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.

☆~~ Granado Doll Discussion Part 18 ~~☆

Oct 22, 2019

    1. That is kind of funny since Henry Cavil was the other choice to play Edward in Twilght, lol.

    2. Shhhhhh... V-12 is only V-12, not anyone else.:eusa_sile:XD:

    3. I thought V-12 looked a bit like Mat Smith, but then he has one of those doll faces that looks like a few actors mixed together. /shrug
       
    4. Now I see they’re rereleasing Noah. I wanted him for Nightwing before I decided to scrap Nightwing.

      maybe I should get him anyway just in case

    5. V-12 is modeled on Robert Pattinson. I noticed it after they posted the second preview picture on IG and I am not much fan of him. Luckily I waited a bit. I need a Syringa Evol body for my Dark Lord Enoch, I think I am going to order it but I don't know if I should get Uriel too, since he's one of those I want.

      I have also an unpainted Michael that needs face up and ear mod.
       
    6. I did it. I fell for the V-12. He's just got such a delightfully masculine face, Granado is so good at them. Do I have a doll planned? No. Am I gonna collect heads on bust stands? Yeah, yeah I am.

    7. @VampireAngel13 - Hmm. Granado will cast heads (and full dolls I think?) for vip members even if they're not currently up for sale. That's how I got my Enoch! If you've bought from them directly before it might be worth flicking them an email?

      Hrmmmm I'm waffling even more on V-12 now. :huh?: I'd be worried about accidentally making him look more like RP, who is probably a great guy, but not my cup of tea. HMMM.

    8. lol yay! Those are sometimes the best dolls


      well I did not know that was a thing, but it makes sense now that they are casting me Garden for my tiny guy even tho he was not available at the time (he is now tho!!).

      I didn’t know VIP status came with more perks than just the heads (which I haven’t gotten since 08)
       
    9. Oh yay!! I didn't know either until they told me after a run-in with an unfortunately popular dealer, who is not an official dealer for them. You might remember the Enoch fiasco from a few years back?
       
    10. Your Enoch fiasco reinforced my "always buy directly from the company whenever possible" rule, which came into force when MoC closed shop (it was just a preference before that if I wanted a doll I couldn't get through MoC) Doll companies are much more accommodating than dealers imo, but then, I don't really buy dolls on layaway, which seems to be a big selling point with dealers for many people

    11. I've always been a "buy direct" person when I can (looking at you DZ/DC :|), but I'm just so cautious with dealers now. Literally just using Alice's or BJDivas if I need to.

    15. @nancy_schroeder_ca @Quiet and Insane @Lawrichai
      Thank you! I am now emotionally ready to let go of his previous shell (my hybrid Granado Michael) now that he's properly assembled. Even though there are still leg movements that I'll miss because he doesn't have thigh swivels, I can forgive the Adagio body for it.

      Besides, he's an unexpectedly champion seiza sitter, actually better than the Angell Studio body my DF-H Takumi Kazama is on (shown below chilling with Noah).

    17. And now, after six years of being a floating head...Claudio has his own body!! :dance
      He's on the Embody in tan with the v.3 jointed hands. They even resin matched him for me! Not that you can tell because his face up is kinda dark. :lol: Damn this is such a gorgeous body. Much lighter than I had anticipated and omg these HANDS! :D Absolutely buying more jointed hands for some of the other dolls in my crew these are incredible.

    18. Congrats on getting him out of FLoating status!

      I seriously am thinking I need to sculpt a bunch of neck and shoulder Bust Stands so I can collect all the beautiful doll faces I want without taking up space with too many SD+ sized dolls. I adore almost everything from Granado and Simply Divine, for example but I just can't do too many more big dolls.
       
    19. Congrats on getting him a body and I agree those hands are amazing. I have a pair for Rich and wish I had more.
