    Pipos Anthros Minuet and Hopen

    I know there is a thred for the msd humans, but I wanted to start one for the anthros

    I am just so excited!!!!!!! Wooooo hooo!!!!!!!
    I think I want to try to get a limited, and then in a few months get a blank gift Minuet so I can do a faceup on her myself. I contacted Pipos about layaway on the limiteds and they said it was available and that they corrected the listings and it is available.

    Soooooo... Anyone else here in serious trouble with the new releases?

    ...mod note...

    If only I didn't have two layaways going at the moment ;-; I want a Minuet with built-in ears, not magnetic... I hope they release another version of her with normal ears!

    I was excited to see they said they would have basic versions of the limiteds, but they are not really the same sculpt with the ears being separate pieces. For me at least, it kinda kills the flow of the face.

    Sadly there is no possible way for me to get one of the limiteds, so I will just have to keep hoping that Pipos will release a basic molded ear, jointed torso cat doll in the R.Pi or M.Pi size.

    My guess would be face-up and outfits and such.

    Well, at least there will be standard editions in case my Eugenie needs friends!

    Okay I asked Pipos is they would do a basic edition and this is what they replied.

    Hello^-^
    We're sorry but we don't have the releasing date for the basic Minuet yet.
    But I'll talk to manager about your opinion.
    Thank you very much!

    regards,
    PIPOSDOLL

    So iether they didn;t understand my question at all or they do plan to release a basic version...
    I like her but darn after the soom event and Cons... I'm stretched thin.

    Hrm... I love the R.Pi line but I'm not too thrilled with these... I don't know, their faces... they seem a little too angular for my tastes. Their eyes are so far apart and their snouts so small and pointy.. with very large foreheads... so they seem weirdly distorted to me.. Yeah not digging them at all. Charlotte has a much more naturally beautiful face, and then Derek's is very nice too... so I'm a bit disappointed here.

    Oh well, not like I could buy one even if I loved it x_x I wonder if they are going to make 1/3 anthros..

    I must admit I am loving Minuet myself, having a hard time not putting her on a lay-way. Personally cant decide between the magnetic ears or not. I love the idea of wearing wigs under the ears, but if I don't want her to have hair then the magnetic ears would be not as nice. I really want to see the magnetic ears one without a wig before I decide. Not a giant fan of the body either but I could live with it >_<

    ... I really like the LE Hopen, (well, I love his suit and the gloves! lol!)~
    Please tell me I wasn't the only one secretly fangirling because he made me think of Baron from the Cat Returns!

    You can see a picture of the (wigless) Gift-Edition M.PI's in the Pipos Manuals page.

    I'm drooling Limited Hopen. He would be pretty much perfect my cat group, but too expensive, so passing. Hopefully there will be basic! I don't like magnetic ears so much, so that's why gift edition is a no.
    She's not crazy, she just sounds it.

    My basic Demon is breathing a sigh of relief that he won't be overshadowed by one of these lolly-legged giants; I was really holding my breath, but expense and aesthetics have made these a No.

    I think the LE Minuet is beautiful, with the built-in ears, and I love her faceup. But I'm not thrilled by the gift editions; the wig with ears look is too much like Dearmine or Zuzu Delf. Also agree with E. Hadrian above about proportions. I adore my Demon because he looks spunky and strong. Hopen looks a bit too... wimpy, I guess. Oh, well. More money to spend on fripperies like food and shelter...

    Hahah, that is exactly the vibe I got from him, too. X3 <3

    Fortunately for me, that is basically just how I planned to style my IoS Jack (if I can ever figure out proper clothing for him) so I am safe from another suit-wearing kitty.

    I really do love R.Minuet, but I already had myself convinced I couldn't get her when the page said payment was due within 3 days, which I knew I couldn't do. Seeing that they are offering layaway nearly broke me. If I hadn't been in such a hurry to get to work, I think I'd have ordered her yesterday morning. Luckily, I had time to think it over while I was at work and realize that it would be a very bad idea, financially, and I would have to do a lot of work to fit her into my crew. I think I'm just going to wait and hope for lots of owner pictures. (And hope that she sells out really soon, so I can stop feeling the temptation.)

    I think I will sit out this edition until owner pictures show up. I am somewhat in agreement with E.Hadrian's assessment of proportions - they seem a bit off, but it could just be the pictures. Paloma (Dear Mine Priscilla) is pretty upset with me, though, because she really wanted a kitty friend her own size! She's tired of hanging out with little ones .

    I actually like the magnetic ears a lot. Before I got my very first Dear Mine kitty, I was a bit iffy on them. But, I love the versatility and the numerous wig options that they allow for.

    I couldn't resist. I decided on the gift edition Minuet because I wanted to use a wig, and liked the face without the extra markings. I have the limited O.Charlotte and Derek in armor, and find them beautiful-- too pretty to take apart and play with. This one, I think I can play with! I was sold on her because of her picture in the compare doll size picture in the manual. I liked her with and without ears, and want to do both kinds of styling. I have been toying with the idea of a larger girl to sew for...can do more elaborate things than for the yo sized. Of course, the real issue is going to be what she actually looks like in person.

    Anyone know how tall this one is? She definitely looks bigger than Charlotte!

    They have the measurements for Minuet (44.5cm) and Hopen (45cm) in the Pipos manual area, along with a picture of some of the dolls together. They are indeed quite a bit bigger than the previous R.Pi releases.

    WHOA!!!!! That's an awesome comparison picture!! Thanks a bunch Malaryush!
    Boy am I behind! I'm still wishing for a Charlotte.

    I guess that's why they did magnetic ears - so that people have the option of a wig.

    Yeah, I was really impressed by that image. X3 Even knowing the difference in measurements, I wasn't quite prepared for such a dramatic difference in size! Just looking at the pictures of Minuet, it still seems odd to think of how big she really is.
