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

Page 139 of 201
    1. Possibly the minimee at dolkot will be cancelled and the one in DIM will continue after all these things are sorted out.
      That's what i think, and that's the right thing to do in my opinion, for both companies.

    2. I just want to wish good luck to Denny and agree with everyone else that my alliance is with him and his project. I also must say that I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear what will happen with my Vincent and his body. Thank you for telling us what is going on, and for keeping us informed in the future as to what is happening. Much love for Denny. chu chu

      EDIT: Wah, I just won Vincent's eyes off of ebay :)

    3. :o :( Good Grief....work the weekend and come back to read this!??? Denny I'm sorry to hear about this, but I WILL support your DIM company only as others here have said. It's sad how people can be greedy in life and want their cake and eat it too as the expression goes. Will patiently wait for your project to start again......

I hope that soon you will able to put together an even better team than before and come back with a vengeance! :thumbup I am also behind you 100% and will only buy a minimee from you.

    5. Denny, I just wanted to say that I think it's horrible that this is happening. I wish you luck with things being all sorted out so that you can get everything back on track. As I hadn't yet had a chance to place an order for my special Minimee boy, I do hope that things will work out so that the project can continue.

      I also want you to know that I support you 100% and I will NEVER buy a "Minimee" from ANY other company aside from DIM. I know you and your team have done beautiful work, so I hope the project will be able to continue so that others can make their dream dolls a reality. With that said, I do look forward to hopefully working with you on my doll in the future. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication on this one-of-a-kind project, because there can be no imitators. ^-^ You run the first and only real Minimee project!

      <3

    6. I heard things that I heard from my team leader and Dolkot.
      My team leader approached Dolkot for doing some behind business for making sculpts and bodies as they now gained knowledge that I gave them for a year. So I suppose the leader(Mr.Ko) contacted several BJD companies for his own business although it was exclusive business with me.
      He mentioned about minimee business as well and the company was caught about it.
      Mr.Ko explained me that he never knew that Dolkot used the contents and photos in that way as he said not to use images and the sales plan that I've made.
      In the point, dolkot said differently, they said to me that the team leader didn't mention about photos and contents. So ^^ this happened.
      Anyway, I am trying my best to complete the current order ^^ and I will let you guys know how things are going in the future.

      Edit : Anyway, Dolkot didn't mean to do bad things on DIM and they downed the Minimee too, we things are solved.
      I just need to solve things out with my team leader how to end professionally.

      Thank you

      Denny

    7. Thanks for making things clear Denny, you are taking this issue like a gentleman, and being a man like me, we both know what means to be called a gentleman by others.
      It's easy to pretend to be one when everything goes well, but the real ones, are the ones that can face adversity like you're doing right now, without losing respect and manners for anyone, that's something to be proud of.

      And now that everything has been cleared, is easy to know who is the one to blame for this. I still think that both you and Dolkot were victims in this, and as an act of respect for your work, dolkot cancelled their "minimee" project, so, I hope you can continue your excellent work with minimee and hopefully a good relationship with Dolkot, you deserve it.

      I'm not so active in these formus, so many people would think that I'm not the best one to get involved in this with a few posts and to talk like I'm doing, but I had to do something, I had the feeling that I had to say what I was thinking about this, not being a mere spectator like I've been mostly in den of angels.

      So, I just have one more thing to say.
      You have gained all my respect.

    9. Thanks for keeping us updated, Denny. I really hope things will go smoothly for you from here on in!


      Customs are taking their sweet time with Kyo ~__~ He hasn't even got a charge on him yet! It's cruel that they make you wait, then make you pay for it >: But I can't do anything about it, so I'll just sit tight and wait for my letter x_x;
       
      #2769 Kazzii, Oct 30, 2007
    10. Good for you, Denny! And as a LOT of people have said on here, we're behind you 100%, for however long it takes.

      Torimiko, can't wait to see Vincent with his new eyes ^^

    11. Good to hear, Denny. :)

    12. The bodies with BP heads that my friend and I ordered have just been shipped, so some things ARE still chugging along over there. :)
       
      #2772 The Elf Piper, Oct 30, 2007
    13. Yeah, and Dollkot too. They've had dolls copied in the past so they must know what it's like when something like this happens. I think anyone that wanted a Minimee would be more than willing to wait however long it would take for the project to start again. They know it will be more than worth it ^_^
       
      #2773 Pansy_Rocker, Oct 30, 2007
    14. On that note... Those of us who ordered from this round of Minimee bodies with the JD head? Are we still okay?

      Not to be too self-centered about this, but... ^^'
       
      #2774 Travesty, Oct 31, 2007
    15. :sweat I've been quietly wondering as well.
       
      #2775 aka_spooky, Oct 31, 2007
    16. I would assume so.. the sculpting team doesn't do the casting so as long as the JD head was actually sculpted, I think you'd have no problem getting it. And I would assume the body would still be available no matter what.

      But then again, I don't know for sure! ^_^;;;;;; Just my thoughts.

    18. [31th.Oct update & News]

      Dear Friends,

      I really appreciate for your support and warmest words for me.
      My team leader apologized and asked me for forgiveness about what he did on me.
      considering for 2 days, It was his terrible mistake and he regrets what he did.
      So I've decided to forgive him.

      Therefore, the minimee service will be continued with the same team.

      By the way, for whom have been waiting for Minimee female body,I am really sorry to announce that we cancel to produce the minimee female body due to some reasons.
      (people who ordered and paid will receive the full refund and I want to send a gift for apology such as goggles)

      From now one, we will only do SD sized minimee only.

      Thank you very much for understanding in advance.

      Love and wishes,

      Denny
