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.

Dim Minimee Update & Talk Part 1

Dec 26, 2006

    1. Oh my god .. I'm so sorry Denny.
      I really hope that everything gets worked out.
      Please don't be depressed. This isn't your fault, and everything you do has made all of us nothing but happy. We will support you in anything! Please hang in there.
       
    2. O_O....holy moly....that's really bad.
      But Denny I'm still behind you 100%, and I hope that because of this, your dream of the Minimee Project has not come to an end.

      About the orders that are still open, will you email the people who's orders are being canceled or will be finished?

      With kind regards [and a BIG hug]

      Sabriell
       
    3. I am so sorry to read this! What a mess - it´s so bitter to see a great project ending like this :( I feel so sorry for you.

      I was looking so forward to my head ...what will happen now, like Sabriell said, with the open orders?
       

    4. Thank you Sabriell and people who wrote to me.

      Yes, I will contact people individually in few days about their orders.

      It's a very shocking day of my life and I spent hundreds days to do this project.
      Thank you again and after I talk to my team leader, I will post a news for people.

      Again, I appreciate people for the warm comments and e-mails.
      Love,

      Denny
       
    5. that's really bad.
       
    6. I'm so sorry Denny, this is really awful. I hope Dolkot do the right thing, but obviously you have to work things out with your team.

      If you can work without your team leader I think you should, as I don't know anyone on here that will go to Dolkot now because of this. (They probably wouldn't have before, but 100% definite now.)

      We're all behind you Denny. I would still like my Minimees and I won't go to anyone else for them.
       
    7. Oh I am so sorry, Denny... This is a beautiful project and it's a pity it has to end like this. But I am sure that everything will sort out and in some time you'll be able to continue. Don't let some stupid people ruin this dream. I'm totally supporting you with all my heart.
       
    8. What a mess. It's too bad that this had to happen. The other company has posted a notice on their site as well, so it looks like both of you were caught up in a huge misunderstanding.

      I hope that this situation is temporary, and things will be resolved soon. Please let us know should you need any help.

      (By the way, I'm a bit surprised how this is discussed more freely here on DOA than the Korean community. The overly cautious 'let's avoid mudslinging wars' attitude has killed all manner of free speech in our communities, which is a pity.)
       
    9. Woa. o_o Woah. What?? Oh man, that's terrible news, Denny :(
      Please contact us soon and don't leave us in the dark - we're still supporting you with all our hearts (>3<)

      I hope this can be resolved - not just for us, but for you - we all know how important this project is to you.
       
    10. OMG, Denny, no. For me Minimee is always connected with You as the original inventor. I would never buy from another. It is Your dream and Your heartblood that is in it. I hope there is a solution soon that You are satisfied with!

    11. Oh Denny, this is just awful. I'm so, so sorry! I can't even imagine the thinking behind your team leader's actions - if there was any at all!

      I know it's unlikely, but please let us know if there's anything we can do to help you.
       
    12. Thank you all of you.
      The leader sent me e-mail with so many excuses.
      As he is not aware of this field, he thought it would be possible to do some behind business with other companies so he rushed into thin field on his own in a secret way.
      He didn't realize the dolkot did promote this project in that way.
      He seems to me that he was regret.

      But..I already lost many things...the time and the effort to make the team to be able to do this project.
      This isn't the first time that he did something bad on me. I forgave him first..but this time....I think he will soon realize that I wouldn't do business with him.
      I am just trying not to say anything bad to him and calm myself.
      I just asked the team finish the work that is being currently worked on so that I can keep the promise with my customers.

      I will be searching for members to work with me and of course, the manufacturing.
      It will take a lot of time and days to restart....But I will not give up this project and let you know people when I get a good news.
      I am sure he will start contacting other BJD manufacturers for this project,
      But I hope they will not use the same contents, the ideas and plans that I have created.....

      Thank you all......I am happy to know you......guys....we've never seen each other...but...if I have a chance to meet you all.....I will buy lots of beer and ^^ things..to have a good time. I am a happy guy and I love meeting people.

      To Sabriell, If you ever visit to Korea, You must let me know in advance.
      I will be at the airport to pick you up and be your guide to show you around with my family ~~ a great dinner and night will be ready for you ^^

      Denny
       
    13. Denny, thank you for keeping us updated. It's really awful that he'd so such a thing, and I really hope you can find someone genuine and trustworthy to continue this project with. You've worked so hard on it, and we've all enjoyed it so much, so it must continue! I know it can!
       
    14. =3=...he really is a "&#48148;&#48372;" [just to practice my Korean already hehe]
      To think he could get away with this..hehe it's so sad that it's almost funny...in a non-laughable way >_<
      I'm sorry we can't do more to make you less sad.

      And Denny when I have this planned this trip I'll let you know, I can't wait to meet you and your family <33

      Sabriell
       
    15. Thanks for the update, Denny - information is the most valuable thing to us right now. Thankyou for letting us know what you can. :)

      We will always be here behind YOUR project, and moreso now than ever. The team have made a very big mistake here... we'll be waiting to hear what you can tell us - keep smiling!
       
    16. I'm so sorry to hear that, Denny. I can't believe someone would do that to you after all of your hard work on this.
       
    17. Thank you for the update, Denny! It&#180;s good to see there is some hope, I really really hope that all this mess will turn into something good in the end!
       
    18. Wow, Denny, that's just horrible. :( The absolute best of luck getting another good team together.

      I know that most of us will keep you instead of DolKot. You've worked very hard and been very good to us.
       
    19. Oh my gosh!!! *sends Denny lots of hugs and love*:(
      I go to sleep and all of this plays out!!

      The &#8220;team leader&#8221; makes me really upset! Denny, I hope you can find an amazing team that will make you dreams still come true!!
      Tell the rest of the team &#8220;Thank You&#8221; for finishing the projects that are already working on!!! :)
      I am just so shocked!!! {I don&#8217;t even know what to say&#8230; }

      It makes me sad that he disappointed you in this way, but I think that everything will get better and I think that there will be someone who will save this project for you!!! Again, I send many hugs!

      P.S. Yes!! I will ONLY work with you, so no fears! Your new team will have lots of customers!!!
       
    20. Ugh, that's really terrible for someone you put trust into to just think that they can take your idea like that. You must feel terribly violated. :(
      I'm glad to know that you don't plan to completely give up the Minimee project that's given so many people their dream dolls though and, when you are able to continue, look forward to being able to order from you <3
      I think even if your former team leader does go to other companies with the idea he will find that companies tend not to want to work with people they can't trust. And even if he does find a company to work for the doll community is very close knit and particularly wary of people who bring such a bad name to the hobby.
      I wish you the best and have no doubt that you'll only grow stronger through this adversity :aheartbea
