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. The clear jewelry elastic available at craft stores is what was in my other micro tinies and ought to work well.

    2. Oh this is good to know! I'm super tempted by Pocca, at first I thought he'd just be too small to be functional but going through the thread it seems like he stands and poses quite well, and his little sweet face I looked at a ruler and 5 c/m is sooooo tiny omg. I'd definitely be afraid of snapping the elastic by accident so it's good to know that the jewelry elastic works

    3. Yay for knowing that it works. His elastic was so old that it wasn't flexible anymore and just snapped. The plus side was that because it wasn't flexible he didn't come unstrung. Will be doing that this long weekend :)

    4. Omg my tiny friends I've managed to get a Willie second hand on eBay. I was randomly searching and she just came up and I snatched her up right away. I love her weird little face and she should be here either this week or next week and I'm thinking about making her a house out of broken pottery shards :0

    5. Willie is so cute! Definitely one of my favourite house elves. Hope she arrives to you safely, can't wait to see the house you build her!

    6. spacemachine: What a super find. Hope you get her soon

    7. It's great that you posted this because literally TEN MINUTES AGO she got here! I haven't had a chance to take pics yet (I'm at work, from home though hehe) but I did liberate her from the box and I'm OBSESSED?

      I haven't owned a DHS bjd in a long time, i think almost a decade, and Donny has really upped his game. The quality is incredible. There is so much delicate detail that adds to the realism. The hand posing, the fingers, the toenails, the little ears. Even with all of this, she's incredibly sturdy. The resin is heavy, and because her faceup is meant to be very realistic and imperfect looking I'm not at all afraid of taking her out with me. The joints pose SO well and so smoothly, it's insane that this little 14cm doll poses better than any other BJD I had in the past (though to be fair this was well over a decade ago) and you can just really see the love and passion Donny puts into his dolls.

      I am going to make a wig for her using his youtube video method () to match her little grey eyebrows, and as soon as that's done (and she gets some clothes!) I'll be posting pictures. I impulse bought Hana Ichi AND a Pocca and I kept thinking "why did I do this" but now that I see the incredibly quality of Willie the House Elf, I'm feeling extra confident that I'll immediately fall in love with both.

    8. Your Willie sure got there fast, spacemachine! Congrats on Hana too; she sure is lovely from all the photos I've seen this past week on FB! I didn't order her as I'm expecting both Gino and Daisy, but I do have Pocca! And let me tell you, the smaller they are, the more trouble they are, always getting into trouble! And Pocca stands as firmly as the House Elves! Enjoy!!

      I'm planning on trying Donny's wig method soon too!!

    9. DAISY!!!! I'm so sad I missed her, I'm currently in the process of destashing and selling a bunch of other non-doll stuff because I can tell the second she comes up again I'm going to snatch her up. Pocca seems like a ton of trouble! I'm glad to hear they are sturdy and well-standing too, I am afraid of losing mine so maybe she needs a little harness hahaha!

      Doing Donny's method as we speak, put on way too much white glue the first time but it's ok it''ll even out as it dries (upside down). Poor Willie, just got to her new home and already she's being wrapped in cling wrap and hung by her feet u_u
       
      #929 spacemachine, Feb 28, 2022
    10. Daisy will be released again, as this was only 15 dolls for now. Poor Willie, I'll be trying it on my Avery twins soon, but they'll think it's great fun!!
       
      #930 El BJD, Feb 28, 2022
    11. You really didn't miss the Daisy pre-order. Donny made some available to the folks who ordered a Gino to get like an advanced release of a limited number of Daisies. The general pre-order is yet to come.

    12. Possibly silly but once I got the glu cap on and hung her upside down to cure, I made sure to cut a little hole under her nose because it felt like I was suffocating her otherwise XD completely unnecessary I think, to most people anyways, but it would have bothered me all day haha. When will your Daisy and Gino arrive? I love Gino's face, sad I missed that preorder! I love how his hands fit inside his head too that seems like such a lovely little detail :)
       
      #932 spacemachine, Feb 28, 2022
    13. OH thank you, this is so great to hear! Daisy reminds me of Tinybear's Moona sculpt, that same sweet mysterious smile. (Sorry if this makes two posts I can't remember if this is supposed to merge my posts)

    15. That's a beautiful photo, MB Lilac! My Willie, aside from her fellow House Elves, only talks to the Fairyland Realfee Hippogriff pictured here in my avatar.

    16. @MB Lilac your costuming and styling for a Willie is definitely one of the reasons I fell in love in the first place!!! I love how tiny she is here but the detail on her clothes makes her seem so real!!! I think I have seen some of your work on your blog too, your house elf outfits are incredible :)
       
      #936 spacemachine, Mar 3, 2022
    17. @EI BJD - Thank you. My Willie gets around. and can often be seen in the world with my bigger dolls. Her best friend is Winston the Dragon.
      @spacemachine - Thank you. I'm happy to be an enabler! Willie is currently guest starring in an ongoing story in the Fantasy Medieval world with my MSD size characters....
      [​IMG]
      She's also going to be working with my Wizard in another story.

      I do currently have four blank DHS characters that still need faceups and costumes. I should probably address those soon.

    18. Does anyone have a picture of Pocca beside a petite Blythe? I know they aren't bjd but they have super tiny bodies, and there's tons of sewing patterns for them despite their small size so I'm hoping to see if I can sew for my Pocca once they get here! Same goes for Hana Ichi and Blythe or Licca dolls :)

    19. Expecting two house elves incoming in the near future (Gino and Daisy). Planned on making Daisy some special witch like boots while waiting, but can't find anything on their feet, except that Hana seems to wear the same size shoes.
      Does anyone have the foot measurements for house elves or Hana as a reference?

    20. I bought my first Dream High Studio doll recently, a Hana Ichi, and now I’m just waiting for her to come home to me. It’s very exciting.

      What were some of your first Dream High Studio sculpts, friends?
