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. It's very easy to contact her on her site where she takes orders.

    2. Alright here it is. My first doll was a VOLKS and my second doll was a B&G Rin (who is not so popular). And I am very happy with it. The resin quality is great and I love the type two body. So muscular without being over done. I am very picky when it comes to the dolls that I buy and I love my Rin B&G Doll.

    3. I just noticed the other day that Denver Doll is also selling B&G dolls now. I've ordered from DD in the past, and they are *really* great about answering questions. That's where I"m ordering my Afra (and maybe Saphiria as well), because of the excellent omminucation and service... and the layaway option :D

    4. Thanks Orca for the bump! I was hoping to find a thread like this. I was a little worried about the Geocities thing too, but I also assumed she didn't have the money for basically an English version of her website.

      Also, thanks to Kaiser-Serena for the Rin review! I'm hoping to get mine soon.

      I've been peppering DD (Shannon and Paula) with ordering questions, and they've been incredibly helpful (and quick with the replies). I'm still not sure if I'll get Rin from DD or B&G directly. But I know I'll be putting in an "accessories" order with DD.

    5. I absolutely love the B&G boy body, i have the second one. It poses so nice and it's so slender, it definatly makes for a younger looking 60cm doll. Mine looks like a teen around 17/18 at most.

      The colour is quite peachy and deep aswell~ It has a slight pink tone to its yellow which is really nice, and the hands are so nice too!

    6. I also noticed yesterday that DD added B&G to their store. I'm sure when the time comes, they could answer this question, but I wonder if they have them in stock like their other dolls or if they do orders like a broker? I did see, though, that their price is higher than the quoted price on (I believe Layla's?) ebay and that's still without face-up. As every penny counts for me, I'd like to know why.

      Are the new boy bodies only on the newer molds, or do all the molds come with the new body now?

    7. Shannon told me they won't have any B&G dolls until October-ish (8 weeks from yesterday). When I asked about the eyes (can I pick the color) she said she really doesn't know what they'll send, so she can't specify the color. I'm guessing they just order a bunch of dolls.

      I'm also curious about the face-up price. I thought B&G was still doing their free face-up/outfit event?
       
      #47 Ostrich, Aug 25, 2008
    8. I believe DD has *in stock* on the items that are. B&G has said there having a price rise, the exact answer is in the B&G waiting room thread somewhere. Someone contacted DD and posted the reply.

      As far as the bodys go you can order any head on any body, only the elves come by default with type2 bodys from what ive seen.

      Interestingly enough the type2 girls body is out but no doll comes with it. (though you can request it)

    9. I've got B&G Natalia (Rin's twin) and really like her. She seems sturdy and poses well.

      On the ebay sales they are still doing free eyes and outfit or shoes.

    10. I noticed the same thing. I'm sure one of the ladies at DDE could answer your question better, but I do know that for a lot of companies, DDE's price is higher. I had asked if they were going to carry Doll Factory and Shannon told me they weren't because they didn't make enough of a reasonable profit selling them. Maybe, in order to make a profit on the B&G dolls, they had to increase the price. It still might be less expensive considering you don't have to pay for EMS.

    11. Just FYI, I emailed DD about the body types. DD should be getting dolls with the new body type, as they were ordered after August 15th.
       
      #51 Ostrich, Aug 25, 2008
    12. That's very true (re: shipping). I have a local friend who does really good face-ups, so to save more cash I'd probably order without one.

      Now I just have to decide ultimately who do I choose: Sky, or DZ's Megi-2 ::torn::

    13. I want to get a 60cm B&G rin, and I was wondering how they fit in your arms? Is B&G comfortable to hold? Is it heavy in any way so if you walk around with him with you get tired?

      sorry for all the questions, and I hope I posted this in the right place ^^

    14. I'm about 5 foot 6, with limited to zero upper body strength. One of my 60cm boys in my arms is fine, weight wise (and I still have a free arm). I usually put them in a sitting position craddled in one arm. No heavier than a medium sized well filled purse. I wouldn't get tired of holding him unless I had a bunch of other things to carry as well.

    15. I have ordered a B&G Afra last week, he'll arrive soon I reckon ^^ <3

      I just have a question for B&G 1/3 doll owners here, I can't get around the sizes of my boy... has anyone got the sizes of his head(wigsize) and eyes? in inches/mm?
      On my own I figured the head was 10 inches... is this about right? And if so, where do you buy wigs in this size o_O?
       
      #55 Atheca, Sep 7, 2008
    16. I have an afra boy. For wigs I'd say 8-9. I bought a luts wig (8.5-9.5) and slid right off. My heise wig 8-9 fits perfectly. 8-9 size is pretty common so everyone pretty much sells them.
       
      #56 RebelViva, Sep 7, 2008
    17. Oohhh thanks for the fast reply ^^ That's good news! I may be able to even order the DOT(8-8,5) or DOI(9) wigs from Dream of Doll =3 I love those.

      Now to find cool bright green 20mm eyes...
       
      #57 Atheca, Sep 7, 2008
    18. DOT wigs will NOT fit a B&G! I found this out the hard way. I bought a really nice blond wavy wig and it is like half an inch too small. I can't get it around Freya's head.

      volks wigs fit, but are a little floppy and require tape/velcro. I've heard lutz wigs fit excellently.

      As for eyes, the website and eBay listing claim that the dolls all come with 20mm eyes, but when I got my Freya, I measured the eyes and they are only 18mm. I also have put a set of 16mm ED eyes in her for a more serious look (though I have since put her original eyes back in since then). I think 18mm fit better.

    19. oh their website is no longer up? i clicked the link and they didnt have a website anymore....

    20. I can't speak for the chinese site, but Rozen Garden is still up

      http://hk.geocities.com/layla_mi/bgdoll/bgd.html

      even though this site is still up, Layla doesn't use it for orders anymore. she's started a new forum-type website. Let me see if I can find the link for ya....

      http://www.herbtiger.com/shop/

      If you want to order from Layla, go there. She responds quicker to this that through emails or PMs. Also keep in mind that you can order through Jack on eBay
