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.

Custom House Little Junior and Junior discussion part 1

Jan 29, 2007

    1. Thanks, itseva! I have to say, the poor boy is really stiff! I think I need to re string him. I did that to Annabelle and now she poses a lot better (still needs sueding though!). >__<
       
    2. Thanks you guys! Akiro is certainly settling in here just fine. ^^ I was a bit worried he wouldnt.

      Quinn is so cute! The sweater looks great! Hehe, it is certainly that time to get ready for the cold.

      Hamlet and Annabelle are adorable! I love Hamlet's jacket.

      itseva - Thanks. Hm.. In my opinion I think the juniors are more on the average side, they are certainly not as lanky and slim as my dollmore kids, and the delf kids are just busty and hefty.. but not in a bad way.
       
    3. Thanks so much, Foxxian!! Now I know there really is a hight difference. ^^

      Akiro is completely adorable; I especially like the way his wig frames his face. And the little headphones!
       
    4. I'm having trouble getting my Junior girl to stand; haven't tried any fancy poses yet, just need her to stand up so that I can try clothes on her as I sew. One of her legs (the left one, I think) seems a little longer but the problem seems more complicated than that. When I put her legs in the stand niche inside her lower body and look at her from the side, she seems pitched forward a bit. Has anyone else experienced similar problems? I will definitely sand down the longer leg but is that niche inside the body misplaced or does she just need a shot of hot glue on that hip joint?
       
    5. sueding never hurts a dolls posability I find :) Even my best posers are sueded..... I would see about maybe a sueding before you do any major mods personally. It doesn`t hurt anything and could only probably help in the long run.

      I also know that different molds have their own quirks when it comes to standing (had to learn how to ballance six different companies). My custom house LJ boy is actually a better stander then the girl....not sure why that is but I just chaulk it up to her own little kink.
       
    6. i've spent some time sewing for my LJ Vintage Ai Odree yesterday, and made her panties:

      also, as for the poseability, i found hot glue sueding being a great deal helpful - at first i was totally devastated about the body, but now it poses quite decently i have to say!
       
    7. Thanks, Sirius53Black and finallyiamnoone, I didtake her apart and hot glue suede her hip and knees joints and managed to smash a thumbnail in the process but she is finally holding a stand pose. Measured front and back of all of her leg parts and of all of those six measurements, I only found 1 mm difference so I won't mess with that but that left leg sure looks longer.

      Cute panties for Odree with the little heart sewn on!
       
    8. Wow those are some great pics,finallyiamnoone! Odree sure seems to pose really well now! I love the panties you made for her too! Very cute!
       
    9. Oh, those pants are so cute!
       
    10. Hi:

      I didn't notice that anyone mentioned this before so excuse me if it was but I own a Mars boy and purchased a wig from the Cotin Doll Shop on eBay. The wigs fit a 7.0 - 7.5 head and I was quite pleased with it. The wig fit well and I purchased a style that kind of resembled the wig on the Mars boy featured on CH's website. It was a bit darker than I expected and I trimmed his bangs a bit but I thought he looked good in his wig, not feminine looking. I'm presently waiting for his face-up to be completed so I'm looking forward to that. The styles are more funky and they seem to be made well.
       
    11. I need to get some boy style wigs for my junior and little junior guys. I don't really have any smaller sized male wigs. Next on the shopping list. Have you got a link to the Cotin doll shop on ebay? I was planning on looking to see what Dollmore had. They're usually fairly reasonable.
       
    12. [umm, nevermind.]
       
    13. Hi Hobbysue:

      Try searching under CotinDoll Shop MSD and you'll see the items they sell which are mostly wigs. I hope you may find something there that you like.
       
    14. Thanks twinki! I'll take a look. I've just sent some of my customhouse dolls off to get their face-ups done so I'll be needing wigs soon.
       
    15. A recent (not so good) pic of Akiro listening to his music.

      Also I havent had any trouble with shoes for Akiro. Dollmore shoes fit, and Akiro is currently wearing shoes from nine9.
       
    16. Foxxian, another cute picture of Akiro. Wondering what he is listening to?

      I've finally managed to get a couple of decent shots of Micah with his older sister. I changed his eyes and his hair. I think the 12mm eyes will stay, because they look so much better on him than the 14mm ones. Though maybe I'll get him another color. He finally looks less like a little kid and much more like a 12-year-old now. The wig is temporary but not bad, I think.

    17. Itseva, Micah looks great with 12mm eyes! Yay for Mars spam! I sent Hamlet and Annabelle out for faceups so they'll be out for a while. :(
      I love Akiro and his little headphones! He looks like a normal teenage boy! So cute!
       
    18. itseva - Thanks! ^^ Im not sure what he is listening to. I love the look of that new wig. It is a fantastic color!

      guls207 - Thanks! Thats exactly the look I was going for. ^^ Just a normal teen.
       
    19. that might be true, for LJ boys have bigger feet. girls have 5cm feet, so most of MSD shoes are too big for them, and YoSD- too small.

      although, two only two pairs my Zooey has now (apart fro the ones i have up for sale which i don't use) are yo-sd shoes ;P

      and here she is in her new lingerie:
