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 Family H Discussion

Apr 7, 2010

    1. Took "Janus" with me to one of my recent-ish doc appointments and while waiting by the elevators we snapped this photo. I think we both managed to look pretty cute.

    2. Thinking about ordering some DF-H jointed hands since my newest doll body (56cm DF-H boy) doesn’t have any! Is anyone able to give me a rough estimate on a wait time? I’ve never ordered from this company so I’ve got no idea
       
    3. It's been awhile since I ordered anything and it was through AC. It was the body for "Janus" and I believe it took around 5/6 months to arrive?
       
    4. Thankyou! That’s really helpful to know since I was planning on ordering through AC, too.
       
    5. Happy to help, keep in mind though the order was in 2021 so things could have changed. Might want to check the waiting room thread to see if there are more current wait times.
       
    6. I was checking Doll Family-H 2022 Christmas Event, the one where there are various versions of Qing Lang, since I'm interested in getting the Body 1/3 v4 or v5 I thought it was worth checking it out; I do love the sculpt but I always wanted him in 1/4 scale, mostly because I like the concept of that one, the faceup and the outfit, he looks like out of an ancient traditional tv drama...

      Anyway, I think the only advantage of this Christmas Event is that they have the version with the open mouth that they don't sell very often, and it's quite cute, but is it worth it? he wears a pajama and doesn't say it includes the wig and I don't think he has any semblance of footwear like slippers, I don't know if I'm very thrilled about getting the fullset, and the original artist faceup is almost 100$, if I don't pick that one and I go for the 40$ one, is the other alternative faceup trashy? have you ever purchased an original faceup or the 'B alternative' with this company? was it good?

      Another thing, does anybody can pinpoint what is the color in the resin for these promo pics from the event? I know for sure the 1/4 is pink because, well, he looks really pink in the pictures, but this could be yellow right?
      Edit: Legend Doll told me is White Skin

      P.S, How often do they sell the version with his mouth open?

    7. I ordered a full doll in May through ACBJD and it took 4 months. Alice did mention that there were COVID related delays, otherwise I’m guessing it would take less time
       
    8. Thank you! That’s great timing! I’ll place an order very soon, then. :3nodding:
       
    9. Does anyone know when the next DFamily-H sale will be? right now there is one from DFamily-A but the color of the resin does not match what I have planned
       
    10. They might have a Chinese New Year sale later this month

    11. Oh thank you, I wasn't planning to purchase anything during February because of their holidays, but I will be alert if a sale opens for the Chinese New Year
       
    12. For anyone still wondering about DF-H's current wait times: about a week ago I ordered a DF-H body (through a dealer), and was told that their current wait time is about 5 months. The last DF-H order I made at the end of July took about 5 months, as well.

    13. I just had to pop in and say, I absolutely love DFH's body sculpts. Their heads are adorable, but they aren't quite my style. But the bodies are so perfect! (I have I think three hybrids planned for DFH bodies?) I'm really looking forward to joining this thread with some actual substance someday!

    14. I agree! I have two 75cm bodies I use for several 22cm heads. They all work great and the bodies pose well. I love that I can buy bodies separately.

    15. I'm thinking about getting a body from DFH for the Impldoll Sicily head that should be arriving in the coming months. The 58cm body has the neck size listed as 9.3cm while Impldoll's is 9cm. I've never hybridized a doll before so I have no idea how noticeable it would be, or work at all, so I'd like to know if anyone has already dealt with that kind of issue? Also, I'm unsure of which DFH skin color would be a close enough match for Impldoll's normal pink. Their own normal pink seems to be close but I have a hard time finding a lot of pictures of it. Thank you!
       
    16. The neck size doesn't sound too far off though it may still require a small amount of modification for the head to sit properly. If the measurements were the other way around with the head being sized for a slightly larger neck it would probably at most need sueding for the head to sit properly. You also want to check that the shoulder measurements are close to avoid it either looking bobble or pin headed.
      Of course I've never hybrided a doll so I don't really have practical knowledge as of yet and am just going by what I've read.

    17. I have hand sanded a neck hole a bit several times. Also have shortened necks by sanding. Be sure to do this only if there is no faceup. I use sandpaper that can get wet and I use water when I sand to keep particles out of the air. You may not need to do anything but just be sure to use a respirator if you need to sand.

    18. Very good point, I didn't think about that! Looks like the shoulders are pretty similar, and the DFH heads for that body are the same as the Impldoll one, based on the company measurements, so I'm inclined to think it should work, proportions-wise

      Luckily I'm used to work with 3D printed resin, so I'm ready in case it comes down to that. I might be able to get away with sanding the neck a little, 3mm seems doable.

      Worst case scenario, I'll have to find another head for the body, or sell it and find another match. I'm more concerned about finding a good color match, in any case

    19. Hi! Does anyone knows if DF-H normal yellow is similar to Volks or Crobidoll normal?
