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.

    5. Hi hi, is the resin urethane or french resin? thank u~

    7. Noodles, do you mean for a MSD size?
      pnk84, it is french resin.
       
    8. but is the french resin only for MSD or for SD too?
       
    9. french resin for MSD ,SD and Tiny
       
    10. Yes, sorry. I should be more clear. :sweat
       
    11. hi! ^^
      I'm new at BJDs and cannot decide whether to get Kana senior or the "normal" one yet *_* ^^ But it definitly has to be pink kana! :D
      As there have been a lot positive answers over the times I decided that my first BJD will be from AS! They make lovely looking dolls! And they seem to have improved over the year...

      As there was said the senior one will come with double-joints... what does that mean to the doll itself? The posability? Will it be possible to move her a bit more with that? How about re-assembling the doll? Would it get more difficult to handle?
      It isn't said on the pages itself, for there are many copied written versions...

      And how about the blushing options?
      I want to get a really white kana (white as milk, white as light), so how much effect will these three options maybe have on the color? And will the skin get more shiny and plastic like (will it be reflecting more light compared to unpolished ones?)
      -Basic polishing for the body(polishing+UV Coat+three<-----three??)
      -UV Coat for the whole body including head(no colour)
      -Fine polishing for the body inculding fingernails(polishing+UV Coat)

      Oh, and about the shipping costs:
      :?
      I know this page they linked about the shipping costs for all the zones they ship to? But in what kind of currencies? For zone five (my zone) for example:

      first 500g
      D ________M
      220 _____280

      additional 500g
      ____75____

      Additional is no secret (as is first), but what's D and M? Could it mean it's a range for the first 500g? Or what and who and how?*_*

      m(__)m crawling before the one who can get a little light into my head!:sweat

    12. It means the doll has extra joints. It improves flexibility a lot, and hopefully in turn, poseability because of that. reassembling the doll should be made no more difficult or different from stringing a non double jointed doll. There will just be extra joints to go through as far as I am aware. ^^ You are paying more for the increased flexibility.

      When they say polishing, I'm pretty sure they mean blushing. so blushing +UV coat
      So in answer to your question, it won't make it shiny. If you want her really white I would advise you not to get body blushing, because AS do their body blushing very intense and pink, which will seriously go against the whiteness which you are looking for. ^^;
      Unless you have a can of MSC UV cut or have a place you know you can purchase it from, you might want the spray of UV coating on it.
      As said before, if you want white then I would advise against the body blushing. I personally like it, but it wouldn't fit what you want. ^^

      I can't help you there with the shipping costs though , sorry ^^;; I don't understand it XD

      It would be best though to ask Zero as she is the english representative of AS. I'm just obsessed. :sweat
       
    13. @SakuraLee: Thank you! m(__)m :)
      When I'm ready to finally make an order, I'll ask about the shipping costs. But if someone knows about it, please tell us!
      So they get more flexible, huh? :D (<--can't wait to get her! ^^)
      Why don't they mention it on their pages? (never found it)
      As for the blushing I'll just take the order "remove seamlines" and do the rest myself at home to be sure my Kana wouldn't be as pink as heart :aheartbea *laugh*

    14. we don't mention double joints will make the doll more flexible that's beacuse we are not the first company to produce double jointed doll,so if you are not new in this filed you will know what's the different bettween single joints and double joints,and if you are new and don't know you can send mail to the email address given on the page to ask about.

      And as sakuralee said,the blushing itself is good,but if you want white body,you'd better choose remove seamlines or choose UV Coat for the whole body including head,and three means breasts and the .....(you can guess which part on one's body is a secret place).

      about shipping:this is not mean where we can send package to ,but mean where EMS can send package to.
      D-means files,paper
      M-means material
      so the fisrt 500g for the doll is 280CNY(China yuan).and then every 500g 75CNY.If you the package is 2300g,EMS will take it to 2500g
       
    15. @Zero1900: Thank you for the advice and information m(__)m
      As unexperienced as I am I will be asking questions like these again soon I guess, I'm sorry...
      m(__)m :sweat
      But for all the newbies getting on BJD-sites it would all be easier when they get more information on each I think (you'll never be sure which site one would first enter, right? ;)) ... and to be honest: AS was my first site and at the first time I *never* got the idea to visit other pages :sweat hehe, I simply got stuck!

      Laoky (who goes to AS several times a day just to fall in love again) ^^
       
    16. Hello all, me again.
      I'm looking around AS still to find.. they have no wigs? O-o;
      I was curious to know if LUTS's Delf wigs would fit the AS Normal/ Senior heads.
      Thanks again >3<

      Edit:
      Along with the LUTs outfits...
      <.<; I really like LUTS's outfits/wigs but I'm not in love with the molds as much as AS
       
    17. this is the wig page:http://www.angell-studio.com/en/category.php?action=08000000


      don't know why you can't find it,and 1/3 doll ,1/4 doll's wig are for free
       
    18. Yes, I've clicked on their wig link before but nothing has never loaded.
      When I clicked your's it's been about 20mins and only one wig has appeared. The page says it's still loading, but this is quite bothersome >_<;
       
    19. I ordered a Milk white Gus sometime in February and he arrived to me March 11th <3

      How is the quality?

      I've never had a french resin doll before and I was astounded by how lovely he is :aheartbea The resin is so smooth and beautiful, and absolutely seamless.

      Did the dolls look like the ones in the photos?

      I ordered him without a face-up so of course he didn't look exactly like his photos, but otherwise yes, he's just as beautiful as he is on the website.

      How is the posability of the doll?

      When I recieved him he wasn't too tightly strung ( but not overly floppy either ) so he couldn't really hold his poses himself, but as for the poseability itself, he's actually capable of some really nice natural looking positions that my DoD boys can't. So that's definately a huge plus for me. I've noticed he can't stand though unless he's wearing his shoes and I think it might be because his feet are a bit on the smaller side. He has gotten terribly loose though after the last few months and eneds restringing so that may also be part of it, though he was shipped with wire, which I thought was really nice, so that should probably helps alot.

      What kind of skintone do the dolls have? (really pinkish, normal fleshy skintone... comparisons with other companies?)

      I got my boy with the Milk white and really is a stark, bright white. I know some people like a creamier white, but this whiteness is perfect for what I want. I've never compared him to another white doll so I can't compare how he looks next to them.

      How was the customer service?

      I was SO happy with how nice my emails were replied to. They were very polite, didn't take forever to actually write back and reassured and worked with me when I was worried about a mix-up on the gender of my boy's body.

      How was the packaging? Did they send it with a carrier bag?

      My boy came in a bunch of secure bubble wrap, inside his soft, white carrier bag which was inside a pink box which was inside another shipping box. I think they really did do an accurate job on their end on making him secure, but I was surprised to find that even though the outside box looked only mildly beat up, one corner of the pink box he was in was nearly torn off @_@ Not sure what that was about, but you can tell there was care in packaging him, just not sure how much care there was with the post.

      Is the store reliable?

      Most definately :3

      How is the resin smell?

      I ordered him with a vanilla scent. I can't smell anything about him that smells like vanilla, but at the same time, he doesn't smell like resin does either. He sort of just smells like nothing. Although when my friend sniffed him she swears he smells pretty xD
