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.

    2. I've been looking at their scultps too! The Qi'an head is very pretty, and I like the open mouth design. I don't know how to explain it but I like how they sculpt the noses?

    3. Yes, Qi'an is so cute! The hint of fang almost had me buying her, but I went with another sculpt. I totally agree about the noses. I was so sad I missed the Bai Yan preorder, but I'm glad to see them growing in popularity!

    4. I think I'll have to keep an eye out for any future releases they do. I'm trying not to impulse buy anything right now, but it's sooooo hard when they're so cute. What sculpt did you end up going with if you don't mind me asking ?

    5. Same! I think the artist who sculpts the dolls also does some of the faceups. I'm trying to see if maybe I can find their social media to confirm and take a peek at any projects! I went with the Huajing smiling Eva sculpt.

    6. Ooooh that scultp is very pretty! The dimples are ver cute too. I feel like dimples are a rarer thing to see in sculpts. Either that or I'm not paying enough attentions lol. But I generally really like Bad World researcher and hope to see more projects from them. I really end up liking a lot of stuff found on Space Studio. I'm trying to keep myself in check but I think I might keep them on my wish list of potential dolls hee hee :XD:

    7. Oh, these are so cute! I'll have to keep an eye out for future sculpts/preorders. I love the 1/4 scale

    8. Yes, the dimples are what sold me! Also since the sculpt has closed eyes, less money on eyes. :lol: But yeah, I'm keeping an eye on them and the secondhand market for an extra head. I think the way they style the dolls is so cute too.

      Me too! I want to own a 1/3 doll one day, but the 1/4 are like the perfect size for holding and sewing for.

    9. Same, I think the 1/3 scale doll for me would have to be like, a VERY special sculpt to me or one that I've been thinking of for a while. Honestly, I really like 1/6 dolls but I'm not a huge fan of childlike scuplts, which I feel dominates the scale. Sometimes I see sculpts and really wish that they were at 1/6 scale 1/4 sculpts are a nice size, escpecially for me since I don't have a ton of space to begin with lol. Fingers crossed that this company might release some in 1/6 scale!!! :XD:
