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.

    1. Zihu is fairly new and I don't think she was ever offered in French resin.

    3. Narsha Girl - Basic(Black hair) - LE99 is listed as French Resin and is still available on the Dollmore site.

      http://www.dollmore.net/shop/step1.php?number=99&b_code=B20021125011548

      The Narsha Boy - Basic(Pale Blonde) - LE99 and Narsha Girl - Basic(Blonde) - LE99 were also French resin but are sold out now.

      The French resin is more expensive!

      PS: Mine is the basic black hair.

    4. I had no idea it was that much more on the French resin...I'm really close to getting Zihu..Nancy, are you going to the korean bjd convention in Korea town in Los Angeles in April? I'm so excited already thinking about it. I'm not sure if I should wait until the show, or just get her now.

    5. I don't know if I will be able to go to the convention. It depends on how DH recovers after surgery in January. It depends on your budget. If you can buy Zihu and still have extra funds for the convention, go ahead! They may not have her at the show. They have a lot of dolls and probably can't bring them all.

      Do you know if Dollmore has committed to coming?
       
      #265 nancy_schroeder_ca, Dec 13, 2013
    6. i wonder if they would bring a specific doll if you said you wanted to buy it there?
       
      #266 auntbear, Dec 13, 2013
    7. Yes, it says they're commited..you're right...they may not bring Zihu..afterall, they have so many dolls to bring...and I don't want faceup, so I guess I should get her on line when I have enough to spare on a doll...I haven't gotten a new BJD in the longest time~sigh` o~well..I hope all will go well for you & DH?.

    8. you could probably save the shipping at least by arranging to pick her up at the convention if you preordered her and had her bring her there.
       
      #268 auntbear, Dec 14, 2013
    9. That's a great idea! I'll ask a month before then. ^^

    12. I would ask them if you can do it much sooner! They may get busy near the convention time.

    17. Dollmore has backed out of the Korean bjd convention in Korea town in Los Angeles in April. That's too bad. I would have enjoyed seeing more dolls in person!
       
      #277 nancy_schroeder_ca, Jan 21, 2014
    18. Aww, I'm sorry to hear that, nancy. They had a booth at Ldoll last year and brought an Elysia; I was delighted to see her for real. There were no Narshas, but I'd brought mine so I did some Dollmore advertising ;).

      Hm. If they are liable to back out of conventions, I guess it is not such a good idea to ask them to bring an order for me to pick up (I was considering doing that for an Alexia). I'll just have to come to terms with the fact that I'm doomed to horrid customs charges :p.
       
      #278 Sigune, Jan 22, 2014
    19. I would ask anyway. I don't think Dollmore would agree to deliver it at the convention unless they were sure they were coming. At least we don't have customs charges. It would just be nice to see them in person! I have an Alexia and an Elysia! I love them both!
       
      #279 nancy_schroeder_ca, Jan 23, 2014
    20. I did ask, but going by their response, they were a bit stunned by the question. Possibly because I asked it now and Ldoll is mid October ;). They told me they would do it, provided I paid the doll in June. But I'm still wondering if it is such a good plan - if I travel by plane, like last year, I'd have to find a way to put her in my hand luggage (and limit my hand luggage accordingly). It might be more trouble to travel with her than to have her shipped. Also, Dollmore often ships really quickly, so I'd have an extra long wait if I wanted to pick her up. Speed, or taxes? I don't know. I'm still thinking (there is enough time, haha!).

      Alexia, Elysia and Narsha - do I detect Gu Mi-jeong love, nancy? :D I do adore her work. I think Elysia has the most beautiful doll face I have ever seen, but she is much too large for me XD. Alexia - well, I have an Alex whom I adore, a Hansel full set. I can't bear to customise him, but at the same time I'd love to work on one, so I'm thinking of getting a blank Alexia whom I'll paint myself. Very similar reasoning to the one that made me end up with two Zihus. It's my own little Gu Mi-jeong madness :p. I feel mildly ashamed for this lack of self-control, but at the same time I can't regret a couple of these lovely couples...

      That reminds me that Clarissant is still waiting for a new outfit. Meanwhile, another picture of her brother Lovell.
