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.

Halcyon

Maker:
Dollstown / Ariadoll
Head Sculpt:
Rhea
Skintone:
fresh skin (possibly)
Body:
Ariadoll 14year girl B cup, white skin
Sex:
Female
  • Face-up artist(s):
    me
    Body blushing artist(s):
    me
    Date of acquisition:
    02 April 2012 (head) // 10 November 2022 (body)
    Provenance:
    DoA Marketplace
    Reason for choice:
    I wanted a Dollstown girl, but was having the worst time picking *just one* of An Jonghak's many pretties to bring home. On the other hand, Rhea was the only girl sculpted by Torre that I liked. That settled the Dollstown girl battle royale.
    She waited a decade to get a body. I'd picked Ariadoll 14yr for its resin matching, height, and proportions before I went on my very long doll hiatus, and just stuck with that choice when I came back to the hobby.
    Best Points:
    That delightful profile and mouth! She looks like the younger, gentler sister of DT Elysia. And the Ariadoll body is aesthetically pleasing and a graceful poser, except...
    Worst Points:
    ...it has the unfortunate trifecta of heavy torso, flimsy ankles, and tiny feet. She can barely stand unassisted in bare feet; best to keep her in shoes and in a doll stand.
    She has asymmetric eyes: one eyewell isn't as well bevelled as the other, which affects eye positioning and gives her a bit of a squinty look. I find this expression quirky and endearing, but the sculpt is imperfectly finished.
    I no longer own this doll, keeping the profile up for posterity and reference.

    εἰρήνη ἀλκυών
    Halcyon Eirḗnē, angel of peace and rest.


    The third of the angels to arrive, under great duress. She slept in the sanctuary for a decade, and recently awakened.

    A peculiar little lady. We didn't expect her to be so inquisitive, or so busy. Headstrong, but not pushy. Insistent, but discreet about it. Somehow she always gets her way.
