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.

    Date of acquisition:
    May 2015
    Provenance:
    First Owner
    Reason for choice:
    There are so many Doll Chateau dolls that I want! I picked her first because she was within my price range and so I could get the limited Larry
    Best Points:
    Having a spider doll is so cool! Her single joint fingers are pretty awesome, and I really like how her face and body blushing turned out. Her feet have hooks so she can hook on to curtains, clothes, etc and can sit on my shoulder quite easily.
    Worst Points:
    She can't stand on smooth surfaces. The legs just slide everywhere. You can't paint near the joints on her legs because they chip like crazy. Also sometimes her feet hook on to things unintentionally.
    I painted her body to look like her back segment is a galaxy orb coming out of the rest of her. I wanted her to look sort of alien and it turned out pretty well. I intentionally did a lot of flat color acrylic on her body blushing because her legs chip like crazy and with flat color areas you can spray on another layer of sealant and do a touch up rather than having to start over every time.

  • Name story:
    I already have a Charlotte in my collection and needed another spidery name. My friend suggested Arachne and it stuck.
    Character age:
    Hard to say since she's not human
    Character gender:
    Female
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    She's so alien its hard to figure out what her character is. She is very quiet and eerie, and maybe is a bit like her goddess namesake. She's very close to nature and to the needle arts. I actually made her a pair of tiny knitting needles out of two yarn needles and she carries around half-finished scarves sometimes.
