1. 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.

    It was love at first sight with this sculpt. He was my first Volks doll and after seeing the quality firsthand, I decided that I wanted to collect that brand exclusively. Since I didn't really have to wait or search long for him, I don't know if he would be considered a grail doll, but I suppose if I had one, he'd be it. Still remains my favorite male sculpt, ever.
