted eyelids on some of the DZ tinies.

 

@Quiet and Insane, thanks! He is Gino.
@hyssop, thank you! I

 

Awww!! He's so cute!!
And to the rest of the group: which wig size would fit a Samantha better? And is it just me or is finding shoes a journey for the Young BB girls?

 

@Gothic-Diurnal-Hime - Since her head size is 17.5 I think a 6-7 with a stretchy cap would fit ok (such as Leekeworld wigs) or a 7-8 but that might be a little large for her.

 

@Gothic-Diurnal-Hime - I'm afraid I can't help in either area as my Moon wears a custom wig and no shoes...if I had a wig for my Miss Kitty I may have been able to help...

 

@Gothic-Diurnal-Hime, thanks!!

Naww, what a cute little set of overalls!

 

Hello! I have been looking at DZ Ivy for a while and I was wondering if anyone here had her? If so can her wings be removed or are they permanent?

 

i have an ivy. the wings are strung on so they can be removed but there will be holes in her back. if you don't want the wings you can order an ivy head and the B18-001 body.

 

Are the wing strung in with her arms? I keep going back and forth because I love the wings but I also like the idea of her going wingless sometimes as well. If I had the funds I may see about getting her the winged and normal body and go from there but that'll be a while before the doll funds are that high! So I may stick to a normal body for now just to be safe! And if you don't mind me asking, do you have photos of your girl?

 

i went and checked, the wings are held on by the main string holding her legs, torso, and head together. here is a pic of her back:

and here is my little Ivy and Iris (unfortunately they are still very blank)

 

Ok so if I did want to remove the wings I'd have to worry about undoing all of that string. I have been thinking about going wingless and if I change my mind in the future getting wings since at least DDE offers the nude wing body separately but not the non winged body.

Your ladies are gorgeous! And thank you for sharing a photo of them I've never tried face ups or body blushing but I think if I got one of those ladies I may get them blank so I can practice.

And if you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for dollzone to make them and send them out? Was it the usual 90 days?

 

every time i have ordered DZ it has taken 6 months but i go through MOC. i have never ordered directly from the company but i expect it would be faster than through a dealer

 

Thank you! That'll give me some time to do a long layaway and have some ideas

 

As a new person, it's good to see an active thread that fits my doll perfectly. I recently pre-ordered a DollZone Candace head on their B27-004 body from Denver Doll Emporium, she will be my first BJD.

What do the people who have Bertha, Samantha, Abby or Candace think of the posing? I've done a lot of googling for pictures of the bodies (I'm fairly certain the only difference between bodies is the wings or lack thereof) and they look like they pose very well. I'm an art student on a break from college and BJD's are like the ultimate level-up from wooden pose mannequins, the only thing better would be a live model.

Bailette, Merrium is gorgeous. I find your design to be fascinating in how she is somewhat very similar to DollZone's photos and yet totally the opposite at the same time. Can I ask what size wig fits her best? DDE lists the Abby head sculpt to be the same size as Candace.

 

Firstly,thanks for the compliments on Merrium! I really appreciate it when others like my dolls since their designs are a bit niche lol

And yes the bodies are the same aside from one model having wings,I find that she has a good range of motion and is able to hold poses well.

For wigs,size 6-7 works best in my opinion,I think 7-8 would be too large even with a silicone head cap since my 6-7 wigs with stretch easily slide about without one.

 

Thank you! I was guessing a 6-7 for the wig, but I didn't want to run with a guess. Putting hair on a BJD is much more expensive than putting hair on the off topic fashion dolls that I've worked on before, lol

I was really pleasantly surprised to see a face-up on an Abby head that was so striking. The DollZone photos and the blank head, to me, look like she is sad or perhaps scared. Merrium looks calm and resolute, definitely not timid.
