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

resin
Resin is the material that all on-topic for Den of Angel's dolls are made of. It is a type of high-end plastic that is somewhat similar in feel to porcelain. It has been described as being more similar in texture to human skin than regular plastic or porcelain. It is more durable and heavier than porcelain. However, it is not as durable as cheaper plastic and if dropped it may break, but it is unlikely to shatter. Resin must be hand-cast in order to control the quality and keep bubbles out of the resin.
The skin tones of dolls are created by adding pigment to the resin upon casting them. Beauty White or white skin dolls have the least amount of color and sometimes have absolutely no pigment at all. Most companies offer a white skin, a normal skin, and sometimes a tan skin. Occasionally companies offer more than one "normal" skin tone a yellow normal and a pinky normal tone. They are as one might guess, a more yellowish tone and a more pinkish tone.
