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.

Dollshe 28M discussion

Jul 25, 2013

    1. MadamMauMau Ah, congratulations!))) You won't be disappointed with that body, it's softly movable, like kitten)))
      About shoes... Dollmore doesn't feet, even uggs. Absolutely, and for me it was not a good news. But Iplehouse EID shoes do.))) They sit tight, but with the help of handmade shoehorn it's possible. I could put even rubber shoes from Alis' Collection on Walter's feet with it.
       
    2. Thanks Mitya69. My trouble is going to be finding shoes that fit and that I can stand. I am ridiculously picky about most doll items, but I am absolutely obsessive about shoes. They HAVE to look like 1:1, in proportions, finish, everything, and none of the EID ones meet my exacting standards. Hm. SSDF shoes fit the EIDs so I will have a look around there as well.
       
    3. MadamMauMau that's real problem, then. I agree that Iples' shoes are not a peace of art, but at least their quality is rather good. SSDF shoes are huge, so it's the idea, thank you!
       
    4. I am with you on this point....
       
    5. Speaking of the body (especially the feet)... :sneaky

    6. Such beautiful sculpting.

      I am sure they are well made, but they have the proportions of baby shoes, or toy shoes (which I know they are, but you know what I mean). I think I will wait until my boy is home (end of August, possibly. Don't know how long they take to ship after the layaway is paid off). I have EID shoes and a pair of SSDF shoes and will try those on before committing. So, if you can wait, and no one gets in before me, I will report back on fit.
       
    7. Great idea, thank you!
       
    8. Hello...I've been sort of stalking photos of both the 28M boys and a couple of weeks ago I finally bit the bullet and bought an OE David head (I couldn't quite afford the body). So now I'm eagerly awaiting his arrival (and also half considering getting a Grant because damn, they're both gorgeous!)
      May I ask the general opinion about the new resin types?
       
    9. Quiet and Insane, I'm affraid you won't get any reliable opinion right now, 'cause the new resin type (you're talking about the Honey Skin, I believe) hasn't been released yet. It's still being tested and the DC waits for the final results of their experiments. Congratulations on your David head, by the way. Great choice! :)
       
    10. Yes, the Honey Skin is what I was referring to. When I ordered my head, the new resin types were available to choose from so I had assumed their testing had been completed, hence why I asked the question. I think the colour range is fantastic!
      Waiting for him to get here will be boring...ah well... :)
       
    11. My mistake, they've been just released, indeed. Anyway, I don't think anyone has received their order yet if he/she chose the new skin... So we must be patient and wait a little longer. Personally, I also love the new range of colours and the translucent character of the new resin. I'd gladly give one a try :-)
       
    12. The range of colours is much more realistic when compared with what other companies offer (with the exception of the grey, green, and blue colours of course). I think they look really beautiful.
       
    13. Welcome home Walter Kelly (Grant Phillippe in Pale Tan)

    15. He looks great!
       
    16. Oh he's gorgeous!
       
    17. Thanks everyone. :daisy He'll be a bit a of a work in progress but at least he's clothed, wigged and painted.
       
    18. mdonline03- Love your grant in the pale tan!
      I'm still trying to find Gio's (Grant in freshskin by Lyn Raftis) look............trying on a different wig. It's a bit monochromatic, but I kind of like it.
      He's on a Iple model body for now as my David refuses to give up his body for sharing, LOL!

    19. He is stunning. Understated, rather than monochromatic, I would say.

      And a favour to ask the David owners. Could someone measure the width of his eye opening, so from inner to outer corner of the eye hole? And am I right that the eye well fits 16mm eye balls?

      Thanks all.

      ETA: Just seen that he is listed as 12mm eyes. Is that right? Does a rigid (glass or plastic) 12mm eye fit well in there without gaping at the sides? Or, if someone has an eye sizer, could they stick that in there and check for me? If that is right, I really do need the eye opening measurements before I start ordering eyes.

      Cheers
