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.

Meirin

Maker:
Resinsoul
Head Sculpt:
Resinsoul Mei
Skintone:
White
Body:
Resinsoul single jointed msd girl body
Sex:
Female
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Me
    Body blushing artist(s):
    Me
    Date of acquisition:
    2011?
    Reason for choice:
    I fell in love with her face in the company pics when i just found out about bjds (not knowing her relatively 'cheap' price back then) but as i was 12 years old i never got to buy her then and there. Few years later i had worked a summer job and had my birthday and was browsing around the web for doll news because i was really into pullips and i somehow ended up on the Resinsoul website once again. I now knew where to look and what to look at and realized i could actually finally afford her. I was still smitten with her face in the pics and still am.
    Best Points:
    Her face, the elf ears, the slender body that is perfect for making oversized clothes look good. I may be an outcast on this one but i like the default hand model.
    Worst Points:
    She got floppy pretty fast and some of her brows didnt come right off when i took off her company faceup (eventually it did with magic eraser but it took some time)
  • Eyes:
    Wanami (ebay glass eyes seller)
    Wig:
    Mohair wig by think pink (dutch webshop)
    Favourite colours:
    pastel and muted colors
    Fashion style(s):
    Cutesy, oversized hipster like, pastel goth
    Key fashion accessory:
    Beanie and strawberry nail art
    It took some time before i figured out how i wanted her to be. At first she was boxed up after i got her because i tend to leave a hobby as is and come back to it some time later. But when i got back in the hobby and took her out of the box and started working on her, she did come together piece by piece. I redid her face about 3 or 4 times and blushed her body and removed that again. She has 4 or 5 wigs now (including alpaca and lama wigs) and i do think the latest one suits her best. A white mohair wig similiar to the one she wears in the company pictures that i fell in love with. She does kinda wear what im into atm but i did notice she doesnt look good in everything. I dont have to try to get her to look good in a skimpy bikini or tight short dresses. Her body lends itself for more oversized and layered looks.
  • Name story:
    When i got her i did not know what to call her. She had a company faceup, random wig and random acrylic eyes. She was so default that i could not call her something other than Mei. Once i customized her more she became less default but i was already used to calling her Mei so i changed it to Meirin, it has a nice ring to it and reminds me of a character in one of my favourite animes. (Kuroshitsuji/black butler - Meirin)
    Character age:
    Something eh...old? i think. She is superhuman, being an elf and all.
    Character gender:
    Female
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    She is quiet, calm and a bit of a nerd. I dont usually draw up characters for my dolls but i did get a vibe from her when i took pictures or posed her nicely ect. I tend to pose her playing on a DS (tetris and mario) or reading a book (the girl with the dragon tattoo, harry potter, grimm fairytales)
