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. when well-done, they can give the doll much character ;) Just as any other beauty marks. I noticed that whenever I paint a doll I always leave it with something... the focus on eyes and lips is not the only thing ;)
       
    2. I love freckles, especially on dolls. When I was a kid I always wished for some, but I just get tan in the sun. When I eventually get Simone a different faceup, I want her to have freckles.
       
    3. I think freckles are so cute! I definitely want a bjd with freckles some day!
       
    4. I really love freckles, I will receive doll with freckles in this or next month and i think so it will give her more personality and atractive character, as we all get this in sunshine :-) so i think doll will look more human and more alive.
       
    5. I'm definitely considering to give my new doll some freckles or beauty marks too, since I feel like they give the doll even more personality and make them look even more realistic. I just don't know if a face up artist would end up making them look how I want them to look, so I'm still thinking about it :)
       
    6. I love freckles and beauty marks and the whole dotty shebang.

      I used to kind of hate my moles and overcorrected to freckles and moles for everybody. Lol.

      But I do like the look of introducing some skin irregularity to a doll. Makes them feel more like a person.
       
    7. Hmm... I would depend on the doll and character I have.
       
    8. I like freckles! I think it adds to a cheeky look on a younger character, but it can also just add a sense of realism to any doll if they are done well!
       
    9. I love freckles on Dolls <3. Thats so cute *.*
      But only my MSD has any of them.
       
    10. Freckles are a big yes for me! I think they're absolutely adorable and while I haven't tried them myself yet, I'm really excited to on the right doll. As for beauty mark, I have some "beauty marks" myself, that are very dark, defined freckles at key points on my face, and I don't usually see that accurately portrayed anywhere so I always love to see it :aheartbea
       
    11. Ugh. NO!

      It's bad enough that I have to deal with being covered in the ugly things myself... Why in the world would I want to put them on my dolls, too?! :horror:

    12. I love freckles so much, I´ve always loved them! But I wouldn´t want all my dolls to have them... I feel like freckles gives a doll a more realistic and lifelike feel to them, but of course depending how it is executed. I like both very realistic and also very cartoon like freckles (for example one-by-one freckles like Deku from bnha has or similar)it looks cute on dolls! Coming back to why I wouldn´t want all my dolls to have them, I like diversity in the stuff I create, I would just hate me if I put freckles on everyone, like I used to on my drawings back in the days.
       
    13. Awww, @Brightfires! Everyone I seem to know who is very freckled hates them but non-freckled folk love them.

      Shoutout to @rykaan here on DoA who does some pretty great freckled faceups! I have a couple dolls with freckles and adore them but I wouldn't put them on literally every doll. Kinda ruins the magic for me. :love

    14. I LOVE freckles! The more, the better, in my opinion. I've always been jealous of people with freckles, so I plan on living vicariously through my dolls and giving them loads of freckles.
       
    15. i love freckles... they make the doll look cuter. ><
       
    16. I LOVE freckles. When I got my April Story Raven, I was so excited about the freckles, but they're not as obvious on mine as they are in the company photos. So some day I may have to fix that.
       
    17. I'm a YAYer :lol:! I love freckles especially when they're differently colored, like in between the brown ones are darker ones or white ones or even fully blown rainbow. It gives the doll even more character I think <3.
       
    18. I ordered Doll Chateau’s Snowborn fullset specifically because I’m hoping he’ll have those delightful freckles! I can change the other details for the character I have in mind for him. X3
       
    19. I gave both my dolls freckles! I think freckles are adorable, and add so much both to the face and body. (I just used toothbrush with watered down acrylics)
       
    20. I like freckles if it matches the character I have in mind. I'm extremely picky about how they look and pretty much only like them if they look natural and not like black heads scattered across the face.

      That being said... I'm a gigantic sucker for beauty marks and moles so all my dolls pretty much have them...................
