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. One good thing to take from this, though, is how the BJD community works together to help each other. I wouldn't have known about this if a BJD friend hadn't told me about it on FB, and the other photographers will only know when we pass the info onto them (quite a few times, probably). Quietly but firmly, we will get this sorted out. Group hug!

    2. Having seen this earlier this year as well, I completely agree. It's amazing what this community can do for each other when working together! <3

    3. Indeed. :) All I can figure is that he had absolutely no idea how large the community really is. Although that seems strange to me considering the amount of work to be found on DA and Flickr.

    4. He has also used photographs belonging to Marina, the maker of enchanted doll. Matter of fact he used the image from the cover of HER art book.

    5. I asked him to remove the images he photoshopped of my photos from his facebook or else I will have to report him to FB.

      What do we do about the kickstarter? I am most worried about him making money off of a book of our photos.

      I also posted on my FB to get the word around even more.

    6. This is the second scam I been made aware of. When I reported (as a charity project since he didn't do **** to earn the $1000 he wants) I notice there's a report-charity-project button, That's a new feature. It must have been added as a response to the first scam as i seen about their 8 year ild daughter wants to go to video game camp and thousands of people pour money to it without thinking.

      May I suggest to "donate" a dollar and inform the backers (who may or may not be affiliated) through the comments section with links? I was about to do just that but forgot Den Of Angel threads are inaccessible

    7. Hi Folks,
      I filed a claim on Facebook .. it was a little hard to figure out so I thought I would share how to do it for those who can still access his facebook >>>

      How to claim copyright infringement in Facebook

      Click on photo you want to report
      at the bottom it says "options"
      then click "report"
      then at the bottom of the box you will see "is this your intellectual property" then click "continue"
      then click "report this to facebook as legal rights infringement" click "continue"
      then under where it says Copyright .. click on "learn more"
      then look for Reporting Copyright Infringements
      Then click on "how do I report a claim of copyright infringement"
      Then amongst the message in the third paragraph it will say online form. Click on that
      Then click "copyright" then the same page will add some options so click "continue with your copyright claim"
      then highlight "I found content which I believe violates my copyright" then it will add more options on the same page so click on "Please click here to continue with a copyright report" then it will bring up the form for you to fill in.

    8. I think I'd prefer to message some of the backers and just gently let them know what he's done and ask that they leave a comment. Though I don't recommend sending a bunch of people to do it--maybe one representative. I don't want to harass people to get this resolved.

    9. https://www.kickstarter.com/help/copyright Here's the link to the Kickstarter copyright infringement page. You can fill out their DMCA form from there.

    10. That would be nice. My condolences to all who are involved. This is just terrible

    12. Report it to kickstarter if you own any photos "Intellectual property violation. A project is infringing on your copyright or trademark."
       
      #172 Biff, Mar 5, 2014
    13. Did anyone post about this on Dollieh sanctuary, dairyland, or other such forums?
       
      #173 Hansongirl97, Mar 5, 2014
    14. There is one of my girl photo too.
      How cute.
      I'll already reported him on FB and Kickstarter.
      And now I'll spread the voice over my friends.

    15. I can still see his FB. I could take some screen shots too. This is so disgusting. Does this happen often?

      Let's nail this guy.

    16. This guy is either super lazy, or hates his own art. I mean, I've been super critical of my own drawings and such, but not enough to the point that I'd steal other's art work. In other news, my dolls & doll pictures aren't awesome enough to steal for this scam of his...both a good thing, and a punch to my self-esteem's guts. I'mma lurk in my 'anger at art theft' and 'depressed at lack of drawing skill' corner...well, I got time to practise...apparently this guy didn't.
      Also...

      Looks like a Kaye Wiggs Laryssa, maybe?
      Also, the Kickstater has fallen, I believe...

    20. Wow the Kickstarter is down, well done guys! I notified a couple of the art doll artists that had their work stolen too, i haven't heard back from them yet.
      Has anyone heard from him directly yet?
