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.

Caladrius

Maker:
Dikadoll
Head Sculpt:
Amanda
Skintone:
white (not pure white)
Body:
Doll Chateau K-body-02
Sex:
Male
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Onionbulb
    Modifications artist(s):
    Me
    Date of acquisition:
    August 28, 2017
    Provenance:
    I purchased his head through Alice's Collections, and his body through Mint-on-Card several years earlier.
    Reason for choice:
    I fell instantly in love with his sculpt the moment I saw him; my brain envisioned a character completely different from the company photos, and I knew I needed to make it a reality.
    Best Points:
    love love love his pretty face! he looks so delicate and ethereal! also his teeth are removable, which makes getting him painted/cleaned easy
    Worst Points:
    the DC body is VERY kicky, doesn't hold poses well, and is difficult to restring
    Hybrid Notes: Cal's head is much larger than a typical Doll Chateau of his size range- I think it's bigger than most 1/4 dolls, in fact. As a result, he can look sort of bobbleheaded if not styled correctly, and his neck requires sueding or a joint pad to stay stable. there's a lot of gapping between his head socket and neck joint. the resin doesn't match naturally, and he had to be blushed. his "missing" left hand is a result of a long-ago mailing incident, and since I couldn't find anything to replace it, I just worked it into his character, using a spare Doll Zone hand that I sanded down into a wrist end.
  • Eyes:
    Ersa Flora

  • Name story:
    I took Cal's name from medieval bestiaries, which list the caladrius as a white bird that is capable of sensing the closeness of death. Some of these books also say that the caladrius can fly a sick person's ailment away.
    Character age:
    late teens/early 20s
    Character gender:
    male
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    Cal was born with the miraculous ability to heal injuries and illness- but only by taking them on himself. Fortunately for him, these conditions eventually pass, but the process is far from pleasant, and sometimes it leaves scars. He grew up in a remote village, taken in by its religious leader. His healing ability was used for the good of the community, despite the toll it took on him. Eventually he came to realize he was being exploited, and fled the village to live deep in the forest. These days he's very picky about who he helps, and it's never for free.
