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. I wish there were some photographs from the back on some of these outfits - especially the MSD Vambrane outfit because from what I can tell of the sketch, there are supposed to be wings? Going cross eyed trying to make anything out of these pictures!

    2. When first I saw it it was marked as 425$... I could be wrong but I remember thinking that it was way too expensive... ::shrugs:: maybe I didn`t see well...it happens

    3. So we can't order until our book arrives? I ordered mine in June (or earlier, I can't remember!) but I haven't received it.

    4. You can order right now Elle as you were in the preorder. It doesn't matter if you didnt' get it yet or weren't charged for it yet even.

      They are processing the charges for the books now.

    5. We expect some of the Liebchens to be mailed to us by the end of next week. The balance will be sent around two weeks after that. This doll is really special and with a complete outfit, handmade boots, 2 wigs and a special finish---well worth the price, in my opinion. The Doll Heart costumes are very special, too, they appear in the School of Vambane comic in the book. Ted Menten is a famous bear designer. His handmade bear in the Mini Super Dollfie costume is brilliant. Chesca and Mio are fabulous. The prices were set by the artists. The Chesca costume is very expensive and worth every penny in quality and design. But we know it is not affordable for everyone. Mio's SD13 set is for a boy and not pictured in the book. The girl costume is for a Unoa. We hope you enjoy the efforts of all the contributors and artists. Thanks so much for your orders. Some additional pictures hhave been posted on th Haute Doll website under exclusives. We will try to get details of the other items up too at some point.

    6. Ah Karen its a shame that there are not more additional views and larger pictures for each outfit offered, I thought I recognized Ted Mentons name related to something! yes teddy bears. You can bearly ;) see the bear in the picture there, so its not so clear its part of the outfit till you take the time to reflect. Handmade artist bears go for about 100.00 and up so your right not a bad price if you love the bear.

      Here is the larger images for anyone that wants to see:

      I think Liebchen is just beautiful and worth the money the corsette, wig and all the other handmade parts as well as the beautiful skin :)

      Question: Does Liebchen have underwear on under there? bloomers perhaps? socks or stockings?
       
      #126 TreeLore, Jul 13, 2006
    7. I missed when looking on line that the Menton set came with the bear! And after seeing the instructions inside on Mio's sewing I feel terrible that I though her outfits were expensive, a lot of work goes into them! :ablink:

      And as the owner of the first Liebchen and knowing the quality of Diep's work, I can say that the Le Promisse Liebchen is a great price for all that you are getting!

    9. Hiya, Karen: My sweetheart (Bill Woodbury) ordered one of the books quite a few months ago -- for me. <grin> Have all of the preordered books been mailed out already?

    11. My statement has it listed as "MURAT CAVIALE PUBLISHI, KENOSHA , WI " :daisy

       
      #131 Kittybongo, Jul 14, 2006
    12. Ah, same question as cheshiretiffy. Is the shipping type normal Airmail or registered Airmail for international orders?
       
      #132 yoake, Jul 14, 2006
    13. It just says "Airmail International" on my confirmation :(
       
      #133 Sefie, Jul 14, 2006
    14. I guess that means USPS then as opposed to UPS.
       
      #134 cheshiretiffy, Jul 14, 2006
    15. Mine came USPS, I don't know if it was sent First Class or Media mail. I received mine sooner because I'm in the same state.

    16. We apologize if some of the BJD contact information is already out of date. The book went to the printer Feb 1, 2006 and things change quite rapidly in the BJD world. We hope you enjoy the book in spite of some information which may no longer be correct.

    17. Just a suggestion. :] Perhaps Hautedoll can have a little page on their website with updated links that are no longer available when printed in the book? It would be a great help for many if they're interested in visiting these companies/websites that have moved already. :aheartbea

    19. I don't think they were all shipped on the same day. I don't have mine either.
       
      #139 TreeLore, Jul 18, 2006
    20. I'm still waiting to see if my pre-order will go through T-T *crosses fingers*
