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.

Angel of Dream (AOD) 1/4 size discussion thread Part 2

May 15, 2007

    1. Me too Mysteriousmage!
      Because I am technically still waiting for AOD's, I'll still be in the waiting room.

      After both body types arrive I'll line them up for pictures and compare the old body's to the new body's and measure them.
      The newer girl and the newer boy are very close in height.
      The new girl may be taller than the old girl.
      I'll wait and take measurements to be sure.
       
    2. The_Modern_Maiden: I cant wait to see them! It will be interesting to see what the differences are! I'm not sure if I've ever seen the AoD's muscular body. Now I'm wondering if I have a new or old one! >_< lol Not that I care, I love my Tallith anyways.
       
    3. This is the best pic to show off the muscle body that I could find of one of my AoD boys (they're both from 2008). This is Jaiseki (NY Min, face-up, body work by Angel Toast). While you can do a lot with blushing, the abs you see are actually part of the sculpt and I think it's a damn shame that's not something the new bodies have.

    4. Agreed Iron_Dog!
      I am waiting for my boys to finally be mostly themselves!
      After they have the right body's, I'll measure them, then it's on to face-ups, tattoos, and scars!
      Then of course wigs, eyes, and the hardest clothes/shoes... that will probably take the longest.

      I hope they bring it back someday, that was one of the main reasons I chose AOD to buy from!
       
    5. her fox ears are super cute annalinehalo! And what other girl might you be getting soon? :)
       
    6. Congratulations annalineihalo!
      Her ears are cute, and the wig is nice too!

      Good News!

      My two 2010 muscular body's with Min and Chen heads from catw07 arrived!
      I will probably upload pictures to photobucket tomorrow and post a box opening!

      No word from AOD about the white AB402 body yet, but still waiting!
       
    7. congrats on getting your bodies!! can't wait to see pictures!
       
    8. It's a luts Kiel something. I am not really sure xD
       
    9. Good to hear that everything is starting to work out for you, The_Modern_Maiden. Can't wait to see your crew all finished. Especially Gene...:D

      And here's some Chen spam for everyone:

      [​IMG]

      His name is Silas.
       
      • x 1
    10. Your Silas is awesome Maxtastic he looks so moody!
      I decided to keep my 2012 Chen as Gene and let the 2010 Chen be Ron... Min will be Fred... but need to fix that darn head cap somehow.
      The older one's eyes are a lot smaller and the ears are bigger on the old one.

      Also update about Harry's body:

      :x Super frustrated and feel like my head is going to explode!

      Response from AOD:
      Hi, the shipping cost is $40, please send $20 more. We made a mistake for shipping cost last time.

      My response:
      No, when I go to aoddoll.net and add white male body for $120 to my shopping cart it cost $19 to send to my address EMS shipping.
      If I bought a $120 body the shipping would be $19 and the total would be $139.00
      It is not $40 for one body.
      It is only $19.
      The $20 I sent is enough.

      Send a white AB402 body to:
      Tiffany ***
      *****
      ***, Texas ***
      USA

      In other news:
      I am working on the yarn wig, and remodeling the pink doll kitchen.
      Also I came up with this AOD 1/4 comparison, but still need to measure them:
      http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...-Dream-Comparison-of-Sex-Year-Skin-and-Sculpt
       
    11. The_Modern_Maiden
      According to aoddoll.net, it cost $19 to send to any address, so either they have bad shipping calculator or put fixed shipping fee with some kind of mistake. Their Happyhouse dealer, though, calculates shipping right, and ebay dealer has free shipping.
       
    12. The_Modern_Maiden: Seen side-by-side like that... the difference between the body styles is really startling. Going from my shoddy memory, the new AoD boy bodies look very similar to the Doll-Love bodies (I have a DL boy), which makes sense if they are actually sister companies. It looks like their NY has darkened, too.
       
    13. Yes, Iron_Dog they are drastically different!
      I added more photos to try to show exactly that; and I really should measure them soon/eventually.
       
    14. Just to note if you're doing a database thing, neither of my AoD boys from 2008 have the feather or name plates. My AoD collab doll (OT for this thread) doesn't either. He's a NY from 2009, BTW and his resin is the same colour as my 2008 NY boy. I think it may be safe to say that when they changed the bodies/sculpts, they changed everything including the tone of their resin (or at least the NY one going by your boys).
       
    15. Maiden: I think your comparison is really great! I've been looking around trying to find comparisons with AOD resin color and other companies but havent found much on that either. I'm selling some things so that I can get my You head a body. And now after seeing how nice the AOD muscled bodies are... I really want one for him! *sigh* I've heard that Dollzone is the closest match to AOD resin color... but their boy bodies i think are even worse than the new AOD bodies. >.> Guess i'll have to put a feeler out on the MP thread. I really understand why you wanted the muscle bodies now!
       
    16. Mysteriousmage: You may also want to check some retailers/dealers to see if they still have some of the older bodies in stock. I think that's how The_Modern_Maiden got the muscle bodies she needed even after they changed the sculpt.
       
    17. Thank you Iron-Dog!
      I put a WTB thread out and a dealer messaged me.

      Mysteriousmage good luck, and check the marketplace!
       
    18. Thank you both of you. I have put up a WTB thread on the MP... I did notice that two people had the old body, one was on hold and the other came with the head and said they wouldn't do splits. I have been thinking to possibly contact catw07 to see if she had any more old bodies, but i visited her LJ sale blog and it said she didnt have any bodies right now. Might have to ask Happy House and see if they have any or not....
