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.

  • Face-up artist(s):
    Buff
    Body blushing artist(s):
    n/a
    Modifications artist(s):

    Date of acquisition:
    November 10, 2017
    Provenance:
    Purchased from Buff on DoA
    Reason for choice:
    Epsilon was a happy accident as the seller happened to have an extra head and offered for me to purchase it along with the Gamma. Epsilon wasn't my favorite when he initially came out, but once he arrived I fell in love.
    Best Points:
    In terms of the Epsilon head...he's well sculpted? (And very pretty!) The body is nicely petite so it fits his head very well.
    Worst Points:
    Nothing for the head, but the Mirodoll body leaves a lot to be desired. The wrists joints are oddly shaped to prevent movement, and the posing is so/so overall. I also ordered the body direct from the company and it came with a lot of smudges, resin issues, dirt, etc. I was not pleased with its condition or Miro's response, so I don't think I'd order from them again.
  • Eyes:
    Unknown- Possibly original eyes from Batchix.
    Wig:
    n/a
    Favourite colours:
    Muted blues, greys, and whites.

    Male
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    Orion is the eldest of the robot siblings and the first of his kind (at least where his creator was concerned). He was originally designed to fight alongside human soldiers, and was crafted to be a "tank" (in the video game sense). He was created at a time when such machines were still feared, but he eventually won over the soldiers and went on to form a great partnership with the military. After the war he retired into a protective detail for the mayor of the city, and was present when kidnappers snatched the man's daughter. Orion went in to save her and was able to shield her body from an eventual bomb blast, but at the cost of his own body. All the remained was his head, which contained mostly undamaged processing functions and hardware. He was collected by his siblings who worked to find him a new body and helped him reacclimate to the world.

    Orion was originally built to be nearly indestructible, and went through several different body upgrades as his creator perfected the craft. Since being reshelled into a new body, he has had to get used to using his strength and knowledge of battle differently. He is very quiet and contemplative, but loves to read. When he was but a head, he spent most of his time being read to by his siblings as it seemed the only thing to really reach him. Now he goes to the library himself, and even reads to the children there from time to time. He is definitely the strong, silent type with a heart of gold (no matter how much Cinnamon insists he's stuffy).
