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. Bad news...i emailed Yume_jp...this is their response..
      Thanks for your question ^_^

      As for Unoa girl, I am sorry that I cannot take the order as the order in this time is limited and get by lottery style.

      Please feel free to email me if you have any concerns.

      Regards,
      Irei ^_^

    2. Bad news about Crescent Shop, too. From their news page:

      "Thank you for many inquiries for Unoa Girls preorder from Alchemic labo in June.
      We have decided we will NOT take preorders this preordering.
      The reason why is NOT because we are not working between June 1st and 5th.
      But the reason is that the preorder this time is preorders by "LOTTERY"

      The available quantity is too small comparing with the demand from our clients
      as we have received quite a number of requests for Unoa girls.

      I really hope everybody can understand.
      We hope we can help you next preordering period.

      Masamichi"

      :(

    4. For those of you who can read Japanese, is there any indication when the preorder for the new bodies will be?

      Edit: This is probably just the wistful dreaming of a broken heart, but I just read the Google translation (better than Babelfish, in my opinion) and they seem to be talking about getting rid of their existing stock ("stock amount end"), rather than creating new dolls. Also, there seems to be something about the dispatch date being soon (July or August), which backs up the previous point. It would certainly explain the lottery, which seems to be very limited, based on what Masamichi is saying.

      Dare I hope that they're just tying up a few loose ends before having the proper, new body preorder sooner rather than later, or is that too far-fetched?

      Can someone who can read Japanese please confirm/dispell Google's translation?

      (It's here, by the way: http://translate.google.com/transla...&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=/language_tools)

    6. In a way, I'm glad the decision has been taken out of my hands. I'll just wait for those new bodies. ^_^

    10. The depression about not seeing my Sist for possibly another year made me order an Elfdoll Catsy.. which is good in it's own way.. :D We'll wait together.. and see if we want to get ourselves a B-el before Sist's arrival..

    11. I know what you mean, bliss, i'm starting to feel this way too... if it's meant to be for me, one will come along, but when obtaining a doll becomes this stressful for me, it's not fun anymore.

    12. Yup...I'm already happy I got myself a Sarang..and soon a Tommy ^^..whispers: I'm gonna give Sarang a Blossom body'^^..she's growing..^^..
