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.

50–65cm Dolls Doll Profiles created by TheBodyVolcanic, Feb 24, 2017

Maker:
Merry Doll Round
Head Sculpt:
Ophelia
Skintone:
Cookie
Body:
Petrichor
Sex:
Female
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Myself (Delphinium Dolls Aesthetics)
    Date of acquisition:
    23 February 2017
    Provenance:
    Direct from MDR
    Reason for choice:
    I have admired MDR's dolls for a while now and especially the cookie skintone. Then I figured out that the Ophelia sculpt would work well for a character I created whom I originally intended to shell as a Supia Lina. So it was the perfect combo of finding a doll that fit my character AND a doll I'd always wanted regardless.
    Best Points:
    -Elbow joints are AMAZING, I love how they pose and look.
    -Joints in general: when you pose her she just feels very solid, easy to pose yet there is a lot of friction in the joints so she doesn't feel "loose"... IDK if I'm getting across what I want to get across, but basically, I feel she's engineered very well haha. She also stands quite well (probably due to her adorable thick legs)
    -Resin: MDR offers such gorgeous skintones, and cookie is no exception. It really does remind me of a cookie, it's very warm and like a light golden brown. She doesn't seem to have noticeable seamlines either O~O which is pretty great for a tan doll. And one last resin comment, the resin feels quite thick and sturdy which makes me happy. (I'm a big Volks fan, what can I say...)
    -Face and body aesthetics: everything about her is just beautifully sculpted. I also love her unique face, MDR has such lovely face sculpts with diverse features, rather than the standard big eyes and small pointy noses (which I don't dislike; again... BIG Volks fan... but I like to have a diverse collection!)
    Worst Points:
    There's not much to dislike, but if I had to nitpick... the knee joints can be a bit hard to bend fully. However, once you do get them all the way bent they lock into place and stay really sturdy, which is nice. So I don't dislike them but I would say they are difficult in a way.
