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. Yup i have one aswell XD Rather than find a doll that looked just like him i chose a doll i preffered.
       
    2. ho yes ;d
      I'm currently researching tan skin dolls that wold look good as David Nassau from the game The Last Remnant.
      ;A; alas its a long planning/research process.
       
    3. I sorta did this.. Im basing my msd off a combo of Chii and Freya from chobits.
       
    4. I've fallen out of love with the series and the character. :sweat

      So no character dolls for me.
       
    5. I really want to get 2 for my anime/Bleach OTP.
      Ichimaru Gin x Kira Izuru....
      That would be really nice...
       
    6. I might do this at some point. They're pretty far down my wishlist after my original characters, but it's a possibility. I haven't chosen any sculpts just for this purpose that I wouldn't have on my wishlist otherwise, though, so it's possible they'll develop original characters along the way instead.

      I am seriously considering attempting to put together a Draco Malfoy outfit for Crow for next Halloween - I'd pretty much only need the cloak, wand, maybe a tie, and different hair, so there's always the possibility of original characters playing as non-original characters just for fun once in a while.
       
    7. I feel I would have a lot of trouble if I had a doll modeled after an anime/manga/TV/etc character. I would feel as if I wasn't free to do what I felt was right with him or her, and would feel almost like I was going against the doll's like, essence/spirit. XD I also would probably get annoyed if I couldn't find the perfect hair/eyes/clothes that the character I was trying to model them after had.
       
    8. I haven't got any, and neither have plans to get one.
       
    9. Umm, Yes, Danny is based of two of my fave Characters combined, Dnaiel and J.D from Chasing Yesterday. =3 I have plans to make a Bobobie Mei into Maud from A Drowned Maidens Hair. =3 And maybe a V from V for Vendetta. =3
       
    10. omgosh my first doll, I cannot make a character for her. It's really eating away at me too. She *was* the inspiration from my German crazed girl Emette but I found after fine tuning her character I found a better doll for the part. =3= and again no character.
       
    11. I have one, though he wasn't in my doll plans. I had gotten a head to learn how to do faceups on, and was making mock-ups in Photoshop when I noticed how much he looked like the character...and no matter how I painted the head after I noticed that, I still only saw 'him' in the doll's face...so now I have Toki.

      My other dolls are my own characters, but I don't feel I need to come up with some sort of elaborate story on how Toki ended up here with them--while my dolls actually are the characters they represent, not cosplaying, their universes don't mesh (not sure how to explain this...but my characters have their own story, and that story, except for their relationships with each other, doesn't apply to their doll forms. I hope that makes sense!:sweat)
       
    12. Yes, that is one of reason I worry about. And I think I would feel really upset if I can not make him alike....it would be a rather difficult task....*_*
      However, I really want that character...even if it is not in my plan. (gosh, I should not play that game!:doh)
       
    13. I don't see anything wrong with making a character based off of someone elses series or character.
      A good Vampire Hunter D doll would be nice and I know my boy is making a John-117 Halo dollfie but for me... nah, I couldn't do it.
       
    14. I don't have my doll yet.. But I don't think I would make any of my dolls into like cosplay..
      I think I would be the kind of person to make new OC's out of my dolls, or make my dolls into OC's. Fun! : D
       
    15. When some of the writers discuss how they got into BJDs, they often say they saw a mold or a particular doll done in a particular style that just spoke to them loudly of their own characters.
      And often enough, once "endolled", the doll-characters take off in entirely new directions from the artwork or fiction that inspired them. That's an interesting process all on its own...
       
    16. Most of my dolls will be based on my own original characters. However, I do have plans for a doll based on Wall-E. X3 I have the sculpt picked out and I hope to mod him so there are cybernetic bits peeking out of "cracks" in his arms and legs. ;D And he shall be called... Doll-E. X3
       
    17. OMG. xD That'll be awesome. xD And then you can make another one like Eve. xD
       
    18. I plan for Tayven from Storm Constantine's Chronicles of Magravandias.
       
    19. When I first found out about bjds, I wanted them to be some of my favourite manga characters
      But just last year I decided that if I was to spend my money on a doll, it should be based on one of the people that have been knocking inside my head for so long and not someone else's brainchild
      Even so, I do think character dolls are cute
      and I'm more than enthusiastic on making my dolls cosplay
       
    20. I was in a dilemma. I wanted to make the FCS F-38 into Rurouni Kenshin but I did not want to scar his face. I don't even want to consider painting a scar onto his face. I decided not to scar him and just use lips sticks to draw the scar. Moreover, I ordered a simple Volks faceup which to some extent resembles Kenshin. If I had been more daring, I would have ordered a blank mold and have someone paint him exactly like Kenshin. errr.....I cannot name the doll Himura Kenshin because he does not have across shaped scar on his face. I am naming him Christian and he cosplays Kenshin! I feel so very incompetent, I m not capable enough to own a R. Kenshin SD. I will regret if I scar that face.
