In sptember, this year, i couldn't resist anymore and i said that i want one trinity doll, i have always loved big dolls and i felt trinity girls were perfect for me. Was hard to decide, i liked all of them.... Marianne seemed cute and wanted to order, but then i saw Eugenia Frozen Tear and i wanted her badly. By a twist of fate, i got LE set of Frozen Tear, but Marianne head! Kind and helpful, Dollmore offered to change it for free or keep Marianne and buy another Eugenia head at attractive discount and free shipping. i decided to keep this beauty and complete her and Eugenia. The wig is gifted by Dollmore and fits perfectly to my girl (honestly, i have wanted to order it, i love blue color!), i love it, later, she will have eyes too and i will do the make up, for her and the upcoming Eugenia. .
What a fun coincidence! Marienne and Eugenia are both lovely! I really like that shade of blue for a wig, too.
Oh i think that too, especially after i saw new Marianne and New Eugenia together today! Now, the unwanted initially girl has a name too, her name is Miya
Thank you so much...., i couldn't imagine that i would like her so much. There clothes are bought before she arrives, but i felt that fit her instead of limited Frozen set
I full agree your opinion, it's a very lucky mistake, actually i would have wanted a Marianne too, but trinities are expensive and require a lot space! .Yet...Marianne it's the one i would have wanted if not Eugenia, and she will be full as soon as possible. She is a versatile sculpt, can be customized as a very sweet girl or a tough one, i saw both eversions of her, both impressive.
Oh dear she is adorable amazing doll, I love big dolls and my dream is a huge bjd how does the weight feels is it manageable? Such a beautiful doll congratulations!!!!
Thank you for such nice words about my doll, she is adorable and i already ordered a body and eyes for her, to complete it. As for her weight...she is quite heavy and floppy now (for safety reasons dollmore sent her this way), but i love how the weight is felt, i found it...recomfortant and she became my comfort doll, a companion.
I went to the hardware store and got some garden/plant wire - it's plastic-coated, so it won't stain the inside of the doll. I wired up my Trinity, and man, did it make a huge difference. I highly recommend it. I don't recommend tightening the stringing very much. Trinities rely on small resin shelves to hold them in place, and stringing too tightly can cause resin chipping. She is stunning. They are addictive, aren't they? I got one, and already, I'm thinking, "Hmmm... do I really want another one? Yes, yes I do."
Thank you for suggetion, i will apply this when i will be a bit more confident to manage her, now i don;t dare to do much Well, beautiful Marianne wasn't planned, trinities are too big and expensive, i was thinking that one, Eugenia, was enough for me, but seems that they are not only addictive, they are willfull too, that my Eugenia had other...ideas, wanted a friend and forced me to get her one
Oh, don't mistake my chipping warning as this doll being fragile - she is a solid beast. Don't be afraid to take her apart. She's actually relatively simple construction as far as BJDs go. The problem is that over time, the resin kinda wears out from the stress of tight stringing. Dollmore said they were re-working the body. If they release a new Trinity girl body, I may have to upgrade. I would, however, recommend having some vice grip clamps on hand, and maybe a second person, unless you want to be on the floor like I was, two feet on the doll body, pulling with all your might, lol.
Thank you too for your kindness it's a breathtakingly beautiful doll and I love big dolls, I have a collection of out of theme big dolls from 60cm to 1 m and I always dreamt of a bjd of this size but I was worried about the weight cause I have waist issues (I might need restringing myself lol) I think it's wonderful and it must have unlimited fashion options as she probably fits in plenty amazing kids clothes there are available in stores everywhere!!!!
I'm glad you were able to get both of the girls you wanted (even if it was by accident, it was meant to be!). The 1/2 scale dolls are fascinating to me, your Marianne has such a pretty face, it'll be exciting to see her with a faceup
I know they are not fragile, some other friends told me that they have tendencies to be violent...ha ha ha, happened to me too, the box she came in was too huge and heavy for my little person and left a little bruise on my arm, now i am thinking twice before wrestle with a trinity alone
I love smaller dolls too, but these big are...amazing. Even if they are heavy and i am smaller than a normal person, if i were asked now if, knowing what i know about them, and supposedly not having one, i would still want a trinity, my answer is definitelly yes, they worth the effort, i ove how heavy they are. As for clothes, yes, can find many kid clothes but are too childish fr her teenager serene girl personality, i think that i will start to sew some outfits for her later, after holidays, but it's no hurry since she have borrowed body and will returne when the right head comes, i still have time until her own body arrives.
Thank you so much for liking my Marianne (Miya), she really is adorable and it's impossible to refuse her. I also think that was a fated mistake, i wanted her, but without this mistake, not seeing her in person, i wouldn't have dared to buy another trinity, money and room for a trinity are not small issues to resolve, but when i was thinking that i could sell or return her...my heart ached, so i decided that she's also my kid. Now i gifter her some socks, new dress and a little blanket for Christmas, to be less sad.
Oh God I LOVE how those stocks and tights fit her and with the blanket she is so adorable!!!! She surely worths the effort and price she has unlimited potential!!!!! I agree she will fit better in a more teen look you are right but still there are t-shirts and tights and sneakers in children clothing that look identical to teen ones but smaller and with the proper accessories she will be an awesome teen ... Can't wait to see more of her I am a fan already (Although if I get one I will totally make her wear the most goofy kids outfits that I would love to wear but people don't let me cause I'm too old for that lol!!!!)
Dear friend, don't let ever anyone to tell you that you are too old for playing with dolls, when someone said ever that to me i answered: look, i am older/ bigger now, so are my dolls too If your heart really wants one...do not refuse it, offer yoursef a such lovely doll, you will not regret. I am now working to complete the 2nd one, so...have the courage, go for what you want. I will try to make Miya nicer and nicer, must find cloth to create outfits for her and really need ALOT of it, not like what i use for 1/3 dolls or smaller, for those i can use recycled good clothes to make nice outfits
Amen to that. When someone told me their 15-year-old daughter was too old to play with dolls, I scoffed and said, "No, your daughter isn't old enough to handle this doll. She costs more than some people's cars." These aren't playline toys. These are mature, expensive collectibles. Don't let anyone tell you differently. And now I'm off to the store to find Trinity-size socks.
Thank you so much for your kindness and your encouragement!!! Truth is that my family say I'm too old for dolls from the time I was 12years old and now I am 43 lol they have an admirable persistence to issues which are not their business lol. I'm sure she'll get prettier and prettier, you show such love for her!!!! I know what you mean about fabric quantity big dolls need a lot of fabric I was amazed of how much las reinas of Paola Reina need and they are half this size even the jacks Pacific Disney playmates which are fairly huge are smaller than trinity but it worth both the material and effort cause it's the most amazing doll ever and it will be with your other trinity a gem of your collection!!!!
My dear friend, i am abt 10 years older than you and my family also try to discourage me, but they have no chance, i never listen, more, today i received Eugenia head and completed my LE Frozen Tear Eugenia, next is Marianne Miya to complete, soon. I never sew for these big dolls as this one is my 1st, but i will do many clothes for them, i already have in mind something for Miya. I think that wil be easy to sew clothes for them, hardest was to sew for smaller ones as 1/6 or 1/4.
I so much agree with everything you say!!!! It seems families have always an issue with dolls everyone I know gets a hard time from family for dolls, you are a courageous collector!!! I can't wait to see what you're going to make for this beauty!!! I have a hard time with small sizes too not so much with 1:4 but with 1:6 yes and I have a 1:12 phicen which is almost impossible for me to sew for unless I learn to sew without seeing what I am doing lol!!!! Hope you had happy holidays if you celebrate and many many wishes for health happiness and all kinds of blessings forthis new year!!!!
I am not courageous, i just know that life is short and i deserve to be happy and when i leave here, have no regrets. We all deserve to be happy, that's why we are born. As were holydays here, i couldn't even do a nice dress for my girl, but we are working on that soon, now that she is with me, i am the happiest person ever, she's all i ever wanted to a doll, i don't even feel the urge to paint her face, i love to see her bare face with delicate features. For now she wear some of my clothes, a little altered.
She is certainly gorgeous and looks lovely in your clothes!!!! Take your time and when you decide to paint her she surely will be super special!!!!
Congratulations on being able to acquire both heads along with the full trinity body & Frozen Tear LE set! That's very kind of Dollmore to offer you such an attractive discount for their mistake and the color of the blue wig looks absolutely gorgeous on Marianne! I hope you'll be able to enjoy them for a long time to come and maybe share some photos of Eugenia as well when you get the chance (I believe that Eugenia may have been included in the pictures in your original post but some photos appear broken for me so if she was included in those photos, my apologies). The last photo of Marianne next to the bed looks absolutely stunning, by the way (unless that's Eugenia, and if so, my apologies, I'm not too familiar with the sculpts)! She looks so stoic but yet, at peace. Beautiful!
She will have a faceup someday, for now i am more and more in love with her bare face. She will have a natural, light faceup later, i have something in mind already. As for clothes, i bought her a jeans overall and some snikers, just the gloves are huge, but i will find a solution for this too because i want to protect her hands.
Thank you so much for linking my girl, she is indeed very nice, my Marianne, Miya, is waiting for her body now that i am paying in layway (it was never in my plan to buy 2 trinity girls and price is not cheap, so i need to saveup). Eugenia is the one i posted above, in jeans overall, but i have also her photos in LE10 outfit, i will post few here.Marianne (Miya) is blue hair one, Eugenia (Leiya) the one with black hair. Dollmore, Abby, are very kind indeed and fixed nicely for me and for them the mistake, but i felt like it wasn't a mistake, maybe was meant for me to have Marianne too because i liked that sculpts 2nd to my Eugenia. And she has helped me with many other requests, Abby is just great person, it's a pleasure to order from Dollmore, good quality, nice person in touch, fast shipping, it's not stressfull as to wait 7-9 months for a doll or more.
You're welcome~! I definitely understand needing to save up for another body. I've seen those prices! Thank you for clearing up who was in the photos and sharing some more! I can certainly see why you initially wanted Eugenia but still had the liking of Marianne as well. Must have been fate that you got them both through that little bit of a mistake on their end. Maybe not a mistake in the grand scheme of things though, but possibly a blessing for you. Glad everything was able to work out for the better, that you had a good interaction with the Dollmore staff, and that the wait for their dolls have been worth it overall. Keep on enjoying Leiya and Miya for as long as you can and best of luck with your layaway!

[/QUOTE] Eugenia sculpt is very special to me, but Marianne is also heart robbing girl with her beautiful features. I noticed that Marrianne head is slightly bigger than Eugenia one, but both fit well on dollmore trinity body, for both i choose small chest option, flat feet. As for layway, just when i thought that i am safe from other dolls, dollmore listed a new boy! But i have to stay strong, my girl need to be completed. Then i can finally enjoy both girls together. I also think that the mistake was a scheme of my girls, trinity dolls seems to like to be in group, other owners told me this
Thank you ^_^ i am in love with trinity girls, are very beautiful. I noticed too, i don't know why photos doesn't show anymore, but i read here about such issue i think.
I saw a notification it must be something with the site Doa many pics stopped showing hope it will be fixed soon!!! When you 'll have them both can't wait to see them together!!!!
Thank you...i also cannot wait to be able to complete Miya and have both together, i need to pay Miya's body and eyes f6aster, but in january i just bouth a doll for them a Myou sleepy angel. I need to save more.
Oh those resin temptations it's only natural they had to have their own doll !! My big dolls like the reinas of paola reina and my size disney have dolls too and those have smaller ones and it goes like the babushka doll but they just can't be put one inside the other lol !! Back in the day I was baffled by people thinking there are souls inside bjd but now I am certainly persuaded and can swear that troublesome fairies live inside them and demand more dolls to have company and make money vanish!!! ...I can certainly wait till she arrives they will be awesome together !!!!!
Yes, i also think that dolls have souls inside and they pull others one after another. In fact, even since i got to know a little about bjd dolls, i started with dolls that i cannot speak of here, i had no idea about anything then, but ....always, the dolls i bought home i felt like somehow with souls, i felt like they are connected together. Yet, since Leiya is with me, i felt this feeling stronger than ever...i cannot explain, but i feel so wonderful about her...like i don't need any doll anymore, like she is perfect no matter if has faceup, is floppy, no matter what clothes she wear, she bring me tremenduous joy. I never felt like this with any other doll before, not even with Zhao Yun, that i was crazy to get him and i received him few days ago. I was happy, he is amazingly beautiful...but things were different with Leiya...maybe is the size, maybe 1/2 is the perfect size for me.
Yes 1/2 is a size with such potential, i believe it's a combination of size sculpt and aesthetic. I believe the more time passes the more you will love and cherish Leiya she is an amazing doll!!!!!
Thank you so much, yes, Leiya is very special and i am sure that my love for her will grow over the years. So bad that this site doesn't show photos, would have been nice to share a bit more.
Yes it is a shame I usualy put a link to my public google drive or google photos folders so one can click on it and see the pic this works well for me
That's a good idea, will try to find a solution for this too, it's a pity that we cannot share here directly.
