Dollshe Discussion - Part Seventeen

That's correct!

 

Oof, I've been out of the hobby for a bit but saw a post on ig of a new sculpt (Dollshe Leo)...but hearing that the wait time for Dollshe dolls is still wack...oof </3

 

@Crudnuts Good on you for checking. Not everyone researches before plunging in, unfortunately. I also think the new sculpts are beautiful, but knowing you might wait up to three years to get one makes it a much harder sell.

Does anyone have the name or handle of the sculptor? I thought I had her on Instagram, but I can't seem to find her.

 

I have her on ig! She's @keara.nui --Ugh I love her designs, but I wish maybe she had picked a different bjd company to buy her models? haha

 

@Crudnuts Thank you! I thought for sure I was following her, but I guess not. Her work is beautiful. Maybe someday we'll get a chance to buy it without having to deal with Dollshe.

 

Hey oh! I've just received my Dollshe Ausley Love and I was wondering which dresses fit her body.

 

How long are the waiting times at Dollshe currently...? I'm getting weak again.

 

About 3 years

 

Got mine after 1.5 year

 

Don't do it, you'll go crazy waiting and trying to ask about order updates! 3 year waits for some of us, more for people who didn't order dolls that already existed. I've been waiting on a King Corey since 2020 through Divas and Dollshe says they didn't get the order until 2021 for some reason. It took 2 years 7 months to get an Erica Snow head only, ordered in 2019 got it like last month. I had to reorder my original 2019 order of Ausley and Amanda because it was "lost" in 2020 shipping supposedly (btw I don't think that is what happened) but no one told me until I asked a YEAR later at the end of 2021. I had forgotten how seamless normal doll orders could be (Ordered from Loongsoul and Souldoll since then, all orders sent in 5 months or less even with one through a dealer). Don't do it!!! You'll have all the regrets LOL.

 

If you MUST go with Dollshe, please buy secondhand; don't enable this sham of an artist any further than he already has been.

 

In their current sales where the sale is limited (100 dolls, 30 dolls) they say they will produce the dolls in 1-2 months vs. the alleged normal 5-6 months. I assume this is very unlikely to be true based on current experiences?

Ex: Diana (16F CLASSIC MAXI - 61cm) (50% off) - DollShe craft

 

@Ardent
Take everything Dollshe says with a grain of salt. The tiniest grain. That one tiny grain will be the tiny truth in the Dollshe salt shaker of lies and broken promises. And that truth is that anyone who orders will have to suffer through long waits filled with lies and broken promises (and deleted instragram posts because Mr.Dollshe can't seem to handle people calling him out on his poor business practices).
Like Cloudedmind said, the average wait is 1-3 years, some people have waited over 4.
I suggest reading the current waiting room, which is over 2 years worth of posts, and checking out the waiting list.

 

I just checked the sale... $170 for a 16F Diana is tempting, so very tempting. But I've read so many horror stories about waiting times and dolls shipped unstrung that I'm not sure I want to pull the trigger, even at such amazing prize.

 

Thank you both for the reality check and pointers to waiting room with current experiences. That's just tragic, I am so sorry for everyone waiting years for dolls.

 

That all sounds horrible and eye opening. Thank you, I will not get weak now !!!!

 

I still love my old secondhand Bernard. Kise is a joy.

 

I love him too. He has such a calming presence.

 

Hello - I have been doing some searching to no avail and I am hoping someone could point me in the direction of a basic stringing guide to the Dollshe 18m classic maxi mystic body (pose plus). I received the doll unstrung from BJDivas and the guides to stringing a doll that I have found don’t seem to be applicable to this body. Thank you so much in advance!
