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.

    9. @phanuel Sorry for not answering your question; I'll have an answer for you soon.

      @Bears Resin animal props that are 100% unjointed are off topic; they have never been on topic. However, they may be shown with on-topic dolls and can be sold in the Props marketplace.
       
    10. Question for mods regarding on-topic animal BJDs. How do we know which section of the marketplace they should be placed in or to search when looking for potential buys? I understand the move in regards to jointing, but would they all be based on size now so most would be found in the tinies section I imagine? Would it make more sense for them to have their own section under the BJD marketplace instead of amongst SD, minis and tinies by possibly adding a section marked animals and creatures?

      Also thank you so much for the all the work you do and these great changes! My hippogriffs are certainly going to be pleased when they get home to know they are on-topic!
       
    11. @Meggethann I understand it's hard to know where they should go. We often say '1/3' or '1/6' but a lot of times the larger dolls are the same scale as the smaller ones, they just represent different ages.

      However it's also hard to separate creatures out from the rest when some share body parts with other dolls. Even if there were a separate section, would you put a hippogriff there if you were selling it with the human parts? Sometimes it's a fine line between whether something's an animal doll or an anthro. We tried separating anthros before and it didn't go well.

      So for now, please use the current Marketplace structure, but we'll keep an eye on it and may reevaluate that if necessary.

    12. That makes sense. Hadn't thought about people selling them with the human parts. If I have learned anything with this hobby yet, is I'm always learning. Haha. Never easy to keep anything straight. But that completely makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question!

      Are La Legende De Temps Puzzelfs now on-topic? I think they had been off-topic prior to this due to the sculpted shoes-feet...
       
    17. @Eldurwen Yes, the LLdT Puzzelfs are On Topic.
