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.

ABJD Lovers Under 17 Years Old!

    1. Yeah. I'm thinking of just taking a few months off doll less. And just come back and start off new with a Yo-SD or something :) But leaving permenately would be risky for me...Not sure how..But. XD
       
    2. Oh gosh, i'm 18 today. I don't wanna leave D;

      My Girls:aheartbea

    3. Thanks. Actually I never thought of putting boys stuff on her but that might work. Thanks. (Yeah I love all the loli stuff too but for my girl there's a limit on how much I can get away with....Gothic lolita is the acceptable...Usual pink fluffiness? Likely to get the 'stare' or extra kickyness when she arrives for putting her in it.)
       
    4. Chingling: Aha, I'll take your word for it! And yeah, I forsee a future of many heads and few bodies @.@

      Oh my Mordecai ;3; I officially adore this guy. And your faceup skills.

      dollyb
      : Sounds like a good idea! It'll probably be refreshing to take a break and start again :3

      BaileyRose
      : Happy birthday! And nooo, stay with us! We'll hide you!

      And you literally have the sweetest looking girls, that picture is gorgeous <3


      Nabbed an SO Euclase head off the marketplace, I'm ridiculously excited about him right now, except he's a total impulse buy and fits no characters. But...that face makes up for it TAT

      I'm going to have a floating head army though..
       
    5. BaileyRose Happy Birthday! Stay with us!

      Anikaze Euclase is gorgeous. I can't wait to see what you do with the head. Those floating heads, if only they could buy themselves bodies.
       
    6. BaileyRose: Happy Birthday! How does it feel, being of legal age? haha. Stay with us~ I'd sincerely hope we don't get kicked out on our 18th B-day. That would leave a little less than a year for me T.T
      Anikaze: I'm Jealous! Always wanted a Soom. Can't wait to see what you do with it^^
       
    7. @BaileyRose Happy Birthday dearie~ Oh my gosh, your girls look great! What a quality shot there XD haha just stay here illegally if you want, I'm not really comfortable with shifting to the 18-31 group either since there's quite a big age gap there!

      @Arashi I think the boy clothes maybe a big too tight/loose depending on how big the breasts of your msd are? ^^; hee. I'm not a fan of gothic or pink lolita either, I prefer the warm foresty, one-with-nature feel of mori style better~ (not that any of my boys can pull it off though... orz )

      @Anikaze Ooooh congrats! Did you get the open-eyed or the sleepy wing-eared Euclase? And more importantly are you gonna faceup him yourself? ;D
      Ahaha oh you~ I'm sure Morde appreciate that, if he isn't sulking in a box somewhere... : D
       
    8. Thank you everyone! I probably took 100+ pictures just of that pose, and i'm not even sure i like that one!
       
    9. Oh gosh, I'm so late to this thread OTL;;;;

      Happy birthday BaileyRose, your girls are really pretty! (:
      The effort surely paid off for taking all those pictures~
       
    10. She's gonna be a small bust an RS MSD (Mei on the single jointed body so small boobs) I was looking at some of the stuff recommended...Could be my newness in the hobby but I think my eyes popped out of my skull a little at the prices...

      Yeah I found a cute loli-outfit I loved in black and know that's gonna be added to the collection as it looks simple but classy...But the rest? Pretty sure her character would be finding ways to give me nightmares for months.

      But yeah in slim MSD styles it's a lot harder to find stuff. I find myself seriously contemplating visiting the local doll shop when my girl gets in and see if I can get some shoes that won't cost me an arm and a leg to ship.

      Maybe a case too....Cause damn...The prices for those are ridiculous on some places...(Not sure how good the VOLKS cases are but I ain't paying fifty five for something I can make for ten bucks.)
       
    11. @Arashi perhaps you could join group orders for shoes and stuff? They really save on shipping~
       
    12. VitreousSanity13: Oh I know right? At least these heads are conveniently unattachable 8D

      rkim: Thanks! I actually just like the head sculpts that Soom produces, fantasy parts I could live without, except Amber legs maybe, so gorgeous!

      Chingling
      : Just the OE head ^^ And I wish! But he has a faceup that actually looks really nice. We'll see~~ Lend me some of your faceup talent, haha!

      Oh well, he'll come back out eventually 8D

      Arashi: Shipping can be a killer! I was going to order some simple supplies (elastics, magnets, hooks) and saw that shipping was something like $25 for a $15 order. I think I died a little on the inside @.@ And I agree on some of the more expensive doll items, especially Leekeworld shoes...I don't think I'd ever be able to explain paying upwards of $45 + shipping for a pair of shoes to my parents, no matter how beautiful or well made..

      But yeah, I second Maple's suggestion of group orders. They're a godsend especially when you want to just order a few pieces and don't want to pay more than your order total in shipping. Also, some dealers stock bjd clothing which could be an option too since you'll just pay domestic shipping (mintoncard.com has a pretty good selection if you're in the US :3)

      If you want some references to where some people get their clothing, some posts here list the clothing that the dolls are wearing :)
       
    13. Thanks for the tips I'll check out Mint on Card I looked at their stuff before but got a little confused. I'll take a look at that thread. I know that with sites like Mimiwoo it's sort of a 'hope it fits' thing and free internatonal shipping but even Junkyspot can get ridiculous. I went on LUTS to look at wigs and the price just surprised me. I didn't realize how much some could be. I think I'll keep an eye out for group orders opening up. I really just want to get the bare essentials for when my girl comes.

      Wig,
      underwear,
      Shoes
      White socks to keep the shoes from staining by accident.

      Other then that I'll keep an eye out for the orders and the marketplace and etsy too. Thanks again.
       
    14. @Arashi You don't need a volks carrying case for transporting your dollies, I use a normal slingbag to carry my boys and they're fine :) Just be careful and make sure no one bumps into the bag!

      @Anikaze If you can paint that giant flaming phoenix on your DA in photoshop, of all programs, in only 2 HOURS, I'm sure you'll be able to do a faceup. Girl, you got skills XD
      Anyway looking forward to your Euclase, got any ideas who he's going to be?
       
    15. Arashi I got socks and underwear for my msd from Ebay. He wears a lot of black, so I wanted to protect him from staining. I got some simple white underclothes and they work like a charm. Super cheap too. And with the exception of my Soom guy, I carry my MSD in a padded tote bag.
       
    16. Ahhh I can't resist. I played with my Railiegh today and Now that I am officially out of sports,school,and yaddy-yaddah, I know I may have some doll time.
      Taking breakes is harder than I thought. lol.
      Sorry I am such a confusing person sometimes,at moments,I can sometimes never make up my mind. >.<

      On other hand, I started my first set of ACTUAL hour-and-a-half art classes Monday!! :D
      Cannot wait for next monday, I had so much fun. I've decided to take a pictures of Rails up there and do a portriat during class as my (weekly) project!

      Well,Railiegh spam!!

      On the buying clothes convo.(that I haven't read but 2 posts about!)- I buy all my clothes from etsy or here. Low prices (sometimes..) and great quality (sometimes..)! The doll company websites are good with their wigs and clothes (made awesome!) but highly priced,to where, you can buy 3 sets of outifts on like etsy for the same price and great quality,also. (I hope what I am saying is aiming in the right direction of where the convo. is going..:S)
       
    17. On the topic of transporting dolls without a carrying case, as long as you have adequate padding. And I know a bunch of people recommend face protectors just as a precaution, but those are really cheap anyway, so not a bad idea on the whole. But yeah as long as you're not all like "BOMBS AWAY -swings bag around-" You should be fine using a sturdy tote or bag imo.

      And Chingling, oh man you have no idea how many times I was like "oh snap, a mistake! Let's cover it up with shiney things 8D" Thanks though, that's so nice of you ;3;

      I'm not really sure, I've been calling him Mr. Audeley in my head, so he needs a first name now, but other than that I'm actually thinking happy go lucky, slightly crazy inventor dude, a "not now darling, I've almost got this mechanical rubber band snapper worked out" type of guy just 'cause I don't have a character like that yet. Not having a pre-existing character is baaaadd for me, they tend to be a mess when I end up getting them together. :'D

      What about your Hahwa, where are you going to take him styling/character-wise?

      dollyb
      , aw, good to hear that your schedule's lightened up some! I took a look at your DA, you're a really good artist :3

      And I love Raileigh, so cute! <3 If you don't mind me asking, how do you pronounce her name? Do you say it like Riley?
       
    18. Woops, I kinda disappeared, didn't I? Now that it's summer, I'll try to be more active! ouo Abel came with me to my mamaw's place the other day; we had an awesome time~
      [​IMG]

      On another note, I almost have enough for Island Doll Ivy! I can't find any owner pictures of her, but I guess I'll just have to take the plunge, haha. Or I might get Migidoll Owen...since they're opening orders again for the first anniversary...hmm.

      @Bailey;
      Happy birthday! Hope you have an awesome day. &#9829;

      @dollyb;
      Her kimono is gorgeous!
       
    19. Ooh its summer already! I've actually been out of school for almost a week now, but I still had to report to school this week for academic decathlon. sigh. but next week summer actually starts for me. yay! i need to work on my portfolio for art school apps. lots of great artists here~ any tips for digital painting? I have a tablet and have no idea how to work with it -strictly traditional painter-

      Amelia is back, showing off her new tattoo. It's not the best one out there, but it's my first time bringing art supplies anywhere near her resin, so I'm rather proud^^ It's pretty stylized though.
      Restringing was hard. I got blisters T.T
       
    20. @Anikaze- Thank you! I certainly put effort into time,space,and art. xD
      Her name is pronounced Ray-(Like in Sun Ray)- Lee. Basically Riley,only instead of Ri it's Ray. ^-^

      @HelloMyStar- Thank you! =^-^=
