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 isn’t very exciting around here, as Dalila would be the first to tell you. Just sit around day after day, sometimes on this shelf, sometime on that one. Eavesdrop on conversations, change clothes every few months: the usual. It’s the same for everybody, which is why no one believes Dalila when she talks about the day she was attacked by a tiger.

    ‘You could at least try to make it sound believable,’ they said, but Dalila’s tiger sounded like none they’d ever heard of. For one thing, it was as big as an elephant, with teeth as big as your hand. And though orange, it had cream stripes instead of black, and the most enormous fluffy tail that could wipe away whole families with a single swish. At least, that’s what Dalila said – no one believed her.

    They didn’t believe her either when she told them how the fearsome beast approached her, locking its venomous green orbs on her widening violet eyes. Petrified with fear, she couldn’t budge. Once close, the tiger opened its slavering jaws, big enough to snap off Dalila’s head, but…

    Well, that was the strange thing. It didn’t bite her head off, although she insisted to everyone who’d listen that this was the tiger’s intention. Instead, it licked her hair. Licked it and licked some more, and finally – oh but it was too terrible! – ran away with it!

    She passed out with fright, and when she came to, her hair was no longer blonde as it had been before. It was brown now, and longer. ‘Looks good! Suits you!’ they said to her face, but she heard the grumbled mutterings: ‘I’ve had the same hair for six years, but she makes up silly stories and gets new hair…blatant favoritism…’

    Still, it was a consolation. Dalila did have new hair, and she did see a tiger. Sure, today was like yesterday which was the same as the day before that. But who knows what tomorrow could bring?
