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. They were very reasonable priced for the basic dolls , I wish I could find more second hand ones around haha. Even the fullest Guardian Phyllis was just over $700 if I remember correctly. I wish these had been marked more, still my favorites

    2. @kittyglitter Lucky! I wish I could buy one but I haven't tried very hard searching for one second hand.

    3. Thank you!! I am very excited to meet her. She has a faceup but it's not factory, and I think she is either white or normal skin. I'm also glad to know that there is still a bit of interest in the brand, in case she doesn't fit in with my crew.

    5. @skyealloway - She does! I never understood why the artist decided to change the sculpt so soon after release. I mean, I like the eyes both ways, but still.

    6. @skyealloway I love looking at pictures of your dolls because I am in love with their outfits and looks and just everything you do with them.
       
      #606 jessholy, Apr 18, 2022
    7. Agreed @Sianserais (although I almost forgot there was a version 1 & 2 of Lucia.)
      @jessholy ah thank you :)

      I've been thinking about Creature Doll lately and I think I want to commission someone to make some of the outfits I missed out on, like the peasant girl look and the red priestess. Or I should just not be lazy and make the outfits myself....I have lots of projects I do though so it's hard to get to all my ideas!

    8. So awhile back I sent Creature Doll an email (August 2021) - I wasn't really expecting a response, but I got one the other day! It's not a super happy update, but I thought I would share.

      "Dear Erin.


      Hello.

      Sorry for replying so late.

      Thank you for your interest in my doll.

      Unfortunately, reselling the doll seems to be difficult.

      I always feel sorry for those who like my dolls.

      The creaturedoll is not a very popular doll, so it is quite

      Running the company was difficult.

      Making a doll is physically quite difficult, so I It is true

      that my health has deteriorated a lot. (My health has improved a lot now.^_^)

      I also feel sorry for not being able to implement many designs in my head into reality.

      Once again,

      I apologize for the late reply, and I hope you are always happy and healthy."

      I am glad to hear he is feeling a lot better now physically, though. :sorry I think the name "Creature Doll" worked against him as far as search terms for the Western bjd market go, unfortunately...

    10. I already have a Lucia and I know some of y'all that are more active in this thread do as well, but I recently learned our friend vermont_chick had a stroke and will need constant care. Her entire doll collection was purchased and is being sold on eBay. Her Lucia is currently listed, and the seller said there are still about 20 or so more dolls to list. I plan to watch for her Karen, and she had a Mei and Lilith as well. I am very sad to acquire a Creature Doll in this way and I hope Vermont_chick's collection all goes to good new homes.

    11. @skyealloway - Oh no! I just watched my father die from a stroke last year. Here's hoping she can make a full recovery. :eusa_pray Thanks for letting us know.
       
      #611 Sianserais, Apr 20, 2022
    12. @skyealloway Thank you for the information but oh my goodness...this hurts my heart! I still visit her blog for information on all kinds of doll companies and outfits. I hope she can recover. :pout:

    13. This is sad news. It doesn't look hopeful if they sold her dolls. C'mon, girl, fight!

    14. Oh no that's so sad to hear about Vermont Chick. I love her collection and visited her blog lots over the years. It's a treasure trove of information and her posts were so informative and fun. I too will be wishing for a recovery for her. :(

      I went ahead and placed a bid on her Lucia. I feel sad about getting a chance to own a Creature Doll under these circumstances, but I figure it's best if her dolls can stay within the community. Hopefully I can bring her home and cherish her the way Vermont Chick did.

    15. I'm contemplating bidding too on Lucia but I am not sure...I love looking at everyone else's Lucia but would she really fit with my collection?
       
      #615 jessholy, Apr 22, 2022
    16. Hi everyone! I'm the one who bought vermont chick's Lucia. I've loved seeing everyone's dolls so far. :)

    17. So apparently vermont_chicks dolls were at a Habit for Humanity for a while before Champlain Collectables bought most of them.... So far I've found three total eBay vendors selling pieces from Vermont Chicks collection . Today I managed to snag her Lilith! At first I was thinking this would just be the body for my Mei head....but now I'm thinking I really like the Lilith head. I think a cool Geisha inspired look would work well for her. She should be here next week!

    18. @skyealloway Oh wow...who are the other two if we may ask? Congrats on snagging her Lilith - I will have to live vicariously through all of you owners!
       
      #618 jessholy, May 11, 2022
    19. The others are Vermontkings and carrymeohio. Niether has nearly as much as Champlain Collectables. In fact at the moment niether of them have dolls listed but they did at one time and they were clearly Vermont chicks.
       
      #619 skyealloway, May 11, 2022
    20. @skyealloway Thank you for the names (though I couldn't find carrymeohio). Vermontkings has some dolls listed but some of them are mislabeled. How do you even search for Creature Dolls on ebay if potential sellers don't even know the brand name?
