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. Such a pretty face and I love her wig! <3
       
    2. Ah! I was staring at her on the MP. Congrats. I love her and she reminds me so much of an Unoa but with a softer younger look.
       
    3. @chibi.chan
      awwww shes such a ginger. its adorable!
      (its funny because she looks JUST LIKE this girl in my first period named jenna)
       
    4. So I may not have pictures yet, I'm working on his faceup, but I just welcomed home a brand-new Little Junior Hades! I suspect that with the December and January orders finally shipped, I may not be the only one. He's absolutely precious, but I was hoping to get some advice here?

      First of all, while I'm happy with him either way, he is REALLY pale. I ordered NS, but he matches a MNF in WS almost perfectly! Is that typical with newer CH resin, or did I get a whiteskin by mistake?

      Second, I know I've seen a list of links or a thread about clothes that fit the LJ boys--does anyone have a link to that by any chance? I've had no luck find it, and right now he's stuck in a pair of MNF girl pants with a piece of string for a belt! I'd really appreciate some help tracking down info on good clothes.

      Thank so much, and I'll be back with pictures as soon as he's painted!
       
    5. Wolfie, every CH doll I received (3 total) since last September has been cream white, even though I ordered normal resin. Their "normal" is just very very pale. I suppose their white resin, if they offer it, is going to be paper white by comparison. So, you definitely got normal resin :)

      Here is a photo of my mini Cebee, which I received late last year. As you can see, she's pretty pale!

    6. I got the normal skin and its almost the same color as my ringdoll in white I am not sure if that helps anyone.
      I can post a photo later if anyone would like?
       
    7. Yea, they have really un-colored their NS... I would be very interested to see what their WS is even like at all, if they'll even release more white dolls...
       
    8. I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that the more color you add to the resin, the more air bubbles and the more difficult to get a good cast. So I suppose that using almost white resin would cut down on the costs?
       
    9. Ah, that makes some sense then. CH was having all those casting problems; maybe that's when/why they switched.... But still, lol, I still have no idea how they'll be able to differentiate between NS and WS. X3
       
    10. Custom House has used a very pale NS resin for a long time. For reference, here is a picture of basic NS Yeondu and the LE WS Yeondu as Alice, both from before all the problems with Custom House.

      PS: The WS is very white!

    11. My Selene and Dione (from... I don't know, 2006 or so?) were a lot darker than the current resin, though. I also have several dolls on older Little Junior bodies, and they're nowhere near as pale as the more recent CH dolls... I don't know when they started going lighter.
       
    12. The NS Yeondu is from mid 2008 and she is the very pale NS. So maybe in 2007.
       
    13. here is my Yeondu from this year with the natural skin tone on the left with a custom house body(sorry about the cat eyes). On the right is the Miyo head with a ringdoll body you can see how the pale the coloring is almost a cream color.
      (sorry no eyebrows right now)[​IMG][/IMG]
      sorry not a very good photo!
       
    14. Oh, I'm glad I clicked on this thread! This helps so much since I just got a used Mars head and I was considering a ringdoll body to put it on, but was wondering how well the resin might match up. Thanks!
       
    15. I am glad it helps! <3
       
    16. I haven't spammed my sweet little Annabelle here for quite some time! :o
      She will be turning 2 this month. :)

    17. Oh goodness, she's beautiful, guls207. Icarus is one of my favorites out of the Little Junior sculpts. I've never seen one as a girl before, but Annabelle looks just perfect.

      I could have sworn I'd dropped by this thread before, but it seems I never posted here. I have some pictures I took of my LJ Jupiter from ... over a year ago, actually, but I suppose sharing them now is better than never. XD;

      The full set is here; one pic below for a preview:

    18. Your dolls are so cute, guls207 and meili-melee!

      I miss my own LJ boys - I sent them back to my mom's place because I have no room for them here and I figured that I haven't been in the hobby for a couple years and I wouldn't play with them much.

      Not three months later. . .Ahaha. Oh well! I'll get them back in a couple of weeks.
       
    19. I don't think I've posted Max yet on this thread. So, he wanted to introduce himself, and invite you all to come watch the parade!
      He got to ride on the back of the giant! Very fun.
