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.

    8. Wooowww! That's awesome, Evildolly!

      I finally finished faceing-up my doll as well, and I put her on my Limhwa half-elf's body for photos and I'm amazed to say the resin is a perfect match in color! There is obviously a luminoscity difference, since Limhwa uses french-resin, but the color is spot on!

    10. Hey I was just wondering... you guys who've received your heads already. What's the resin surface like? Smooth or matte, and is it sanded nicely, or are there like rough patches?

      ...because my heads are shiny in some places, matte in others, the surface is a little uneven and there are lots of surface scratches all over. Don't get me wrong, I love them to bits and it's not very extreme, nothing I can't even out myself I suppose, but I was just surprised because I've never received a doll with that sort of surface before o.O

    11. Dennis, when do you think the rest of the heads from the April order will be shipped out? I'm going away for a week on the 17th of June and I won't be home to receive my heads.

    12. hi ^^
      each minimee has a little different conditions.
      As I informed in advance, this minimee is done in a short period and it's not as good quality as the commercial bjds.(They are taken much longer and the surface needs to be cared so much. that's why each BJD manufacturer can't produce many models every month.)
      Also the cost of making one original sculpt cost more than thousands dollars in average as far as I'm concerned.
      With that price range, we can't take longer works to make much better quality, otherwise, the minimee price needs to be higher.
      Anyway, the qualtity of the minimee is gradually upgraded.

      I hope you understand it.

      thanks

      Denny

    13. Today, I sent the rest of preview photos to owners.(except a coulple of customers)
      Once I get confirmation from the customers, we will start making molds and it will take some time.
      But I think you can get your minimee in time if you get your preview photos already and confirmed.
       
      #753 Denny Kim, May 25, 2007
    14. I already approved my minimee 2 weeks ago, I believe you said the head is already being cast? I am Aimee Chow, the one who keeps bothering you. Hehe. Thanks again, Dennis.
       
      #754 Humbug, May 25, 2007
    15. Hi Aimee Chow,

      Your minimee will be here in next week. ^^
      I will ship them out as soon as possible.
      thanks for waiting.
      Denny

    18. Aww, Deanna he is beautiful... and he will go so well with the redhead;)
       
      #758 twigling, May 25, 2007
    19. These are seriously amazing. A little eerie, the idea of having a miniature of myself. . . but also very intriguing for some reason? :D

      I'm in awe. I'd love to see more photo comparisons from customers. :D

    20. I got mine too! He's wonderful, though I have asked for the eyes to be made smaller:
