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.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes. Extremely so.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Exactly as shown.
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes.
      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      The legs are completely solid apart from the hole for the elastic. You would think a doll this heavy who has tiny feet wouldn't stand but she can. She has limited leg mobility (which was clearly shown in product photos) but still poses very nicely. Her arm peanuts are well designed and can hold in between poses easily.
      The only downside is that her faceplates are held on with putty not magnets but that was also clearly shown in product photos and I understand why it is that way based on the limitation with how her face is displayed.
      She's very smooth to the touch and has been finished well without any seam lines or odd spots.
      Her coloring is perfectly even and looks enchanting in person. It's hard to photograph but is a very pale tealish pastel blue.
      Finally she was very well packaged and a lot of attention to detail was put into her construction. For instance the flower tail comes apart for easy painting and also comes with a small metal plate with the company logo on it in enamel for sticking inside clothing to hold the magnet tail so that it can be attached to loose clothing and not only directly to the doll.
      * Would you buy more from this company?
      Yes.

      Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      Resin is amazing: toothy, heavy and thick. Posing is incredible. All extra parts I ordered came blushed! I don't know if this was because of the fullset.
      She has odd measurements which make her somewhat difficult to shop for, but I expected this. There were a few light marks on the doll upon arrival. They came off with a magic sponge so in the end it was not a big deal.
      Would you buy more from this company?
      It's been great to buy from this company and I would love to buy from them again. I placed the order through Alice's but I had contacted them first through their e-mail and they've been quick to reply and discuss my order.
