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. Good luck Stephanie. I hope they'll refund you the money.

    3. Oh no! :( Did they say why?

    5. Because there was a miscommunication between us about the face up and they thought I OKed it when I didn't really. They offered to repaint it if I send it back. I asked them if they will pay shipping so we'll see.

      Though I honestly don't know if I trust them to do it right this time either. I had asked to add more color to the lips (that's what bothered me most) and they said the artist said no because s/he thought it would ruin the look... although that's what the Mousse faceup has and I wanted that. x-x So it seems the artist doesn't want to do what the customer wants. Such a pity, I paid what, $60 for that? x-x

    6. I hope everything goes well for you Stephanie :( My heart goes out to you!
      Well I actually can't blame them for the miscommunication because their main language spoken is Chinese. Because the last time I emailed them in English, even I got really confused and I am used to reading tons of broken English, I guess.
      Next time, I'm considering emailing them in Chinese lol.

    7. ....I'm wondering if it's just because it's hard to redo details on already sealed/glossed layers of the faceup.
       
      #187 KingOfChains, Mar 16, 2013
    8. zorua: That's true. Darn these language barriers!

      King: Which I understand, I usually do my own face ups... but considering the face up is so vastly different from what I asked... The Mousse face up has more pink blush, has purple eye shadow, and pink lips. The face up I got has pale blush, black eyeshadow, and neutral lips. It's just... not at all the same... which is sad since I paid $60 for that face up. Only thing different I asked for was black eyebrows and lashes, it shouldn't have changed the whole face up.


      Either way, they said they won't pay shipping; I'd have to pay to ship the head to them, then they'd pay to send it back. I paid enough for her as it is and with the way the artist said s/he wasn't willing to change it because s/he didn't think it would look right... I don't trust that they'd do what I want this time either. *sigh* I guess I"ll consider it a loss and just know better not to pay for face ups from companies again... or anyone really. I paid someone for a face up once and they got it all wrong too. I'm too jaded... I"ll just do my own for now on. :(

    9. I'm so sorry about all this, Call Me Stephanie. Do you at least still love your girl?
       
      #189 mysteriousracerj, Mar 16, 2013
    10. I'm sorry about your experience, Stephanie! It's weird too, because I have been around six AS face-ups irl and I never had this problem, each of them was more beautiful than the next. I guess maybe something has changed since I last ordered from them a year ago. I hope you love your girl anyway, she's such a a sweetie!
       
      #190 Wennie, Mar 16, 2013
    11. Awww >: I'm sorry to hear about all that Stephanie ;;-;; Hope you'll love her a lot after you change it yourself. I usually don't commission people for my face-ups, but the ones my friend has or ones that came with company face-up, I was always very satisfied with ;;-;;
       
      #191 Shailara, Mar 16, 2013
    12. She's still adorable. I think I'll add color later but I'm pregnant right now so it'll be a while before I can do that.

      Oh well, life lessons sadly. I think I'm more disappointed in how they handled it.
       
      #192 Call Me Stephanie, Mar 17, 2013
    13. I'm glad you still love her. And congrats on your incoming baby! :D

    14. Thanks. :)

    15. Oh my, congratulations on your incoming baby!

    16. Hello! I've only recently gotten into collecting BJDs, but this little girl caught my eye and won't let go. X3 I was wondering if anyone had multiple Angell-Studio dolls and could show me the skin color differences? If it wouldn't be too much trouble? ^.^;
       
      #196 Akutenshi7, Mar 20, 2013
    17. Hi there! Cassie is amazing, I want one too! I have four AS dolls in different skin colors, but they are various ages and it's generally quite difficult to catch the differences on photo. But I think there are some photos of the different resin colors on the AS website somewhere, maybe you can search there?
       
      #197 Wennie, Mar 20, 2013
    18. Then, may I ask which is your favorite? ^^
       
      #198 Akutenshi7, Mar 21, 2013
    19. Certainly :) My favorite is the solid butter, it's closest to other companies' normal skin and it's a lovely peachy tone!
       
      #199 Wennie, Mar 21, 2013
    20. Hey akutenshi7! I helped you search for the skintone comparisons from the AS website ^v^
      Cassie's sculpt is really adorable!
