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.

    2. In looking for J Baek's Flickr (which I didn't find) I came across the new girl's pics on his blog. (Go to his website and click on the "b" in the green circle right under Order Tracking.) The close-up of her face reminded me of JID Benny, which is one of the sculpts he did for Iplehouse. I don't read Korean, but I did see the words "coming soon" above her photos. I don't see her name, only DKD Girl.

    4. Thanks a bunch, Musume!:hug:

      Now if only J Baek would give a release date. I really want Somi, but first I need to get together enough money to buy her. I wonder how much the tan skin will add to her cost?

    5. Hi all~ I'm new to the thread. Nice to meet everyone!

      I'm certain I'm not the only one to have fallen for Somi. I always said I'd never add any MSDs to my crew, but I think she's a must. Mr. J Baek just added 2 new pictures of Somi to his flickr. She's incredibly cute!

    6. She truly is gorgeous---I love seeing her with a face-up. Thank you for sharing this photo!

    7. It's beginning to look like he's ready to release her, doesn't it? Maybe July 1st? If so, it's an odd time to debut a tan skin doll. Some companies are withdrawing their tan skins for the summer months because high heat and humidity don't favor production of tan resin.

    8. Oh darn, J. Baek uploaded a whole Somi folder on flickr, and she is officially up on the Dollits website. She is absolutely gorgeous, both in tan & normal skin. I don't know what to do since I don't collect MSDs. Should I get her anyway? Her promo faceup is lovely, too.

      @vermont chick Oh that's curious! I heard about tan skin dolls being easily affected by the climate... I believe Dollits is being casted by Iplehouse, though. How do they usually fare in the Summer when it comes to producing tan dolls? I hope the tan skin is not postponed (although I can't even decide if I'd get her in tan or normal skin :sweat She's just so darn cute in both!)

    9. @Dayme - I didn't know that Iplehouse was casting J Baek's dolls. It should be okay, then. Iplehouse doesn't cast ebony in the summer, but I'm pretty sure it continues with the other colors.

      Even if you don't collect mini size dolls, if you love her I think you should get her. She's calling to you for a reason.:thumbup

      Wouldn't you know, the one morning I don't check Dollits before coming here is the morning he posts the new doll on his site.:lol:

    10. Somi is so lovely! :D It looks like Mr Baek is finding his feet at last. I wish I was still hunting for MSDs, but my sewing skills for this size are really bad. I didn't know Iplehouse was casting his dolls. That's fantastic!

    11. Ohh I saw the new thread about Somi on the news forum! :) So glad about her release. I agree with you @Lilla, he's really found his own unique style and I feel so proud of him, I want to support his work so much. :whee:

      I'm not 100% certain about Iplehouse casting Dollits, but I read on J. Baek's blog that he's an ex-sculptor for Iplehouse (and that's why the EID and JID heads are swapable on the Dollits DAD body) as well as DIM Dolls. He seems to be quite the experienced sculptor and it shows in his latest releases!

    12. Did anyone notice that only 6 Somi will be cast in tan? I wonder if the tan skin is an experiment on his part? The white and normal seem to be unlimited.

      I'm not sure how I feel about the completed doll. Her sculpt has a very young look compared to her mature body. I may be swinging back towards Miso.

    13. Is regular Somi time limited? I was planning on getting just her head, but I dont see that option...
       
      #53 Cydril, Jun 29, 2016
    14. I don't see any time limitation. The only limit is tan skin, and even that listing has the comment: "It can be sold again." It could be that he intends to sell the head by itself eventually but hasn't listed it yet. The only way to know for sure is to ask him.

    15. The "it can be sold again" is really good news for me. Sadly, Canada Post (the only delivery option that covers EMS shipping in my part of Canada) is having a strike throughout the month of July, which means I can't order anything from abroad for the next few weeks. It's a good thing in a way, since I'll be saving up! haha But I'm definitely adding Somi to my wishlist and hope to get her later this year; maybe in the Fall.
      Anyone thinking of ordering pretty Somi?

    16. That sucks about the postal strike @Dayme ! At least you dont have anything incoming thats going to get stuck.

      I changed my mind and ordered tan Somi:sweat I agree with Vermont Chick that the face is a little immature for the body, but Im hoping the right faceup can fix it a bit.

    17. Uh, so, its only been a week but I looked at the Dollits site this morning and it says my Somi is on shipping?! :aeyepop:
      He must have had some ready to go!

    18. Wow that's fast! Congrats! Spam us with pictures when she arrives :D
       
      #58 hannaliten, Jul 7, 2016
    19. Oh gosh @Cydril, congrats! :D Please post tons of pictures when she arrives! Did you get her blank or with faceup?
       
      #59 Dayme, Jul 7, 2016
    20. Congrats @Cydril - That's the fastest turnaround time ever! I can't wait to see what you do for a faceup. Pics, please!
