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.

Another Artist Using Doll Likenesses Without Crediting?

Mar 5, 2014

    1. Yes, that's my Laryssa ... I've reposted it to Facebook.
       
    2. Also, as someone said above: Good job guys! We are functioning as a community!

      I saw some dreamworks stuff in there too. Some of the Characters from Kung Fu Panda were there.

      If anyone wants help with writing, I'll do it. Like I said earlier, I have exceptional college essay grades.
       
    3. I guess he went down...the wrong 'Road to War'. Eh?
      Seriously, though, us in the doll community are tight like THAT.
      A big mistake when somebody, ANYBODY tries to steal from anyone of us.
       
    4. That's one of the most pathetic attempts I've ever seen to pass a 'shop job off as real artwork. Least he could've done was airbrush the joints out, but evidently even that's too much effort for a dedicated thief these days.

      Anyway, if anyone wants a formal letter written, I'll volunteer my services. I am extremely good at business communications; it's part of my major.
       
    5. A friend of mine this afternoon reported to me: one of my photos was here too (poor Mistral, lol) and I spammed everywhere this notice (tumblr, seriously, I love you!) and I'm so happy that the Kickstater has fallen! now FB is your turn *W*
       
    6. Do it, we can't chance this Kickstarter takedown thing not sticking...
       
    7. Been following this like crazy...Glad kickstarter took it down. WOOT!!
      GREAT JOB EVERYBODY, {{{stands and applauds}}}.
       
    8. Yayy, I've received it about now.
       
    9. Bumping this one, in case those of you whose pictures were taken haven't shut it down yet. The Kickstarter is in dispute now and unavailable, so I think there may be success there. I haven't read through all of this post yet, so apologies if this is a duplication.
       
    10. Sounds like it's sticking. I think writers are still in order, we got thank you letters to write...
      But seriously, we saved our princess the instant we discovered that the knight had taken her from our castle...now, the miracle would be the facebook...
      :3 <( <3 )
      So long as it involves art theft, and we aren't just ruining this guy's life...
      >.>
       
    11. I tried to file a comment on Kickstarter, but they will only accept info from the original owner of the images.
       
    12. *sigh* My bf thinks this is ok.
       
    13. I just went through the photos again and so very, very many of these are so obviously BJDs. It's disgusting.

      Please, someone let me help nail him!

      And once again, I'm so proud of the community rallying together! Look at what we've done in just one day!
       
    14. Seriously, good job on Kickstarter, guys! That's exciting to see but not over yet. Our work is still all over his personal Facebook and DeviantArt. Unfortunately his personal FB is the biggest offender but I hope that with enough of us reporting the images, it'll all be taken down soon.
       
    15. Thank you everyone for all the help on this <3
       
    16. Apparently my doll is &#8220;Lead Dragon Rider Galas Sevarin of the Cloud Isles&#8221;, I'm so happy to see the Kickstarter has been taken down.
      I reported him to facebook over the photos, hope he learns something at the end of all this.
       
    17. I think he's a troll. I think this is a joke/ruse, and he's getting his jollies by riling everybody in the bjd community. I don't think this is real.
       
    18. I don't know. I think he's trying to make money. He's apparently done it before.

      Once is a joke, maybe. But twice?

      Plus, its not just BJDs and he claims we're "annoying him".
       
    19. I sent messages to LisaToms on Deviant Art regarding use of one of her fox doll photographs, and to BROM via Facebook for use of one of his pieces from his illustrated book. Hopefully they will be able to get their pieces removed as well. Glad the Kickstarter is in dispute!
