- Date of acquisition:
- March 9th 2012
- Provenance:
- Purchased direct from Iplehouse during their Christmas Sale in 2012.
- Reason for choice:
- This is the doll that got me into the hobby. A friend had showed me some BJDs, and I was looking at a few with interest when I came across Claude. He simply was exactly my character, and I knew I had to have him. Those kind eyes and that playful smile sold me on the sculpt.
- Best Points:
- I love the sweet smile he has, and how beautiful his body is. I find a lot of male BJDs to be very thin and slightly effeminate looking-- which is beautiful in it's own way, but not representative of the character I wanted. He has a gentle, beautiful masculine charm to him.
- Worst Points:
- While I adore the face sculpt and the aesthetics of the Iplehouse body in general, he is not a very good poser. Being from '12 his resin is much smoother than more recent dolls, and this includes inside his joints. While he stands quite well in certain positions in others his ankles buckle easily or he simply cannot support his own weight. I don't regret buying him, but I wish I'd researched more. Also a strange size to shop for clothing-wise.

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
