Dust of Dolls has introduced their first MSD sized doll, Roze Heln! Heln is currently up for preorder through PNW BJD Expo until March 30, 2019, and the face mold will be retired after this order period. She will be cast in pêche resin and has the option of Viridian House faceup. Dust of Dolls has mentioned that while Heln is to be retired after March 19, there will be future dolls released on the Roze body. While we wait for more updates, I figured let’s get the thread going! Who’s ordered this lovely doll? Pictured below: first cast at the factory, in test grey, from Dust of Dolls’ Instagram
@somewheresunbear hopefully we can gather the crowd and share any info! As far as I’ve seen, Heln has not been on DoD’s blog at all, and the factory’s photos have only been shared on Instagram and not Facebook. It may be short notice but I’m hoping we can spread info before the order ends in 5 days, so anyone who loves her can order in time I’ve decided against the faceup, because I’d like to get her home as soon as possible, plus I’m not 100% on what color palette she should have. EDIT: looks like the period has been extended to March 30th on PNW’s site!
Me too! This is the first doll I’ve ever ordered without having seen it fully realized. Definitely a plunge for me. Did you order her?
Ohhh! You ordered her! Wow! And it’s their first MSD Nope, I didn’t order one. I love Dust of Dolls but I prefer their fantasy sculpts more.
I don’t currently have any fantasy sculpts but I’m planning on starting a lil collection based on that. So we will see! Do you have their Appis or Krot?
Ah yes I have a Coti on the way! I regret not joining the preorder years ago but I’m glad I found a reasonably priced one on the secondhand market
We have photos of pêche resin! Though to be frank I don’t know what PNW does to their images, the quality is quite awful! They also keep misspelling her name I hope Dust of Dolls posts their own images on their blog. But for now, here’s what was just posted about an hour ago, she’s so cute!
And even more pictures on the Facebook! I think the quality is still not the best, I’m not sure what happened to them. But she’s still such a cutie. Every time I see another picture of her, I like her more and more!
Facebook has crappy quality photos for sure, so that may be a factor. I’m glad I joined in on snagging one of these girls! So many plans.
I did a quick mock-up on one of the better images I can’t decide bangs or no bangs, she might just need to have options
Did you all see the new post they put up of Roze Heln painted? It was on fb. She looks so cute and innocent!
Possibility of a second heln order! They need 20 people interested https://m.facebook.com/story.php?st...7802&id=232176353519525&fs=0&focus_composer=0
My girl, Sun, arrived today. She will be off to the faceup artist next week She’s beautifully made and very solid!
Hello! Does anyone know of any other standard sized dolls that have the same thigh circumference as the Roze body? It’s 14 cm and most SD measurements I can find listed match her hips and waist more or less but I they don’t say what the thigh circumference is.
Would someone tell me how she poses please? I heard about problems with Wawa and the body looks the same in MSD to me... I am afraid she can not stand but love her body shape
Mine stands just fine. I haven’t had any trouble with her and I haven’t done anything special. She’s my first dust of dolls girl so I can’t say for sure how the others were but I think they may have fixed whatever the issue was. Or maybe it’s just okay because she’s not as heavy as the Doom size girls.
Hi! I just thought I’d join in here because I was able to join the 2nd preorder for this lovely girl! I’m really excited to see what everyone does with this beauty
Hello, too ^_^ I also was able to join the 2nd preorder. After seeing one irl at a Doll convention I bitterly regretted not getting one at the first preorder, and I was so happy to see that a second one was done, yaaaayyy. I'm so looking forward to her
aa I’ve just grabbed a Heln as well!!! Still can’t belive how lucky we are to have the second preorder, I can’t contain my excitement for this girl!! This my plan for her, base photo from our cuteasadoll :3 Untitled by Isabelle8y, on Flickr
Ordered mine with a faceup! I'm super excited because I've been pining over Dust of Dolls babies for a while now and Heln is so lovely. I thought I had missed her so I was really happy when they announced a second order! I can't seem to find a full set of measurements anywhere though, so I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find that? I'm also specifically wondering her eye size since it isn't listed on the preorder page!
Just stopping by to spam a bit of my girl, Raí. Roze Heln has easily become one of my favorite BJD’s. by priscilla garcia, on Flickr Untitled by priscilla garcia, on Flickr Untitled by priscilla garcia, on Flickr
So excited to have ordered this baby in the second pre-order and so happy there will be a few more of them living in the world Also so excited to see DoD develop more on the Roze line.
I've also ordered on the second preorder, I was so happy that this was possible as I deeply regretted not ordering her during the first preorder. ^_^
I've ordered her too, couldn't resist. Blablette perhaps you'll be making clothes for her eventually???
Thank you so much ^_^ I had the opportunity to hold a Roze Heln during Les Dolls du Lac convention and I'm sooo looking forward to get mine. She is super-cuddly (if you can say that from something that is not a stuffed toy XD) and I found her very poseable.
I was able to join the 2nd preorder for Roze Heln and I cannot wait! I'm also excited to see what others do with this gorgeous sculpt!
Hi Guys !! Do you have idea of where I can find some black long wig without fringe and shoes for my Heln please ? Thanks a lot for helping !
For My Doll has lots of options, there is Monique, too, Alice's Collection, etc... For those who ordered on the second preorder, did you get your second invoice? I haven't yet, but it's maybe because of the time difference between Europe and America?
Thank you Blablette. Do you know what model is adequate. I tried my Ombre's shoes and they don't fit (Monique shoes #7610).
Unfortunately, no. I don't have mine yet as I ordered on the second preorder, so I cannot answer, but the mesurements are maybe on a website (PNW or DoD)?
Anyone know what’s going on with the second payment today? I was expecting an email or invoice or something lol
Me too. I haven’t gotten a second payment notice, etc., and don’t have immediate access to the card account used to see if they auto-charged. Anyone have any info?
I haven't had a second invoice neither. I'm a bit less worried as I see others are in the same boat. Edit: I wrote to PNW expo but as it's the weekend I might get an answer only at the beginning of the week. But still no invoice... meh.
I messaged them Thursday and haven’t heard back. They stated in multiple places they would be invoicing
In the meantime I went on their FB page and the person in charge wrote they would do the invoices during the weekend. Edit: I got my invoice and second payment is... done! Yayyy, this is a second 1/3 nearer to the cutie ^_^
I also got my second invoice yesterday. So if you haven’t gotten it yet, I definitely recommend reaching out!
Are invoices delayed again? I've been waiting for mine but nothing. I'd send it manually but I'm guessing this final invoice comes with the shipping fee.
Haven’t got an invoice either, but I was emailing about the shipping before, which they said will be billed when dust of dolls receive the dolls around the end of October. They also said shipping in the US will be around $50 if anyone needed to know but will have to be paid in euro (I think she implied the 50 estimate was in USD? but this whole preorders rather confusing me tbh)
All your Roze Heln are very gorgeous. Reading this post, I realize that I misunderstood that this mold was a MSD size! So stupid am I! I bough a Jama to console me.
Yes Jamä is YOSD. But when I saw Roze Heln, I was sure that the mold was SD size. I don't want to buy this size, but the Doom Bomi makes me crazy! Now I know that Roze Heln is MSD size, I have some regrets. I'm going to console myself with Jama!
Ther I saw a Roze Heln second hand at Instagram. May be you want to look. I think she looks like a little wawa. So happy about that.
Thanks for your kind advice. But now I just think how to custom my next doll. Only one project in my little head! And I'm very happy to see photos of DOA's members! I'm also waiting for another new doll. I saw the mold at the L-Doll last year and I hope that Lillycat will make a preorder.
