DoD Horror stories?

Well during their previous Valentines event, my sister and I got two of the dolls.

When they arrived they looked fine and stuff, I didn't play with my twing-key instantly I let her stay in the bag. About a week later when I was taking her head off so I could give it a faceup it practically flew off cause the resin in the neck was thin making the the S-hook ripped through it. That caused the neck to have chip/ larger opening in the head.

When I contacted them about it, they kept trying to refer me to how to disassemble and to reassemble a body. I tried to get the point across to them about 4 times that I knew how to take a body apart and how to put it together, even sending them photos of the damage done due to the thin resin. After all that I just gave up since they weren't going to do anything about it and were trying to not understand intentionally.



Now the older DOD they have nice resin, etc. I love my lil Too. 33

 

I was a bit worried about this, as I am SO afraid of trying to finish my dolls when they get here for fear of messing them up somehow.

Do you have photographs to show this yellowing, by chance? Or, perhaps even just your own personal recommendation on if DoD dolls should or should not be finished? I was going to leave mine unfinished, but I suppose it all really depends on just how much of a color difference we're talking about. D= I assume your doll isn't bad at all? Will they yellow even more over time?

I'm sorry for so many questions, I'm a newbie trying to figure all of this stuff out before my dolls get here. XD;

 

Mine is over one year old, it is definitely NOT uber yellow. It is a nice not too pink skin color still very pale.

Here, the head is from Jan 08 batch and the body (look at the hands/arm) are from April 07. The color matches and the body is definitely not yellow. The body has been out in the sun 4 times in the past year (each time about 20 min tops)

 

Thank you for your reply. ^^ You're certainly right, he doesn't look yellowed at all.

I will have to seek out a thread for this subject to research it further, I don't want to go off topic for too long in someone else's thread. XD Thanks again!

 

I think DoDs yellow pretty elegantly, to a more natural color if you ask me. :];

Here my Camine's hand is (from 2006) compared to this year's DoD pink resin.

 

I have three DoD dolls, and i have to say I'm very happy with them in terms of posing and quality. One of them has a custom face up and the other two their default one (although on lip the gloss is chipped by an honest mistake of my own).

However when I received my MNF from luts I was surprised at how much lighter my Shiwoo is compared to my Petsha. And also the resin of the Shiwoo was at the ears quite thin. Although I love the mold I still liked the quality of my DoD dolls a bit better on that specific they look more sturdy.

The weird thing however is that one of the dolls is owned by my mom. That doll stands in the living room. She is more out and about than my own dolls but for some strange reason instead of turning yellow as you would expect the resin gets a more pinkish hue to it.

Also at a point I had an issue with an order which was solved very correctly and quickly by the people of DoD.
