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.

Angell-Studio Youth (58-61cm) and Charm (62-71cm) Discussion Vol. 3

Apr 14, 2017

    1. @ryuunohime Yes, I did get her through Christina! I happened to be up just when she made the post! Maybe she ended up being able to get more than 1? I hope you are still able to get her!! I don't know quite how many sets there are in total, but from angell studio's weibo seemed like there were maybe 40 all together?

      I have emailed them quite a few times but they never have answered me, I am not sure why :( so all my AS dolls/clothes have been purchased through Christina!

    2. @fate_xo Nice!! She said she only had the one, but who knows, maybe I will get lucky. That's great timing on your part catching her post, I'm happy for you! Be sure to post pictures when you get her. :D

      I'm going to give it one last shot and email AS directly too and see if they get back to me. It's worth a try. Of course it's the middle of the night in China right now, and they might not be in until Monday...the suspense is going to kill me, lol.

    3. Aw, well thank you! I still hope you can get her! I sometimes wake up at 3am (leftover habit from working midnights) so I just got lucky and checked my phone! I will definitely post pics once I get her though! And it doesn't hurt to ask them. Maybe AS may consider making some more sets of both the Knight and Queen ver. of Kelly considering how fast she went? I don't know that any of their fullsets have gone this fast!

      I saw her on a few other dealers pages, dolk and legenddoll, I don't have experience with dolk, but I have purchased recently with legenddoll and they seemed pretty responsive? I don't see the fullset but it might not hurt to ask there as well :)
       
    4. omg if they re-release the queen fullset i'd be ever so thankful. I've attempted to email AS, but no response :< I'm wondering if i'm going to have to figure out xianyu

    5. I managed to snag a fullset of Kelly Knight!!! I'm so excited. I've been after a girl doll with armor for years, and I kept missing out on them for one reason or another (and they're few and far between to start with.) So this is like a grail of mine!

      I'm really looking forward to seeing all the detail work, Angell Studio always does an incredible job. :D

    6. Omg, congratulations!! She is really special--I am glad you were able to get her! :3nodding: How did you end up buying her?

      I am so excited to see her armor outfit in real life! The boots look so cool :XD:

    7. @fate_xo Oops, I should've added that info. I ended up getting her through Christina as well, so I guess that means she got her hands on more than one!

    8. Oh wow this is great news!! I am glad we were both able to get her! A shame the Queen ver. Sold out so quick--I would have gotten both outfits if I could!
       
    9. I'm still shocked the Queen ver. was gone that fast. It is gorgeous, though.

      Does anyone have any idea on the turnaround time from AS right now? I saw the waiting room thread hadn't been posted in since October...

    10. When I ordered from TaoBao last year, it was about three months between ordering and it arriving to the official TB shipping consolidator. But there was no outfit involved, just a face-up.

    11. I had just ordered AS Kelly fullset via Dolk. Pricier than Christina (new clover singing) but it is what it is q.q

      If anyone's interested in knight fullset, the listing is up on Dolk US website. However, I don't see the Queen fullset version there.

    12. Congrats! Have you ever used Dolk before? I always wondered how the experience is ordering with them. I managed to order my fullset through Christina but was curious!
       
    13. @Kurosakura Thanks for the reply! I also asked Christina and she said 3-4 months, so here's hoping it's that fast. :D

      @fate_xo I too want the sword and shield, but I haven't gotten any response at all from AS about whether they were just props (like the horse.) I guess they really have stopped answering emails, which sucks. If all else fails, I have a SartoriaJ sword (hopefully won't be too big?) but I don't have a shield. Hrm.

      @skyadmirer Awww, that's a bummer. :(
       
    14. @skyadmirer Oh no! So sorry to hear that :pout: I did see that Knight Kelly went up on the AS Doll official site finally as well...a shame she's so limited in terms of time.

      @ryuunohime I asked Christina about it! Will let you know if I hear anything! Not sure if she will really have any info, but Angell Studio has never replied to me anytime I have emailed or contacted them directly LOL. I kind of wish they at least had included or made the sword an option for her fullset! I just want everything to match haha but the sword looked especially cool!
       
    15. :] Hello! Could anyone provide pictures of AS's milk skin in different lighting? I just placed an order for Jing in milk after debating back and forth between solid butter and milk (and have gone through pictures from this thread, which were very helpful, especially the comparison picture from pages ago) and I just wanted to see how it photographs for owners in different lighting, particularly sunlight/daylight if you have any pictures like that.

      Thanks so much!
       
    16. @RococoSpring I like it. I have 4 dolls in milk and 1 body in butter to use a FL NS head. Milk is AS's most popular color imo but it's more like a pink undertone white of other companies.
       
    17. @bahboh That's good to hear! I liked that it looked like it had a bit of a pink undertone while not being too white. I don't really like many of the white resins I've seen because they make dolls look kind of ghostly to me. But I was worried since butter photographed really yellow in some lighting... so I guess I'm just hoping that milk seems like a realistic pale skin tone rather than off-white. :]
       
    18. @RococoSpring All 3 of my mermaids are in milk skin. mostly indoor lighting, primarily with white light led light bulbs in the ceiling or lighting the cabinet, some daylight lighting from a window, and like one outdoor set,
      Luna, is the oldest, 2nd hand from a hot country, and did have some yellowing. i did switch out her upper chest/arms out from a newer set.
      Sola
      Terra
      For a view of AS butter, This photo set is of the AS60 body with indoor evening lighting with a room lit up with an LED floor lamp (the head is FL NS).
