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.

Do you like the smell of resin?

Jul 19, 2014

    1. I don't mind the smell of resin. All my dolls reside in a closed cabinet so when I open it, it can smell quite strongly for a moment, but it doesn't last long. I think I've become indifferent to the smell over time lol
       
    2. I love the smell of resin in the morning; it smells like victory!

      ...and resin. Yup! Victorious resininess of victory!

    3. I like the smell of resin! And given how most of my dolls have been made 5+ years ago, it's also not very strong whenever I open boxes (there is a bigger whiff coming from the one new body, though) so it doesn't linger around for long.

      What I don't like is when the doll/box has been perfumed, though. I prefer neutral smells so heavy sweet scents make me gag a little + they are very hard to air out. I really wish the few companies that did this also disclosed it on their website *_*

    4. Generally, yes! There have been a few times that it's been too overpowering and I had to let a doll air out in the spare bedroom for a couple days...but usually it's a nice smell associated with box opening joy so I like it. :) I will say that since covid my sense of smell has all but died (and 4 years later not returned to how it was) and resin sadly doesn't smell quite the same to me anymore...if I smell it at all. And I kind of miss it. :(
