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.

    4. :goldstarWhat is your favorite...:goldstar
      • New Company for 2009: Angelheim. I like some of the new ideas they're working with for fantasy sculpts, like Zion's snakes. Lovely details there.
      • New Male Sculpt for 2009: For body, the EID model body from Iplehouse. For head, Soom's Chrom.
      • New Female Sculpt for 2009: Body, again, EID woman from Iplehouse is a clear winner to me. Head, Souldoll's Chantal. That face just knocks my socks off.
      • Limited Edition Fullset for 2009: Soom Amber. All the details were and are stunning, and I wish I hadn't bought her blank and nekkid as a result.
      • BJD Outfit for 2009: Souldoll Chantal 'version 2' default outfit. Oh, the frilly!
      • BJD Shoes for 2009: Dollheart SD10/13 girl's boots 413 (they made me squeak gleefully).
      • BJD Accessory for 2009: If crazy body parts count as an accessory, Angelheim's Zion snakes.
      • Doll "innovation" for 2009: Some of the things Soom was doing with Idealian looked very promising. I hope we can see them released soon.
      • Free Event Item in 2009: Souldoll's free clothing Xmas event was my favorite. :)
      • BJD Event or Contest in 2009: I loved watching the anniversary contests here best. (For 2010, I am really looking forward to seeing how Domuya's faceup contest turns out; it seems like a brilliant idea.)
      • BJD Article, Book, Magazine or other Publication in 2009: N/A for me; I tend to do all my reading here on the topic.


      :goldstarIn 2009, how many...:goldstar
      • ...doll events did you attend? 1
      • ...dolls did you buy? 18 (ouch.)
      • ...dolls did you miss out on buying? A few. The wishlist has grown longer, but that doesn't necessarily mean they can't be had later. I did miss the Sard resale thanks to the wonky web site code forcing faceups and whatnot at Soom, though, which does sting a bit. Not even going to -try- for one of those.
      • ...dolls did you sell? None.
      • ...doll hobbyists did you meet in person for the first time? 3


      :goldstarIn 2009, did you...:goldstar
      • ...buy more/fewer dolls than you had planned? Way more. So many more. More than I ever thought I would even own total.
      • ...acquire your dream doll? I haven't really defined a specific one as yet, so no.
      • ...find a new dream doll? See above.
      • ...learn a new skill? New, no, but managing finances has grown a lot more prominent. ;)
      • ...improve on something you knew how to do already? A number of things, which is helpful. I'm still not good, but I'm not making myself completely wince.
