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.

Crobidoll- Mini Discussion

Apr 3, 2009

    1. : D Thank you! I really was. I managed to get her during the second ordering period, which I honestly hadn't expected. I can't wait to see her face up once you send your girl out. I wasn't too fond of the heavy blushing myself, but the Heidi sculpt is really cute and very versatile. So I really can't wait to see what you have done with her. Really happy for you!!! Who do you plan on sending her out to?

      Also just wanted to add that the hands that Crobidoll made for their newer C-line sculpts are much, much better. They're a bit on the "chunky" side but I think they fit the mold(s) very well. They're very expressive on their own and VERY fun to photograph.

    2. Has Crobi mentioned anything about selling these guys' bodies separately in the future? I've got a floating head that I'd love to stick on one. * v*

    3. I don't think they have. You might have some luck asking Crobidoll if you can buy a body separately on their Q&A though.

      I'd like to bring up that Crobi bodies aren't exactly the best posers. My girl was able to stand on her own the first day I got her. The next day I had to tilt her torso a bit forward in order to stand, and less than a week after that she couldn't stand on her own at all. I think she might need some re-stringing but I don't know how to do that at all.

    4. Aa, yeah it could probably just use a re-stringing (or even wiring if it's really bad?). It's not that hard, and there's quite a few tutorials floating around. :>

      Crobidolls joints are just really appealing, in my opinion, compaired to a lot of other bodies I've seen. Which is the main reason I was looking into their bodies above most others.
       
      #24 Bellforge, Nov 23, 2010
    5. Oh don't get me wrong the joints look good and the actual body (+ hands and feet) has a very cute look. In fact the Crobidoll body is the best looking body I've had. And actually my Marisol can touch her face so I love her arms.

      I'm just very hesitant to re-string any of my dolls because I wasn't able to put a previous doll back together no matter how hard I tried. So I may actually need to learn from someone else in person. DX

    6. For anyone else that may have been interested in the body alone, this is the response I got back from Crobi:

    11. Ah no! I had my hopes on a release in white skin :(. I begged Crobidoll so many times. Don't get me wrong, they are both awesomely beautiful, but...

    12. I would only get another WS doll from Crobi if they were NOT in "sherbet white" which I think is part French resin and has yellowed HORRIBLY. I am the slightly disappointed owner of a Marie and I lover but I'm annoyed and sorry I didn't get Marisol, and annoyed because Marie is unsellable.
       
      #32 Chehime, Mar 16, 2012
    13. Have you contacted Crobidoll about that? I don't really see a lot of Marie's around so I'd never heard anything about it.

      Is it really bad?
       
      #33 taixonay, Mar 16, 2012
    14. Chehime - Wow, I had no idea about this! I always thought that Marie looks quite translucent as is always the case with french resin, but I thought it was just standard resin. This is really sad! Marie is such a lovely doll.

      *edit*
      Crobidoll just told me that they do not have plans to release Marie in Sherbet White again. No wonder O_o.

    15. Omg im so happy to hear about this.
      Marisol is one i really wanted but she was already sold out when i found her.
       
      #35 captainkyo, Mar 16, 2012
    16. AH! They are so cute! I broke down and got her this morning :)
       
      #36 AmoraSeth, Mar 16, 2012
    17. I'm not surprised.I wish they'd just put her out in regular white to begin with :(

      I wish I had the money, I might totally try for a Marisol if I could! But it's going to be hard! I recommend to everyone who wants one you wake up before they go on sale Korean time (no matter what time it is where you live) and be ready for a click war.

      And good luck to you all!! Maybe someday I'll snag one off these girls second hand :)

    18. Does anyone have any experience with Crobidoll tan resin? Is the tan only a surface color or is it mixed through with the resin?
       
      #38 AmoraSeth, Mar 16, 2012
    19. I have Marisol and I think the color's mixed through. I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise, though.
       
      #39 taixonay, Mar 16, 2012
    20. @taixonay - Thank you! Have you tried sanding the seams? I always heard mixed feelings on sanding a tan doll...
