Gem of Doll Waiting Room

Just ordered a Gaul Centaur through LegendDoll!
Got the Mia Pink top + black horse body + big tail!
Just the nude doll, tho.
No outfit, wig, blushing, or face-up.
For me, customizing is where the fun's at ^-^
I'm so excited

 

My full set Andrea cat version just shipped! I saw a message from DHL that something was coming, but I didn't know what it was since I had several dolls that it could possibly be and assumed it was was one of those, but a day later, got confirmation. Almost 6 months...so have wait times gotten longer? I had to pester Alice a couple times because I was expecting a less wait time based on all the posts here...just so I can expect the next time I order from this company.

 

Finally moving out yay! Received my Olita and she is absolutely gorgeous TAT The clothes have lovely details, and I love the eyes she came with. Only thing I think Gem Of Doll isn't particularly good at is wig making? >< Both my Carlos and Olita has kind of a messy wig...

 

My mousse white with faceup and body blush Orion fox version finally arrived! He actually came on July 21 but I was away on vacation and didn't get him actually in my possession until July 28. I ordered him way back in end of March/beginning of April, I didn't think it would take quite this long, but since it did I kinda wish he had come a week later when I was home.

 

I ordered a fullset Floralia from Alice's Collections on June 14. She'll be my first BJD, I'm so excited for her to get here!

 

Congratulations on your first doll!
There's always something so special about your first bjd ~happy nostalgia~

 

I ordered Olita (human) on July 2nd and just got a shipping notice! I am so excited. It is going to be my first BJD and I expected to wait two more months at least.
But of course I won't be home the next two weeks so I kinda hope the shipping will take some time. But hopefully it will all work out fine and I have my doll when I come back home.
This really made my day!

 

Still waiting for my Osiris fullset
I ordered on 10. February from an EU based dealer (bjddreams)
I can't remember them ever needing so long

 

That's really strange. Have you contacted them about it? Maybe something went wrong.
I hope you get your doll soon!

 

I did ask the dealer about it around 2weeks ago and she told me it still needs till September /October according to gemofdoll
I wonder if I should ask gemofdoll if it's true. So far I have only good experience with this dealer and previous orders, a friend uses it too. I don't think they lied but it's also super off for gemofdoll to need that long.

 

Maybe they just didn't place the order before there was couple of other orders from Gem of Doll and that's why it's taking a while? I've never ordered through bjddreams so I'm not familiar with how they operate but I think quite few resellers wait to have at least few orders from the same place before actually playing the order.

 

So far I know they don't do that. They confirmed with me back than that they have placed the order.

 

I have ordered my very first BJD on the 17th of October. She is going to be GoD Black Dove Beaz with Normal Pink skintone and separately bought long brown wig, aiming to recreate one of my beloved lady OCs. I will still need to find purple eyes in the future (Unless I'm lucky and the randomly chosen pair of eyes are purple! ^-^)

Her arrival will definitely take time, meanwhile I can't stop browsing more and more clothes. T-T It is the unstoppable hype of "Yes, she'd look amazing in this dress but wait!! That one would be perfect on her too - wait wait, this one also looks gorgeous and wow I must practice sewing more for the fourth one, wait the fifth is still in stock, aaand I already have the browser tab open for a sixth..."

A dream more than a decade long is coming true by this purchase. Feeling excited!

 

I hope your order arrives quick! The wait times are really hard but at least GoD is on the quicker end. Ordering too much stuff in the wait time is a thing i also tend to do, so no advice on that

You chose a very pretty doll!

 

Got the shipping notification today!

My centaur boy is trotting on home

 

Sorry for the late late response, but did you get the human version of Andrea? How on earth did you put her wig on??

 

Hello, I got the cat version, so there was no wig included.

As far as the wig not fitting, does the wig cap stretch a bit? Sometimes the wigs provided can be a tight fit.

 

I was greedy and ordered Edward, Mira and Osiris in Full Set.
And since I fell in love with the Orion I ordered at least the mold. Hope I can find him some nice clothes that fits him well.

 

I ordered a blank orion with the face up I'm calling Rigel, and I just ordered some clothes off of space studio recently, I'll let you know how they fit when they come in! According to space studio customer assistance Orion is a large 1/4.

 

Thank you. My Orion is now on the way to me.

 

I don't think I actually remembered to add myself to the list when I ordered them. However my two Edwards from ACs have shipped, one is full set with face B and the other has face C with only a face up. I got the silver jointed claw hands and matching for arms, as well as a pair of normal jointed hands. Hopefully they get here swiftly and safely. ^_^

 

Time for an update, GEM Black Dove Beaz is now shipped! Received the email of the new status at 3am and could hardly fall asleep afterwards. :'D Felt so hyped!

While the waiting time goes on, her (and her twin's) space got prepared in the room. I'd also like to setup a glass door to the shelf where they are going to rest most of the time, so potential dust can not bother them. While Beaz was ordered via AC, I've ordered underwear, a stand, glasses and pair of eyes in the right colour from LegendDoll. Everything else (wig, clothes, stockings and shoes) should arrive alongside her.

The feeling hasn't changed - feeling so excited! Once she has arrived and got assembled, I plan to join the waiting room for her twin who got ordered around a month after Beaz. However, since she's from different brand I'll write about her elsewhere. :'>

The clothes that have been ordered are quite dark. One of the future plans is to find brighter clothes so they don't have to wear black 24/7. I feel a little scared how much clothes may stain the body, hopefully the risk can be much avoided by wearing underwear and washing the clothes before dressing the doll up.

It'd be an infinite rambling how happy I feel that she is already traveling! So one deep breath, sitting back, and continuously clicking on tracking code every day to see where she's currently adventuring before arriving here.

Looking forward to see Orion and the clothes you'll find for him!

The face expressions, they look amazing! The claws are a nice touch for Edward and I like that they can be swapped with normal hands according to your will. Looking forward to see them as well once they arrive!

Wishing everyone's dolls a safe journey! ^^

 

I also ordered the B Face. My shipping notice came on the 4th. Now I´m waiting for the news how much I have to pay for him.
I´m looking forward to see the picutres of your C Version.

Totally understandable. I´m looking forward to see the pictures. Also when her twin arrives.
I have a Dolk Suigintou. She also has black clothes and I´m afraid of staining on her white skin. Are you washing the doll clothes in the machine or with hands? I´m thinking to wash Suigintous with hand since they are made of velvet.

He arrived at my friends on the 30th of December. I ordered Edwards Clothes with him for the time beeing. And the tail from Osiris, May be I can find the time to dress him up on the weekend. His place is not ready yet. I didn´t expect him to come so fast.

 

My Edwards are here, and perfect.

 

Congratulations.
Any pictures?

I hope mine arrived tomorrow.

 

I took a few, none posted yet.Though my B Edward traded bodies with two other dolls and is now on a Xaga body. This was so my Ringdoll Baldwin zombie head could steal one of the Gem of Doll Willlaim bodies. A little bit of hybriding happened.
Really love both my Edwards though they are very different from each other now.

 

Popping back in with another doll! This time it's Andrea's cat head on layaway. I loved the design back when it first released, so this year I wanna make my cat girl dreams come true, hehe

 

Interesint. I will get the normal Baldwin.
So everything fits? The Skin is simillar?
My Edward is driving between Raunheim and Frankfurt. Thank you DHL ...
They didn´t realize that we changed the Adress on Friday and still tried to deliver it to my adress and not to my friend that is home with child.

Congratulations. And what about the body? Any plans yet?

 

The 1/4th version of Ringdoll Baldwin's zombie head fits the Gem of Doll William body really well. However my Baldwin's zombie head is blushed really pale so it matches the GoD mia pink really good. The ringdoll normal resin is actually a bit pinker than and slightly darker (not by a lot) than the Mia Pink of my Edwards. However again as the zombie head is blushed supper pale and it looks almost mia pink and is a really good match. The Edward heads do not look good on the 50cm Ring doll body it's too thick of body and too bright of pink next to the mia pink of Gem of Doll heads. So a weird one way hybrid, but lets both my Baldwins have a body. Given I wanted a thinner body for my Zombie this works out.

Also Xaga doll Simi-white (color seems to have been renamed since I got my in stock Ravi from ACs) matches mia pink 100%
My Ravi has had a issue with his head cap, and I was testing bodies to see what I wanted to order for my zombie Baldwin head. So as it kind of took Edward B's body I tested B on the Xaga 1/4th body I have and it's a wonderful match Edward B has stolen it. and my poor Xaga Ravi with his issues is now on an off topic artist body for now until I order him a replacement down the road. (But as he has issues anyway was ok giving him the temp body vs the others.) It's also a perfect match for resin though.

I need to get some pix to show color and fit of the heads, but it's been a long couple of weeks. Hopefully soon.

 

Thank you! Body-wise I might try to see how it looks on a current myou body I have. Or see how it fits with an upcoming bonbon galaxy body I also have on layaway. The skintone won't match tho (mia white head, mia pink body), but maybe it'll be fine? Guess I gotta wait n see. If I do like it on either body, I miiiight try to do some customizing of dyes or paints to cheat the full body cat look, but I'll cross that bridge when I have everything xD

 

Greetings, GEM Beaz has arrived yesterday! ^-^ It was an eventful day of unboxing, getting to know her and introducing her to friends and family, I hope she is going to feel great in this house and in my care. An unboxing journey post is in the works, photos are in the middle of being copied from mobile to laptop. (Nice opportunity to finally setup my file server.)

I decided to wash her clothes by hand, as I was uncertain how their fabric would react to a machine's program. Mildly warm water for black clothes (So they don't accidentally turn gray in the process? Is that possible? haha) and separate hot water for her white blouse. It took around a whole day for them to dry. While reading other comments, I have come across the fact that resin dolls are significantly less prone to stains caused by dark fabric but it yet feels reassuring that my doll is wearing freshly washed clothes. Plus, she now smells like a bouquet of flower thanks to fabric softener.
Personally, I hardly have any experience with velvet, a short research on Google mentioned if the velvet is able to sustain water it should be hand-washed in low temperature water.

Welcome, Edwards! It seems I was not the only one thinking of pairing GEM and XAGA together, though in my case it only happens by the sister doll arriving as a XAGA doll (More about her in the other waiting room). Looking forward to see this body-swapping journey illustrated!

Aw what a gorgeous cat, congratulations to Andrea! Mia pink and Mia white look quite similar to each other, it feels hard to tell them apart. The visual separation by clothes should help the colour of head and body "blend" together as well.

 

About to put an order in for Sylvia's fullset and get back on the Gem waiting train, just having trouble figuring out whether I can order them Pink/Normal Pink (unlisted colors), not able to get an answer from my dealer of choice Love my Adelise so much I'm happy to wait again!

 

@Nearr and for which skin did you decided now?

Meanewhile my Edward arrived and Mira is on her way to me. She comes with the B Head.
