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. My Diana finally came in! She's quite bland right now, but I like her. She's so big though, and she's only a head. (Obviously speaking as a first time SD-owner :D)
      And her ears, they're so big! Everything about is so huge, gah! Now, enough of my ranting, here's a little picture of her :)

      I'm also super excited to see what the Dear Mine fullset of her will look like, and when the body will be released, since I won't be able to afford the fullset. Kicking myself for other companies 'stealing' my money, but in hindsight, I'll probably survive, lol. Enjoy the Diana goodness!

    2. PotatoMash - there's nothing bland about your girl, she looks beautiful, even as just a head so far :)

      When I received my first SD, which was also my first BJD, I was shocked at how big she was too!

    3. Big congrats, Potatomash, and I'll second what Anna said, definitely nothing bland about your girl, she's gorgeous. :kitty1

      And finally, looks like it won't be long before we finally get our first look at Diana's new Dearmine SD body as Dearmine recently posted a notice that as of June 14th they will be releasing a special Limited version of Diana complete with body. Looks like they only plan to release 30 of the new girls. See:- http://www.dearminedoll.com/notice.html

    4. My Angela is still blank, but well at least you see how the head fits on Dreaming doll body. It looks on camera good match, but in reality there is some difference (sorry, i'm not very good photographer).

      Excited to see DearMine SD body! Only sad thing is that body will be on sale 28th day and I'm going traveling for a month after 26th day. Just so my luck...

    5. Good photo, chibi-kagu! As much as I love my Diana with her limited default J Rose face-up, I actually wish I had ordered a blank version of her head as well. I look forward until she's available in blank form as I think she would be great to see customized!
       
      #105 JenKat, Jun 12, 2013
    6. Thank you JenKat! I still don't know what to do with head. Maybe I should just try out making a face-up and if it doesn't work out, then send it some one more talented artist.:) Well still have to wait for the new wig I ordered her, couldn't resist new For my dolls colors.

    7. Ooo, just saw an updated note from Dearmine saying the new Dear Shine body will be available by itself in Normal Skin to match the limited release Diana Rose heads and will be available from June 28th to July 31st. Ok, now I really really want to see what the new Dear Shine girl body looks like!!!!
       
      #107 JenKat, Jun 13, 2013
    8. JenKat - Oh that is fabulous news!! I'm really excited to see how this new body will look and am thrilled for such a long order period.

      Anna - I haven't forgotten your photo, I just haven't been able to take it yet as things have been busy. :sweat

    9. MacaronTea, no worries - I know it takes time to set up photo sessions, especially with bigger dolls! :)

      I'm extremely excited to see Diana's body released. The impatient part of me is disappointed that it won't be shown on the 14th with the rest of the new releases, but two weeks isn't that long of a wait! :lol:
       
      #109 Anna, Jun 13, 2013
    10. Just over a week now until the new Dearshine body is unveiled! Is anyone else desperate just to catch a glimpse of it at least so that we can start to guess what kind of treat we are in for this time?
       
      #110 JenKat, Jun 19, 2013
    11. I keep hoping that Dear Mine will start releasing teaser pictures on Facebook this week! Nothing yet, but I keep checking daily :)
       
      #111 Anna, Jun 19, 2013
    12. Hehe, glad to hear I'm not the only one doing that then, Anna ​:kitty1
       
      #112 JenKat, Jun 19, 2013
    13. Still no sign of a hint at what the new DearShine body might possibly look like yet....not for lack of keenly keeping an eye out for even a glimpse of something. After all, it's the 27th here on this side of the Asia Pacific already today so just one more day to go.....very exciting :kitty1
       
      #113 JenKat, Jun 26, 2013
    14. Looks like we are getting a 10% off event for the Diana + body launch! That's quite exciting! I can't wait to see previews of the body and the full-set. I really hope Dear Mine will start releasing pictures soon (as in tonight... I'm having difficulty being patient :lol:)

    15. http://www.dearminedoll.com/diana.html Guys guys guys!!! *flail* There's a teaser photo in coloe up ! I just...Gawd she's cute. I was so afraid I would fall in love, but I'm telling myself she isn't my style. I really like that necklave/choker thing, looks like rhinestone on her pretty resin neck. She's so cute !
       
      #115 PotatoMash, Jun 27, 2013
    16. Oh wow, the body looks just like what I was hoping for!!!! A big version of the Dear Lover girls body! *Faints*...Can't wait to see more!

      And this one http://www.dearminedoll.com/diana-en.html
      That face, and in the white :kitty1
      No sign of the body by itself yet, though. Can't wait for more pictures.
       
      #116 JenKat, Jun 27, 2013
    17. I am waiting to see full body photos to decide if I will be doomed sooner rather than later, but I like what I see so far.
       
      #117 Tonboko, Jun 27, 2013
    18. I really love the new Diana sooo far I hope the body is really nice cuz I am so tempted to get one.

    19. New body released. Wow. That hip joint is strange? And no split in the torso. Hmm...
       
      #119 Razzy, Jun 28, 2013
    20. Well, I've gone and put through my layaway request for the Dear Shine body. I just saw strung tail as opposed to magnetic and I knew it would be a must. My past experience with larger hearvier SD tails such as Pipos' size L tail parts is that that the heavier they are the harder they are to keep in place / stop from falling off when it comes to magnets...but a strung tail! Brilliant =^-^= So, by the looks of it, the attachment method is not unlike the Pipos Pi cat tails (speaking from experience with my Cheshire).

      I actually really love this body despite the lack of a torso joint, it has a beautiful soft sculptural quality. I was comparing it side by side with pictures of the Sadol Love 60 body with its non-jointed torso and I think I prefer the fit of the shoulder on the DearShine body but, agreeing with you on the hips a bit there Razzy, the rounder hip socket of the Love 60 over the sharper edge of the Dearshine hip socket. However, this isn't that dissimilar to the Dear Lover hip socket when you look at it.

      I also love that, although I again love the sculptural look of the fused heel foot / leg part in the Love 60, I think I prefer the jointed heel foot part of the Dearshine body.
