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.

    2. An old AR - Cien? - I believe. He was originally a closed-eye head, and the previous owner started doing eye opening. However, she put the body up for sale, but when I bought it, along came the head! I may work a bit more on the eyes sometime in the future, but for now, he's my little blind-eye fellow --

      Edit: it doesn't show that much in this set of pictures I took, but the white AR resin actually did turn kind of Beauty Green. Which may be another reason to de-orange/red-ify the faceup. It really accents the green tone in person. Has anyone gotten the new Soom AR's in white? I know old Soom resin also turned a greenish tone (and very quickly sometimes. Two minigems arrived that way!), but I'm wondering about their newer resin mixes. There are one or two of the mini face sculpts I like a lot!

    5. Echo-chan, Angelregion is the company that got bought out by Soom, and Little Fair is the name they gave their minis, so if your doll has an Angelregion plate on the back of her head this is the right place :) What sculpt is she? I have an Angelica, the one with the semi closed eyes, which was actually made by Not Doll Labs, but AR took over the sculpt.

    6. I have a Little Cein. inside on the bottom of her head plate says Kali's ceinoo, then in the middle says little fair. Her name is Emiko. She was secondhand from a friend. Then another friend that owns a one person BJD company that modded her breasts

    7. Headplate? Neither of my boys has one. When did AR start doing headplates?

    10. No, that's the head cap, but some companies put a little plate on that with the company name or logo on it, eg. Volks and Customhouse.

    11. ok then there is no head plate. the logo is carved in the head cap :doh

      I'm just hoping that she isn't a recast. I looked all over the doll list to make sure she isn't one
       
      #331 echo-chan713, Dec 23, 2012
    12. Have you looked at the Soom site to identify which Little Fair she is? And is Kali the name of her previous owner? While Soom's fantasy dolls have been prone to pirating, I don't think their Neo-Angelregion ones have.

    14. I just realised there's a photo of your girl a few posts ago, d'oh! Very weird that she's inscribed that way, maybe email Soom and ask them?

    15. I just talked to my friend that sold me the doll.

      So she has no idea about the head cap engraving. And I'm not finding a section in the soom website to send them an email about the situation

    16. That's certainly a Cien, but the headcap shouldn't say anything but "Little Fair Cien" inside. Here's the inside of one of my Rens' headcaps (sorry for poor picture):

      [​IMG]

      The name is spelled "Cien," too, not "Cein," so if it says "Cein" then it's probably a recast. :(

      P.S. You may want to edit the picture of your Cien... she's sitting on a check and I can read the person's entire address!

    18. Huh, that doesn't look much like mine! At first I wondered if someone might've carved the "kali" and "oo" part in and your Cien is a modded sleeping Cien, which would explain the "S Cien" and why the other text doesn't quite match. But the picture I took is from a Present Ren and it doesn't say anything to differentiate the eyes (half closed), it just says "Ren." Your carving also wouldn't be centered if it weren't the entire thing, AND that text is much lower than mine, but that could be because it's a different doll. I'm at a loss!

      I wonder if any other Cien owners could show the inside of their headcaps? Maybe that would explain some of the differences.

      EDIT: I just found this on NeoAngelregion. It appears they have had issues with recasting. It doesn't say which dolls, though.

    19. The doll was made before Soom bought Angel Region. I want to contact them about it but I can't find an email address to send the message to

    20. Perhaps your cien was one of the "only for you" dolls Angel Region did a few years back, maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Since it was a custom doll for one specific person they could have personalised the head cap. Maybe inquire with the previous owner if you have their info and if they might know.
