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.

Merlyn

Maker:
Angel of Dream/Mirodoll
Head Sculpt:
Hui Xiang
Skintone:
Normal Yellow head, Normal Yellow body, apparently
Body:
60cm Female with small chest
Sex:
Female
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Me. I probably shouldn't admit to it right now though XD
    Provenance:
    Head through Wamami on eBay. Body direct from Mirodoll
    Reason for choice:
    Look at that smile. I thought it would be eerie or annoying that she's constantly smiling but it's actually lovely. It's nice to put new clothes on a doll and have her look like she's happy about it. I'm already using an AoD body for another doll. I was actually hoping she would go on my Impldoll body but it's not a great fit. I want to get my teeth into modding so I thought a Mirodoll body would be a good idea.
    Best Points:
    Her smile.
    Worst Points:
    She's slightly out of scale with my smaller SDs. I tried to counter this by filing down her nose a smidge and making her eyes smaller. These mods are still a work in progress which is a bit frustrating. But as awful as her current faceup is, I can see her potential.
  • Eyes:
    Captured in Glass
    Wig:
    In her profile, Dollheart. She goes through wigs like I go through socks.
    Favourite colours:
    For someone with a bright personality, I've put her in a lot of black
    Fashion style(s):
    Quirky.
  • Name story:
    Originally she was called Libby but when she arrived it just didn't suit her. So she remained nameless for a while until Merlyn sprang to mind. I like the sound of the name and it amuses me that Earth-girl Erika will have an entirely different idea of what someone called "Merlin" should look like.
    Character age:
    Early 20's
    Character gender:
    Female
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    I had the head in mind for a different character who she turned out to not be suitable for. So she is still evolving into someone new. She's a wandsmith, which is a specific branch of alchemy which deals with imbuing objects with power and allowing magic to flow through them. She is someone the other characters turn to when they need help. She is cheerful and generous, free-spirited and open-minded. She's also mad as a box of frogs.
