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

LadySaiyuki
LadySaiyuki is an American dollmaker that started producing BJDs in 2007. All Lady Saiyuki dolls made after December 2009 are banned on Den of Angels. Dolls made before December 2009 are still allowed on the forum.
The ban
In January 2010, Asleep Eidolon announced through their dealer Mint on Card that LadySaiyuki's sculpt Serentiy was a modified recast of the Asleep Eidolon sculpt Pear. Due to the evidence, Den of Angels banned LadySaiyuki and all her dolls made after December 2009. LadySaiyuki insisted that she had not modified and recasted Asleep Eidolon Pear and posted photos of her making Serenity. The timestamps on the photos proved that she had sanded the Pear head and not sculpted it. The photos were removed then reposted with the no time stamps. She also slandered Den of Angels, its moderators, and its owner, which banned her permanently from the forum.
After the ban
LadySaiyuki continues to make BJDs and attend BJD conventions. She has a Facebook page that showcases the dolls she makes.
