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. I bought a magic sword from balagur73. It looks even lovelier in person than in promotional photos! :D Her service was just as wonderful. Very friendly, prompt, and the sword itself was completed before I knew it. She even followed up with assembly instructions before it arrived. It was packaged extremely securely, and in a lovely box.

      Overall, a great transaction! I would gladly buy from her again.

    4. I pre-ordered Dog (head) from @balagur73, and I'm so happy I did. Balagur73 was great at communication, and I love the unique sculpt she made. Once I get him a body, I'll be sure to post lots of pics. I definitely recommend DSdoll to anyone looking to buy.
       
    5. I was a part of the preorder for the DS: Dog head, with elf ears and mask.

    6. Positive: I ordered two beautiful masks from balagur37, one from her etsy and one through email after her posting a thread here. She was easy to work with, wonderful at communicating progress, and her works are a good price. I have included the masks I received below. (I haven't been able to get them on the dolls photo wise from time issues on my end, but I will be posting pictures in her thread here when I do!) The masks are beautifully made, come with a certificate, and are all around awesome. I would gladly order from again!

    14. * What did you order? I ordered Mr Fox awake and sleeping heads from @balagur73 <3

      * When did you order? May 2024 (and casted and sent directly to @SMWoman for faceup work, all very quick turnaround)

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? I simply can't say enough about the quality. I've been eyeing the Mr Fox sculpt for a character doll of Alfred from The Last Kingdom for several years, and I'm so very happy I reached out to inquire about ordering.

      The sculpt itself is gorgeous, incredible character expression, and I love the neck sizers. It makes changing the head from awake to sleeping very easy to do, and I wish more bjd were designed this way. <3

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes, and even better in person!

      * Were you satisfied with the product? Absolutely. <3

      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional): Not a single negative. I couldn't be happier.

      * Would you buy more from this company? Absolutely! I love Marina's sculpts and after working with the neck sizer pieces, I'm already thinking I'll need to order the Dog sculpt for another character. <3
