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

Homes for Tinies
Many collectors of the tiny dolls (26cms or less) often create homes or rooms for their tiny dolls to live in. Some of these are elaborate homes housing several dolls or maybe just a simple room for the doll to live in. Most people use existing dollhouse and doll miniatures for their tiny ABJDs. PukiPuki dolls, and other in this size range such as Brownies, Lati whites, and Pocket Fairies are 1/12th size and many dollhouse items are in this size. Often this size is referred to as 1 inch scale. These dolls work normally with stuff that is 1/12th or 1/16th though this can vary from company to company and from doll to doll. Larger tiny dolls, such as LittleFees or YoSDs are little hard to come by but there is stuff out there for them. Playscale doll house and supplies work great with 1/6th sized dolls.
