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.

Bambicrony Bumblebee Elves?

Oct 26, 2009

Page 1 of 5
    1. In the news section of Bambicrony.net it mentions that they are extending the order period for the BC Marchen Bumblebee Elves but I have never seen any other mention of Bumblebee Elves, nor can I find any other mention of them on their site.

      Does anyone else now about the BC Marchen Bumblebee Elves?

    2. I can't find them either, I just saw the notice and looked all over the site.

    3. I looked on BambiCrony's site as well and also found nothing. Perhaps inquire directly on BC's site for additional information.

    4. I saw the same thing and went HUH???
      But I do think it's just an English problem and when they most likely mean is that the released date of them has been delayed until November.
      At least now we have some warning!!! xD

    5. Ah, that makes sense. I hope you're right, because I really want to see these bumblebee elves. They sound really cute!

    6. The only other thing I can think of is that they're having website problems and they THINK the dolls are on sale when in fact they're not!
      Then of course, no one bought them so they figured they'd extend the sales period in the hopes that someone would! ::laughs::

      This is unlikely though, and I'm sure it's just an English problem!
      Still, I asked about it on th Q&A so will post the reply here when I get one!

      It's typical that Bambicrony are releasing more limited elves just as I was considering getting a coloured elf 2nd hand!
      Though I'm guessing I might be safe from the bees as I'm not so much a cute person, and bees are probably going to be REALLY cute!
      More than anything I'm looking forward to seeing the new heads!

    7. I'm likely safe too, but I just want to see a bumblebee elf. I want to know how they'll actualize the concept in a doll. I'm afraid that what will do me in is when they release the Belleza doll.

    8. Well I got a reply to my query, though it didn't really answer what I was asking, but then I checked their main page again and they'd editied the news post to Bumbleebee Release, so I assume it was just an English error.
      They also we'll "soon be able to see their pictures along with more detailed information (for example, what items are included, how to purchase, etc.)", so I guess we just have to be patient!

    9. I think it's just a teaser... though a teaser without pictures is kind of annoying. But it does say "November 2nd" in the post. So it's not like a terribly long wait.
       
      #9 ArvanahModray, Oct 27, 2009
    10. Not terribly long? :o Its almost a WHOLE WEEK!!! :lol:

      Just kidding ;)

      I can't wait to see the little bugger though. Why do all the companies have to release everything at once??? There's the Customhouse BOGOF, the Lati Yellow Limiteds and now the Bambicrony Bumblebees (that even sounds adorable!)
       
      #10 Lana, Oct 27, 2009
    11. Cause it's HALLOWEEN!!!
      Halloween is always absolute death for dolly releases cause almost all companies do some kind of limited doll!
      Then we get a couple of months off before the Christmas limiteds! x_x

      In generally though I find fall and winter the worst money spending seasons!
      For whatever reason, EVERYTHING I enjoy (bjd, clothes etc) brings out great things during this time!

      I really don't need another WS doll.. I don't.. but I'm so obsessed with the Bambicrony elves right now!
      If one of them ended up being coloured I'd be SCREWED for sure!!

    12. I'm with you, there. A week *is* hard to wait. :lol:

      I was smart this year and bought all xmas gifts and supplies for making them this summer, so I wouldn't be broke this holiday season, but dolls may foil my plans yet.
       
      #12 PearlZenith, Oct 28, 2009
    13. Wow! They are sooo cute, but a lot more anime than the usual Bambicrony sculpts. They remind me a bit of the Volks discontinued F12 MSD fairies.
      They're very appealing, but I don't see coming up with the funds before the cut off date of Dec. 15, since I was already planning on getting the MSdoll Pan elf this order period and the Garden of Dolls Nabiya elf sometime soon. Too many cute dolls!

    14. betsyhoneyvenom, I thought the same thing when I first saw BeeYa. I love the round eyed fairies Shinsiya and Misiya. :aheartbea

      I'm worried about missing out on BeeYa though... it would pretty much suck for me if they end up being very limited and not available after Dec. cut off date.
       
      #14 Manda_Chan, Nov 4, 2009
    15. They are cute, but not the kind of doll I'd buy. I love the headpiece, though.

      I hope you can get your BeeYa, Manda_Chan. I'm sure some will show up on the secondary market.
       
      #15 PearlZenith, Nov 5, 2009
    16. Oh dear... I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread! :doh I loooooove them!! Alot! Almost enough to NOT order the Lati I was just on my way to order. Uhoh... Lol!

    17. Does anyone know Bambicrony would sell these heads with human ears in the future? (OR not? Only limited with this bee models?)
      I love ED eyes in them. Do you know if I can order those eyes somewhere without buying this limited models? I am a caterpillar fan, so I do not need a bee which eats caterpillars. ^^;
      Thank you very much for your help.

    18. I think it was said that these sculpts would NOT be re-used, but I could be wrong. Hopefully someone can confirm this for me.

      As for the eyes, I'm interested too because I LOVE THEM and want them also!!

    20. Yes yes, that's where I read it! Thanks!:)

      I wonder, perhaps some people won't want the eyes as some people really don't like pupil-less eyes, so many we'll be able to get them in a split?
      Decide which ones you want then try putting up a WTB thread in the marketplace! It might work!
