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.

Dollstown Hue & Mui

    1. I'm going to have a look at those ankles once my body arrives (its getting shipped out on the 21st or 22nd!) I may see if its possible to mod them into something a bit more elegant. But it really doesn't matter THAT much - My boy is certainly almost always going to be wearing boots anyways.

    2. *fans Idoru*

      In the early photos of Hue you can see the sculptor was using Michelangelo's David as inspiration. I can't wait pose him with Kyuuya.

    3. There's even more pictures of Hue and Mui posted to the gallery now. All I can really say is: OMG.

      So what if the body alone is the cost of a full doll... its sooo gonna be worth it. I can't wait for it to arrive.

    4. ZOMG, Mui's going to ship on the 26th!:o

      This will be the fastest I've ever decided to buy a doll and had it in hand. Way to go Dollstown!:)

    6. I do luck out being in such a big west coast port, packages sent EMS from Korea usually arrive in three days:) unless there's a customs problem. :|

      The last time a package was delayed...they tried to deliver it to my store address on Thanksgiving day. :doh At least that wasn't a doll.

      *biting nails in anticipation*

    7. I like Hue but his body is rather too buff. I don't get it... Childlike faced boys with overly buff bodies dressed like girls.... That's dollfies for ya!!

      I wish they'd make an elfy eared boy to be Soph's big bro or boyfriend. ^_^

    8. Bah, Ravendolls - you're always so critical. ;) But yeah, the face doesn't really go with the body. I'd be interested in seeing them make an elf-eared boy, although I'm not convinced I'd like him. Dollstown heads have a very particular look to them.

    9. LOLZ! Pay no attention to me.. I'm just looking for reasons NOT to buy more dolls! Harhar...
      I love DollsTown's particular (and even somewhat peculiar) look, I think it translates really well to the boys.

      Oops here I go again with the critical thing: Cankles are standard issue with all DT dolls!! >_<

    11. You just described all of my dolls!:o :)
      Okay, Magnus & Lex never dress like girls.

      It did make me laugh that Hue/Mui body is 15, uhhuh, and Yukinojo is 16? Were they rasied on rural farms doing hard labor???

      Um.

      Never, um, mind.

    13. I disagree. Hue has alot of potential to have a real manly face- if you paint him right. Or, if you don't paint him right, you can mod him right. He's got a very simillar face style to Hound, I think, and Hound can be pretty manly sometimes. Hue won't be that difficult, either. Just needs some work.

      Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeee~!~~~~~~!

    14. I agree with Splinterhayde; the faceups that Dollstown gives to their dolls makes them appear young, but they have the potential to look much older. I have a Seola who I like to think I've put some age on. With my Hue I am going to try and mod his cheeks a little so they are less puffy at the bottom, and I am hoping to make him look a little older (he will also have a much better looking wig than what Dollstown gave him :P) People seem to be dismissing Hue quite easily, but if they could just look past the default faceups and really think about his potential, he's a really unique doll that is going to look great once we get our hands on him, haha.

    15. Well, basically, Hue is just a male Estella. If you look at the pictures of the original blank head of Hue that was made, really, that's all there is to it. But, as a male, Hue has lots of potential as a sculpt, because, in my opinion, and I know this sounds just odd, but the shdaows fall nicely on his face. He has some more realistic/impressive detailing than some other doll companies ussually make thier dolls with. And come on.

      REMOVABLE TEETH FOR THE WIN. :D

    16. He is an estella male, yeah, but there are some slight differences in the nose, eyes, and mouth. I like dollstown dolls because they are more realistic than other companies, too.

      And you're right, removable teeth is one of the best inventions ever! No more trying to paint in that horribly thin mouth line! :mwahaha

    17. All kidding aside, I do agree! The default face-up and poofy hair are making them seem younger, but painted just so...bringing out the world weary soulfulness will bump their age right up. :) I plan on doing more or less the same face on Mui that is currently on Nathan, very different from the default.

      I don't look forward to MSCing indoors though.:ablah:

    18. He is GORGEOUS *_* I just wish he wasn't so much, so I could afford him. Think I could buy him in parts? ;)

    19. Yes, I agree elvenmoon. This is what I have done being Christmas and all it was hard to get all the money together for the whole Dollfie so I am just getting Mui's head for now and his body in the new year! I can wait. In the meantime Mui will share a Soom boy body that I am sure will work fine, I hope!

      All the best,

      xen :)

    20. Can someone perhaps help me out? My internet seems to hate the Dollstown website and frigs around with the text every time I visit, so it's unreadable to me. I am head over heels in love with the 15year male body though. Are they still producing it? For how much? Not that any particular price will deter me... I MUST HAVE IT!... I just need to figure out how much to scrimp on my next paycheck. It's... it's... just so gorgeous! I don't see a head I particularly 100&#37; like yet, though I ADORE how they do the lips... just only one or two of them is smiling, and they BOTH seem to be very feminine female molds... and I kinda want my boy to be happy looking. But yes.... Help please? Perhaps tell me why my Mozilla is screwing around with the text? Anything!
