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):
    Vitta Vera
    Date of acquisition:
    April 2010 (head). January 2016 (body)
    Provenance:
    The head came straight from the company. The body is bought from Jeeryama/Cloversinging.
    Teo was the first doll shelled as a character from House Argenti, the Heir to be the Head of House. He underwent a number of name changes as this character (Tristram, Mordecai, etc), and then around 2012 when I did an overhaul of my collection, his head was "retired" and put into the Drawer of Retired Heads and his body given to a Migidoll head. "Tristram" and "Mordecai" were names I really liked so they went on to other dolls and became their own characters that didn't have anything to do with the original holder of the names.

    Here he was (left) with his uncle, Aubrey Argenti (Angelheim Ryan) (right), the current Head of House Argenti that he would've followed in the story I wasn't actively writing about them because I was too lazy to actually write it.

    And then in 2017 I looked at how full the Drawer of Retired Heads was becoming, and was loath to get rid of anyone so I brought Teo back out, got him on a floating body, and tacked on all the dramatic looking pieces of clothing together to create the first rendition of the Seeker of Creation (now a Minimee Reno).

    He wore the eyepatch to hide his damaged faceup. But over time, I concluded that he deserved more, especially if this was his second chance at dolly life. So I decided, since I still have a couple of the Soom glittery eyes lying about, that he could join the group of god-characters that I call the Holders and Keepers. So off he went to get a new face to face a new dolly life.
