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.

Argonautica Dolls Discussion

Aug 8, 2016

    1. Thank you so much! This is the color brown.
       
    2. Does anyone own an argodoll in cream and any impldoll in real skin? Trying to see if they match close enough for a hybrid.
       
    3. Hi there, I'm eyeballing one of the Argodoll 1/3rds but am a little weary of their website seemingly not being updated in almost two years? Has anyone ordered recently/know if they're still taking orders?
       
    4. I don’t know about recently, but I’ve been strongly advising people against ordering from argodoll.

      here is a gallery of the flaws that were on my argodoll Zet head, from 2022

      here are the even worse flaws on my Leith head from the same order.

      There are no flaws like this in the dolls they’re constantly showing off on their Instagram, and the sales rep who answered my email pretty much tried to insist they were fine. Some of the raw edges in these heads were sharp enough you could cut a finger on them. I own their plus size body, and she is finished like a normal doll and isn’t so poorly made, but I wouldn’t trust that you’ll get dolls that don’t have parts that can’t fit together, like the gappy head caps on my two heads.

    5. Oh that's horrible to hear, I'll keep that in mind for sure.

    6. Aw, no! I hate to hear that - I ordered the first doll I ever purchased from them (although I don't have her now) and I was thinking about ordering a head in the near-future. I hope that they can resolve any current quality control issues. I've seen a lot of customers happy with their work in the past!

      Edited to add: I talked to Argodoll through Instagram (before visiting this page) and they said you could order through DMs since it is one-woman business and she hasn't had time to update the website yet.

      I might still try ordering a head since she's one of my favorite sculpts ever. 2022 is two years away, after all (they may have improved) and I've always found the artist easy to communicate with. If I do, I'll post about it here!

    7. I would just make sure you pay G&S, so that if she sends you something that looks like what I got, you can at least get some of your money back. Though, I believe Argodoll is in Russia, so i'm not sure if they have paypal available to them at this point. They did when I paid, but a lot has changed.
       
    8. Thank you! I would always make sure to choose G&S! I might ask about the payment types available - Paypal is my go-to for sure.
       
    9. Hi I've never ordered from argodoll before but I'm interested in getting a plus size body for my ns feeple 60. So I have two questions!

      1. What is the wait time for receiving your order?
      2. What resin color would closely match a feeple doll?
       
    10. Got my 1/3 plus size body that I'm using with an Iplehouse EID head. Had trouble finding any images that would show if they would work together, so ended up going on measurements, guesswork, and faith, and I'm pretty happy with the result. Thought I would post some images to let others see how they fit together. Also, am seconding the issues with seams (on her calves, image not included) and that her ankles and maybe her knees need sueding.

    11. One I found this group! I just recently got a Argodoll Kenei and she is gorgeous but I need help with clothes. She has the pear shaped body. What can she comfortably wear? She barely fits standard SD clothes unless stretchy.
       
    12. @vvnem I haven't personally tried it yet, but Argodoll's Plus Girl body has measurements that align with Smart Doll Pear body. I'm planning on ordering her within the next few months, and I'll have to wait for her to arrive, but if the clothes fit I'll be able to confirm at that time. (Smart Dolls are off-topic for DoA so I can't say much else about them here, but they can be discussed in the Brigadoon or by dm.)
