Good god, I want this doll. x_x I've Quinn, and he's one of my most gorgeous dolls, and I bet this new elf-guy would look amazing with him. ;_;
Let me add my thanks to Byakko and all of the other Russians who have offered to help as well! I'm quite eager for more information on this beauty as well! Ohhh Dollzone, shall I just start having my paycheck deposited straight in your account?
He looks like a open eye version of Hong to me, but then again this guy is just handsome, too bad I can't get him.
Azraelita, Jamisama: Well, the time of waiting is the only problem in my case. Dolls, ordered via Dollslife are often dirty, ‘cause in the shop they are being unpacked when buyers wish to look at them life. In the whole people here rarely order dolls via this shop, for there are lots of complaints about it. The only advantage is that russians can just come there and buy a doll right away. Besides, I hope such doll as the one limited for Russia will be treated more carefully.
He is gorgeous. I want to see more picture of him. Y_Y if he is limited doll, I will never ever get him
What an amazing doll. I love him. He would be perfect for my Ian as I was never able to get Quinn. I just hope he will be available outside of Russia.
I really hope that I'll be able to get this doll somehow, because I really, really do like it. Let's keep our fingers crossed for this one!
And we have the price. =D Fullset - 700$ The edition is not limited for now, but "they'll see for later". He should be available through the Russian dealer only. You can choose the skin tone (tan - +80$) And they think that maybe it'll be possible to buy him without outfit.
Hes not limited! O_O D: Im going to hope it stays like that. The fullset might be limited. Like Reiko though.
Holy jeez... $700 is a lot, but I think I'd definitely pay it to get him... I hope he stays un-limited too... xD;
Nekomi_Minosuke: FULL SET! That means the clothes wig and la di da too. The 72 cm dolls themselves run around 630 dollars for their basic fullsets. Really to me that is not bad at ALL. Its making it really hard on what im doing. Im thinking I need a poll for decision help. @^@
As it stands I don't know what kind of deal they'd be doing with layaway, and if it's even an option... I don't have $700 just sitting around right now... ><; I REALLY want the fullset though ><;
Compared to SOOM monthlies, he's a steal!!! If I can find a way, I'll slap him on a credit card and pretend I have the money!
All my lady-dollies are going ga-ga over this guy! I'm so glad he's not limited--Means I can maybe afford him if someone sells him without the outfit. He's simply stunning, really. I like the way DZ does their male dolls but never really did consider getting one. Now I see this guy and I'm in love! Doesn't help all the girlies I have are crushing, too. ;DDDD Anyone else just gonna call him Ivan if they decide to buy him? Seems like a more than fitting name. x3
Nice to see more pics, well Im calmed now, I dont need him The hole on the glove from the special hand with the gemstone looks strange
It now says that Ivan is available for order. The price is 650$ plus shipping for international orders. There is no option for chosing the skincolor as far as I can see. As I don't speak any Russian and the translation program was not so great. Could someone please tell me which buttons to press in order to order Ivan. I already managed to register. Thanks a lot!
Thankfully the full-view pics have saved my wallet. The hands are super-neat, but the rest of him is just doesn't do it for me. I was hoping for something so much more with the outfit especially.
crystalenchantress- How did you register? I wasn't able to get it to take my e-mail, even though I translated the page...
The full-viewed shots saved my money too. But that's great there's a group order. Now anyone who wants him can get him.
I think the photo is gorgeous, but I'm not so sure about the doll. I hope and think it is at the same quality. Well, I look at the chinese web and didn't found him. I mean dollzone is a Chinese company,why don't they post it on the Chinese web? And it can't be traded.........
kaytsze: they did post it on the chinese website (the link is on the page before this one). Dollzone isn't traditionally run like the other doll companies. They have make you order through a dealer. Dollzone also promotes there stuff a lot through exclusives and its perfectly fine that they decided russia deserved a limited fullset too. :] Other places tend to get their dolls exclusively so I am actually glad another country is getting some love. Dollzone has a good rep for quality and unlike other doll companies that charge for sanding, they do it as part of their system. Most of my dolls are dollzone, and not just price but I like their sculpts a lot.
Hmmm.... I decided to take the plunge and order him, as I'm a sucker for elves and I love the ones Dollzone makes, but I have run into a snag. Registered on site - check Clicked to put doll in cart - check Clicked on button to check out and.... nothing. Is there supposed to be a traditional, fill in your shipping/billing addys and your payment type page to show up after clicking to check out, or am I doing something wrong?
The cart system doesn't work on Dollslife forum. It is only there to... I really don't know what for. Maybe it works as a wishlist. Anyway international buyers still has no opportunity to pay for the doll even if they will manage to order it.
Mmm I don't agree on the part of good reputation for quality but indeed they deliver their dolls very nicely sanded. I would love to see more of the outfit. I hope they will bring out some more clothing for the big guys in a less leather look and more fantasy.

You have to click on this link in order to activate Your registration. That's it. I hope, I explained everything clearly. Good luck!
@ MistressMyaje I wrote an email to dollslife. They said that ordering is only possible starting March 20th. The shopping cart is up but it won't work until then. Hope that helps.
I totally need those hands for my Arawn ;-; this is not fair! Even though I love the normal DZ hands too, these are just perfect! The overall look of him is very nice, though the ears are a bit to big for my taste. But he has a lovely elfish face.
Im ressurecting this post since I could find anything more recent and I didnt want to start a new post since this was here. Mods, please correct me if I am wrong Anyway, did anyone get Ivan? I think Im in love again. But I have no idea how to order him >_> Not that I can really afford it anyway.....but yeah. Anyone? Thanks ^_^
I'm curious too. Was a member, in Russia, about to buy one of the Limited Edition Ivan BJD's. It isn't that I want to buy the doll, I find it interesting that Russia would have their own limited edition BJD. And, I hope more Russian BJD's will be displayed on this website.
There was a group order but there were communication issues with Me and the person and no one responded if they were getting him or not in there. I am not sure who else ordered him, but I did. I am actually getting mine shipped on the 20th I hope. Ive waited a good bit as the processing time for Dollzone is about a month or two. To order him on your own Here is what I had to do to do so. If you guys want to order him... the people at dollslife are really nice and helpful, if you email them and ask them to help you order they will be glad to. And you can get the doll to ship directly from china to your home. Shipping full set for Ivan or the doll without full set is 65 dollars to The US. If you are in another country, Contact Dollzone sales, Sunny will reply, and she will let you know how much a 70cm will cost to ship where you live. If you are ordering just clothes definitely ask Dollzone how much it will cost for shipping as it will vary. Sunny usually takes around two to three days to respond, so if she doesnt get to you really fast, don't fret. She gets lots of emails I am sure. Make sure when you email the sales representatives at Dollslife to let them know exactly what you want, as well the shipping price from china to your home, and give them your address and wait for them to confirm and get payment arranged. They usually take about two days or so to get back to you. Here is the Ivan link to purchase him through site. If you have a hard time figuring out what to do, contact dollslife through email and talk with a representative they will get you squared away. Their email: [email protected] http://www.dollslife.ru/news/2190/ In order to view the dolls forsale, you have to be signed into as a member on Dollslife. So make sure you sign up. If you use a translator on the site it will not let you easily sign up for ordering because the translator really screws up the coding, or even allow you to go through the pages easy. I had to have the russian page open separately, as well as the translator page so i could see what I was doing and set up the account on the Russian side. If you are in the translator and try to post enter to sign up, it will not work and will refresh the page. YOU HAVE TO DO IT WHILE IN RUSSIAN. Payment to dollslife as listed is through visa or mastercard. I AM in no way trying to sell him or set up an ordering system in this thread, I am merely trying to help others order him for themselves. If you need anymore help as I have ordered him myself, just send me a pm alright? I know how frustrating this all is being in a different country and unsure what to do. I hope this helps everyone! :3
