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. Hi again,

      I understood from reading up on the sculpt that you can use both 12mm and 14mm eyes on May, but what is the preferred choice for most of you? I *think* I used 12mm for my Minoru back in the day, but I honestly can't remember *hides face*. It sometimes looks like May's eyes are sculpted a little bigger - but I might be wrong on that?

    2. @Katrine I have 14mm glass eyes on my May, I think they fit her really well. :) Here is old photo of my Hana and May, both have 14mm eyes.

      P.S. I love the baked skin Shinies, I wish I had the finances when they were for sale, I knew I'd regret not getting any...

    3. Thank you @xaya ! Your girls are adorable :) It looks like 14mm is a good fit for them both - thanks for posting the picture. I was actually hoping I could use the 12mm I have for my latis, but do you think that would be too small, perhaps? The 14mm looks really sweet on her... Maybe I just have to give in when I finally are able to buy a May and get some nice eyes in 14mm:sweat

    4. I don't have any photos, but I also got 14mm eyes for my May :)

      @xaya love that photo!!!

    5. @Katrine I think the white parts might be too small in 12mm eyes and there could be a gap on the sides depending on the shape and type of the eye. Here is quick reference photo, sorry about the quality.

      Shiny May with light beige eye 12mm Hand Glass Craft and hazel brown eye mouthblown 12mm eye from Kanis Glassaugen (if I can remember the company correctly, it's been long time since I received these eyes). The mouthblown glass eyes have bigger iris than the other one but both gap from the sides. It could be that if you don't mind that much of the gapping 12mm of certain types could work. I don't like the light beige on her in this size but that's just the type of the eye where the iris is quite small compared to the one that is bigger. And I do like bigger irises too. :)

      @Ellesmera Thank you so much. ^^

    6. I'm sorry to add the consensus that 12mms are a "very likely not" for May. I have tried low dome, full round glass 12mm eyes in my ShinyFairy/Minoruworld heads and didn't like the look. There were gaps at the corners of the eye sockets and the smaller iris size did not flatter their cute faces well.

    9. @icicle Huge congratulations, she is super adorable!

    10. Thank you! It was actually more fun to assemble her than I thought.
      I think I'm going to make her a 1970s disco teen with ABBA records and platform shoes :)

    11. @icicle congrats!!! love your plans for her, she's very cute!

    12. Thanks!
      I'll have to research 70's makeup for her faceup -- I was way too young to wear makeup back then myself!

    13. Everyone's shinyfairys are so cute! I love all of them.
      I posted asking about shoes a while back but never got around to posting a photo, here's one to fix that!
