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.

    7. OMG Xanth dolly! SO MUCH LOVE <3 <3 <3

      Aren is soooooooo cute! I got an Uyoo before she came out (or when she'd just come out, I forget) and I kind of wish I'd gotten Aren instead. She's got such a sweet little face! I agree, it's very movie-star-ish.

      (BTW, Blythe shoes fit Mini Gems wonderfully... particularly all the great handmade ones, like Ixtee boots!)
       
    8. My husband LOVES him some Xanth. I needed cool names and Xanth sure has them! I also have Imbri and soon Ryver.

      So, yeah, now you need to get an Aren! You can stay and play though!:lol:
       
    9. She's beautiful! That's a fantastic wig!
       
    10. Who was it, many posts back, who said it's amazing what the camera picks up that you don't see? SO TRUE.

      My Punky Nyangi Aren, Nyssia actually has a bit of glitter sheen on her lips. When I did real closeups, I kept seeing something reflecting inside her mouth, on her "tongue". It took a magnifying glass to locate it's a couple of "crystals" of some iridescent something. Dunno. Until I get around to dabbing a touch of matte coating on them, I just remove them digitally if I find them --

      Just added her to the various databases the other day, now that she's in her "final form":

    11. Ooooh...she's PRETTY! Coming back and reading this post always reminds me that I don't play with darling Vadne nearly as much as I should!
       
    12. Hey folks! Another heads up - Gothic Lolita is selling her Nyangi Punky Aren. What a cute girl!

      I've been off board alot due to my recently purchased Wii, but I hope to get some new pics of Vadne this week as I'm on VACATION! So everyone join in! We need Aren's on vacation pics! C'mon! :lol:
       
    13. Vadne spends some quality time with her little sister Sookie (ND Lucy)​

    16. im so excited! my aren (see post above) is just the standard one. I wanted to get the alice in wonderland but it had sold out, and now soom have the outfit back for sale YAY:aheartbea she will be alice after all!!!
       
    17. Hi everyone! Glad to see this forum as I now have an Aren to match my Uyoo!! Since they are similar in size, I thought they'd make great sisters or cousins or just a good set of best friends!! Anyhow, piccies up soon - but I'm enjoying pictures of all your Arens! She's definitely a cutie and her first day home, she snagged th is lace pinky sheath dress out of our 'closet', but no shoes yet. Oh, she needs a wig or two as well, but so does my incoming Puki Rose! Anyhow...love to see these truly little gals!...

      Here is my Aren! Obviously she is the Alice version :) . I love her little face! Her small size just adds to her vulnerable appeal. I'm so glad I FINALLY found a discussion dedicated to her! :aheartbea

      PS - sorry the picture is so large! :sweat
       
    19. Whoa! I'm so excited to find this thread! I didn't realise there were so many Aren lovers. Looks like a lot of you like the same Aren I did, the You Must Love Me one. She has the best face-up I've seen on any of the mature tinies. And she looks great in anything. I've never even removed her original wig as it adds to her ethereal appearance.

      Mostly she wears high end Barbie stuff (I buy the collector Barbies or the Barbie Millicent Roberts) & strip them for the better made clothing. Most of her shoes are Joe Tai Tiny Kitty ones. She does wear some Tiny Kitty & Coquette clothes but those are short on her, not a problem with dresses or skirts but the pants always end up as capris.

      I also have the tan Uyoo & Souldolls' Kimmy & Metel. The girls all share but poor Kimmy only has a couple of outfits. He's so slender that about the only things that will fit him are vintage or Silkstone Ken. The great thing is that he can wear Ken shoes though so at least he's well shod.

      I always take Aren with me when I do a program on BJDs since she's such a perfect representative of her size. I'd love to get a tan one but my only unbroken rule is "no more than one of any sculpt" & I adore YMLM too much to ever replace her.
       
    20. This is just a wonderful thread--I love seeing all these RL photos posted together. You all have such beautiful dolls (and wonderful photos). I never noticed how gorgeous Aren's mouth is. I just love it!

      OK--that's it. Aren is officially moving up to the next place on my priority list. I'm officially going through my doll collection tomorrow, to see who is next for sale, as well! :) (I can hear them quivering with fear!) ;)
