About Minimee |
|
|
I am wriitng this thread in order to explain things about minimee project.
(thanks to Tiffany to give me the idea)
Q]When can I order ?
=>there is a limited numer of quantity in making minimee.
when previous order is completed or about to be completed, then I take starting orders.
Q]What size heads are available?
=>SD and MSD size are available
Q]How much is it ?
=>- 380$ for two same heads(exactly same cast) and you can't divide the price.
- the price is same on SD & MSD
- it's promotional price and it will be a little raised in the future
- the EMS cost is not included.
- Additional head order : 70$ per head
Q]Is faceup included in the cost? Will it cost extra?
=>Nothing is included.
For Custom make up : 60$(need specific dolls' photo for reference, not human beings' photos)
Q]What bodies will match the resin of the heads?
=>at the moment, there is not body for perfect match.
and it is true that the resin color can be changed in the future because
I want to improve things gradually.
And we are working on making body for minimee.
Q]What skin colors are available?
=> sorry you can't choose the skin colors at the moment.
Q]Can we send in drawings to be made into heads?
=> Yes, it's possible but the drawings much be done detaily.
Q]Can we send in celebrity photos to be made into heads?
=>Yes, it's possible but it will be maximum 80% resemblance.
Q]How long do I have to wait to get the casted BJD ?
=>about 60 days. If you add a face up : + 15days
Q]BJD styled Minimee : 50% resemblance
Reslistic Minimee : Maximum 80%
Q]When do you think the body will be available ?
=>in few months. The body will be for Minimee and the price will be resonable.
Q]Do you think I can order late this year ? will you be doing the project ?
=>Honestly, I don't know.
No this service is available here.
Because of the modification and too much high expectation.
this really pressures on the sculptors.
So this project can be stopped at any time.
For example) I once did this minimee service for Actiono figure, but the expectation from people were too high to be satisfied. so I never did that again in Korea.
Q]What eyes can I use ?
=>For SD : 16mm / MSD : 14mm would be fine.
but please note that this is individual order, so there can be a different from what I explained. But Normally you can use that size of eyes.
[Please read this before ordering]
1. I would like to add some comments regarding the minimee.
Please note that each minimee can have a little flaw.
as you perhaps know, one sculpt takes many days enormous efforts before producing. this is the thing that we normally see manufacturers' doll.
However, this minimee can't be done like the normal BJD production.
that means we need to make it faster than normal.
so there can be little flaws on head like tiny spot or something.
I am sure this kinds of things can be covered with make up and a wig.
2. Modification
I prefer not to have requests on modification.
Because the works will be much harder finally. That means I should raise the price.
The nomal price was used to be around 600$ and at that time I offered modification.
However, the 380$, if I take modification a lot, I am afraid I can't keep this project any more becuase of the heavy work.
Therefore, I will do modification service with some extra cost.
(It depends on the minimee and requirment of minimee)
Why I start this project ? Because I am very happy when people enjoy and laugh. that is the main reason.
We have several sculptors who are working on this projects but can't tell you the names.
Very talented sculptors are working with me at the moment.
so to keep this project working, I need to take monthly orders for the sculptors.
(I would be very greatful if you can let people know about this project in your country ^^)
The first minimee orders were all completed and I will start taking 2nd orders from next week through dimdoll.com
Here are some works' samples.
Thank you very much for providing these comparison photos for people.
