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. Is it white skin or normal skin because that can change the answer a lot

      this is akagi ban head on a mirodoll body both are NS. (Credits for the pic: from A.C Trethowan from BJD Mirodoll Discussion group in Facebook)

      I'm thinking what if I use a Normal yellow mirodoll body to match it more?

    5. Hi, everybody! Just wanted to share Hijinx, my Ban girl. She's on a Volks SD13G body:

      See more pics here.

      The match is not perfect since the body is several years old now, and has yellowed (hence the scarf), but I imagine a newer Volks body would be a better match.

      Hijinx was bought on impulse and I have no other Akagi dolls in my collection, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I'm delighted with her, and I like the density of her resin -- really solid! And her schnoz! I'm in love with it. :fangirl:

    6. hi, newbie here :) been drooling at some of the akagi heads, especially Yusri and Yair! It's especially tempting since there's a discount going on right now. But I'll just invest in a 66cm akagi type 2 body first, since i'm already buying a Leekeworld head (couldn't resist). Hope to get an akagi head soon! And maybe wait for more sculpts to be released.

    7. I didn't see an Akagidoll waiting room, so I will announce that part of my tax refund just went to a white skin 66cm Yuheng, purchased through Jeeryama on eBay. Part of the attraction was the fairly thick neck...I have a hybrid in mind. Yuheng looks pretty androgynous, so I never know what character will reveal itself when the doll arrives. Thanks to all those who supplied photos and comments on the previous pages of this thread, I'm pretty confident that I will be happy with this doll. When he arrives in a month or so it will be blinding hot summer, but I will try to take photos on an overcast day.

      Aaaand he's finally here! The doll arrived in the flimsy blue foil box with the great padded case, so I guess that is standard. ID certificate, but no eyes included. The white resin is darker than Soom cream white, more like a pale normal than the pinky white that is the WS for some other companies. He's stung well, stands fine. If you're thinking of hybriding with this body, be sure to check the neck circumference, he's got a sturdy neck.

    8. well FINALLY I have found a body for my Ban head I bought about 100 years ago! I forgot I had it in fact - has lain in the wig box for so long. It is a BIG head, but I thought I'd just try it on my AoD boy body, and yes it is a bit big, and not a perfect match for AoD 'pink', but I really like it I think? Looks like a younger boy as the head is so big and Ban is a very young looking sculpt. Only thing I don't like on the AoD body is the short legs, but it's perfect for an immature boy - and a great price (from Alices Collections - full doll Kim bought last year)

    9. Hey all, I'm curious if anyone knows resin matches for their white skin? I know Granado fits with the normal skin and Luts too right? I'd prefer to get him in white though.

      EDIT: Just ended up buying the normal skin because I have the Granado body and I'm too cheap to get a new body. Granado still matches right? Gonna be a buff dude with a baby face xD

    10. Now got my Ban head, which I love dearly in spite of the odd sized eyes, on an impldoll idol girl body! The size is perfect I think, although the fit isn't exact as the neck is a bit too big - but mobility is very good anyway. Resin match is also not great with impldoll pink - I think maybe normal 'real' skin would be better? I prefer pink dolls though to yellow ones, so I got pink anyway, and it's barely noticeable in artificial light, although here in daylight you can see a difference.

    11. Anyone know if Tanta-head would fit well with the smaller 66 cm body? I don't want him to be too tall, but it is hard to find answers to these kind of questions. Or if there are any bodies that are 65-68 cm that would work.

    12. I'm very tempted to order a Janz/Jiangli. I've been looking at him for months and there's even an event now.
      No one seem to own one though and i'd really like to see more pics before deciding...

      Can someone tell me about the skin tone? I usually go for normal but i'm not sure this time, you say the white is actually light pink?
       
      #272 ninive, Jun 15, 2015
    13. White is very very white, it doesn't looks that way in the company pictures but it doesn't have any undertones.
       
      #273 DarksStars, Jun 25, 2015
    14. [MENTION=53086]DarksStars[/MENTION] Ah, Thanks, than maybe I shouldn't get it white. They used to say the promo pics are white skin, then the other day I saw it says normal skin now so it must have been a mistake.

      How is the normal? I read here that it changes color

      Since I wasn't getting an answer I tried contacting jeeriyama on eBay but they only said it's made to match Volks.
      I'm not sure about that because I already have a doll like that, a Luts/Classydoll hybrid. Do you know if the normal is the same as Luts?

    15. May I ask about how long did you waiting for an akagidoll?
       
      #275 Rola, Jul 20, 2015
    16. I'm also interested in this too ^^
      Thinking of ordering from them in the very near future!!

    17. I did it, I ordered my Ban head! Now to start planning his character and design :aheartbea
       
      #277 rain_cloud, Jul 24, 2015
    18. I've joined the Ban club! Just purchased an instock head from Alices Collections as well as eyes for him. His name is Clay, and he is a friend for my DOD E-an, Erynn. I can't wait for him to come home!

    19. Ooh [MENTION=48234]MissCarrion[/MENTION] that's what I did~ can't wait to see what you do with yours! I haven't got a character for mine yet; I'm just going to see who is develops into once he gets here! I'm so excited though, he is the prettiest sculpt!
       
      #279 rain_cloud, Jul 28, 2015
    20. I was perusing SC today and happened upon the head and fell in love hehe. I wasn't planning a new doll, but now I've got one! I found a pic on Flickr that has a ban head on a Mirodoll body, and it looks like a good match colourwise, so I think I might end up with a Mirodoll body. Now to debate if I want a boy who is the same height as my girl or taller.
      As for the character, it just popped into my head on my bus ride home today!
