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.

Dollmore Judith Girls discussion part 1

    1. @Kielin, A Suntan Amaranth! Lucky you! She's sold out on Dollmore so you must have found her on the Marketplace. I can't believe you're up to 6 Judiths--I'm waiting for my first. I like all 3 of the names on your list. Any one of them would work for her. I haven't come up with a name for my Bitter Biscuit, but I figure I have a few weeks to think about it before she arrives.

      @Affinite, Ah yes, I see the birdcage shape in the second photo. I'm surprised you have breeding mosquitoes if you don't have standing water. That's their favorite breeding habitat. :shudder All I have to worry about in my backyard is a garden snake and bees. Lots and lots of bees.

    2. Yeah, she sold out so fast when she came out (trust me, I was stalking that site). I got her on eBay, she's new in all the packaging and they had the whole fullset and all the Dollmore paperwork, so I'm not super worried about a recast (like sometimes happens on eBay), and I asked them for extra pictures to examine her so hopefully there will be no issues.

      I like this site: http://www.thinkbabynames.com/
      I go on and just surf for a few hours every few months and write down every name I like. Then when I have a new doll coming or make a new character I have a list of names I already like.
      Sometimes none of the names work, but I have like 30 dolls and that's only happened to me twice. (One I named after the middle name of my best friend, and the other I had all my nieces give name suggestions and I picked from their ideas)

    3. Thanks for the link to the baby names website. I looked and a name I had been considering was right there complete with pronunciation and meaning. My usual go-to source is The Writer's Digest Character Naming Sourcebook by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It's an oldie from 1994, doesn't give pronunciation and often fails me. I'd love to use Asian names sometimes but they are nowhere to be found in the 1st edition. There is a 2nd edition from 2010 that does include Asian names--I should probably get it, if only to understand what a doll's sculpt name means.

    4. You are quite welcome.
      You can search anything on there, but you can also look by origin. It's kind of hard to find the link in the block of text so I snagged it for you.
      http://www.thinkbabynames.com/origin/1
      Then at the top you can switch between boy and girl names, then pick any of the origins you want.
      I usually get a lot of mine out of the French or Greek sections, but it depends.

      That's kind of neat though, I don't usually pay much attention to the sculpt names.
      I'm usually like "Gimmie *grabby hands*". especially with the Judiths.

      I was talking to a friend about my new purchase and I said, I put my forum tag as "DM Judith Addict" when I first got Aubreigh (and she was my first doll) and I haven't changed it since. And it keeps getting more true. D8

    5. I like to use Irish and Gaelic names--the only trouble is I rarely know how to pronounce them.:lol:

      I started paying more attention to sculpt names when I'd see the same names on different Korean websites. Like Soa and Soah. Same name, different spellings? Or entirely different names?

      Can't wait to try out the origin link. It's nice to have that mode of access. The book I mentioned above is organized that way, with a general alphabetic index at the back.

    6. Has anyone actually ordered Arasa Blue? I'd love to see some IRL pics. I am so tempted to buy her myself. Love her Russian aesthetic.
       
      #606 kim_peanut, Jun 8, 2015
    7. I am tempted by her myself and for the same reason. Still thinking about her. In the meantime, I have ordered Pirouette, the KID ballerina with the Zinna head and hands. Would love to see more photos of any of the Judith girl sculpts.
       
      #607 vermont chick, Jun 8, 2015
    8. @vermont chick

      Oooh! Pirouette is lovely! I just went to the Dollmore site to check her out. I didn't even know that Dollmore was using Judith heads in other doll lines (apart from the Tara mermaids).
       
      #608 kim_peanut, Jun 8, 2015
    9. I know, right? It pays to look at the other lines. I was interested in a ballerina, and there was Zinna! I love the faceup they gave her. She's the second Zinna in that line--the first one sold out. I wonder if they'll do a Tara?

    11. Cute photos! Lucky doll. I've never been to Disneyland.
       
      #611 vermont chick, Jun 14, 2015
    12. Thanks. :) It was fun.

      Whaaat?! You should totally go, it's a ton of fun.
       
      #612 Kielin, Jun 14, 2015
    13. Wow these dolls are stunning! I love the Mature feeling they have about them. *thumbs up*
      Will add them to potential want list
      *stares at the never-ending scroll of paper* ><

    14. It's been 10 days--let's wake up this thread!

      Has anyone seen the new Suntan Zinna Maxima? Limited Edition of 10. (Why not 30 like the last Suntan?) The outfit does absolutely nothing for me, but the faceup is gorgeous. Something tells me, though, that I should wait for my first Judith Girl to arrive before I go ordering another. How quickly do the Suntan girls sell out, does anyone have an idea?
       
      #614 vermont chick, Jun 25, 2015
    15. The first one sold out hella fast. Thus why I had to buy her secondhand.
       
      #615 Kielin, Jun 26, 2015
    16. I was afraid of that. I was about to hit the buy button, then found out Iplehouse is having a Summer sale starting Monday. I'm screwed.

      By the way, Dollmore listed a second version of the Suntan Maxima. This one is Silver, the first one was Black. The only difference I can see is the wig color and style.

      I have absolutely no self-control. I ordered the Black version last night. My PayPal account now has $7.99 in it. No more dolls for a while.

    17. I have fallen in love with the new Zinna Suntan Maxima Silver :love I got an email about her and couldn't click on the link soon enough! I'm such a sucker for dolls with teeth, and lately have been falling for the darker skins :D But I've never gotten a doll from this company. What does everyone say on the poseability of the bodies?
       
      #617 Tora Youkai, Jun 30, 2015
    18. I'm still waiting for my first Zinna to arrive, but from what I can see of her promo photos she looks very poseable. None of my existing dolls can get into poses like she appears to do.
       
      #618 vermont chick, Jul 1, 2015
    19. Woop, I've ordered the new suntan Zinna. I'm very excited to receive her full set! (Went with a different wig from them though, wasn't feeling the fullset ones.)

      Dollmore has such cute accessories too. Couldn't help myself to get some cute jewelry, teddybears and undies :3
       
      #619 Marlou, Jul 6, 2015
    20. Goodness I can't stop staring at the new suntan girls! The photos make them look much darker than my own suntan Zinna. If she were really that dark I'd have to buy a second one lol. I asked Dollmore if their suntan skin has changed since they made the Amaranth version but they gave me the generic "resin color may change based on production dates" answer and so I still have no idea. Who's ordering her?
