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 177 of 201
    1. In regards to the new celebrity "rule" that may be going into place...

      What if someone wanted an 80% realism sculpt but someone else ordered one that was lower, like a "BJD" style head only inspired by a certain celebrities facial structure.

      Or what if someone wanted a sleeping head, or any other difference that was drastic enough to set it apart?

      Or am I to understand that the issue isn't about more than one order being placed for certain celebrities, but that there is a point where the labor that went into making the sculpt is paid off and any extra sold are for "profit"? Which would be why you mentioned stopping the Mini Mee Group Order service?

    3. I will regard the dreaming eyes will be a new one because it's very much different.

      But BJD styled minimee will not be refered as new one.
      I think this is fair.
      Thank you ~

    4. What about 80% realism Celebrity minimee, and someone ordered same celebrity but with vampire fangs or horns or other things. Would it be refered as a new minimee?
       
      #3524 pink_dollie, Dec 10, 2007
    5. Oh..in that case, I am not sure what to do.( let me think for a while which one is the best for me and people)

      Thanks

      Denny

    6. Hi Denny,

      Sorry I have a question too ^^
      For example: there's another person who also want to make the same character as my minimee head, then I want a recast of my minimee head.
      Will the recast head also counts as well? Thanx!

      Because I'm planning to make my minimee head a several extra recast ;_; Maybe 1 or 2

    7. LOL poor Denny.. bombarded with questions! XD;
      I think it's extremely fair to limit the amounts of sculpts of a certain celebrity.
      Not only will it help with possible legal woes, it should keep us minimee addicts more creative with our choices! XPXPXP

    8. Georgia : It will effect your order as well. So if you need, do it in this month.

      From Jan, there will be no extra head order would be possible.
      You can order extra heads when you place an order the minimee at once.

      Therefore, From Jan, celebrity like Kyo, Gackt, Miyabi, Toshiya, Cloud, etc will not be available for minimee anymore.
      (No more orders on those celebrity and character in 2008)
      Not sure about the future from 2009.

      [Shipping update]
      Some extra heads & October & Some November minimee will be shipping out on Friday.

      Thank you

      Denny

    9. Is this new rule the same for original hand drawn characters?
      Can we still order more than 10 heads of our own characters?
       
      #3529 pink_dollie, Dec 10, 2007
    10. Hi For own character or minimee based on yourself or your family,
      They are all free for recasting with your own copyright.

      Thank you

      Denny

    12. I have to say that I am kind of relieved that you are addressing this issue, Denny. I was really starting to worry about DIM and your team getting into trouble with some sort of law, which would be completely unjust since you're providing such a wonderful service!
       
      #3532 torimiko, Dec 10, 2007
    13. So group orders will still be allowed, but only 1 set for each celebrity requested?

      I'm trying to get people together for a group order, but I don't think we will have enough people by the end of the year so I'm concerned.

    14. Denny I just sent you an email regarding the extra heads
       
      #3534 georgia, Dec 10, 2007
    15. Regardless of Group order or individual orders, minimee head will be produced only 10 pcs.
      For example, if a character is ordered as group order of 10pcs, then this will be gone. No extra heads & minimee order will be allowed.

      If a person orders a charactger and orders several extra heads(say..5) at the same time, then the remaining heads of the character will be 3 only in 2008.
      Not sure about 2009 yet(as I am not sure if this will be continued)


      To Georgia : Replied you ^^

      Thank you

      Denny

    16. Would it be possible to start that in February? I know a lot of people are waiting until after the holidays to spend money on themselves and their own dolls.

      #3539 meeve, Dec 10, 2007
    20. Denny-
      I think that is a wonderful idea. Also protects you and your company -- and makes the heads all that more special. ^_^
