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.

    2. USD can either be US Dollar or (as previously mentioned) the Korean version of YoSD

      OOAK is One Of A Kind ^^ Which explains all the enthusiasm on those threads. =]

    7. Everybody who has a doll says "wonky" if a doll has crooked eyes.

      I use it around "non-doll" people and they dont understand but here everybody says it

    12. What does Omake mean? Is it specific to doll forums? Cause I've never heard it before I came here.
       
      #152 Proudgeek8, Mar 10, 2010
    13. It means extra or bonus in Japanese ;)

      When someone adds an omake to a thread, it's just an extra photo they wanted to share. Something that didn't suit the other photos for example, or just something funny, but worth sharing.

    14. Just wanted to add that i think the term comes from the custom Asian dealers have of adding a little gift into your order as a thank-you for being their customer. Like the postcard and sticker you get in your box when you buy from Dollmore--these are omake. So I'm guessing it just acquired the meaning of "a little something extra" =)

    15. BL artists?
       
      #155 kooyma, May 26, 2010
    16. I assume that "BL" in this case stands for 'boy's love,' so an artist who draws boy's love. Not a BJD term. I could be wrong, though...do you have a context for this?
       
      #156 Junkets, May 26, 2010
    17. Yay for the Guide and its usefulness! :) It's answered most of my term-related questions, but i still have a couple left! :sweat:

      What does "CB" stand for? (I assumed it stood for Crobidoll, but in case I'm wrong...? )

      And what exactly do terms like 1/3 and 1/4 mean?
      I know they're in reference to height (i saw it noted on a earlier post that 1/3 is about 60cm, also called SD) but how, for example, did they get 1/3 to mean 60cm? Do dollmakers just assume that collectors will know that 1/3 means 60cm?
      (I hope that made sense @_@ )

    18. 1/3, 1/4, 1/6 etc refer to the scale of the doll. We ourselves are full scale, or 1/1 (although some of us are oversized :...().

      The majority of dollhouse items are 1/12 scale, where one inch equals one foot, and a dollhouse for a dollhouse would be 1/144 scale (one twelfth of one twelfth). Many other hobbies involving miniatures and/or scale replicas use this type of scale, too, so if you see an item on ebay, for instance, that's described as 1/3 scale, it might be a great prop for a 1/3 doll!
