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. We were gone all day, but my Zinna Piroette head arrived and I got to play with it a bit. I didn't take into consideration that the neck hole would be completely different from the FMD head. First - it's much larger! Second, am I correct that the resin loop in the head cap is to hold one end of the S-hook (the way older heads were made)? Could someone provide a photo or two to show me how it works? I'll have to get a S-hook to fit - the one for the FMD head is much too small.

      Oh, and I'll take photos tomorrow when I'm more awake..... :yawn

    3. Congrats!

      Yeah, it's to hold the s-hook. But you don't really need it with the magnets, and it can cause cracking or breaking, so I don't use it.

    4. That's good to know - I thought it was an odd mix.

    5. It worked! I'll probably get a new faceup for the Zinna, but here are some comparison photos of the Zinna Pirouette head on the FMD body next to my IP JID boy. Granted, she's on a stand in the full body shot, but my main focus was that her head looked in proportion to her body and worked with my boy. (BTW, that is not her wig, but it's the only 6/7 I had left so I'll be looking for a new wig now.)

    6. Does look good! I'd probably shorten the neck a bit, it looks a little long, but she's super pretty.
       
      #646 Kielin, Jul 17, 2015
    7. I like the Zinna head on that body, Kirahfaye. Agree with Kielin that the neck is a bit long. She looks so petite and dainty.

      Meanwhile, I am still waiting for my first Zinna to arrive. Whatever gave me the impression that Dollmore orders were quick to ship?

    8. The neck is a bit long, but to be honest, the FMD head sits right on top of that neck and it's a 4/5 size. :|
       
      #648 Kirahfaye, Jul 18, 2015
    9. I think she looks great! It's really nice to Zinna on such a delicate body... I think this head is so versatile!
       
      #649 Lochness, Jul 18, 2015
    10. I'm glad she works also - and hope that my 2 year/5 doll head search is finally over.... Her head is about the same size as a MNF and several MNF heads can look good with the even smaller ChicLine body, so I had high hopes. And I'm thrilled I was able to find her on DOA and not have to wait several weeks longer to get her through Dollmore.

    11. Usually like 2-4 months. Unless it was around December, then they take longer.
       
      #651 Kielin, Jul 19, 2015
    12. Thanks, Kielin. I couldn't tell from the waiting room, which doesn't seem to get much activity, so I was going by Dollmore's statement: "In general, It takes 30 business days to make after receiving full payment." Obviously they are seriously underestimating production time. Guess I can stop checking my order status every day.
       
      #652 vermont chick, Jul 19, 2015
    13. Egh really? Why do they say 30 days then >_< good to know at least! Will know not to worry.
       
      #653 Marlou, Jul 19, 2015
    14. Really? Most of you have waited this long? My orders usually have taken right around 30 days, how strange. I only have three Dollmore dolls and only two of them were ordered direct, but both times I got my shipping notice really close to 30 days.

    15. I'm already at day 36 for my first girl, not counting weekends and holidays. Browsing other Dollmore threads, it seems some people get their dolls faster than that--sometimes in only a week or two. I wonder if some dolls are already cast and just waiting for a faceup before they're ready to go?

      I have exactly 4 weeks until my next doll meet-up, and I want to bring at least one Judith with me. A Judith and a Ballet Kid would be even better.:)
       
      #655 vermont chick, Jul 20, 2015
    16. Have you asked Dollmore about it? I have found they are very helpful when asking about the status of an order.
       
      #656 Affinite, Jul 20, 2015
    17. I'm not familiar with Dollmore wait times, however my doll took almost exactly 2 months before it was shipped to me from DDE.
       
      #657 Kirahfaye, Jul 20, 2015
    18. Imagine my surprise when I logged onto Dollmore this morning and saw my Pirouette Zinna (ballet kid) status had changed to "Shipment Completed"! She's not even the first Zinna I ordered--she's the second (ordered June 6). I hope that means my Bitter Biscuit Zinna won't be far behind. Pirouette's tracking number is not showing up in EMS tracking yet. Presumably she'll be flying out later today. :dance
       
      #658 vermont chick, Jul 20, 2015
    19. I had one that was under 30 days, and one that took almost 6 months. So it varies a lot.
       
      #659 Kielin, Jul 21, 2015
    20. Oh happy day! Bitter Biscuit Zinna has shipped! :dance That's two days after Pirouette Zinna shipped. Not sure why Dollmore didn't wait and ship them together. The folks at my Post Office think I'm crazy as it is. Two in a row will cinch it.
