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.

Sex:
Other
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Me
    Date of acquisition:
    12/24/2020
    Provenance:
    Bought from Volks USA
    Reason for choice:
    Lightweight, adorable, and easily takes and holds poses
    Best Points:
    It would be really difficult to list everything here, but the reasons why I chose the MDD would have to be the top!
    Worst Points:
    The 08 head has eyewells that tend to gap more than the other two dollfie dream heads I've handled, and it's because of... I'm not sure what to call it, but on vinyl dolls there's this "lip" on the inside of the head where the eyeholes are. I'm not sure if it's just my specific head, but I had to shave these down a little to get the eyes to sit closer, but they still gap a noticeable amount. (I don't even think I can safely shave any further.) The only other head I owned that had this problem did this was the old basic obitsu 60 anime head, which had it to a RIDICULOUS degree. I mean, thank goodness it's not THAT bad, but it's still a little bit of a problem.
    • Viri's faceup was a bit more difficult for me to do than any other as I am currently unable to look directly down, meaning I couldn't get really close to the head while using the insane detail brush. Therefore a lot of the lines are a lot thicker and less delicate than I would have wanted them to be, but I'm proud of getting this head done at literally arm's length anyhow!
    • It took three tries to get the color of the inside of his mouth right. I took his first picture before getting it right.
  • Eyes:
    Jadepixel eyes that I don't remember the style of but they are green!
    Wig:
    Volks Short Fluffy Curls in Cinnamon Gold
    Favourite colours:
    Green, yellow
    Fashion style(s):
    Soft and nerdy or... fantastic and nerdy.
    Key fashion accessory:
    His Virun VII necklace! The non fun-sized version of this character is named Virun, after all! Also those ever so slightly askew lensless glasses, one of my first doll purchases, which are probably about ten years old...?
  • Name story:
    Viri is a cuter version of the name Virun, the name of my FFXIV WoL. Given he's a chibi version of him, well...
    Character age:
    35. Given this, consider him a lalafell!
    Character gender:
    Male
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    Viri is a loose approximation of my FFXIV main, who is, in fact, VERY tall. He's chibi, but I have joked that he's essentially a lalafell version. In spite of being a very chibi adult, Viri's adult adventures mainly consist of very pedestrian things like shopping and watching true crime shows as he's quite a low key person. (There's something very Sanrio about this.)

    Virun is a serious yet optimistic mathematician with poor social skills, and Viri is exactly the same. What's different about Viri specifically is he isn't bound by the game, so he can freely wear whatever he wants and interact with completely normal modern things. He's just as much of a Death Stranding fan as I am, for instance.

    This does not stop him from being a summoner.
