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.

Asleep Eidolon (AE Int'l) minis discussion part 2

May 31, 2007

    1. Lovely seeing some Asleep Eidolon minis,
      I just ordered my coral from a chinese taobao seller, she'll be arriving in 70 days (eek)
      Can anyone tell me what wig size they take? It seems they have 7inch head circ. so would 6-7 wigs fit her?
      or is 7-8 a better size for her? I have some 6-7 wigs for my unoa so I'm hoping it'll fit her...

    2. I have a custom made wig for my Coral, but pretty sure she can wear 6/7 wigs. I'd need to check to be sure though. :P The Coral head is pretty small, so I don't think you'll have much to worry about with the wigs you already got.

    3. [MENTION=62245]Karmiya[/MENTION]: I've had lots of problems with MSC, so I switched over to using that Zokeimura Fininishing Powder you can get from the Volks store. I had to get it anyway because MSC has kind of a white-ish cast to it? so it makes tan dolls look weird. ZM spray doesn't do that, and so far I've had a lot more luck with it not acting funny in higher humidities.

      I've noticed that with the ankles/knees. I'm not as worried about the kneecaps getting damaged, but sometimes they get a bit stuck and don't slide out right... xD

      I like the way the body looks a lot. ^^ It's just hard to buy pre-made clothes. I'm slowly getting better at sewing, though, so hopefully I can make her more clothes that fit her better. It also isn't really a problem with anything but pants/leggings. Dresses and skirst are fine. ^^

      [MENTION=69663]geeonek[/MENTION]: 6-7 wigs, I've found, are generally too small for my Coral. Mint on Card sent a 6/7 wig with her when I bought her, and I couldn't even get it on her head. It probably depends on how much stretch the wig has, though. That one didn't have very stretchy elastic. I've always gotten her 7-8 wigs, though, and they fit perfectly.

    4. [MENTION=69663]geeonek[/MENTION]: Congrats on your Coral! I'm sorry about the wait, though ^^; And I'd agree with ChronicallySpaced- a 6/7 wig might work, but it will depend on its make, and also the style! I tried a 6/7 wig on my Pear, and it was dreadful. It fit on with some stretching, but the fringe and hair just weren't made to frame an msd head, so it gave the impression of this odd receding hairline... You can always try your 6/7 wigs which you already have and see if any might work (maybe if they're longer?), but if you're getting new ones I'd definitely just go for 7/8 to be sure of a good fit.
      [MENTION=57781]ChronicallySpaced[/MENTION]: I'm actually poking around at a method which doesn't involve aerosol sealants at all. I have some fears of gas masks and using toxic materials at all, and for various reasons I just don't feel comfortable taking my doll outside... Well, it's more convenient for me to figure something else out. And while it's not going to be as durable as a regular MSC-style faceup, I think I'm getting a method sorted out which will work for me ^^

      The knees do look good that way, though ^^ I'm always very happy with the variety of sitting poses she can handle comfortably. The way her swivel thigh part can be manoeuvred out to bring one thigh higher up than the other is also very useful.

      Ah, none of my dolls will wear trousers anyway (okay, except maybe one), so that's easier at least! Obviously my own preferences influence my character designs, which in turn influence my dolls ^^;;

    5. [MENTION=62245]Karmiya[/MENTION]: Not having to use sealants would be nice, but not feasible for me personally. xD But I'm glad you're figuring out another method! As for me, I'll just continue to scare my neighbors by going outside in my respirator. I'm sure they all think my roomie and I are a little nuts.

      Yeah! I'm always impressed how well that body sits. :) When I first got her, I used to like to bring her to work when I was working overtime and pose her in cute sitting positions on my desk. There was never anyone else in the office, so it was fun to have her there keeping me company.

      Haha hey, at least your preferences are convenient. xD I really want to get Takara some more dress-like outfits, but I don't have any doll funds right now. There is a whole lot of fabric around, though, so I need to stop being lazy and try not to fail at sewing. :sweat

    6. Ahhh, all your dolls are so pretty! I'm definitely sure Coral and Cherry are the perfect sculpts for Kara and Jun now ^^ It's gonna be a few months before I get them paid off, but I'm already so excited!!

      I made a little doodle to show off my new doll plans, haha =P (The doll pictures are from MoC, the doodles are my girls ♥)

      I'm just so excited, I can hardly stand it! They're gonna be my first MSDs too, so that'll be cool. My best friend has an MSD so I'm sort of used to the size, but I'll have some of my very own!!

    7. Ohhh cute doodles! :D I think they're gonna look great.

    8. I want to show you my small dolls of Asleep Eidolon Candy and Anthony firm. They so lovely look a row as two sisters, isn't that so? Of course hair wouldn't prevent them:roll:

    9. Very excited! I now have my very own Coral. Have wanted one for a long time, and now I have her! She's gorgeous and I have named her Iris. I just love AE - I have several of their tinies as well (Donut, Chocolate and Adzuki Bean). I need to buy some clothes for her, as I don't have much MSD clothing. Where does everyone like to shop for AE girls? And what "size" fits best? I'll share pictures later. :)

    13. Does anyone know if the orders are leaning more toward the 20-ish week or the 45-ish week mark? It'd be cool to know if I can expect the girls I ordered in July before April, I'm going to SakuraCon in late March and would love to bring them! Anyone got news on that front?

    19. Hello! I recently got a jiao Jr in a trade and I love her! So dainty! I don't know much about AE so I'm trying to learn more about my girl. She appears to be older. Her headcap is the type that the hook connects to and she has old style knees. Anyone know when she might have been made? I was told 2012.
