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. I have to say, this doll grabbed me the second I caught a glance of the teaser!
      FABULOUS!!!!:D
      Thankfully, I don't do boy dolls so my funds (or lack of!) are safe for now!
      Though I have to admit, I'm really hoping they'll start making female dolls!

    3. Hugely stunning doll. And yeah. Totally reminds me of the Soom dolls, though that may be because of the fantasy nature of the sculpt.

    8. Thanks Tosh! Not a bad body at all. I like it. <333
      And Absynthe, it's QUITE an entrance for a new company.. Poor Soom is going to have some competition! XD
       
      #8 YukiOokami, Aug 26, 2009
    9. I too hope they release a female version!
      Though I'm not sure they have any plans to do so right now.. somewhere on the site it said they have plans for 3 men and a junior (could be girl?), but no specific mention of a female.
      MAYBE THAT'S A GOOD THING!:sweat

    10. Maybe because the faceup looks like a cross between Heliot/Sard/Vega
      along with the very long neck...but so not for me. Not a fan of Medusa
      or snakes. Scary but I guess interesting enough to make me comment;)

      hmm guessing the snakes have magnets, you can always put them
      on a female doll yourself..

      Soom has nothing to feel bad/worry about:aheartbea

    11. Wow, this is very cool! A snake-haired doll is nothing I'd want for myself, but it does bring hope of some very interesting future sculpts!

    12. they say:

      Pre Launching Announcement - ZION


      On 26th of Aug, after our painful long development, we are thrilled to represent our very first doll 'ZION - THE MEDUSA' to everyone and pleased to pre-launched our site. We think we may need one more week to get 'ZION' ready to show off full features and to prepare other product lineup too. Well, as all of you can expect, we have a very long journey to establish a decent BJD studio - Angelheim. There are number of projects still on our desk and those have been on process about a year.

      For our lanunching ZION, We are planning to have a Launching Event during the first pre-order period, and we will announce.

      To give all of you a quick glance about our vision, Angelheim will represent Fantasy & Mythical world. In near future at Elder Heim, we will release 3 male soon, and also about same time frame, we will release Junior Heim too.

    13. I bet the snakes are removable and it's a really beautiful sculpt. :) Can't wait to see more!
       
      #13 PenguinCheese, Aug 26, 2009
    14. I wonder if JuniorHeim will be MSD sized?
      So many people have been wishing for Soom to make MSD sized fantasy dolls for sometime now, so I'm SURE if AngelHeim will sell incredibly well if this is their plan!!
       
      #14 midnitestar7, Aug 26, 2009
    15. i only hope the prices wont be so high as Soom :XD:
      or we'll all have to sell a kidney
       
      #15 Tosh, Aug 26, 2009
    16. and the pupiless eyes :sweat but yeah, i am reeeeeally glad it a male... my wallet thanks them :lol:

    17. Very interesting! I am amazed at the quality of some of these new companies lately. Angelheim obviously has a Soom influence, but the body and head sculpt is decidedly unique and very beautiful. It will be very interesting to see what they do.

    19. Are there more pics? I looked at their site but couldn't find anything else.
      The main thing putting me off (besides the snakes) is the lack of
      definition of the body. Aren't there enough super skinny long necked
      dolls around? My eyes keep going to the neck that to me looks more
      like a pole and the very odd looking shoulder joints.
      I would be more impressed also if the snakes were different, not all just open
      mouthed. Maybe the head will look nice/match on another body?

      edit: just found the body pics....it looks like it may have better
      posing/flexibility than Sooms (the only thing I wish they would change)
      but the neck/shoulders and rib cage are just odd to me.

      But it's always fun seeing a new company, and it's great that so many
      are liking them already:fangirl:
       
      #19 Lula78, Aug 26, 2009
    20. Very nice concept. A male Gorgon.

      Not too keen on the body though. Why have a high chest joint and a low one as well? Surely better to have a waist joint if you are going to have a three-part torso. Also, the muscle details look a little off. Some particualrly fantasy stuff going on around the serratus and iliac. I guess we have been spoiled by Soom's superlative sculpting skills.

      Still, not too shoddy. It will be interesting to see how this pans out, but I think I am safe.
