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.

Arashi's joints

    1. I'm with aimee on this one, I think he's perfect. I love his sweet (but not evil anime bug giant eyeballs) face and his more mature MSD sized boy body and the posablilty is awesome awesome. *fingers itch for gorgeous joints* oooo so bendy.

      I wouldn't change a thing on him, except the fact that he's going to be damn near impossible to get. (and his coveralls are a teeny bit silly, but I'll let that go for the mesh shirt factor)

      He does look a lot like Isao, but that's an advantage at least for me; I love Isao desperately and have for years but can't possibly afford one, not to mention that our dollsize is in the MSD range and we haven't got plans for larger dolls for a while.

      Maybe if I sew my brains out I can sell enough stuff to earn up the twelve quadjillion dollars he's going to cost. Wah.

      Anybody need MSD pirate shirts? ^_^;

    2. I hear ya XD I was a little disappointed when Volks' official pictures came out and didn't think I really liked him.... But after seeing the auction photos - what a cute little face :D I hope since they called him "Arashi (Dolpa13 ver.)" this means he'll pop up again in some form or another when my bank account can handle getting him. *pipe dreams of a standard version*

      Otherwise, it's off to stalk y!j for many moons....

    4. Sign: [BEWARE OF WHINING]

      T_________T I waant one so baaad! He looks exactly like a mini-Tsukasa, and if only he wasn't mini, he would be a Tsukasa and my dream of a Tsukasa under the inflated price of $200000 will have come true :crushed

      [the worst is over] :oops:

      Edit: And he has such perfect ears!

      [I lied about it being over]

    9. Ohhhhh darn this boy is so tempting me....gaaaaahhh...I must not give in to more cuteness! Pocket Fairy on the way :chibi ...no more doll dollars available for sometime. :cry: Must keep checkbook and monies secured in purse...pre-orders are forbidden (sob!) :crushed ...just stop looking at him can't you?! Then I swear my Kaede-Sugar winks at me as if to reinforce her affection for this potential boyfriend in just the right size for her. :wink: Ahhhh, all I can do now is thank Volks for not making Arashi look like Heath or all resistance would be futile! LOL! :lol:

      Hugs, Juli DC :daisy

    10. I think your safe preorder ended a while ago with doll and hobby at least.

    11. Hi TL,

      Yeah...I know, but there's always "evil bay" and "yikes Japan"! :lol: Still lovin' my Kaede from you though... :D And let me tell ya she is one pampered dolly, despite her hints, she might not like sharing the spotlight with another BJD her size. Right? Work with me here...I'm trying to completely convince myself. :wink:

      Hugs, Juli DC :daisy

    12. Yeh thats a hard one,well he will look a bit too much like her brother right! they have a similar look. So no boyfriend for her.

    13. He's the first official Asian BJD that I have (not counting those old Live Action made in Japan Barbies, do they count?)

      I attempted the Volks ordering and got nowhere. Was so depressed I went right over to Ebay and bought him. And I am so glad, because he is incredibly posable, very photogenic, well sculpted and his head is just the right size for his body.

      It's just hard finding the right clothes for him. Hoping once Volks is here in the states it will get easier. And it's forcing me to be creative.

      I don't regret getting him one bit. Kinda nice to have a boy doll around.

      Of course everyone has their own opinion and preferences, which is good. And yes, he does have all of those double joints, which means sometimes I have to move his knee caps into the right position (not broken, just looks weird sometimes)
