It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.Dismiss Notice

Bodies

- as at 2007: Magnetic Bodies only available with elves. First Batch Elf Body had larger magnets and were set lower in the body.
- 1st Anniversary Event: Sisley One Piece Torso again available as an option (May 2007)
- Lots of CB owners report left leg is around 1mm longer than the right which means it doesn't sitting as well as the right leg in its hip cup. This makes the left leg a bit touchy/kicky. Most dolls have this quirk. In order to fix it: The solution is sand down the teeth just a tad or cut a groove into socket so the teeth can lock in.

Updates and Improvements
In 2008 the Ciao Bella body was switched to the new ver.2 body, which is slimmer and has a different style of hand sculpt. In late 2008, after requests from customers to bring back the old body, they allowed customers to choose between the ver.2 and the ver.1 (old) bodies. Some recent limited dolls have been sold on a ver.1-1 body, which was similar the ver.1 body with different hands, ankles, elbows, and knees. All new orders for the ver.1 body will come with the ver.1-1 body.
Currently the Ciao Bella standard line is not available to order, though it was stated that they will be back in 2010 with a "new look".
