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.

    1. To me the whole concept sounds like a great idea! I'm sure it'll be popular. For example my boyfriend always tells that he wants a BJD that looks like me :sweat So I'm subscribing here too. I'd really like to see what this idea can be developed into. Good luck to you!

    2. I'm curious how much it is costing them:sweat
       
      #142 cheshiretiffy, Jan 10, 2007
    3. I must agree that this is a really interesting idea. I'm not sure if I would necessarily want a BJD of myself... Maybe one that was kinda based on me? It might be a little weird to have a doll look exactly like me. I would feel like I'm being replaced! XD;; I'll definitely be checking back on this thread though. I'm really interested to see how this turns out. :)

    4. Thank you so much LKJ, How kind of you. your comments gives me so much courage. ^^ I am a very simple guy ~ haha.
      Tiffany and I are both good and understood misunderstanding.So it's clear ~

      The sample will be done next week and I guess at the end of Jan, it will be done.

      Thank you alll guys~ I appreciate it very much.

      Also I am making accessories like Phone & Camera. I saw many people want to have this kind of accessories so...I am making some sample and I will show you when they are out.

      Good day ~!

    5. Phones sound great!

      You're right, people do want them. Myself included.
       
      #145 Alchemical, Jan 11, 2007
    6. Oh, fantastic, a camera! Looking forward to seeing that.

    7. I think one of those Minimees might be nice to have as an avatar of yourself in your dollie world. So you can interact with your dolls more on their level, if you want to.

    8. The samples look great so far, I can't wait to see more.
      Don't give up Denny, this is an awsome project. :D

    9. @o@~~! <33 This is soooo neat! I'm definately interested in one. <33
       
      #149 Moo, Jan 11, 2007
    10. Oh, whenever you start your 60cm line I would love to have a head based off of my own. The more realistic the better. I do not like stylized or anime style heads all that much. :D I would love the price for the head to be lower than 1000 United States Dollars. But that's not fair to you. It would probably be closer to 1,500 because of my impossible skintone.
       
      #150 Damask, Jan 11, 2007
    11. I'm still waiting to find out how much the minis are going to cost. Denny said its costing a LOT more than he expected. I hope the final price doesn't make all of the people saying they're interested run away screaming with their hands in the air.

      I want a matching doll of my boyfriend when its all ready to go, but only if I can afford it.
       
      #151 cheshiretiffy, Jan 11, 2007
    12. I absolutely want one, no matter what the price is. This is just too cool! O.O
       
      #152 HF, Jan 11, 2007
    13. Brilliant idea. XDD You could torture your BJD as one of them!
       
      #153 Llyradh, Jan 11, 2007
    14. If the cost is more then they expected, it might be an idea to offer the head only? That might be a cheaper alternative to people who are interested, but can't afford the full doll.
       
      #154 kokoryta, Jan 11, 2007
    15. Its come up in our emails. Maybe with a resin bust? That might be a good idea, and less expensive than a body.

      It would make a great display, too.
       
      #155 cheshiretiffy, Jan 11, 2007
    16. Hi ^^

      About the price. People are wondering about the price so here is my thought.

      Yes..it's quite expensive.
      Generally, normal sculpt work like one head is around several thousands dollar. Depends on how good is the sculptor.
      This is just normal price in this field.
      with body is not quite expensive, it's pricy becuase this is quite hard work for sculptors.
      So at this moment, I am making price like 600$ for two types of heads.
      This is my best price so..I am not sure what people will think.
      And customers can choose between BJD Style & Realistic style.
      BJD style : 40-50&#37; of your face
      Realistic Style : 70-80% of your face

      [includings]
      *Choice for MSD size or SD size
      *Skin color : White pinky color(similar to D.I.M Skin)
      If you want specific skin color of you : Additional charge(Not sure the cost)
      Maybe we will not take personal skin color as this is quite hard work to make each color.
      *Two heads (Open eyes Minimee head& Sleeping eyes Minimee head)
      *Make up for one head
      *additional head option : add 70$ per each head
      *Shipping cost : Depends on how many heads.
      *Period of making : at least 40 to 50days
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      [Important] No permisstion to reproduce this head for commertial use(Sale)
      If someone wants to have this head for commertial use(BJD Production)
      the price is thousands dollars. inquiry : [email protected]
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------

      for the launching event, I'm thinking to give Camera or Phone for Doll's accessory.(We are making one...so I am not sure if people like that)

      I will take only 30 numbers limited.

      And for this 30 customers, I will offer 10% discount of new D.I.M doll body.
      (New body will be taken several months as we just started)

      If I don't get 30 numbers ? Well.....I need to cancel whole project.

      order start : after finishing this sample.(It's coming out next week and make up takes a week) so..I guess end of Jan. I will take orders only 30pcs.

      Thank you for all your comments and wish me luck.

      Denny

    17. WOW. I hope that with the regular dolls you make, that you make enough to make it worth while.

      I think the prices you've quoted are fair. There is a lot of time and extra work for this project.

      I hope you can get the 30 orders! I will have to wait until the next order period but I do want one of Harris when I can.
       
      #157 cheshiretiffy, Jan 12, 2007
    18. I think the pricing is very fair. I plan to make a doll of my alter ego, as it were, and it would be much easier to accomplish that with a head that looked like mine O_o! But, I told myself I couldn't get that doll until I graduate from college...thus...no time soon. Still, it's a fabulously unique idea!
       
      #158 Ronin Rabbit, Jan 12, 2007
    19. I think the pricing is fair, since it will be truly a one of a kind doll! :) Best of luck denny, i'm sure you'll get the first orders. ^^
       
      #159 PrincessAI436, Jan 12, 2007
    20. Phones and cameras seem like they would be good ideas. Because BJD-scale things are always hard to find.

      I'd just like to add my opinion that I think the price is very fair as well, considering that it's 2 heads, plus I'm sure it's a lot of work to do everything customized. I look forward to seeing your sample! And though I'm unable to join in the first 30 orders, I really do hope that you can fill them because I think that one day, when I can, I would really like one! Best of luck from me to you as well. :)
