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.

Dolls You Love But Will Never Own

Feb 16, 2023

    1. The Soom Monthly dolls specifically Beryl and Heliot. I love them but I don’t know if I’d ever own them. I’ll continue to admire from afar.

    2. Lilycat dolls. I've had one and she was GORGEOUS, but the posing wasn't great. Maybe if I wanted to put more effort into sueding and/or restringing a few times to get it just right, but at present the desire for a doll and the willingness to work for her to pose well haven't aligned.
       
    3. Volks PS bisque dolls, they are gorgeous, but I don't want to buy one with someone else's name. Getting them under volks's strict rules seems even more impossible

      ps. Getting a yo-tenshi version seems tempting
       
    4. Volks Shinsia - the doll who launched me in to this hobby but now seems lost to time. No one seems to be selling her or posting about her anymore.
      My other dream doll I love with all my soul is D.Lace Ex Machina male. I love cyborg/android dolls but the sculpting and presentation of this one matches everything I've seen in my dreams. Truly this is a work of art the artist is allowing you to own. He looks very much like he is worth every cent.
      But I could never justify the cost compared to other expenses in my life. I saved pictures of him to my computer. Absolutely gorgeous doll.
