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.

    5. YAY Molliebean for "drive by" Ruber spam! Your Ruber is such a sweet and wistful vampire!

      How's this for drive by Ruber spam? My Ruber, Dimitri, is such a haughty little vampire! He wants to be adored and fawned over.

      Im so inlove with Dikadoll sculpts! But, unfortunately, I have sworn off 70cm boys because I have come to the conclusion that they are just too big for me! Otherwise, I would get Batian, Murong, Zura, and Autumn! They are all so gorgeous! *sobs*

    6. He is so gorgeous Rabbit-moon! Makes me want to send my boy out for a professional face -up!

    7. Thank you so much, Molliebean! I have to admit I think Dikadoll did a wonderful job on his face-up! I love his eyebrows the most; you can see each little wispy hair in his brows! It's just amazing to me! I wish I could do face-ups like that!

    8. Rabbit-moon We really seem to have the same taste in dolls....my Doll-Love Brian is named Dimitri!
      I really like Zura too. My wish list is getting soooo long!
       
      #288 Molliebean, May 24, 2012
    9. LOL! Yeah, my Wish List is getting too long, too! (I keep another Wish List in my computer, because it's too long to be listed in DOA.)
      And, it doesn't help that all these companies keep coming out with all these gorgeous dolls! I just wish that Dikadoll was more popular! I really don't get it! Their sculpts are wonderful and the 70cm boy body is lovely (albeit, it's not as muscle-bound as a lot of current 70cm boys)
      However, I do wish they would redesign the 1/3 boy body to look more like the 70cm versions. I have to admit 1/3 boy body leaves me a little cold. My Ruber is currently on a DIM ver.2 body from 2008. The resin match is quite good, but Im still looking for a better body.

      (Also, I like your little tribute to Bodding. I was a Bee Gees fan, too. Sorry to hear of Robin's passing. It's like all the idols of my youth are leaving. Atleast, I still have a lot of fond memories because of their music.)

    11. Rabbit-moon: Funny, I actually like the 1/3 body...probably because it stands so well!
      I was totally crushed when Robin died...I have only been in love with him since I was 8 years old...but yes, their music will certainly live on!

      Narina: No!!!! I didn't see him! Omg...he's gorgeous! I am so doomed. Thanks for posting it! (watching doll plans going all askew again)

    12. GUYS I have a horrible problem!
      I took apart to restring my dikadoll autumn, and one leg strung up fine, but the other leg I can't get the elastic past halfway down his calf!
      looking through the hole, I see the hole stops halfway and continues at an awkward angle, so I only see a fraction of light. Why would they do this??
      so the elasic gets stuck hitting the inside, and obviously I cant make elastic bend 90 degrees!
      what do I do??
       
      #292 deathlyDee, Jun 12, 2012
    13. Have you tried using a piece of thin string to pull the elastic all the way through?
       
      #293 Cloudedmind, Jun 12, 2012
    14. yeah of course. the hole itself just isnt clear all the way through the leg. its like they drilled it from each end and didnt clear the middle D: I used thin silk and that fit with some fiddling, but god knows how they managed threading the elastic through in the first place.
      im so stumped, im tempted trying to drill it out myself.
       
      #294 deathlyDee, Jun 12, 2012
    15. Oh yikes...that is strange. I hope you can fix it!




       
      #295 Molliebean, Jun 12, 2012
    16. Drilling it out would probably be the best, baring that some serious elbow grease. Since Dika sent it like that and the elastic did go all the way through before it must be possible to do so again, you may just have to pull it harder then you'd like.

    18. DeathlyDee - do you have any craft wire, or plant wire? Something thin, a long enough length so you can loop it around the end of the elastic loop, and then twist around itself so you have a "leader" that won't collapse on itself like a piece of string would.

      When it comes through the lower end of the piece, wind the end of the wire around a pliers or needle-nose pliers head, and you'll have plenty of strength to pull the elastic through.

    19. I'm not entirely sure what you mean, Hobbywhelmed, but I've tried threading silk through it, and even wrapping the entire thing in plastic so itll slide through easier, but the 90 degree bends just catch just about everything. At this point im worried about the resin cracking if I drill into it.
      Does resin crack??
       
      #299 deathlyDee, Jun 21, 2012
    20. Im so happy :3. Soon my order is going to dikadoll and they made Autumn on white skin and jointed hands for me. He comes 5 joint body. Next Dikadoll for me is Shall. Now long waiting. Please send here more photos of Autumn and Shall.
