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.

Creature Doll! Armored Beauties ready for Adventure

Feb 26, 2017

    1. Awww thanks y’all! :love
      I’m having a lot of fun wig making.

      For my next wig I think I’ll try for a sexy messy librarian bun...because being a sorceress I’m sure she spends plenty of time with her nose in a book. :3nodding:
       
    2. Ok so I have no doll money and need to chill but I keep eyeing male companions for Saireth. When aGatti released Alfarr :droolearlier this month I waxed and waned and finally passed. She’ll dwarf him in her heels. Then Magic Mirror Studios seems to have a beautiful elf man Levon in the works but there is no telling how expensive he will be and :sighmaybe the wrong scale. And Boom this morning Granado has a post in the News section about offers Vigor with Lucifer head in like 10 different sizes....man that looks like a nice body with nice poses. I have a hard time envisioning how they’d look side by side thou....:?

      Nothing real useful in this post just feeling indecisive as usual! I think Guardian Phyllis was the only time I’ve ever seen a doll and not hemmed and haawed forrrreeevvveerrrr trying to decide to buy her...I knew she was for me <3
       
    3. @skyealloway - Have you looked at Raccoon Doll's males? No elves (yet) but the height is certainly there, even for girls with high heels. I can't remember if I posted this photo here before, but it shows Raccoons, Creature Doll, and FIDs together. Raccoon Damien is on the left; Creature Doll Karin is in the middle. Granted she's wearing flats, but Damien is far and away tall enough to tower over even a girl in heels.

    4. I have been closely watching raccoondoll, mostly for more elf girls thou ;). I haven’t made up my mind about the boys...the faces haven’t called to me yet. It’s hard to balance body with face...Granados body certainly is nice but I’m uncertain if I love the face (plus he’d need to be modded for elf ears).

      I’m not even sure about the height, I still want Saireth to look powerful too so maybe a male more her size is better.

      I appreciate your comparison photo!
       
    5. I made a gallery to show off my gal!
      https://denofangels.com/threads/her-adventuring-wardrobe-guardian-phyllis-elf.771527/

      On a sadder note. I am working on a faceup on my Mei head, took her outside to spray coat the most recent layer, then lost my grip on the platform I had her on. Down her head tumbled, bouncing across the concrete. All things considered, it’s not too bad- several scratches along the top where the head cap attaches. And some nasty gouges out of one ear. But her face is unscathed. Well, I wanted her to be an elf....universe decided to give me more incentive I guess...
       
    6. Yikes! Glad to hear it's not as bad as it could have been. Hope it works out for you.
      I'm supposed to be getting back to modding a head myself, but I don't have a lot of faith I won't screw it up.
       
    7. @skyealloway - Ouch! Poor Mei. Bouncing on concrete, no less. Will you use Apoxie Sculpt for the elf ears? I'm curious to know how that works. Be sure and post a project journal--or at least pics--of your process and results.

      When I spray a head outdoors I always wear latex gloves (to protect my hands from the MSC) and hold the head from the back, with my fingers hooked through the head and neck openings. Things get a little dicey when I'm working with a faceplate, but either way I grab the head or faceplate in an inconspicuous place and hold on for dear life.

      I need to go look at your gallery.:3nodding:
       
    8. I’ve never really done much modding so I’m pretty much in the “watching YouTube videos phase” but I will let y’all know how my elf ears project goes!

    9. @vermont chick i scanned back through the thread and looked again at the pic where you put a raccoondoll head on the creaturedoll body..... could you put a creature doll head on a raccoondoll body and a fid body? I know the colors will be off but I wonder about the fit. The way the raccoondoll head day so low makes me think the reverse will sit too high....but maybe not. Darn you free Mei head and no more bodies :...(
       
    10. @skyealloway - Your wish is my command! :) I have three Creature Dolls, so I have given you an extra body you didn't ask for, just for the heck of it. Left to right you have Lucia on a Raccoon body, Mei on FID, and Karin on WithDoll. FID has the thickest neck--this one is the least successful, in my opinion. The WithDoll body is the shortest, even in heels, and has a very long neck. I usually have a Raccoon elf head on this one. What I love about the WD body is that the hands attach via magnets, like MiniFee, so she can wear very narrow sleeves without effort. Being short, she can stand next to shorter guys and make them feel tall. That said, the Raccoon body may be your best bet, although resin color matching will be next to impossible. This one is normal skin from the second group of dolls Raccoon produced, so it's a little yellowed. Even a brand new Raccoon body is not as pink as a normal Creature Doll.

    11. Woohoo! Much appreciated! But also drat, this extra Mei head really isn’t a good choice for hybrids. I agree the Raccoondoll is the most tolerable but it still isn’t right enough to warrant a purchase. I like the look of the shorty withdoll body in this group, it’s a good body variety, but also neck too long. Thank you so much for the picture thou!

      You’re collection is so vast- what’s your favorite doll?

      I just finished painting Mei so I’ll take photos soon!
       
    12. You're welcome.

      Usually my favorite doll is the most recent arrival, which means that right now I'm obsessing over my Dollshe fashion Saint.

      Can't wait to see photos of your Mei.

    14. Did anyone else take advantage of the offer to place one last order for a Creature Doll? I'm looking daily for a change in status, even though it's been only one month. I figure without face-ups they might come more quickly. Maybe I figure wrong...
       
    15. I did, but I haven't been in a hurry for her to come just yet. I've got several doll-related projects in the works right now, so I've got plenty to keep me occupied.
      (Made the mistake of buying a little antique couch that needs to be reupholstered, and it's got like a thousand little rusty nails holding all the old fabric on...:sweat My bad shoulder is not happy with me.)
       
    16. @vermont chick I ordered and haven't heard anything, either. I know that when I emailed him, he said he'd try to finish by the end of the month, but might need longer because he was working. I'm going to give it to the end of April and if I don't hear anything, I'll shoot him an email. :)
       
    17. I also did but still no sign of my Karin. To be honest under 2 months waiting times I never worry to much. But I should order her a wig xd
       
    18. If he's working and has to complete these orders in his spare time, it might take longer than usual. I wonder how many orders he got?
       
    19. I just checked my email again and he said it would take about two months So for me that'll be the beginning of May.
       
    20. I guess I should just be patient for one more month. Also maybe by then it will have stopped snowing here and I can hope for some warm weather in which to do face-ups.
