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.

      The doll comes sandwiched between two pillows tied together. While she wasn't broken or anything, she did come in a fetal position probably due to moving during shipment.

    12. I've ordered several times from DDE but this was my latest doll:
      * What did you order? Little Monica Little Harmony Jeremy
      * When did you order? August-December 2017 (layaway)
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Absolutely! Better, IMO, than many of the more popular and well-represented companies. Smooth resin, excellent stringing, posing and tension, lovely faceup.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Cuter!
      * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes indeed!
      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional) Everything about Jeremy is perfect, everything except my own nitpicky thing: his random eyes included with the faceup did NOT compliment the face at all. They completely clashed and looked odd. I know it's random for a reason so I don't feel this reflects poorly on DDE or on Little Monica.
      * Would you buy more from this company? Oh yes, DDE carries a lot of my doll staples!
       
    13. * What did you order? Feeple60 Celine
      * When did you order? September 27, 2018 to November 2, 2018 (did a layaway)
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes
      * Were you satisfied with the product? Yes.
      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product. Her head wobbles. That is my only issue. She's the first SD I've ever had so I have things to learn.

      Edit: A piece of resin chipped out of her head about a week after I got her.

      * Would you buy more from this company? Yes, the customer service is great!

    14. * What did you order? Fairyline Alicia Basic
      * When did you order? Nov. 9th
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Absolutely
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes
      * Were you satisfied with the product? 100% in love with it
      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      I have not found any negatives at this time. The Fairyland body and head are in perfect condition. The faceup was perfect. The product was packaged in original Fairyland box with all certificates and paperwork, with bubble wrap and paper to cushion inside the shipping box. The package was shipped the same day I made my order, and was received within the next 2 days. I was SUPER impressed with how fast it arrived, although this item was already in stock there, so it wouldn't be the same if it had to be ordered. I also called the shop before I made the order, to confirm the doll I was ordering was actually there, and the person who spoke with me was very knowledgeable, nice, and helpful!
      * Would you buy more from this company? I would buy from this company before ordering from the actual artist's website, if the doll I wanted was already in stock, since this shop is the closest one to me. If I have to wait the same amount of time anyway, I would order straight from the artist website. This is just a great alternative if what I want is in stock already. Why order straight from the artist, if what you want is closer and ready to ship, rather than waiting for 2-4 months to get the same thing?

      Edit: Forgot, I was going to add pictures as well...

    15. * What did you order? An in-stock Fullset Dollzone Yui with white skin

      * When did you order? December 20th 2018

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes, she's absolutely gorgeous.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Pictures didn't do her justice

      * Were you satisfied with the product? Absolutely

      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      Denver Doll Emporium was fantastic to work with. They had great communication and answered all my questions right away. Very good purchasing experience. =)

      As for Yui- one of the channels for the elastic in her right forearm seems like it might be a bit narrow. The hook holding her hand on keeps catching in it and then there isn't any tension to hold her hand in position. Should be an easy fix, but I want to make sure I'm addressing it correctly before doing anything.

      * Would you buy more from this company? Yes, and already have!
       
    16. * What did you order?
      Designs by DDE, their new original clothing brand. I bought two cardigans (black and dove/gray), two white T-shirts, and a pair of black/gray shorts, all in slim MSD size.

      * When did you order?
      April 16, 2020. They shipped it out the next morning and I got it 4 days later!

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Absolutely. I feel these were listed very reasonably for the quality that came in.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?

      They did! DDE posted some pretty realistic photos of the items on model dolls that seemed to have little to no editing. I actually feel the items I received looked even better than the photos.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Very much so, they look great and fit my minifee boy and girl perfectly.

      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      Positives:

      - Clean, serged seams
      - fit both male and female slim MSDs
      - the shirts open from snaps on the back, so you don't have to take your doll's head off to put the shirt on
      - denim shorts are SUPER durable
      - everything was made from very soft material

      Negatives:
      - back snaps are super fragile, I already broke one off
      - T-shirt fabric wrinkles easily, need to be careful with handling

      * Would you buy more from this company?
      Absolutely. DDE has yet to disappoint! Looking forward to browsing more of their clothes if they add even more styles.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes!
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? She looks a bit different with blue eyes, pink skin, rosier cheeks. She is very pretty just different from promo pic that features a different skin tone and yellow eyes.

      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      Mei is my first BJD and so I didn't know what to expect. She came in a soft yellow blanket bag. Her arms and legs are not easy to pose because they spring back which is annoying. Hoping that will work out in time. I am happy with her even with the springy arms and legs.
