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.

    7. Hello,
      I'm a bit confused about Custom House dolls (now called Aidolls).
      I was searching an official web, but the links on DoA regarding Aidolls wiki infos don't works)
      Someone suggested me in another topic that now Aidolls are sold here

      http://aidolls.taobao.com/shop/view_shop.htm?spm=a1z0e.1.10010.5.OecGmI

      But to tell the truth, I don't trust taobao at all..
      moreover, those dolls looks 'recast' to me.
      And their mold are don't looks like 'aidolls' anymore.

      Someone know if there's still an original official place to buy custom house/aidolls?

      I don't understand, these dolls was really cute and had a lot of success... why they don't sell them anymore?

    8. [MENTION=24021]soulcalibur33[/MENTION] To me it looks like they're legit aidolls. I don't see any clues to why they would be recasts.
      I'm not sure what you mean with "And their mold are don't looks like 'aidolls' anymore." as the heads are the same as they had before?
      They have updated some bodies I see, but I prefer the old ones.

      I think this is the only "official" place, the websites shut down a while ago. They went out of business because they had scammed their customers. They only sold to chinese customers after that, but that website disappeared too.
      Of course I'm not 100% sure this is legit, but I really think it is. Recast shops often carry multiple brands, not just 1.

    10. The news post said you could order "through Enchanted Dolls, [email protected]."

      If you are interested in ordering, you might email them and see if they are still handling orders. I have found enough kids on the secondary market!
       
      #150 nancy_schroeder_ca, Jul 14, 2015
    11. Thanks for the info.... mmm... if they are legit, to me many of them looked like recast.. and maybe I understood why

      quote:
      "They changed hands a lot as a company, new management wasn't very good and they either are now just focusing on the Asian market or finally drove themselves out of business. Secondary market is going to be your best bet for sure."

      So they changed 'hands' and it's not the same who make the aidolls's sculpt anymore... that's why they looks not like aidolls...
      (at least, uriel, gabriel etc..) had different faces...

      Now the 'new' sculpts looks like this:
      [​IMG]

      the 'old' Gabriel looks like this: ^^

      [​IMG]


      Btw I noticed that if I take a look better, I can see many 'old' sculps... but also the pictures are 'old'...
      I wonder if you order now, if you get a 'new' mold /remake of the old sculpts that are showed in the pictures...

      To be honest, I don't feel so much trust to aidolls knowing that
      "They went out of business because they had scammed their customers. " >_<

      So they are a chinese company, right?
      Maybe is better I'll search on the second-hand market place...
      I'm searching for Gabriel 'old' sculpt...


      Thanks again for all the infos! :)

    12. @soulcalibur33 Heehee those are my dolls:) well the two on the left xD
      Hani looks the same to me, but Gaby doesn't.
      They do have some of the old sculpts still. But I can understand you not feeling safe ordering from them.
      I have no idea if they treat their customers better now. They wouldn't send out dolls, or incomplete ones. Some people had to wait for years, and didn't get the right one, or just none at all.
      I know people went through the local police there to get their dolls, but all in all it wasn't good.. Then they changed their name to Aidolls. But I think no one dared to order there anymore.
      I can totally understand you wanting Gabriël, I love mine, she just has the sweetest smile :3 I hope you will find her second hand. They still have her listed on there, but they changed the body. (Gaby and Gabriël are two different sculpts)
       
      #152 Sodabeentjes, Jul 14, 2015
    13. Thank you [MENTION=60229]Sodabeentjes[/MENTION] I think you clarify a lot about aidolls now...
      Ahh... you're lucky... I loved your Gabriël at first sight! I like dolls that don't looks like most of the dolls around! She is sweet but different! I hope I'll be lucky enough to find one, but I m afraid will be hard the second hand solution as well: that's because , if there were a shop to buy her , is good because I know I can get her when I'm ready to get... but in the case of second hand... everytime I find one (usually) is always when I'm still saving money XD
      So I don't know... for now it's just an idea of my next doll (I want for sure a YOSD) but for now I'm looking around for dolls with different scults... there's many cute dolls around, but they looks... how I can say? ... like a sister of my 2 lati yellow... they looks all similar XD (maybe I should get a pukifee because Fairyland have a bit different scults.. but I don't know.. for now there's no pukifee sculpts that convinced me.... for now I have Gabriël 's similar sculpt in mind XD (Gabriël remember me also a doll I saw once in USA... it's not an asian doll... )

      PS: oh... I forgot... if you have a gallery of your Gabriël can you share it please? XD I want to see more pics of her from actual owners than the typical pic from the old aidoll website!
      Maybe I could find a sculpt similar to her! XD

    14. [MENTION=24021]soulcalibur33[/MENTION] Sure I do ^^ https://www.flickr.com/photos/77422253@N02/sets/72157631602206876
      I do hope she pops up for you at the right time, but I can understand you are looking for other options. No dolls come to my mind at the moment, but for example Rosenlied has some smilar aesthetics to old CH dolls.
      Good luck with your search! :D

    20. Awww, your dolls are all so cute, @ocean-girl and @nancy_schroeder_ca !
      And thank you for my Uri, whose name is Flora, I've forgotten to mention it.

      I edited my last message and re-inserted the picture. All my pics from the old forum didn't make the move, none of the links work any more... meh!
