I hope it's okay for me to start this discussion thread for Marchen Waltz ~ I did a search and found NO threads dedicated to these amazing dolls!!! They are currently offering a new doll, Aimee. She has a 9" head and fits on Infinity Doll SD13 body (that comes with her when you purchase the complete doll). Marchen Waltz says that the heads also fit on Volks SD bodies as well. Aimee looks like she jumped out of a Mark Ryden painting! Very interesting face! I just purchased a "Clair" head ~ also 9" ~ (with the choice "D" faceup) and one of their gorgeous wigs. I plan on using a Volks body for my work of art! Can't wait to see her in person.... And ~ looking forward to seeing perhaps a fan-base for their dolls grow on my thread, here.

Hi dear~ I love Aimee >_<!!! first time I saw her I was like "OMG maybe this my time to have girl BJD" *lol* But I just ordering Switch head @_@ too bad,,, I shouldn't buy new doll again this month. Oh Clair is amazing!! and their face up skill is very good too~ Looking forward to see some photo of her
Thank you for starting this thread!! I too fell in love with Aimee's dark little pout as soon as I saw her. I'll be interested in seeing your Clair too, FrankieCat! I may have to order Aimee for myself if I can manage to scrape some funds together. I just love her whole aesthetic.
Awesome! We have a Marchen Waltz group, now! Thanks for joining me, BabyJJ and Sylphide. BabyJJ, Aimee would be a nice addition to your family of guys ~ she certainly would bring alot of attention! Imagine the stories... Sylphide, I can't wait to see some real life pix of Aimee. I really hope you get her! She is so unique! I may have to get her, too one day. :-) I'm curious about the Infinity body. I love their HANDS! (so much nicer than my Volks) I wonder what other bodies would work? I only have one other SD body besides my Volks ones ~ Peak's Woods. If others are out here with these dolls, maybe they could shed some additional light on body compatibility.
Oh my goodness... Aimee is lovely. You're so right, FrankieCat, she does resemble a Mark Ryden character. Maybe that's why I'm so taken with her. She's odd and mysterious and... I dunno... there's something about her. Does anyone know if Marchen Waltz accepts layaway orders? I might HAVE to get Aimee.
Yes, they do! Pay in thirds (1/3 upon ordering, and 1/3 the next month, and 1/3 the last month) NICE!!!
I put my head, etc. on a two month layaway! (so much easier than the whole chunk at once) I am super happy and now am .... waiting.... Wish I could see someone's dolls! (I know ~ new company) Looking forward to who arrives first!!!
Thank you, FrankieCat! I think I'll do the 3 payments layaway option. I just started a new job so I'll have to wait to be paid. I can't wait to see owner pictures.
Pixelity, will it be Aimee?? (that would be SO cool!!!) I am so curious to see how she is in owner photos... I know what you mean about the job thing. (congratulations, by the way!)
My Clair (head) is paid in full and they said she will ship in two weeks ~ so I will have my fabulous girl by November! (now .... who's body will she use?) I hope someone here gets her soon so I can see one~!!!
My Clair has shipped!! Won't be long... I'm hoping she arrives with the faceup I requested. We shall soon see!
I look forward to you getting your head. I'm considering ordering from them but I want to hear from some owners first.
I was shocked that she arrived so FAST!!! She was mailed only 2 days ago! (how'd they do that??) I am overjoyed with how beautiful and special she is! She has such a wonderfully sculpted and painted face ~ she is already my favorite doll. Easily. I've never seen another BJD like her! She fits very well (and resin match is perfect) on my Volks Pureskin Normal SD13 girl body. To me, she is very child-like and SO captivating! I hope you all like her and consider bringing her home, too. You won't be disapointed! (I will post more photos in the Gallery) Thanks!
She's adorable, love those lips. I'd love to see more resin match photos with the volks body too, pretty please Frankie Cat
Sure! Wait till tomorrow, please ~ that way I can get the shots in natural light. Just a note: I am super picky about resin match. And this match is dead-on. The body is a couple of years old, but doesn't have visible yellowing. I can also take shots of her with the hair off her forehead so you can see the lovely eyebrows, too. I asked for darker brows and lashes on my girl, and they delivered. VERY happy with her! I can't get over how drawn to her I am! Gonna have some fun with this lovely girl!
Here's a couple of shots I took today showing the eyebrows and also her coloring/match to my Volks body. I did notice a bit of difference after all in the coloring once I got her into natural light. Although it's not a perfect match, it's not bad either. I think my Volks girl body has taken on that "Volks patina"! Oh well. Hope the photos help.
Hello~ I would like to introduce myself. I've just ordered a Ydike on layaway and very happy to hear if anyone else has ordered from the Christmas event? I would love photos and pictures!
Oooh, cool! I would have loved to order a Lucid Dream Rein fullset, but my dollie funds were appropriated elsewhere over the holidays... And of course now, I don't think I'd be able to have enough before he's gone. But, I do think regular Rein is quite gorgeous, so I think he may be on my wishlist now!
I wanted the Cheshire cat set but they sold out before I got one ^^; I think the Rein and Ydike are available until feb?
Hey Everyone! I'm huge fan of Marchen Waltz doll, their sculpt really unique and cute I bought Meryl set, they just send my Meryl few days ago...They helped me too for sent the head part to face up artist in China...I can't for my doll finish!
namika I can't wait for her faceup finished, I should waiting 2-3 weeks again lol , I never seen Meryl in this forum before...*__*
I want to buy the dream Aimee, does anyone know what bodies they can fit on? I have a leekeworld girl body, or does it really have to be a volks SD10?
I know Marchen Waltz and Infiniti has the same resin so that means it would match Luts resin also if that's helpful in any way
Duofan I have Marchen Waltz Meryl on Leeke World Girl body, ^^ It match perfectly, ( skin tone and proportion ) They match too on infiniti body.. but the proportion too curvy for Aimee I hope it help hehe
Gah too late for me to buy a leekeworld Girl Body. I only have one and I really want Ceylon and Aimee >_> @ Agashi but thanks for the tip it really helps!! I know for Infinitidoll but it's too curvy >.<
^^ Ur welcome~ The Sleeping Head of Aimee really2 adorable... *__* I want her but I don't want floating hoad in my house XD
How I wish they would rerelease ydike.... I want him/her as a girl. It's torture seeing the doll on the site.
I'm sorry ^^; If I ever see one on the MP I'll send a note but there seems to not be very many. Maybe Yahoo Japan auctions?
I don't think it is a Japanese company is it? When korean companies or Chinese - they very rarely show up on YJ from what I have seen. Maybe the korean version of YJ? ... never been there myself, or a auction site in Korea... thinks..
I've been browsing and I can't find a one for sale like anywhere ^^; I wonder how many were actually sold?
I am guessing Ydike was not a popular one! I did ask the company if they might rerelease and the reply was very strange they said maybe on the TEN year aniversary !!! TEN years... they have only been open two years isn't it? ........
I know it was kinda silly! Hey I have waited a long time for certain dolls but 10 years from now you know LOL. I think I have more luck with someone selling to me before then!
*hugs* I know how hard it can be trying to find a limited head I'm hoping to buy the sleeping Aimee head late August~ She is adorable
^^ My Sleeping Aime done from faceup~ I adore her dreamy face *photo by the face up artist And now I'm waiting for her arrival
TreeLore I remember you asking me questions about my ydike. I did compare here to my friends SD13 and she was pretty good match. i still prefer the Infinitidoll body instead http://www.infinitidoll.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=31&zenid=f0dcb49931fdf999b6e2ed0e2f5411e2 Maybe why people didn't respond well to Ydike is you couldn't order the default make-up? or maybe the default didnt give her justice? I bought mine in the middle of the ordering period and she was the 4th one made. She really is a beautiful mold i picked type c girls make-up marchen waltz gives the best company make-up jobs i think Anyways good luck with your quest to find ydike^^ i'm sure one will pop up in the market sometime. I was told once that I'd never find a Dream or Doll black Camine because on 10 where made and it took a couple years and i finally got one.
Is anybody here in the U.S. thinking about ordering Peko when the ordering period starts? If so, can you pm me, I'd like to get one as well and wouldn't mind sharing the shipping charge!
