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.

1/3 Telesthesia Dolls

Mar 3, 2016

    1. You can tell I’m a newbie can’t you? Lol. I just wondered if it was like stage makeup or if natural makeup would show on a doll. That sounds stupid now I think about it. I’m not talented enough to do my own faceup ( I can’t even do my own makeup well so I never bother ). I don’t want to send him off as soon as I get him for a faceup either. I’ve sent the photo references via email anyway and will see what they say.
       
    2. Exactly!! I loveeeee his faceup so I ordered him with it, but I'm so worried that it'll look different. If so, I'll probably try to do it myself or send him to an artist.

    3. This actually helps quite a bit, thank you! Was thinking about asking too because the faceup in promos is just too pretty

    5. Fingers crossed yours comes in perfect! Maybe during the wait time more real life pictures will appear too

    6. I mean originally Wei Yue Jin sp (Limited) was released in 2019. But I was able to order my Wei Yue Jin sp around the beginning of 2021 via Clover-Singing. TD sold their last dolls through it's Taobao shop. :kitty2

      And I'm also in favor of the TD dolls getting more love and attention. :hug:
       
    7. Let me dig some pictures up for you of them. I sadly do not have posing pics currently, but I can try and scrounge up some pictures of my 4.

      Drow (Telesthesia Long TianQi):

      I was able to get him to stand on one foot in a ballet pose, just because. He's on the current 72cm boy body

      Mort (Dragondoll Cheng):

      Willow & Zaria (Telesthesia FeiHuaDeng)

    8. They’re so pretty!!! I love Mort’s wig!! The colour is beautiful. Drow looks so TALL!

    9. Thank you! Entertainingly enough, Mort is taller. In his boots Drow is at about 75cm in height, not sure how he managed that as he’s only supposed to be around 72cm…

      [​IMG]
      See what I mean? Guy on the left is 71cm, Mort in the middle is 81cm with shoes, and then Drow on the right just won’t let me pin down his height!

    10. Omg 81cm???? That’s awesome!! Wow how heavy is he?
       
    11. He weighs about 4kg so he’s not easy to lug around. His height is mostly in his legs though! I had to get custom pants made for him.
       
    12. Those pictures really put into perspective just how tall some of these dolls are xD Thanks for sharing them!
       
    13. Thank you, I was happy to share!! I love my big boys and girls a lot. I'm primarily an SD and taller collector, but I also love my YoSD sized dolls too. Mort is and will remain my tallest as I don't want to go bigger than him. I used to want to stick him on a 75cm body, as the character is tall as all get out, but then a local collector was selling an IoS Class80 body for pick up and let me try his head on it. I fell in love with the additional height and walked home with the box the same day!

    14. I got my Telesthesia Yun Minglin a few days ago, and wanted to share pictures. He is my 3rd doll from Telesthesia now, my first was a Quing Niu Sheng in light tan. Compared to Quing he is so much taller!! I have ordered my new boy on the slimmer and shorter body - 74cm instead of the Strong 75cm body which was default for Yun. And he is still a giant! He almost as large as my Spiritdoll Dolce 80cm, stands like a rock next to my tallest dolls (Dollmore Trinity, Parabox Otohime and Spiritdoll Dolce).

      He arrived with a doll stand (but I cannot trust this one because the saddle seems so small and light for this huge man).
      The light tan seems a bit more lighter compared to Quing but it looks so healthy and wonderful.
      Like the smaller Quing Niu Sheng (72cm) he came with a bag of men parts, but those are so large, no idea who would use them (as long as my fingers!)

      I have some pictures of his arrival in my Flickr, if you like to see: LINK

    15. He is truly stunning, congrats on his arrival!! I've been debating getting another TD Doll but in dark tan, I just don't know who yet and it is a super low priority to me currently (I got two characters/dolls left to get on my planned list, after that I will just go with the flow).

      I don't think they are quite accurate with their measurements, since my 72cm Long TianQi definitely seems taller than that. His manbits are quite mighty too. Out of my 4 bodies with magentic peens his I think are the biggest. My 75cm Loongsoul Black Dragon has the smallest of the bunch.
       
    16. Oh he's so pretty!!
       
    17. For anyone wondering/curious/really interested in Weiyuejin, Clover-Singing actually still has a listing up for him (and not a sold out one from the looks of it:kitty2).

      TD does have some very lovely ladies, gents, etc. but—being a character-specific collector—haven't seen a head that really fits with any of my OCs. I do have a couple of their bodies, the 68cm male and the 65cm female, and they do have a good range for posing. Definitely a major improvement with the 65cm I used to hybrid my Iplehouse girl onto over her original body.:thumbup

    18. Ooh how do you like the 68cm male body? I’m getting my Xaio Bei (originally on the 62cm body) on that one and I’ve wondered about how it poses!
       
    19. All these discussions made me want to finish my Dan Taiye's face-up, so I decided to take a quick pic of him and tweak it a bit to see what he'll look like when I finally get to draw his eyelashes and eyebrows. :sweat I was going for a stern kind of face but guess he'll be a cute boy insteeead... (?) maybeee.

    20. Ahh if only i didn't already have a couple dolls to finish paying for I'd be sorely tempted to buy him!
