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. Different wig for my Shang Nai (Daisy) as I wanted her to have a fringe/bangs like in her promo pics, since she's just around 13yrs old. Wig from Alices again really good value less than $10 - I got tired of trying to sweep the fringe off her eyes & thought the sideswept fringe looked a bit too mature - so very bravely (IMO LOL - I've ruined many good wigs this way) cut the fringe today! Before and after pics: (and yes she desperately needs a new tee shirt too but I made this one before I'd got her and her head was a lot bigger than I anticipated LOL)

    2. Just a pic of my Shang Nai, Daisy, looking adorable and ready for some summer fun! She's so cute I really love her - AoD did a great job with that faceup & she is so well strung too - creaky tight ATM but will no doubt loosen up & far preferable IMO to too loosely strung!

    3. the face up does look amazing! it was the first thing I noticed. here shoes are really cute too. I've got to restring my AoD soon. I gotta buy new string. nothing is worse than when it's too loose!

    4. Thanks @asukakanea :D I just looked at your Aod on profiles and wow she is an old girl no wonder her elastic's loose now - I know the feeling LOL - but good luck with the restring! I've only ever done 60cm restrings and they require so much strength (which I haven't got) I'm sticking to midi size dolls now

      One thing I've noticed about AoD sculpts is how many of them are gently smiling - they just look like nice happy dolls which I think is part of the appeal for me as so many dolls look so seriously miserable, they make me feel miserable too!

      Having said that I think Lan is next on my wishlist - if you scroll down on Alices Collections AoD listings, her newer style faceup is so sweet & not too tragic - I love that they've all got the blank sculpts photographed now too - it's hard to see past the original AoD promo photos sometimes as they're quite old now

    5. I restrung himiko last year! but before that not so much. she is very old. I need to at some point sand her a bit she yellowed a little. I really love 1/4 size. they're just right. I'm getting a new restring hook. I lost my last one. the tension on a 1/3 must be so tough. I do love how they're gently smiling it's one of the reasons I got the fei model.
