Sorry for the SPAM, but I just did my first "real" photoshoot with my Bellosse yesterday, and I'm so excited!

CREEPY WARNING ~Friends Indeed~ (DiM Bellosse) + First Photoshoot+

[blackcat87]

I know this is a few weeks late (I haven't had much time to visit good old DOA lately) but spam away Red-Delerium! I LOVE the photos you posted and your style I have been struggling with taking the plunge and getting my own Bellosse, but looking at everyone else's makes it so difficult not to, I just adore her!

[Red_Delerium]

Hey blackcat87 -
Long time - no chat! I may be biased *ahem*, but I just love my Bellosse, and I have a feeling you would, too! I'm so happy that I have her - IMHO, she's the best sculpt out there...
Ah, enough of my Bellosse-pushing...

[binks333]

">">">just wanted to show her off i dont see her sculpt much....the sight just does not do her justice

[Sylphide]

Bringing this thread back to life...just received a lovely Cordelia from Ebay only to discover that none of my shoes fit her!! So I will try the DM model shoes...are there any others that might fit? And let's see some more pics, please!!

I'm bringing the LOVE back Since September I have a beautiful Angelo, he's always been my dream doll. The problem is that his body refuses to pose, stand or even sit straight. Do any of you have had this problem and how you solved it? Because I've been searching and I've found nothing.

[Red_Delerium]

Hmmm, Riwanon - I've never "worked with" the boy body, only the girl body, so I'm not sure how much help I can be to you, but I'll try...
I think your problem might be a combination of a couple of things - first, your Angelo's stringing may need to be tightened. Is he all floppy when you try to get him to stand? My Bellosse stands with no problem, but she too has problems with sitting up straight without something behind her to hold her up. Sometimes, if she's in a good mood, I can get her to sit up straight by messing with her thigh joints. It's a little hard to explain, but I'll give it a go - what I do is once I get her into a relatively sitting position, I pull her thigh pieces apart from the uppermost leg parts just enough so that they are offset and no longer locked into place. I try to position the thigh part so that the bottom of it kind of goes over and slightly below the uppermost leg part. Sometimes the pieces don't want to stay separated and just get pulled back into place by the elastic, but usually cooperate eventually. This positioning of her leg pieces somehow makes her be able to sit up on her own, but it makes her upper body look a bit taller, and her legs look a little shorter. It doesn't look weird on her, as her legs are so long already, and she is wearing a skirt that covers the awkward thigh joint positioning. Will it work on the boy body? Can you accomplish the joint positioning if the doll is wearing pants? I'm not sure, but I thought it might be worth a try! Good luck!

I have 2 Dim happy dolls,LAIA and MIRU and i ordered clothes from nine style and they all fit great, i have MSD size dolls. all the shoes i bought fit also from "the style home" wigs i bought on ebay were advertized to fit dollfie (Luts MSD DZ DOD and they were all good, but one with a lamb skin backing was too large.
i found the hands of one doll a pain cause the thumbs stick out and slim dresses are hard to put on her. these are my first BJD's so i can't compare to anything. i do know that one dolls legs flip all over the place more than the other. but both do it.

I really fallen in love with D.I.M. Edmon, but the full D.I.M. dolls are a bit out of my price range. Does anyone know if the resin color is close to Angel of Dream resin?

[Azraelita]

Daeriel
DIM resin is difficult its either cream white nor usual normal. Its pink and I dont know any other company that matches, except like I heard of DOD but this is not for cheaper hybrids then.
I had an Galahad head on AOD white body, it dont looked good sadly so I sold it.
Id like to know to if anyone has a suggestion to what they could match, but Im very afraid there is none.

just ordered my DIM Elif super excited!!

OK! I have a question that I want to be answered so badly :

What mold is the gift head that is pictured in minimee female love size body?

I REALLY love her
Is she a basic DIM mold or an original gift head? I tried looking for similar molds in love section, yet the one that looks the most similar is Eunbi though the gift head doesn't have the "sick" look that I don't like in Eunbi, and the gift head has fuller upper lip and more downward nosetip (I think...). Could just be the faceup and the photography technique though... Belita looks similar too, but their eyeshape are different and the gift head has wider (longer) lips than Belita.... And Belita has a slight smile, while the gift head is definitely frowning
Or (worse), could it be one of minimee heads? But I *think* she doesn't look like a minimee?

And more questions :
What do DIM mean with "If you order this minimee female body, a free Secret head is given."? Does that mean they give random head when someone buy the body or they give the exact same head like pictured in the photos? I'm desperately holding my urge to clean my saving and buy the body just to get that pictured gift head....

Please help me

I ordered a Bellosse with Love Girl Body during the Event. The head I got was the Bellosse with Half-closed Eyes.

And, wow--the feet on these girls ARE big, aren't they? With stockings on, I managed to squeeze them into SD16 DollHeart shoes--but the backs were open on this style, so that helped. I also managed to squeeze them into a super-large sized pair of shoes I got off ebay, but it was a super-tight fit and I needed about 5 or 10 minutes of working the one shoe on! 'Haven't tried BOTH yet!

[SixxMacabre]

EXTREMELY irritated with DIM right now. Ive always held them in high regards because denny is probably one of the NICEST guys out there, and really does go above and beyond for his customers... but this.. is just.. not ok..

so on feb 27th we ordered DIM Elif (with face up) in order to get the free event head! yey!! id get my dream dim boy.. and i could possibly start working on another sd character to go with him! awesome! order was confirmed with Elif+body 2+faceup+event. great stuff! super excited.

well ive just been notified that the body 2 is no longer avialable.. shouldnt effect me right? since I've already ordered him a few weeks ago when the body was still around..

wrong. my now sold out elif, with a sold out body.. will not be coming even though weve partially paid for him, and the order was confirmed on teh 28th. confirmed. as in dde paid for the doll completely and now i just owe dde the remainder.

i was told to just "re-order" when the body 2 is available again. OK sure. but elif is now sold out so how would that work.. i feel like that wouldnt go though/fall apart just as quickly as this appears to be. secondly we ordered him so when im away in japan and korea this summer away from my boyfriend (whose paying for the doll for me) we can still be apart but have this doll to stay connected. (lame i know but well.. his idea.. so its brilliant to me)

i just.. am at a loss.. cried at school about this.. its.. not fair.. firs world problems i know.. but it really broke my heart to have this happen. hell im crying now about it. its just a doll, i know... but.. we had this whole plan and it was going to be great. i hope to god or whatever higher being there might be that this can somehow work out.. in some way.. i hope.

please work. please. please work.


EDIT:

Denny got back to me, such a wonderful man ; A;

he said we can continue my order, and ill just wait until the new body type 2 is completed. then he'll ship my elif, and event head out to me with the NEW type 2..

dim again, never fails to surprise me with their kindness.

I didn't know that this thread existed! I was hoping there was a thread for talking about MNMs!

Now I'm going to go back and read everything!
