Mindulrae/Dandelion by Bimong

I keep thinking that I should sell one of the Dandelions but after sorting thru clothes I have for them...can't bring myself to sell any of them. I hope Bimong does sell Dandelion heads in April. I like the head I have on the body but would be nice to have the Dandelion head too. Here is my Dandelion body with AOD head.

 

what kind of eyes have you guys found for your dandelions? I've 12s and 10s, and the 10s are better, but i think she still needs a smaller iris and a flatter, wider white. There's so many eye makers out there these days, there's bound to be something, right?

@jo1961 your hybrid girl is so cute!

 

I have these in my Dandelion: Doll Eyes: #FG High Quality Glass Flat Eyes-10mm: CHOICE of color. | eBay

Sorry! No picture available right now.

 

Everyone has such beautiful Dandelions!!!

@Lirin I use 12mm Small iris, Low-dome eyes for my Dandelion from Doll Bakery~

I have to get around to taking photos of that as well as the Dandelion head on the Dollstown Elf body!

 

thanks for the tips on eyes I've been wanting some doll bakery eyes but they never seem to be available. looking at small iris glass eyes for now.

I finished Yarrow's new faceup, and I'm fairly happy with it, but regret losing the old one :/ I haven't gotten any good pics of her yet because it's been raining solidly for days now, and i don't have room to set up the 'studio' atm. Here's a phone snapshot though, sorry for the quality
New faceup for Yarrow. Just phone pics for now, hope the weather clears sometimes soon. by victorian ennui, on Flickr

 

@Lirin Yarrow looks very beautiful! I love how natural her faceup is~

 

Stunning. The lips are beautifully translucent and a perfect hue. I love the texture of the French resin. It looks more like skin.

 

@Lirin Your new face-up is lovely - gives her a very gentle look. And your doll has not yellowed as much as mine - but still love this first doll as she is more child like.
I ordered a head from Poland for my normal body (as Bimong has not listed heads for sale as he promised me and I really do not know what his new normal color is? anyway) but this head came with a lovely face-up BUT it is what I would call normal/yellow. My body is normal pink and the difference really shows up in photos. I am a bit discouraged by bimong's lack of a regular time table so will probably sell off my one head and body separately. Makes me sad as I liked the other head (AOD NUX) I found that worked with the body too.
I tried the new head on some of my other adult bodies but as they are 58cm & up...looked awful. Completely out of scale. I think bimong is making the new head to work with his 58cm body.
My three Dandelions

The first Dandelion introduced thru Dollfair just looks younger to me. She is my favorite and is like Lirin's.

 

I just made my dandelion girl her own alpaca wig, and realized again that her body is just a bit awkward in proportion with her head/her face is more 12 year old with a body that's like a 6 year old. I tried her on the elf body again, and it's still wrong for her. But then I tried her on my Seola's dt 7 Year body, and it was incredible. For the first time her head is actually in proportion. The color is a mismatch of course, Old Narindoll Oriental French is different than 2012 Dollstown Oriental. The body's hands are blushed, though and with clothes and the right light, it's not super noticeable for the time being.

Does anyone in this thread have Dollshecraft Honey Peach Fresh? I feel like that might be in the right neighborhood. Yarrow absolutely needs her own 7year body *____* (although I would never sell her original, but it would be great to be able to go back and forth.... it turned out that the Dollstown head looked big but extremely cute on the Dandelion body, too, so there's lots of possibilities!)

@jo1961 I'm sorry you have a mismatch situation with you new head.... how frustrating. do you still have that AOD head? she was beautiful too, reminded me very, very much of Or-doll/Nyx's Lethe head. I have a Lethe head, and it's another oddball proportion head. it would probably look great on the 2nd Dandelion body, shame he doesn't sell those anymore! ;__; and thanks! I like the little original girls too

 

I wonder if anyone here can tell me the neck circumference of the Dandelion body? On Bimongs page the neck circumference isn't listed...

My poor Dandelion head is still without a body... but I hope I can get one for her soon, she's too cute to be just a floating head.

 

Your Dandelion is too cute to be without a body! I just measured and come up with roughly 8cm, give or a take a mm or so. Hope this helps.

 

Thank you so much for your help! I was hoping to find a MSD body for my poor floating head that'd work- maybe a boy body actually... but gosh, it sure can be tricky sometimes to create hybrids!!^^

 

Hello! Love this sculpt)
And here is my Dandelion)

 

@Tatty - she is adorable. Wonderful photograph too.

 

I continue to watch for a Dandelion head that will work with my Dandelion body but no luck yet. I did find a felted outfit that fit my Dandelion body and it is adorable on her. this came from a seller on Etsy.

And my girl in her new outfit:

 

I have a floating Dandelion head waiting for a body. I found the hands just too big for my liking and sold the body on. This sculpt will make a wonderful hybrid....I just need to find the right body!

 

Do you have any specific body in mind for your floating Dandelion head? I have had my poor Dandelion head for almost a year now and I still haven't figured out what body that will work for her..

 

No, I don't I am afraid. She worked quite well on the Kaye Wiggs Tobi body scale wise but not in colour on the fair resin (sorry neglected to photo her on it prior to selling the body) and the D.C. kid body was too thin for my liking, so I am currently in limbo!

 

In the July news, Bimong included this item:

Also I'm going to prepare the limited edition decided full option concept for Dandelion new 51~52cm body & new faces in August.
​

I think the new large body has taken more time than he anticipated, so it might not be in August!

 

I like my Dandelion with the original body. It is different from all my other BJD and I like that. It does make it difficult to find clothes but you might just have to do a custom outfit and get the sewing machine going. I found a nice antique dress forDandelion antique dress for my girl. I tried to post the picture here but I guess Flick has changed or DOA has changed on how to do this. I will try and post the link to my flickr instead. I hate changes.

I have found lots of outfits that work form oufits for 14" to 16" dolls. Ebay, Dollheart, Etsy, MSD size and Florence and George for antique looking clothing. Here are some outfits (I have about 50 outfits for her).

I can use the url from IMG to IMG when posting on threads, but when I post on the marketplace I have to remove the img and post what is between the img. Sometimes I have trouble with that too.

 

My Dandelion is on Dollstown elf body.
I like this hybrid) It fits great.

 

@Tatty She is lovely. The face-up is amazing - soft - beautiful. Great photo too.

 

The Dollstown body suits her perfectly. And her face-up! her skin is like porcelain! definitely a classic beauty.

 

@jo1961,
@devinyl,
Thank you!
I like her very much!

 

She looks wonderful on that body Tatty! What colour resin is the Dollstown body...I shall keep an eye out for one myself? Maybe my girl will be able to look down and see some feet again this year now!

 

Hi, just wondering If any of you noticed that Bimong is creating a new 6.5 Dandelion head to be used with the new Narae 40 body. Too bad it is limited edition and, if I am not mistaken, 300 dollars!

 

Yes, that was mentioned on the Narae thread also. I will wait for final details, but I doubt that a $300 head will be coming here.

 

Tatty she is stunning!! May I ask who did her face up?

 

The 7.5 Dandelion head and the full Dandelion is up for sale on Art Bimong again. I finally will have a Dandelion head for my body. Yeah!

 

Eeeee just two more days until the new 6.5 Dandelion head goes up for sale!! Who's buying?

 

Guys I just noticed that the listing for the new Mindulrae 6.5inch head is up on Bimong's website (not on sale just yet) but the design on the head is different...just a little confused, my belief was that it would be the same as the original dandelion heads. Any thoughts?

 

The original was a child's head, so i guess this is the grown up version. The 60 cm version is much closer to the original head. The new head goes on sale at midnight Korean time. About 10 hours from now.

 

Hi! New here! I'm interested in a Dandelion head for a Dollstown elf body. I notice that there are a 7.5" size and a 7.8" size on the Bimong website and I just want to confirm which is the correct head to get. I think the 7.8" head is new, so I'm assuming the photos I have seen on here and on flickr show the 7.5" head on the elf body but was hoping someone here might be able to confirm.

 

Oh no, now I'm nervous!
I bought the 6.5 inch head, and while I did think it looked a little different from the prior Dandelions, I'm really hoping she'll turn out just as pretty as the ones that came before her.

 

Hi! Sorry to jump in unexpectedly but I was wondering whether the head in the picture is the Dandelion 60 head or the smaller version ^^ I have a Dandelion head and I was thinking this body would look perfect on her

 

@Haiiro Kun My Dandelion head is the smaller MSD version :3

 

Thanks for such a swift reply! :O The head I bought is the SD version, which has a neck circumference of about 9.8cm. Do you think there would be too much gapping to even consider this body as an option? :s

 

@Haiiro Kun I'm not sure if the body would work as I'm not familiar with the SD version of Dandelion- sorry

 

No worries ^^ I'll keep researching

 

latest video on Bimong's instagram is my Dandelion head, No. 1/100.

*cue internal and external screaming*

 

Is she NS or white? I just watched the video a few minutes ago!

 

NS! Though I thought she looked rather white as well haha. Must be the lighting!

 

The new normal skin is paler!

 

Please excuse the silly question, but has the resin changed recently? Or do you mean in comparison to the original Dandelion?

 

It has changed recently. All of my "new" dolls are lighter. I bought several heads before the new bodies were available and the do not match the new bodies. The change in NS is the most noticeable so those heads will probably stay with their temporary bodies. I will try to get some comparison pictures soon. .

 

omg nooooooooooo. I was planning on putting her on a soulkid body. Thank god I read this today because I was planning to buy it this week. Do you know of any alternatives? I have no idea when Bimong will be releasing another run of the 40cm body...

 

I second the oh noooooo! I was also planning a Souldoll-Bimong hybrid

@nancy_schroeder_ca any comparison photos you can provide would be much appreciated

 

It matches Supia NS quite well: Here is Supia Sujin on the new Narae body


I think Bimong is planning to release bodies soon. I just got my new 65cm Narin so that project is finished!

 

My Dandelion on her DT elf body.

 

she's incredibly beautiful! May I ask where you found those stunning eyes? They have sort of a caramel color *o*

 

@rianne She is lovely!

 

@Haiiro Kun Thank you! they're masterpiece silicone. Dark oriental is the color I think.

@nancy_schroeder_ca Thank you!

 

@rianne Awww, she's so pretty! her faceup is stunning!

Here is my Dandelion, Tess, who happily comes along to museums:
