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

Revision as of 16:03, 13 April 2011
Den of Angels is dedicated to the discussion of Asian ball-jointed dolls. The forum does not include all Asian-made dolls on principle; it also allows some non-Asian dolls if they are similar enough in terms of aesthetics and construction. (It is important to note that the phrase "Asian aesthetic" does not mean that the dolls must look ethnically Asian; it is used to describe the style and proportions of the dolls that were sculpted in Asia.)
A doll's suitability is determined based on several criteria points. Ultimately, the decision is solely up to the moderators.
Off-topic dolls may not be bought, sold, or traded on Den of Angels. They may not be the sole focus of any thread or post, though they may be included as comparisons in discussion with on-topic dolls, and they may be posted in the gallery in photographs that feature on-topic dolls but not alone in photos.
This is not a comprehensive list of the dolls that are off-topic, but these are some dolls that have caused some confusion. They have been discussed and specifically disallowed by the moderation:
Contents

Artist dolls
All dolls allowed on Den of Angels must adhere to the forum criteria. Artists who have created dolls in resin should contact a moderator with information about their dolls before posting them on the forum.
Being listed as off-topic does not imply a negative judgment against the makers or sculpts. They simply do not fit the focus of our forum and have been ruled off-topic. Forums to discuss them: Lunar Ark, Junky Spot, This is Blythe
