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. @Quiet and Insane: Thanks. I got so frustrated trying to make dreads that I ended up ordering micro dreads off etsy for the next wig.



      Here it is. I think it suits his character better. I will probably remake it eventually because I am not 100% satisfied with it.

    2. Ooh that looks good! Sometimes pre-made is the way to go honestly. It's such a sanity saver.

    3. hi,hi and HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.
      I just wanted to ask you which of the granado bodies would be best for the soom Idealian head and do they have white skin?
      thank you and best wishes for all of you in the new year:dance:hug::love:D:kitty2:abow:
       
    4. Granado does have white resin color, but I do not have a sample so I cannot vouch for how white it is, or if it's compatible with Soom. :sweat

      Thread's been quiet, eh? I guess Granado minis are more in the rage now than their bigger dolls, but I still love my 75Adagio Noah, swivel-less thighs and all. :XD: Here's his fantasy faceup head, looking like he's off to do some mischief.

    5. He's so beautiful!
      My Neptune just turned 9 today (despite me only getting him a body about three years ago :sweat). I should take some new photos of my crew, but I've not had the motivation. I really should take one or two of them out on adventures for interesting photos. Maybe in the city.

    6. I used to take a lot of pics of my boys. Then the size of my collection got... large and I rarely do now. Liroshan (Crowdfund 53Lucifer) is now 7 years old and Illarion (15Lucent) is 3 years old.

    7. Poor Jane's body got snatched by Impldoll Lydia's head, and I need to do some color-matching...
       
    8. @Quiet and Insane I totally get you -- sometimes the weight alone of the big dolls dissuades me from packing them up for an adventure. I can handle lugging around one 1/3 scale doll, but group shots... nah, forget it. :sweat

      @MaleficentMrsofEvil Good luck with your color-matching! I tend to forget Granado has Jane, because their offerings are mostly male sculpts.

    9. I live in New Zealand and have just managed to snap up a Raguel on an Evol body in what I suspect is white skin... and I got it for NZD$320. At the time of purchase $1 NZD is USD 0.54c. So that's a pretty insane bargain. I'm currently waiting on my mum to find a safe way to courier him to me from the other end of the South Island.

    10. Great to see Raguel @Mahgiep -- even tho I love my Noah, I do miss Granado's older sculpting style. I'd prolly resurrect my Michael as a different character since he's been moldering in storage for too long.

      On the other hand, I've been cultivating hoya plants recently. One particular species (lacunosa) especially appealed to me because they look so nice with the big dolls. Granado Noah (and Iplehouse Scarlet) are here enjoying their living decor.

    11. I have a Hoya collection too!

    12. Oooh they look beautiful (as always!!) I also have a couple of hoya. Two inherited from my grandmother, and one that I've bought. I should take some doll photos with them next time they're in bloom!

    13. Hehe good to know some hoya-heads @Mahgiep and @Quiet and Insane :hug: Of course I do not keep the dolls where plants are being kept. Grow lights can turbo-charge yellowing, and my Noah is already unevenly yellowed as is.

      On the other hand, Granado's doing a mass continuation of their old-style heads. And there I was the other day, thinking of how much I missed their more rugged sculpts. A good thing I held on to my Michael, I guess. :...(
       
    14. I saw that! I'm a little shocked to be honest, I sold my Michael years ago, and am looking at selling off one of my Enoch heads. Ironically the one I'm keeping was the mistake they sent me. I'm just not vibing with the other's character. Hopefully they bring out a body that's similar to the Zen but without the crazy muscles. I'd love him to be an ethereal elven type.
