Dream Valley BJD Tiny Dolls

Feb 6, 2018

    1. @jade-eyed-cat your Moon looks fabulous! I love the colours and shine :)
       
    2. @jade-eyed-cat your Moon looks amazing!

      My Rubin is the pet of Deimos's, my MSD 3-armed Howard ll. I haven't decided how I want to paint him yet.

    3. Has anyone ordered Neil or the other dog boy? I ordered a body and I'm excited for him, love those legs
       
    4. Never heard of DV's Pocky until I was browsing Denver Doll and saw him in stock.
      Evidently he and his friend were limited releases a year ago.
      I love inanimate object anthros, had to scoop him up.

    5. You did such an outstanding job on this!! I adore the colors on them.
       
    6. Your Moon looks so magical ✨️
      You have done such a great and difficult job!

      I ordered Neil on Paker body, but I still haven't received him :pout:
       
    7. I got my hands on a Zhao in black resin and he arrived today:D

    8. Wow, what a gorgeus color! :love
      Congratulations on arrival!
       
    9. Thank you! He is gorgeous, I'm so happy someone put one up for sale^^.
       
    10. Wow, he is fantastic. I love him. Congrats on getting him.
       
    11. Thank you:) !
       
    12. Hello!
      I want to show you my Neil on Packer's body :3 I like him so much, even though he is naughty (after this walk, I found that I damaged his make-up on his nose :pout:)

    13. DV is killing me with their wait times. Please hurry to me, my kitty boy. It’s so frustrating because I already have the head, eyes, and clothes. Still unsure if I want to give him a wig or not. :/ I ordered in January so fingers crossed he’ll be here soon. I keep looking through all the owner pics to see what colour I want to blush him. :3 I love the hands/paws so much!
       
    14. Yeah I feel ya, I ordered a dog body at the end of November and he finally shipped from AC last night.
      I don't actually have anything for him though since I wanna be sure the head I ordered with him works first.

      I was just looking at the nekomata again too and I think I wanna make mine a calico after seeing an adorable one someone in Russia I think painted.
       
    15. @Leader of the Rats
      Calico would be so cute! I’m turning mine into a DnD inspired tabaxi warlock. I’m not sure what colours I’m going to use yet but I’m excited to play around with the blushing on the body. I find blushing easier than the face up, if I can’t get on with it I might send out to get a more experienced artist. :)
       
    16. Ooh! My dog boy made it to my state, I thought customs would keep it longer like they did to some of my small purchases not that long ago.

      So today or tomorrow so long as they don't send it to the wrong town! They've done that several times recently too.

    17. So gorgeous and cool! :D Please post more pictures!
      I wanted to order Paker so bad but couldn't make the decision in time before the ordering period closed. I just love 90% of DV's releases, especially the anthros.
       
      • x 1
    18. I know the feeling! I regret SO much not buying Calle or Casia when they were on 20% sale before going into discontinuation oblivion:sorry But on the positive note, DV always have new wonderful creatures in sleeve
       
    19. He made it yesterday wooooo! The head did end up being too big but that's fine, I'll keep looking.

      Dollpamm boy heads are a possibility, maybe Shark or Reo. I wanna get the floppy dog ear and tail set in white for him anyway.

      Edit: found the perfect smaller head, DC Erica. Can't afford it yet though so I'll just eye it longingly for now.

    20. I really like the 1/6 Nagas they announced, especially the black tail one.
      I was super disappointed to see the resin color options do not include black, just their coffee skin.
      Guess I will look into dying. (I don't trust their body blushing, I have several dream valley dolls where it chipped pretty much immediately)

      Does anyone have a comparison of their normal skin and their tan? (for deciding on the upper body color)
      I guess for the tail dyeing it doesn't make a difference if the tail is normal or coffee?

    21. It is great to see the Naga dolls. I have two from Sugarble and would love more. I would also love the option of black resin. I do like the purple though.
       
    22. I'm planning to dye mine black as I want to dye the whole doll with a different head to make a black kingsnake themed character. I've had very good results dying dolls black with Rit Dyemore Sythetics (graphite). The trick to good adhesion is the heat so make sure to get it to a good rolling boil. You also need to hold the pieces in the dye for a good 10 min so I recommend putting the pieces on the end of a wire so you don't have to have your hand directly above in the steam ;)
      I've only dyed from white so don't know if the original resin colour makes a difference. My best guess is that it probably doesn't make much of a difference if you're dying to black.

    23. I've kinda been too intimidated to dye a doll for a while, lol! Luckily I what I planned on doing with mine was something that I don't think will require it. I plan on something inspired by a character in French folklore and let me say this is one of many dolls where I very quickly knew what I wanted to do with it! :)
       
    24. At least black is easier to to achieve with dye than a lot of lighter colors are. On fabric not so much, but on resin it sticks pretty well.
       
    25. Finally got the "ready to ship" notice from the distributor about my Paris who I ordered at the end of last October. I was starting to get a bit worried by the wait time, so I was extra excited to get that email. They'll be my first YoSD-scale doll, since I started out collecting mature tinies.

      Added: I got my shipping notice!

      My Paris is finally home! His/their name is August, and my first YoSD scaled doll.

    26. Congrats on getting him! He's absolutely lovely!
       
    27. Thanks! I love him! His eyes are open just wide enough to need eyes, but not wide enough for the color to be visible.
       
      • x 1
    28. He’s so precious, congratulations!
       
    29. Does anyone have a human Rin that they could take a photo next to either a standard proportioned YoSD or a mature tiny (fashion doll scale)? She’s so pretty, but I am having a heck of a time visualizing how her size would compare to my other dolls.
       
    30. My Flo Dragon came in today!

      [​IMG]

      I didn't expect her to be this big lol. Not that I'm complaining! The sculpting on her is exquisite and she has SO many parts and pieces, even her lower jaw is magnetic and can be moved separately from the headpiece. Unfortunately her neck is rather floppy, but that's nothing wiring (and maybe sueding but I'm scared to unstring her) can't fix.

      I may have to put her wings to the side though, as the pointed tips feel very fragile especially since the wings are magnetic. I find them kind of difficult to pose as well--though I only played with her for a few minutes. Will have to see if I can wire those too or put kips in if possible.

      I have no idea what I'll do with her but I love her already. :kitty1

    31. If you decide to unstring it be very careful. I pulled a foot out enough to expose the s-hook on mine to start unstringing it and the resin bar that supports the s-hook snapped right off.

      Playing with the wings to try and make them more stable a hole opened up in the channel the string goes through as the resin was so thin.

      Top it off with it arriving with two right wings instead of a right and left and I've been completely underwhelmed by this doll and am regretting having ordered an Uncia from DV dreading what issues it will have when it arrives.

    32. @scripple That must be super disappointing that its so fragile. My only pet doll from them is Rubin, and he seems pretty sturdy. Not having wings helps. I have two MSDs from DV so far, including a Rosa with wings and one on the 3rd arm body, and the only problem either has is that my 3-armed guy doesn't stand too well due to super tight stringing.

      I just realized I never shared my Izzy here. Here's August with their new friend Ryoko!

    33. So the dragon that Dream Valley's been previewing will come in two sizes, 1/4 and 1/6. I feel like this is great news in the event that the 1/4 one is astronomical.
       
      • x 2
    34. Oh help, oh no, oh dear. I was tempted by the other two dragons I've seen (Rafiyah and Flo? I think) but they were both a little bit cutesy for me. But this one, this one, oh boy, I think I might violently need this one.
       
      • x 4
    35. I’m thankfully safe from their new dragons, but it’s the teeny tiny rider Lucia that’s tempting me :> I love mature tinies and her full set is stunning! *considers*
       
      • x 3
    36. Me as well! She is so cute! I was looking at her measurements and that might be the smallest bjd head I've ever encountered...maybe it just measures small because of the resin wig, maybe that adds bulk?? Her lil ears and expression and outfit are marvelous. Are there other dolls by DV that are this size, or is she unique?
       
    37. It looks like her proportions and measurements are similar to their discontinued tiny giraffe-centaurs Casia and Calle. I have a Casia and I really like the scale of her~
       
    38. @slight oh interesting! I just looked her up she is very cute. I really like tiny mature dolls, I have a Shelma Dolls April that has similar measurements so I hope little dragon rider and her can be friends :)
       
    39. I'm glad they're doing a 1/6 version too. As much as I love the impact of the 1/4 size, the price and space needed for the 1/6 is more realistic for me. The only thing that i'd miss from the 1/4 is the jointed hands. My dragon character I want to shell sits back in the hind legs and uses his hands like a human so it would have been nice to have the jointing. The one thing i'm worried about is that while the 1/6 hands are really nicely sculpted, you can't put the left one on the flat on the ground. I've made a suggestion to DV if there might be an option for an additional flat hand so you can stand them on all fours (always worth a shot to ask!)


      I'm so sorry the quality/good construction was very lacking on that doll. Thank you for sharing what the issues were. I would need to take the dragon apart to dye it so with this warning I know to do a careful assessment on the sturdyness of the part before doing anything!
      I've not noticed any big issues with the sarafina rabbit body so the Uncia should be ok. That said, i've not tried to take apart that body or done a really close look for issues like thin resin so will take a closer look when I get time!
       
    40. Fortunately for my bank account I have no interest in the dragons, but I really like the dragon rider Lucia. It's rare to see that level of posabiliy in a doll her size. I already own a lot of mature tinies, but she's still super tempting.
       
    41. Unfortunately I do ... and always wanted a pet doll and this is cat/dog size for larger SDs... not great timing monies wise. But I feel I would regret not getting one.

      Question out there... does anyone have any DV red resin? I am seriously considering a full set and although I slight like the red more than the black, red has the potential to fade/yellow and black resin won't (a huge bonus ;) )
       
    42. I think the first release of red resin from Dream Valley was last year. I ordered an MSD in red during the second release, but don't have him yet. I think Resin Soul's red resin has fairly good fading resistance, and I hoping Dream Valley's does too.
       
      • x 1
    43. TY... Soom's red brick does too :)

      Will leave a few days and have a hard think :blush
       
    44. I ordered the dragon rider Lucia full set! She is very close in size to my Shelma Dolls April (I named her Stix). While I wait I want to make Stix a dragon rider companion outfit.

      What do you think was the main inspiration for Lucia's full set look?
       
      • x 1
    45. Congrats on your order, I hope she arrives quickly and safely! I’ve only bought 1/4 scale dolls before but she’s really tempting me. Dream Valley limited dolls alway make me want to reconsider my “don’t buy a new doll until the previous one arrives” rule, haha.

      I really have no clue what her inspiration is, but her outfit has a more modern, stylish look than I expected when I first saw they were releasing a dragon rider. Makes me think she’d inhabit a cool sci-fi fantasy world.
       
    46. She gives me Final Fantasy XIV-ish vibes. It's a combination of the look of the clothes (it's not Final Fantasy without some truly weird design choices, like the asymmetric pants, whatever's going on with the sleeves, and the boot strapping) and the fact that she's a white-haired, ponytail-having, dragon-riding elf makes me think of Estinien.

    47. the dragons appeal so much to me... but no where to keep them and cannot afford them right now.
       
    48. @VicVersal oh yes I agree it's a sci fi fantasy blend. When I first showed my husband the pictures, he thought her shorts were painted on they are so tight and shiny!

      @Cryptid ah Final Fantasy XIV yep I can see that. I'll look further into some of those outfits, see if I am inspired:) I'll look up Estinien as well, thanks! Lol weird fashion design choices always intrigue me. I think Castlevania Judgement is my all time winner for top weird clothes!
       
    49. I got 2 Dream Valley dolls for Christmas! They aren't my first Dream Valley dolls - I got 2 little dragons some time last year. (I'm in love with all of their dragons, but no monies and no space rules them out for me at present.) These 2 little guys are just so cute. I'll eventually paint them, though TBH, I'm actually happy with them just plain white! Meet Leaf (Gru) and Radish (Tea.) I'm working on setting up a little game room in a cubicle. It's a major WIP right now.

    50. so cute! i have a soft spot for my little Gru too, his little hands and feet are so great right?
      the tiny Monopoly board is perfect for them :kitty2
       
    51. @pepperonipizza they're so cute with the game! I've got a Rubin wingless dragon from them that I adore.

      Added: I ordered a Lucia in tan today! She's going to fit better with my mature tines than my current tiny Dream Valley dolls, but it'll be interesting to see her next to them.

    52. @Grimalkin - thank you! Yes, OMG, Gru's feet and hands are so magnificent!

      @Leo Pheonix - thank you! Rubin is such a cute sculpt - definitely on my 'I'd love to have' list! :D Congrats on ordering your new doll!

    54. I love her outfit! Did it come with the doll by any chance?
       
    55. Looks like I'll be joining this thread as a little snakey girl fell into my cart at Denver Doll and she's currently making her way home. I think this is her way of telling me I should've just ordered her when she was released instead of telling myself I don't need a cute little naga to sit on my shelf...

      Does this ever happen to anyone else?
       
      • x 2
    56. Thank you.
      I used chiffon ribbons and scarf as clothes,
      and decorated it with snake rings.

      I think it's very convenient for Naga to use ribbons as clothes [​IMG]

    57. Sometimes, I need to see the entity to know I really need that cool thing:XD:
      Congratulations, she will be home soon
      :dance
       
    58. Does anyone know what fabrics have a medieval European vibe to them? I want to have that kind of stuff for my naga when it arrives, because I wanna make a character based on Melusine, something I did mention earlier, though I didn't name drop Melusine back then.
       
    59. @marephome - Thank you! I've wanted a little naga girlie since Sugarable released theirs! I wasn't able to get one then so I was really happy to see Dream Valley's. I talked myself out of ordering one at the time, and was sort of following DDE to see if they would get some in stock.

      I agree about using ribbons as clothing! I bet lace would look nice as well. It's what I plan on doing for my girlie. I want to dye her a light grayish blue and I also want to see if I can pull of glittery scales.
