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. Thanks!
      I've PMed them here on DoA where they're clearly very active, so they should get back to me soon enough.
      I'm not the only one waiting either so, on behalf of everyone I really want to get this sorted.

      At least my Aria is perfect.:aheartbea

    2. I'm joining Midnitestar7 effort on getting Domuya's attention on the Drui's transparent part here.

      The thing is that the original announcement of sending the Drui's parts in October was postponed (and postponed) to January due to some issue. Now it's March and there is no sign of sending the parts or even a message of the status at all.
      I'm really disappointed about Domuya's approach. :( It's not that difficult to answer emails or put a note on their board (if they do not want to answer each email individually), especially if we see how happily they are to chat or announce new info about their other projects. (This actually makes me quite angry :evil:).

      I hope that Domu or ANYBODY FROM DOMUYA will step in and give us any information on the transparent parts.

    3. Actually I just heard from Domuya today here over PM.
      It seems they haven't been getting ANY of my e-mails at all, as they didn't even know my payment issues with the subscription, so I guess that explains that.

      It seems like the transparent parts are going to be shipped out with the 5th doll in the series - aka the next one to be released.
      Those on the subscription will get the parts with that doll, those who aren't will have them shipped out separately.
      What I DON'T know is how long it's going to take for them to release the next doll, let alone get him/her to the point of on shipping.

      Basically I think the transparent parts haven't been made yet, though that could be my misunderstanding something.

      Glad to get you all at update!

    4. Thank you so much for all your useful information, Landlocked Mermaid! I only have a couple of 6-7 wigs, so it looks like I may have to go wig shopping at some point. You're lucky to have one of Tinybear's gorgeous Tibetan lamb wigs! I've seen some of the smaller sized ones on Elfdoll tinies and they look so dreamy and wonderful! That's the look I'd love my Aria to have one day, too. Many thanks for the eye size info, as well! I think I would prefer another color to the ones she comes with, but I'll wait and see once I receive her.

      Thanks again for answering some of my questions! I'd love to see pics of your girl, too - hope you're able to take some soon! :fangirl:


      Nice to hear that Domuya finally answered your concerns, midnitestar7! I think it's too bad that they wait until the next doll will be released to send you the new arm, though. Hope they release that next doll very soon, so you get that arm quickly, too! :)

    5. Patience is a virture... I think they are focusing on their nightmare horse right now, as that seems to be getting alot of attention/potential buyers. The Life Cycle project most likely isn't living up to what they were hoping. I mean, there are so few of us on the plan and/or talk about it much here.

    6. Yeah, that's definitely very likely.

      I think they also made a big mistake in releasing a non fantasy doll like Savon.
      I know a few people who signed onto the subscription with this thought that they were going to be getting to collect a series of beautiful fantasy dolls. Then a completely non fantasy doll like Savon comes out, and people start feeling like they've made a mistake going on the subscription.
      I know that I was expecting them to continue with the 3 faceups/3 colours options too which kind of define whether the doll can be seen as a boy or a girl too.. so when Sera was released with no options and completely masculine, then Savon too was the same, I felt really downhearted about the whole thing.

      Did anyone really buy Savon in the end?
       
      #146 midnitestar7, Mar 3, 2010
    7. Finally, we got some information. Thanks for letting us know. :)
      Hope, they will stick to it this time.

      I know patience is important, but I think we are. Speaking for me, I don't mind waiting if I'm given a proper reason, but we've had no update from Domuya for some time.

      The Life project may not be what they've expected and I can see their full focus on the Nightmare project, too. Will see what the 5th doll be like. I'm not on the subscription plan (only own non-transparent Drui and Sera so far), but I'm curious about the doll.

    8. Hi All,
      I am sorry that I haven't been following up on the news or chat on this thread.
      *Thanks to Tsukasa for pointing me here.

      I have to apologize that there are still some people who are unaware of the news regarding the release of the parts. Though I have answered many emails regarding this for people who have sent emails to us (or even our dealers for those whom have purchased from them, has been informed too). But again, like Tsukasa has mentioned, we could just stick a news somewhere at our site.

      So I have to apologize for my assumption that all has been informed.

      The next Life Project Ambassador is expecting to meet all the earth friendly fans by end March to early April.

      Once again, thanks all for the support.

      Note: Its faster to get a reply from us through our official mailbox: [email protected] and if you have not heard from us after 3 working days, that means, we probably didn't receive your email.

    9. Thank you, Domu, for the update. :)
      Looking forward to the 5th ambassador.

    10. I think Savon was abit of a disappointment for alot of people. The outfit and the props were really cool and well made but just didn't fit in with the other fantasy dolls. Mermaid, Wood Spirit, Iron Bird, and then...Human. So hopefully they will have something really neat (non-human) for the next few dolls. As for Savon being a boy...uh...I made her into a girl.

    11. Savon was suppose to end being on sale at the end of Jan. But still for sale. I guess their horse project has taken them away from the life cycle dolls. :(

    12. Still waiting for news on when the next doll will be out, if ever???
       
      #152 vampireanneke, Apr 15, 2010
    13. It's early May and still no news. :(
      Well, Domu didn't mention which year... I know, an old childish joke.
       
      #153 Tsukasa, May 6, 2010
    14. Yeah absolutely nothing yet.
      I'm waiting to pay for the last doll with the next doll, as I did with Drui and Aria (because I have to wire transfer them and it costs a lot).. but there's just no sign of the next doll at all!
       
      #154 midnitestar7, May 6, 2010
    15. They say an update in Mid to late May for the new doll. (Per their website). So just have to wait abit more.

      #155 vampireanneke, May 11, 2010
    16. 'May 1, 2010 - Upcoming - "Life Project" next series, is schedule to announce mid to late May.' (from Domuya's website).

      Sign... June 1 and nothing was announced again. :(
       
      #156 Tsukasa, Jun 1, 2010
    17. This series is probably going to keep on going until next year at this point.
      I feel really silly for signing the subscription now without knowing how long it would take. x_x
       
      #157 midnitestar7, Jun 1, 2010
    18. And we are into June and thus they missed their 'May' time line/time frame.

    19. Seems that we may get some news next week: here. ;)
       
      #159 Tsukasa, Jun 2, 2010
    20. They have the name/theme for the next doll as 'When all is lost'. Why do I have a feeling it's a dark demon or pirate theme?
