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.

Contentious doll names - gods and so on.

Feb 11, 2008

    1. CuteKitty I fail to see HOW this statement "I think that naming your doll after a literary/cinematic character, hero, or god is just kind of cliche and unoriginal" can possibly be anything BUT offensive to someone whose doll name fits in one of those categories. Just me.
       
    2. first it's just doll name : they are not real people so they can assume all the strange name we can give to them :)
      I'm not offensed by any names : religious included
      If I had to be a religious people : I assume that religion is acceptance so any name will be ok
       
    3. I like that.

      a name is is just that, a name. Even from religious context, I don't really find a name in itself offensive. I wouldn't be insulted personally by a kids name, so a doll name wouldn't really be an different to me.
