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.

    3. Very cool idea Domuya, this should be fun!

      Question, you have two options for each event head. One with head only ($73USD) and one with head + torso ($125USD). Is the event only open to those who buy the head with the torso, or is it also open to those who buy just the head?

      Thanks!

      Edit: my post was deleted so I'm adding it here so everyone can see what Azraelita was talking about (I thought it was a post that had broad interest and would be helpful to others, not just myself.)

       
    4. tiffanyjbt: I was wondering that too, but when you read the despription iside the link you see that the cheaper head is only available for customers from China.
      I know Chinese pay very high duties on export, so the second head (125$) might include these duties.

      And the heads are only sold with torso (which is as freebie), Ive already asked that question in the discussion thread :sweat
