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.

    3. Eek! It's Sebastian and Ciel XDDD
      They kind of look like Abel and Cain (who I already have) so I'll probably skip out, but a Ciel-ish outfit that will definitely fit my Cain? I'm in!

      AS seem to be a very anime-based company ^.^; The Angel Sanctuary ones first, then Andrea's school uniform is straight out of VampireKnight, now this XD

      There are enough differences to where I'm not calling foul (I actually really like how they altered he Ciel one)

    4. Oooh which ones are the Angel Sanctuary dolls? I didn't see those.
      I kinda like the anime-looking-ness of the new dolls (so far it hasn't struck me as particularly comic/cartoon based, but I'm out of the loop). Gives them nice clean lines with the outfits~ And good designs.

    5. I completely gave in and got the Lucifer one, he came in just this week. Angel Sanctuary is one of my absolute favorites. The butler outfit for the 10th reminds me alot of GodChild/The Cain Saga, but for me, that's a good thing and I'm thrilled about that. :)

    7. lol I am not surprised at all. They really do love copying designs. Eh, not sure how I feel about it. I was a bit upset with the Angel Sanctuary ones though at least with these the dolls themselves are really made up like the characters, just the clothes. And gotta admit the details on the outfits are quite nice. But not sure if I'd want them. Maybe if the Ciel like outfit was for a MSD...but alas.

    8. I love these outfits >.< I wish there were more kuroshitsuji/victorian styled clothes :3
       
      #28 Shelly, Sep 8, 2009
    9. Yeah, WHEN will a compandy finally do Cielish clothes for MSD?

      And I mean CielISH outfits, not an exact copy... =_=' Or IF a company does, how about asking for the rights?

      I also don't think that Dollmore every asked Toboso for using Ciels dress <_<

    11. i dont know why but it seems like as boys are more or less having the same expression :O i love their girls though. :)

    12. I love his hat&#65281;
       
      #32 hyunxin, Sep 9, 2009
    13. I know that these outfits have a definite Kuroshitsuji vibe (I will die if they do a Greil XD) but that picture is a near total paint over of a image from Pandora Hearts.

      And as far as Angel Sanctuary is concerned, where is that correlation, having a doll named Lucifer? Dolkot has a Lucifer too and I never got an Angel Sanctuary vibe from him. :?

    14. :D How did I miss this?

      ...damn, I really want those outfits. *__* As for the issue of copying, eh, to me it's fine if something is a knock-off or inspired by other things as long as it is not an exact copy. Look at the slew of vaguely british-y stories about magical misfit boys that popped up after Harry Potter, or the huge round of new vampire tv series and merchandise after Twilight's success. Besides, this style of dress is at least as similar to some of the popular seamstresses on y!j like Sweeney as it is to Kuroshitsuji, and I'm fairly certain that this style has been around since before Kuroshitsuji and may have influenced the mangaka. Actually, when I first saw Kuroshitsuji, my thought was that Ciel dressed like a bjd - funny to see how it's come full circle now. ;)

      Anyway, I love these outfits and the dolls are gorgeous too. :)

    15. same sentiments.

      the dolls exudes the looks of sebastian and ciel from kuroshitsuji.
      but they still look gorgeous and lovable ^^

    16. Does Yana Toboso know that Angell Studio copied her style/clothes/characters?

    17. I don't know if such direct copy is allowed.
      Ok, get inspired is not the problem, but they COPIED the whole Manga..... ._.
      Sad somehow.
       
      #37 LucifersChoice, Sep 10, 2009
    18. Copied? I could see that maybe AS got inspired by this manga artist, but copied?

      I didn't know Yana Taboso has the copyright for tuxedos. And heaven forbid someone else other than Mr. Taboso draw a character that's holding a skull, because we know that's a completely original idea, am I right? :/
       
      #38 Hornisse, Sep 10, 2009
    19. Just look on the Pictures.
      we DONT say that the TUXEDO is copied >_>"
       
      #39 LucifersChoice, Sep 10, 2009
    20. Hah.ha.
      YES copied because the clothes and some of the poses and settings are identical ^^
