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.

      Charles Stephan opens his own arts & crafts studio / ball jointed doll company

      Nieuw-Beijerland/October 24th '08 - ‘Pig Artist’ Charles Stephan, who is also the President of foundation t Gorke (non profit organisation pet pig lovers) and owner of art studio Atelier Babi Senang at Nieuw-Beijerland, was very successful with its creation Alice Cherry Blossom. This dainty little piglet lady, which was launched as a joint project with Elf Doll Inc., Korea, is a unique `Asian Ball Jointed Doll', a phenomenon that started in Japan and meanwhile is very popular in Asia, the US and now also in Europe. This doll radiates a refined, slightly gothic melancholia personality, which fits also well to the pig in general and its often sad destiny. After a roaring success of a sold out 1st edition, further limited editions followed soon.

      Thanks to these successes Charles has now opened his own ball jointed doll company*/design studio: ' Charles Creature Cabinet'. A so-called arts & crafts studio. The CCC studio offers 100% hand-made and hand-painted arts & crafts dolls and toys to the future customers. Mainly focussing on releases of ' Asian ball jointed dolls' , designer toys and character dolls. The first two releases, called 'The Woodlings', were launched on October 14th at Full Moon. The Woodlings are a little faerie called 'Yoshi The Woodling Faerie' (resin, size Tiny, 11 cm) and her enchanted ‘wooden’ piggydoll; 'Boneka Kayu' (resin, size, Micro 5 cm).

      CCC’s Indonesian based mini-factory of the sympathetic Nieuw-Beijerlander is arranged to produce small serials of limited editions. The headstocks and other art doll items are all high-quality, hand-made products. For more information please visit the Internet site: www.charlescreaturecabinet.com

      * Charles’ Creature Cabinet™ is the first Netherlands based ball jointed doll company and Yoshi The Woodling Faerie & Boneka Kayu are the very first ‘Dutch’ ball jointed dolls.
