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.

Dream of Doll's "Dream of Idol" (DoI) line - Luke, A&D and CRUSH!

Nov 27, 2007

    1. Andariel: Yeah I didn't think there would be a real match to DoD's resin color. My DoD U was so pale I didn't think any other body would match that:sweat

      *Earthbound_Angel*: Thanks anyway. Something told me it wouldn't fit but I was hoping anyways.

      I wont give up my search for a perfect body:)
       
    2. Oh boo:( Maybe by the time I have money for a body they will have made a double jointed DoT.
       

    3. This is what I mean by the dreadful pink resin:

      I can only hope the DoIs and TLahoo head don't show up like this. :...(
       
    4. Oh yeah... I do hope the DOI's don't have the pink skin... it is cute, but when you have multiple dolls, they can look weird next to each other.

      The colours on the site don't look pink... but who knows...
       
    5. Yeah. I hope they're not 'too' pink. And if they are.. maybe after a bit, the resin will change and look nicer. :)
       
    6. Yeah that's true... I've heard of some people saying that the resin can fade or gain like a yellowish tint... maybe if they do gain a yellow tint it'll take away from the pink! XD But waiting a few years for the fading to happen may be annoying :P

      I think if anything... I just may send out my Luke for a body blush and see if that helps...

      I don't think my Shea's pink though... hmm... I'll have to go take a look at him now
       
    7. Izu was a bit pink. But thats the way they all are. The resin may have changed though.. He's got a nice looking color now that looks like a skin color. If he's yellowed(which I can't really tell) he looks good. lol.
       
    8. I hope it isn't too pink either. But I don't have a doll yet and I don't know much about resin so...maybe everything will be ok and I am just worrying too much over my first doll.
      I'm also going back and forth over ordering A&D before my Sha...but I know that after the event A&D will be a lot more money...maybe more than I can afford. Ah I'm such a newbie. Did or does anyone else have these issues? O_o
       
    9. All the stinking time!!!! Originally I was saving up for an El --- and then DOD came out with their Fullsets, so I bought Shall --- waiting nearly drove me insane, and I was at the Volks store drooling over the dollfies --- bad idea because i ended up picking up a Kun --- *bleeds to death* to top that off, Luts comes out with Breakaway that same year *resurrects herself by selling her Kun, breaking her piggie bank and purchasing Breakaway*

      As you can see --- I still have no learned my lesson.... *points to "Waiting for Siggy"*

      These dolls will be the death of me....
       
    10. lol that made me laugh. I'm glad I'm not the only one! I think they will be the death of me too...:lol:
       
    11. All the time for me too. I think I've gone through 11 dolls before settling on the 3 and a head I have right now? I'm horrible at bonding/finding the right dolls, so I do a LOT of buying/selling to get the right ones. >0<
       
    12. I'm going through that as well right now... Which one do I save for.. Like I was going to put my money to Luke, but now that Luts is having it's confusion, I wanna grab my Soony's head just in case... So I'm trying to get the money to grab that on the marketplace. I've got an offer, just need to get money for it cause she's still in a "I'm thinking about it, so lemme know" mode. We'll see what happens.
       
    13. I have no idea why DoD's resin got so pink...but I think it was a gradual thing....I have 3 dolls from DoD, and one of them I had sold the original body to buy a new type DOC body. It steadily gets more and more pink with each new doll/body part. o_O; It frightens me. A lot.

      I hope these boys aren't so pink...>_<


      ::Edit::

      I wanted to add that all of my DOD dolls (and that one body) ALL were purchased with a couple months space between them. So they're all from the same year. (DOC Si came in Feb, DOC Twing-key came in March, DOT E-an April or May I think(?), new body ...sometime around September...>.>; ) Hence why I thought its a recent/gradual thing with the pink resin...but I could be wrong. ^^;
       
    14. let's hope. that super pink is quite freaky...
       
    15. I agree...I had an homme ducan come and he was (comparatively) really pink. I think if he had been the only doll I owned it would have been ok, but with others in the house he looked odd.

      I'm not thinking it's a pinker over time thing. My Sleeping Yen is quite pale, like my Sha when I got him 2 years ago (good god that was a while ago). Luckily DoD resin yellows nicely though to a less pink look....my DoT was my first doll and I knew nothing about it so I spent a lot of time outside with him and he's yellowed but in a very nice way I think. I'll try to see if I have comparison pics of the DoD resin somewhere...
       
    16. That's interesting Rilly, I know the Sleeping Yen is pretty recent...sooo...guess I'm just dumb. ^^; Maybe they just don't keep track of how much dye they add to the resin? >.>; *no idea*

      I'm glad to hear that the resin generally yellows nicely to balance out all the pink, rather than making them look sickly like some dolls.
       
    17. I know that when our Sha arrived, he seemed super duper pink. And his lips on his default facup were orange. =p He looked like a little pink nugget next to our hound. NS Dollshe is so sallow, anyway.

      But two years on his resin really seems to have "mellowed", I wouldn't even call it yellowing. It's not splotchy at all, just if you look inside his joints you can tell it's pinker on the inside. And his spare hands (which have been kept in a dark box) are the same color he is now, so I think it's just a gradual change in the resin as it ages rather than a light reaction thing. His head color under the MSC coat is the same as the rest of his body, too.

      He's a beautiful color now, and has been for a year or so. It didn't take him long to mellow out. And I redid his lips. ^__^

      This is our Hound and Sha together when we first got Ilium:

      and then just this past summer:
      http://www.bishink.org/childofglass/gallery/07mtnsbig_07.JPG

      Hard to tell with the lighting, but I'm pretty sure that he's not near as pink as he was.

      We're planning on a Shall for his mom and a Luke Version 2 for his dad, so I'll be curious to see how they look compared to him, and if the pinkness was all in my brain, because in his early photographs it doesn't seem to show as much as when I unwrapped him and thought he had just come out of a dip in a hot spring.
       
    18. I feel better that I'm not the only one with problems choosing dolls! I thought I was just being flaky or something! I think it is safe to say that I will get an A&D and Sha, but as for the others, I don't know if I will be able to afford them. As long as I have two bishonens I will feel very fortunate. I have a huge college loan on my shoulders after all. I just hope I bond! Still, it's nice that people understand what I'm going through. People are so nice in this hobby!
      I'm glad to hear that the resin over time is appealing, even with the pinker resin. I was worried when I heard that resin yellows. I think I'll just have to trust DOD with my boys.
      tenshi_no_korin your Sha is so kawaii!!
       
    19. OKAY!
      For those who have ordered a DOI and live in the USA

      Before I make my order, I really need to know about how much the shipping will be. I can't seem to ...see the shipping price without making the order! D: Can someone tell me how much their shipping was so I have a good Guesstimate? Please? D::::
       
    20. Ai Kazi my shipping to Chicago is exactly $86.43.
