I just ordered in May and shipment to USA - North Carolina is $120.00.

 

I'm in love with her!I hope one day can order her!

 

Can anyone tell me her measurements? I've heard she is very thin. Would like to see how she is compared to other dolls her size.... Please...

 

Oh! Congrats on your order!! Once you enter this topic is hard to leave without thinking on purchasing one hahah.
The wait should be quicker than three months... I think, unless she told you otherwise. Mine arrived within 1 month only. Still felt like a looong wait
I would love to see your pics when she arrives!
Also [MENTION=19551]MadamMauMau[/MENTION] stunning pics as always, love the lightning

 

Also about this... I don't have her around now, but I took some measures (in cm) a while ago:



Well, in case it's too small, the neck says 4 cm diameter, the shoulders 7 cm, without the arms it's 3.9 cm, and from the base of the neck to the nipple is 4 cm.
I didn't do waist, etc. but I guess you can get the idea

PS: Sorry for the double post.

 

Oh my gosh! Such an artfully sculpted doll! It's so unique, too! Usually, I only like the typical human dolls, but the Sphinx is really, really beautiful!! ^.^

 

Hybris: thank you so much.

 

I thought also just this,Oh My gosh!! How could be so breathtaking beautiful!

 

QUESTION: My Sphinx has shipped but the shipping service is one I have never heard of. The cost of shipping was very high and I wondered if anyone else was familar with Dimex shipping? So far it has been 4 days in Russia and looks as if it might be on it's way to US today - hopefully. It is in Plotnikova, Russia as of noon Russian time. Please let me know if you are familiar with this company. I have been a bit worried as a few have said that their doll arrived broken. For the $125.00 shipping cost one would think this company delivered super fast and carefully.

 

I guess this thread is not very busy but I will share what is going on as I am worried and the artist has not responded to my email. I understand that the company she used is a British company and I have now written them also. The package left Moscow and instead of heading west to the US went East across Russia and now shows delivery to a small Russian town on the coast. I have checked the tracking number she gave me and it is correct. What else can one do but email the shipping company and the artist?

 

Thank you for the deep breath of calm..I was not feeling very calm. I just got a note from Tatyana and it looks like she sent me the incorrect tracking number and will send me the correct tracking number on Monday. Apparently she sent two dolls off the same day and one went to Plotnikova Russia with the tracking number she gave me. Hopefully I will have the correct number by Monday and just maybe the doll is already in customs. I hope so...struggling with a very old and ill German Shepherd that we may have to euthanize this coming week. Probably why I was hyperventilating at the thought of a loss doll. Rather silly I guess. Perspective...thank you MadamMauMau!

 

Well, Tatyana had told me the doll would arrive on Tuesday - did not - I had to spend hours finding out who the carrier was once the doll left Dimex. DHL took the package in Germany and told me it would be delivered today. Still no package and when I check DHL tracking it is being held in CINCINNATI! It seems that it sat at the Moscow post for several days, not sure why as it had time to be sent on before the Russian Holiday. I have learned that the shipper (Dimex) that Tatyana uses only ships in eastern Europe so if you are sending something westward it goes to another shipper which Tatyana did not seem to know about or at least did not inform me. Also when it reaches DHL (in Germany) a waybill number is given for tracking. Once I knew that DHL had it - at least I could then track the package. We will see how long it sits i Cincinnati.

 

I am upset but for these reasons:
First, had she chosen EMS I would have had tracking - it would have been here in 6 days (unless held up in customs but at least I would know it was there) and the cost would not have been $125.00. (Although EMS has just had a big increase.) Second, if I am paying this amount to have a small item shipped, I expect to have good tracking. The tracking number she gave me the first time was not the correct tracking number. *We can all make mistakes, I understand that. That item was delivered in Russia in 4 days. Second, if she is going to use this expensive Dimex service (that only delivers in Eastern Europe) than she should know that the tracking number will change once it leaves Eastern Europe and she should provide the new tracking number to her customers. I sell on Ebay and if I am sending a package with costly shipping..you had better believe that I am tracking that package from this end too. I had to spend hours finding what happen to the package after it left Moscow. I was never provided with the company that took the package from Dimex or the new waybill tracking number. Also, there is a Dimex shipping located in Charleston SC - also global but has nothing to do with the Russian Dimex. I ended up speaking with the owner of that company - he called me after my email as he was worried one of his shipments went astray. He does not ship to Russia and knew nothing about a shipping company by the same name in Russia.

I called DHL on Tuesday - package was still in Germany - but they said that it was to be overnight to the US and I should have the package on Wednesday. For some reason the package was held up in Cincinnati, Ohio. This mornings tracking said that they could not give me a delivery date. I once again called them and was told that the package is now in Greensboro, NC and should be delivered today. I must sign for the package or a note will be left where I can pick it up. Our DHL service here is not very good, so I have typed out large notes on the garage door - where DHL usually dumps our packages and another note on the front screened in porch door asking them to please leave the package inside the screened porch as I may be outside with my German Shepherd and would not hear the door bell. DHL - advised me to do this. My last communication with Tatyana was on Tuesday showing the package was in Germany but she did not give me the new tracking number.

Someone on this thread said their doll arrived broken and they did not think it was packed very well. Tatyana told me the reason she no longer will use EMS was that they broke her dolls. Perhaps the problem with the item being broken may be that she is not packing the dolls well? I am embarrassed to say that I have over 65 resin dolls - most sent EMS from S. Korea, China and France. I have only had 2 dolls arrive with damage and then only a broken finger and one with a cracked ankle. (That one was strung too tight - not the fault of EMS). Personally, had I realized that she was not using EMS, I may not have ordered the doll in the first place. Amazing doll, very talented artist - poor shipping and communication.

 

The doll has arrived and other than a damaged box and a small chip on one ear she is beautiful and worth the wait. But she was not packed well. I know because my father taught porcelain doll making and often sold his dolls for shipment. I helped him pack up dolls and learned so much. He would have used baby diapers - one would have gone around those beautiful and ever so thin ears. The hands and feet would have been separately wrapped and then the whole doll would have been wrapped enough that it would not move in the box. Then the doll box would have been put inside a more sturdy box for shipping instead of into a plastic bag for shipping. Photos of this wonderful doll and her shipping box.

 

She is gorgeous.

 

yes. she is very gorgeous. that is terrible news about her ear .

 

My box was very damaged too, put into a plastic bag like that instead of another box was not a good choice, I agree. The doll was intact but the risks are high. I just waited without checking trackings and the time she arrived at home without customs or anything it was a wonderful surprise... otherwise I would probably have gone mental.

Anyway she is home now, and beautiful as always. Sorry about her ear but you don't even notice from the picture

 

New glad rags for my girl


This is without a doubt my favorite bjd.

 

jo1961: she looks like a million dollars all done up like that!

 

Thank you Cat. I really do adore her.

 

Sorry but yet another post. I took a chance and ordered a few outfits from Iplehouse for the KID size - and they fit!

 

Thank you MadamMauMau. The girl has such a personality, I am surprised she had not pushed her way out of that box. I have some Tonner Wilde clothes left - going to try them too. I will let you know how that works.

 

She's lovely!And good to know wich clothes fit for her!

 

Hello. I am curious as to what eye size fits her and which one looks best? I think she is so stunning.

 

I wish I had managed to get the black sphinx while it was available. I'm smitten with that kitten!

 

This is such a gorgeous doll! Thank you for the thread and the Fabulous photos!

 

I am curious if anyone has tried to put the sphinx head on a boy msd body? I was considering buying the sphinx, and just putting the head on a msd body.

 

Has anyone got any new sphinx dolls? Please show pictures.

 

chrystal, here is Pussy wearing a hat by Allison Wonder. Her paint is by Redastor.

 

Oh she is so adorable.

 

Hello everybody! I received my girl couple of days ago! She is amazing! I would like to share with you the pictures of my Ethel
[/URL]

 

She is gorgeous

 

Lino4ka: she is wonderful! How big is she?

 

Does she have the same body as the sphinx?

 

Oh, thank you!

 

she is 36 cm

 

I never had the sphinx so I cannot tell for sure, but comparing with the pictures it seems yes

here are the measurements


KIOMI in resin

 

Which sculpt is she

 

Kiomi
on the official website of Tatyana Triffonova you can see all the sculpts, among them are the newest Kiomi and Mioki.

 

My girlfriend told me that the sphinx was a 3D computerized sculpt. Has anyone else heard this rumor? Does anyone know if the sphinx is a computer sculpt or a hand sculpt?

 

The rumor supposedly started with a woman in England who has some connection to the doll magazine industry. I have argued and argued against the Triffony stuffs being 3D and supposedly this woman insists that she is "in the know" and that it is. The rumor further states that this England woman got the information from the Triffony artist herself.

So, I was wondering if anyone could really contact the artist and set that rumor straight. I do not care if the Sphinx is 3D, but I do not believe that it is, and I would just like to know for sure.

 

I also have this beautiful lady - without any problems fortunately!
more pictures are in a gallery /threads/my-little-creature-mrau-nudity-triffony-artwork-sphinx.702599/

 

Pempek, she is just beautiful. Her face just blows me away. I would love to have her rabbit too but I just don't wish to go thru the shipping again but she is my favorite BJD and the artist is certainly gifted.

 

Your little lady is so gorgeous Pempek, huge congratulations! Is she painted by the artist?
I am pleased to say I have recently ordered Mioki and she should be ready in about a month.....I can hardly wait!

 

Hello to everybody!

 

I love your girl Lino4ka. What is her name?

 

Oh, thank you so much! the name given by Tatiana is Kiomi, I named her Ethel

 

It suits her. She is lovely.

 

Thank you!

 

Damn... I just saw this on her FB and I am getting really excited!!! it looks so cool! *O*
