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.

5StarDoll Tinies Discussion Part 4

Oct 14, 2016

    1. Yeah, I was bummed to see Aiden isn't available with the beast arm and tail. :( That counts me out then, unless they dust off those molds and decide to offer them later. I'm not huge on fantasy sculpts, but that one would be hard to resist... a chibi hell boy? Yis!

    2. I agree mollym! I really wish Aiden10 was being re-issued with his beast arm and tail. Chibi Hellboy...what's not to love? :aheartbea

      The new Spring Festival Event looks good! Instead of Miss S as the gift, you can pick a free 1/6 Anna or Tony. Those are both very cute sculpts.

    3. Awe, yes. I did notice Miss S. She would make a neat doll's doll. I'm too stingy/not-rich-enough to buy her though.:pout: I suppose I can always keep my eyes open, of my entire collection, I've only 2 dolls I ordered from companies. I'm plotting and planning to save for another doll right now. I should be more focused on sewing for the ones I already have but my machine is starting to make scary clunk sounds.:shudder I suppose I can finish the project I have going and take it to the shop for a check-up. I'm looking forward to faceup weather, being a night-shifter, it's going to be a challenge to get in sync with good daylight, but I plan to do my best for my dollies' sake!

    4. LOL! 'Plotting and planning' to get a bjd is a good thing! :thumbup

      Sorry your sewing machine is making weird noises. :frownyblush:
       
    5. Does anybody have both Aiden10 and Aiden5 who could take a photo of them standing side by side so I can see the difference in height in a visual sense? I am really struggling to decide which one to go for and work them into my dolly crew.

      @mollym Clunking is never good. :( It could be that the plate underneath has become misaligned. But maybe it just needs a service?

      I think I have a spare arm bit, tail and hand in white if anyone wants it for blushing. I don't think I'll ever use it.

    6. Yes, ahalfling, I saw those, but I didn't pay too much attention. I already have a Ray, but it looks like it could make a decent hybrid. Wish I could help with the color matching. They do look different, but again it could be the lighting in the photos. Are thinking of getting them?
       
    7. Possibly...the only thing I think I am worried about is color. I'm not sure it will match.

    8. It may be a little time consuming but you could try and blush the head to match the body? Or dye them? Not ideal if you wanted to keep the face up though.

    9. Okay, my pics aren't great Miku_Plantman but they show that Aiden 5 is just a big shorter than the original Aiden.

      I need to dig all my kids out (they were tucked away for the holidays) and get some fresh pictures. Yet another thing to add on the 'TO DO' list.

    10. Wow Kelli! What a great collection of 5Star dolls you have! They are all so cute! :fangirl:
       
    11. @ahalfling I'm not sure if you do your own faceups, but blush-matching is not as bad as it might sound. I did (happily, accidentally) find that the citadel sealant from Games Workshop has more tooth, and takes a blushing like that very well. If you have a variety of chalk pastels, reference the color wheel and have a good white pastel, it's pretty fun to mix your own match. In other words, don't let a slight resin mis-match put you off if you really want the little fella. ;)

      @Kelli I agree, you have a really cool collection of 5-star kids. I love seeing them all together, thanks so much for sharing them.

    12. YAY! I am finally going to have my dream Bibi in tan! *does the happy dance* :dance:dance:dance

      [​IMG]

      Got the okay and approval to order Bibi in tan resin. 5Star even accommodated me by inserting all the resin colors in the drop-down menu where Bibi is listed, so I could order the tan resin officially.

      Whew! It was a long wait for Bibi, but at last he's going to be mine in tan! :fangirl:

      Now to settle in for a 5 month wait. :ablah:

    13. @Rabbit-moon This is wonderful news! I will do the happy dance with you! :cheer Do you have an estimated arrival time for your new little Bibi? Which body will your new kid have?
       
      • x 1
    14. Thank you mollym! I was so bummed when I thought that the Bibi sculpt had been discontinued! So, I'm absolutely over-the-moon about getting a chance to get him in tan! :DLast year, they said tan would come back, but I had sort of given up hope, it had been so long.

      Per the 5Star site, it says Bibi will come with a 30cm boy body. The 30cm body still being sold in their parts section. So, I hope that is what I will get.

      Sadly, the wait for 5Star dolls is LONG! It has always taken at least 5 months to get a doll. I don't expect to see Bibi until the middle of summer. :...(
       
    15. @Kelli thank you for these pictures! What a wide collection! They are all gorgeous! x

      After seeing them I ended up going for an Aiden10 in grey skin because I wanted a gargoyle character in my fantasy crew and the Aiden5 was not quite small enough for the younger sibling look I wanted. If Yami had been available I may have gone for her but I was not sure If I liked the larger eyes on Aiden5 for me personally. So making lots of gargoyle concepts, there may be some mod-ing! :D

      @Rabbit-moon Congrats on your Bibi, they will be worth the wait! Who knows, you may get lucky and he could arrive early. Fingers crossed!

    16. Congrats on getting an Aiden10, Miku_Plantman! He'll look great in grey resin!

      Don't you love the fact that 5Star does such cool fantasy sculpts in YOSD size? When I first got my Batboy, I had him as little demon gargoyle because of his grey resin and batwings. I wish 5Star would do some kind of wolf-boy! They could offer him in a special color, like they do with Jadite. Maybe a dark, chocolate brown.

      And thank you! I'm very excited about finally getting my Bibi! :3nodding:

      I guess we are both in for a long wait. :ablah:
       
    17. Thank you! And a wolf boy would be gorgeous! I'd love to see more reptile based dolls at some point too!

      Aww Batboy would make a great gargoyle!

      Haha 5 months is a bit of a wait but it will be worth it! I think 8 months has been my longest wait so far for a doll. I forgot I had ordered it and was surprised when the shipping notice came in!

    18. LOL! That's funny Miku_Plantman! I guess after 8 months, it would be easy to forget. The longest I ever waited was over a year for a Dollshe Saint. Gah! (Believe me, that was not a happy Waiting Room to be in!)

      Being in this hobby for over 10 years has taught me a lot about patience. :sweat
