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.

Doll database?

Sep 28, 2014

    1. I am in the lolita hobby and we have 2 (lolibrary and hellolace) comprehensive databases of clothes and their original prices and tags for each items. I know we have a wiki but it's not super detailed and accessible. Are there any databases like this for dolls and if there aren't I would love to start a project to make one.
       
    2. There are wiki's buried deep within the bowels of this site. you just need to believe in yourself to find them.
       
    3. I mean i've explored the wiki thats linked at the top. It's ok but I'd love to have individual pages for each sculpt and categorization by things like brand, fantasy, and realistic for example. It just hard to find that exact sculpt for a doll and weigh your options when all the info isn't in one place.
       
    4. There is a database. It's called BJD Database. Is that what you're looking for?

      eta: The wiki is open for anyone to edit. If you want to add details about pricing and options included with whatever doll, you can go ahead.
       
    5. I kinda agree the wiki and database aren't as user friendly as I'm used to. I mean, I DO find the answers I'm looking for, kinda... sometimes, but it's a search of different areas of the forum- sometimes it's found in the "Doll Discussion" by size, or it's in the wiki, OR it is in the database. But it's a hunt and when I'm trying to figure out a resin match, a shoe size, or something else that isn't readily plastered to the company site, it's a pain.

      [MENTION=66097]Terrasplorer[/MENTION], I'd be really interested in putting together a site with a real compendium of information. It would take a lot of sleuthing, pulling from dozens of different sources and asking doll owners to help with pics and whatnot. But I'm game if you're game. I don't mind building and updating the site- I even already have a .com for it... and was just super excited to run across this thread (loooooking for information actually, lol). Shoot me a PM if you wanna chat about ideas sometime!
       
    6. I would gladly coordinate this with you!
       
    7. Is it strange I look for the "like" button for your reply, Terrasplorer? I'm so FB trained, it isn't even funny, lol. =)

      Just checked out "Hello Lace". YES, we need THIS for Dolls.
