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.

Dec 26, 2006

    2. Hurray! Thank you for the picture, Denny!
       
    3. thanks denny!!! that means i can get my girl's bodies to match the resin!!!! yay!!!!
       
    4. Oooo!! Thanks Denny! I can't wait for Baios!! <3
       
    5. looks great!
       
    6. Ohh, I'm so happy to see the resin color now Denny! Thank you so much.

      I know I said I was going to wait until after seeing the resin before I ordered my Minimee, but I obviously did not wait that long, but I'm very glad to see the color!

      Now I need to start figuring out what body will work. Humm... not many bodies around that have the "look" I need. This might be tricky. :sweat
       
    7. Hi Denny :)
      Thank you so much for taking the photo of the resin colour! :D
      And uumm..is the colour more yellowish or creamish?
      Oh and Denny I hope you don't me asking this again ^_^ I need to know the specific size of the new Minimee head. Is it gonna be 8 or 9 inch?

      Thank you for your help! m (_ _) m
       
    8. LOL yes I am XD
      But this is just sooo...addictive >w<


      haha yes my own MNM army, that would be cool! Gahh need to work harder and earn more money XD
      I still have some heads on my MNM wishlist, so maybe if I have everything I need for my boys now and if DIM still has this project, I'll order them as well ^_^
       
    9. Thank you so much for taking the photo of the resin colour! :D

      I can say..it's more like creamish.
      Re : Size
      I cannot say exactly as all minimees are custom works.
      It's fit with DIM body and it is about the DIM head size or a little bit bigger.
      It depends on individual minimee.
       
    10. Denny: Ohhh, that resin tone is great! Kyo has quite yellow skin in real life, so that colour looks great! Also.. *___* I'm so happy he'll be on a DIM body~~ *loves how they're sculpted*

      -cain-: I looked everywhere for Kyo dolls for a long time, but it seems that it's only after I ordered my MNM of him that I've found other people's! That'd be really cuuute! >w< I like the idea of MSD Kyo.. XD So short~~

      KeikoChan: ;D Hehehe~ And I love A Clockwork Orange ^o^ It's freaky, but great XD

      Sabrielle: You're bonkers, but it's brilliant XD *hug* Let me know as soon as your preview shots of Die and Toshiya come through!!
       
    11. I asked for mine to be in the 8-9 size range, because I know there can be some variance because it is custom work, but I did not want it any smaller then 8, or larger then 9.

      I don't know if that helps you or not!
       
    12. Kazzii: YES. MSD Kyo all the way!

      Edit: Anyone know how much longer Minimees will be offered?
       
    13. It's been up in the air since the beginning. Denny started offering them as an experiment. It takes alot of time and effort to make them, and I'm sure it takes alot/some of Denny's Sculpters away from other things. Honestly, no one really knows. The DIM site says:

      Q] Do you think I can order later this year? Will you be doing the project ?
      A] Honestly, I don't know. Because of the modification and too high expectation, this really pressures on the sculptors. So this project can be stopped at any time.
       
    14. I have a question-- say two people order the same celebrity head in two unrelated separate orders--supplying totally different reference pictures (for instance, super pretty pictures as opposed to candid pix, or older pix compared to younger ones etc--point being there's a bit of a discrepancy, but it's still the same person). Do they actually sculpt two totally different heads? Or use the same mold since it's the same celebrity?

      Also--in these new orders going on (since there seems to be a bunch of group orders atm) are the heads still of the larger variety? Or has there been some success in shrinking them down to more standard BJD size for body compatibility? (Sorry if this was addressed earlier--I'm having a panic about joining a group order rather than ordering the minimee I've been planning . . . :/)
       
    15. Lachlana: I believe the heads are smaller now, to match the DIM boy bodies, which are being offered as minimee bodies right now. I don't know if it still varies between the batches that are on the go, though.

      And as for the celebrity head question, I'm pretty sure they'd sculpt different heads. After all, these are meant to be 2-of-a-kind releases, so they'd have to ask the customers' permission to send out 4 of the same head. Also, the photos would have a lot of do with it. I'm pretty sure if someone else ordered the head I have, they'd get a different doll, simply because I've asked mine to have an open mouth and certain expression, and most photos of that celeb don't look that way :3
       
    16. I love the look fo the resin of the head and torso example. All I have are CP BW, so they'll be something totally different!
       
    17. Kazzii : Thank you so much for your kind explanation instead of me. I appreciate it ^^ Kazii is right ! ^^ As this is a handwork so every minimee is different although they are same person to be made.
      And more, as Kazzii mentioned, a customer has his/her own request about minimee so that makes something different.

      Oracle12 : Thank you for explanation ^^ yes, we are not sure how long we can do this service.
      I hope to keep this minimee service longer.

      Sterling : Sorry that I am not helping that much. we don't take custom sized head even though the head size is about DIM head size.
      we can't offer the exact size as every time the minimee can be a little bit different on its size.
      But after we've had some experiences, not too big or not too small. I can guarantee on this.

      Thanks

      Denny
      Thanks
       
    18. Ohh, I do understand Denny! Thats why I did not give a specific size I wanted, rather something in the 8-9 size. Hopefully that is ok. I know with work like what you are doing with this project, each and every head will be different, which is what makes them so special!
       
    19. Kazzii & Denny - Thank you so much for the quick response! I really appreciate it! I'm planning two different minimees, so this really helps alot to know each order is individual :)
       
    20. Is anyone else as ridiculously excited about ordering their Minime as I am? I'm already planning my second one! She will be a celebrity minimee though, unlike the one I just ordered. I hope this project is around for quite some time!
