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. Well, darn it, Hobby Search, where I ordered my bodies said they're out of stock :( I hope they have the cute dresses I ordered though. Those picco neemo clothes are so adorable! They later wrote that they could fill the order (maybe) July 3rd, so I'll just have to wait and see. My heads have shipped, or at least shown up on the postal service site, LOL. Can't wait! I haven't gotten a doll in a long time. Looks like some girls will have to share bodies if my picco neemo bodies don't get shipped :doh

    3. Gosh, my heads are out of sorting in LA, they should be delivered tomorrow! Wow!

      I found that Hobby Search or 1999.co.jp had the bodies for about 16.00, and it looks like their shipping is reasonable from what I can understand of their shipping rates. They also have the dresses etc... for a lot less than what is offered on ebay. Thing is, they seem to sell out all the time. Since I'm pinching pennies, I'm hoping it'll all work out in the end. :) I don't think I've ever bought from Japan before, I hope they don't charge a duty on this package!!!

      Ah bummer, I misread that. They just went into customs, LOL.
       
      #523 IngieBee, Jun 28, 2014
    4. Nope. Here in the US we luckily don't have to pay customs duties.

      Tracking on my Hiro package says it just left NY customs and departed USPS sort facility-- I'll probably get it on Monday!
      I've had LA customs post weird things-- in, out, back in again -- it's hard to tell what they're doing over there...

    5. Undoubtedly smoking the good stuff, LOL

      My wigs arrived yesterday, but I didn't get the mail until now, LOL. Talk about lazy family, nobody bothered. Anyway, I just realized that I better have working volks spray or msg or my girls, when they do arrive, will have to wait for their faceups! Also, my older dolls are going to need new faceups because my darling daughter loved them a bit too much, LOL. The faceups are dirty and rubbed off now. I hope she'll be more careful now that she's so much older?? No need to touch the faces!!! Take heads off when dressing! etc... LOL. But it's so worth it to have a partner who also loves dolls, she's my sweetest dolly :D

      Oh my, I must have done this 4-5 years ago! time flies, but might be interesting to see. Not intended for the internet, more like my own notes:
      http://www.sweet-obsessions.com/ElfdollTiny/EDtiny.htm

      Cute old picture of my elfdoll Kai :) [rotate=90][​IMG][/rotate]

      My dollie heads came and they gave me an extra! I got Bong and Kai (second kai 'cause I just love that sculpt) and I got Lyn for my daughter. But they sent an Olivia as well! I wanted to get an Olivia, but it was getting too expensive, and now I have her! Knowing my memory, I double checked my order, and no, I didn't order her, LOL.

      So I'm giving Olivia to my daughter because she can pass for her sleeping Lyn, and I thought she might like that :)

      I have to wait until July 3 to hear from Hobby Search and see if my body order will be filled. Gosh, I really hope so! I NEED them now, LOL. I also have to see one of those bodies to see how I'm going to attach the head... I have an idea, but I don't know how hard it will be to get inside the body/neck area... I really want the bodies!!! Grrr! LOL. I guess I'll be busy anyway doing lots of faceups. Especially for my existing dolls who I would like to freshen up as well. Anyway, it'll be a fun summer. Time to see if I still have working cans of volks spray stuff... :P

    6. IngieBee --neat! I'm glad everything arrived safely from LA, and with freebies!

      My order came in today too. I got a free Prince Charming outfit and they gave the sleeping head a face-up even though I didn't pay for one -- Hiro's cute, with freckles! The only issue is the right foot magnet came unglued so he's bit of a peg-leg until I re-glue it. Anyone know what glue works best?
       
      #526 icicle, Jul 1, 2014
    7. You can use superglue or a good white glue like Tachy or Sobo. If you use white glue, give it plenty of time to dry! I let white glue dry 24 hours.
       
      #527 nancy_schroeder_ca, Jul 1, 2014
    8. Also be very careful gluing the right end of the magnet back in, when I first got my Sylf I had the same magnet fall out! And when I attempted to put it back in I superglued the wrong end back in -_-;; needless to say I went through a long horrible process with fingers glued to just about everything around me (luckily not the doll lol), I got nail polish remover, tweezers, and managed to fish it out. Just hoping you don't go through the same thing I did lol.

    9. That's the main advantage of white glue. Soaking in water is easier!

    10. Congrats to all who got their dollies or will be getting them soon. It would appear that mine got delivered today but they stuck the notice on the door and it fell off. Must head off to the post office tomorrow to pick it up. Sigh. I can't wait to pick up my Hiro!
       
      #530 calliope13, Jul 1, 2014
    11. icicle, I use superglue for that. Pretty typicle for them to fall out. I even bought a bunch of magnets at a magnet store online because I've lost them, LOL. Just make sure which direction it's supposed to go in or it will repell the foot rather than get them to attach. Ah well, you already got your answers, I'm too late, LOL!

      Anyway, sorry 'bout the delivery being delayed, calliope13, sometimes I wonder if the postal delivery person even tries :( We are mostly lucky when we get our regulars, they're great. But they get sick sometimes, or their routes get changed :(

      Anyway, since I'm going to put those heads on picco neemo bodies, I just realized a way to do it. you know they have that ball that the head is supposed to float on (giving it it's range of motion) but the plug piece looks like it's too big to go through their head? Well, I think I'll just cut that off and drill a hole through the ball and string a silicon rubber band through there, then hook it on the head cap. Maybe that'll work? Will see :)
       
      #531 IngieBee, Jul 2, 2014
    12. Thanks for the glue answers, everyone. I've got some Tacky so I'll try that first. I figure leaving it on the end of the leg then swiping it into the hole should prevent the dreaded 'reversed polarity'...
       
      #532 icicle, Jul 2, 2014
    13. Good idea! Never thought of that! Hope it swipes off ok :)
       
      #533 IngieBee, Jul 2, 2014
    14. Hiro is home! I am sooooo happy and he is just so cute. They included the free prince Charming outfit for me too :) I have a NS picconeemo body and the resin is a nearly perfect (98-99% IMO) match for the homme skin.I will try to post pics later in the week if nobody else manages to do it before me. Hope this helps those asking about color matches.

      IngieBee - the neck piece on the picconeemo bodies fits just fine as is on all the elfdoll tiny heads I have tried (Hiro & Kai), for mine at least it was a tad loose on Hiro.

      Edit:
      icicle - I believe you are thinking about the pure neemo bodies which are slightly larger but are available in xs. The picconeemo (or picco neemo depending on where you search) are only available in S and M or the D (super deformed -ie exaggerated limbs). I have both S and M sizes and the neck is the same on mine.
       
      #534 calliope13, Jul 3, 2014

    15. Oh, this is fascinating about the picconeemo bodies, thanks for mentioning it! I'm assuming it's the XS?
       
      #535 icicle, Jul 3, 2014
    16. will
      Wow, that's awesome about the neck piece! I know Hiro has skin tone like my old elfdoll Kai, darker. It's great that it matches so well! It turns out that Hobby Search contacted me finally and said they couldn't get an answer back from the manufacturer, so I was allowed to cancel my flesh colored bodies and get the white ones. I think for the regular Elfdoll skin tone, it'll work out well. It will undoubtedly go off anyway as all my elfdolls have yellowed a bit over the years, and the plastic of my obitzu dolls hasn't changed much if at all. But the nice thing is that I'll probably be able to counteract any color diferences with blush. I'm so excited now that my order is complete. I just hope they'll ship soon! Yaaay!

      Yah, icicle, they look really nice. I can't wait to see one in person :D
       
      #536 IngieBee, Jul 4, 2014
    17. I have a PiccoNeemo S (13cm) body on the way, I want to see how well it works. I tried ordering more bodies from Elfdoll but they said they were sold out and canceled my order but then turned around and sent the heads!!! Now I have 3 extra heads and nothing to do with them. I was going to sell them but then GoodbyeKitty just happened to post photos regarding the PiccoNeemo fit - it was perfect timing! If all goes well, then all 3 heads will get Picco bodies.
       
      #537 DanceCat, Jul 6, 2014
    18. DanceCat - great news on getting your heads. Hope you get the bodies soon.

      Hopefully everyone will get their dollies soon. I can't wait to see what everyone is going to do in regards to faceups with all the black heads that were ordered :)
       
      #538 calliope13, Jul 7, 2014
    19. Actually, IngieBee: I'd love to see the heads on the "Pure Neemo XS" bodies, too!
      BTW: Picco Neemo bodies DO come in an "X-Cute" size that is even smaller than the Picco "S" bodies, but so far they only come as complete sets (dressed dolls) so they cost a couple-hundred dollars each :doh
      More frustration: PN best outfits only come on their dressed dolls, PHOOEY!!

      William: Thanks for the tip on the eBay seller! It's always good to hear of an Asian-based dealer with a quick turn-around time. And, yes: The prices are very competitive: Low $ and free shipping on most items!

      Calliope: "black heads"? Was Elfdoll offering a special resin color for a while? I didn't see any mention of it on their website…

      :daisy Amanda
