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.

    2. And to start us off, here my Mantis doll Moxy showing off her new wig and eyes-

      Seems 6-7" wigs fit the mantis head (this wig is from Leekeworld). I ended up getting some anime eyes from Nina's Craftery Service on Etsy as I wanted something softer looking than the standard round glass/acyclic eyes. (These were 'basic 3' style, 14mm full resin, in purple). I'm really impressed with the quality of the eyes so will definitely be buying more in the future!

    3. woah I love their mantis body so much! everytime I see it I like it more haha I really hope I can snag a red resin Amber if I can find them on the second market, or if coral reef decide to open orders again~ Moxy is so cute, I think the wig fits really well!

      I'm somewhat surprised to see that the 14mm eyes fit so well, I thought that maybe they would need 12mm since their eyes seem a bit smaller than standard ~45cm dolls

      it also looks like coral reef's bodies are all quite thin, I've seen that they they can wear ~30cm clothing (dresses that fit their torsos basically

    4. For standard eyes you would be looking at 12mm (or 10mm depending on the brand size). A 14mm glass eye fills up most of the eye which can be good aesthetic choice if you wanted a softer or more insect look. Because the anime style eye is more of an oval shape it doesn't fill out the eye quite as much ;)

      I haven't tried to dress my doll yet so good to know that some 30cm clothes could work! I will most likely have to make her armour and her dancing outfit so I think that'll be the thing that takes me a while to get round to doing (not good or fast at making doll costumes) :sweat

    6. Did anyone see the IG post from Coralreef with the new Cyborg girl? She's divine! I wonder, if the price tag will be just as divine :shudder Sales should start tomorrow on 18th January.

    9. Coral Reef Doll on Instagram: "My dear,Long time no see!this is our new doll ,mechanical girl number one! #bjd #bjds #bjddoll #bjdsale #bjdphotography #bjddolls #bjdphoto #bjdmakeup #bjdmaking #bjdsculpting #abjd #bjdforsale #bjdgirl #bjdartist #bolljointeddoll #artist #artwork"

      I'm also struck by the photos! Especially the abandoned wreckage look - I may have to crib that for a potential face up. I swore off new dolls this year but she is striking!!

    14. Thanks for the links Diaspro. Type A looks really cool.
      I have checked on the webpage to find the measurements of this doll but unfortunately I could not find it.
      Does anyone know where I could get this information?
      Thank you

    15. BJDivas has the doll dimensions; it's one of the images closer to the bottom of the page.

      The image should be self explanatory. Translation of the dimensions in the top right corner...
      - Head circumference: 17.7cm
      - Neck circumference: 6.2cm
      - Shoulder width including arms: 8.5cm
      - Height of body without head: 49.5cm

    17. I desperately want One and I’m so glad her ordering window is until April!

    18. Oh wow, those eyes turned out so good! I was wondering how hard it might be to find eyes small enough for the upper eyes so making them yourself was a good option :XD:

    19. Yes, it was definitely a trial and error process to find just the right fit and size. I had to just try a bunch of blanks in each eyewell set to see what fit.

      Here's the sizes I made:
      Upper set: 10mm - small iris
      Lower set: 14mm - small iris
