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 Factory - Senior Ari discussion

Feb 1, 2013

    1. I was wondering, is there any Doll Factory - Senior Ari discussion thread somewhere?

      I have not been able to find one. So I`ll make this the thread it that`s ok.

      But if there is already a discussion thread for the Senior Aris, please point me in the right direction thanks :blush


      I am going to order this lovely girl http://edollfactory.com/shop/step1.php?number=722 as soon as I am able to.

      I really was amazed by how beautiful she is. I looked around at the other Ari human dolls to. And I`m impressed by how beautiful they are.


      They definitely should have a discussion thread of they`re own to:)

    4. Hi manabusama! I arrive to your Thread, becuse i was looking for ones who could speak about Senior-Ari Lachlan, and i found none. He was the one i like the most from Doll Factory. And i hope can buy him soon. I think he is so charming! Lovely face and a great body too. Have a look! :D http://edollfactory.com/shop/step1.php?number=744&b_code=B20110801092939

    5. I purchased a Senior-Ari boy body early this year and I'm very happy with it. The pose-ability is excellent and the quality too! I think it is comparable with Volks (and I'm very picky with resin quality and body pose-ability).

      I'm surprised there are no more comments about Doll Factory dolls, they are all very beautiful.

    6. Reviving this thread up!

      I just randomly went to Doll Factory website again after such a long time, and was pleasantly surprised to see their Senior Ari line, I love their faces! Especially the tanned Sophie, she might be perfect for a character I have in mind! :D

      manabusama, did you ever get your tanned Sophie? I'd love to see owner pictures of this lovely lady :)

      To others out there, anyone owns any Senior Ari girls? Or perhaps just the body? Opinions on the quality and posability of the body will be awesome ^^

      Edit: just found this awesome set of tanned Sophie on Flickr ;)
      aaaaaaaand another set from the same owner xD

    7. I was eying these dolls for a long time. The body is absolutely stunning - I love the proportions, forms, lines, joints, everything. My hesitation is about the sculpts. To me they look a bit similar to Peak's Woods and I had PW Goldie with which I knew I won't bond as soon as I opened the box. I'll keep thinking about them for now. But personally I think they are underrepresented here on DOA. :)

      lileychristie, thanks for great links to Sophie! It is my favorite Doll Factory sculpt. And the doll looks AMAZINGLY natural!

    8. Yeah they are really under presented here in DoA, I've never seen any Senior Ari girl here in DoA >__<

      I wonder if the owner of the tan Sophie in Flickr is on DoA as well... I might drop her/him a message in Flickr ^^

    10. Dear Isolate, thank you so much for the comparison! Beautiful body! Nice posing, sitting pretty, joints don't go out of the sockets.

      Did you do anything to improve poseability?

      I think in case if I won't like the sculpt I'll hybridize the body with one of the many floating heads I have.

    12. Tati I didn't do anything, opening box and pose at that time.

      lileychristie She's Dreaming Half elf Limhwa Doll white skin. Color not match, Limhwa Doll's white skin 2010 is yellow-ivory skin and Dollfactory's white skin 2013 is very very white, the company tell me both color white and normal match Volk.

      I hope it is useful. :D

    13. Thanks for the info, Isolate! May I ask what is the other girl body that is next to your Senior Ari body in this picture?

    14. lileychristie It's Mirodoll 1/3 girl body hybrid Elfdoll hands.

    15. I just got my Senior Ari Yeon last month and I am extremely pleased with him. His resin looks great, the color is better than I imagined it would be and his seam lines are almost non existent. ^_^ He is my first SD boy, and my first bjd from Doll Factory...and definitely not my last. ^^ I'm planning on getting two of their girls in the next few years...

    16. That's great to know! I am considering a Doll Factory Senior Ari versus a Switch body, but I can't decide which would go better with the Volks NS resin. How well does Doll Factory match Volks, in your experience?

    17. hello [^^ i have a question, hope someone can help me

    18. I was just about to check out their site again but the DollFactory site is nowhere to be found anymore. It's no longer listed on BJD Collectasy either. Do anybody know what have happened to DollFactory?
