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. For some reason he makes me think of David Bowie during the Ziggy Stardust or Diamond Dogs phase. I like the overall shape of his face, but would rather the mouth wasn't turned down, giving him such a harsh and rather sour/mean expression. I think he'd be more to my liking with a repainted mouth that would convey an expression of intensity, rather than a look of distaste. But that's just my opinion, I appreciate the link being posted 'cause I'm always interested in seeing more dolls! ;)

      Hugs, Juli DC :D

    3. I like the way he looks. He has that tortured unhappiness that Happydoll Arthur has. I like it and may consider getting this guy. However, I need to pay off my Lati M first :)

    4. A bit out topic XD just curious about the name of the boy...

      As all Dollshe guys have a dog breed name...If the pronounciation is 'Ban', then maybe Van is actually one of the dog breed? the bandogs...?!

      (but I see no resemblance between the doll and the dog in apparence ^^"!!)

    6. My friends brother was called Van (Van Banh, hee hee) They were Chinese I wonder if it's the same.
      I don't think it matters which people call him, most will rename him after purchase anyway.

    13. He's abominably hard to find as his name is very short. I've seen maybe four of them on DoA. Type "Dollshe Van" into the search box, but use the quotes. I'm thinking of getting one or two of these heads for a doll, but I can't seem to figure out Dollstown/Dollshe ordering.
