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.

Fantasia Doll Elder/Senior Sizes

Mar 15, 2016

    1. She is gorgeous!! I need to see a pic of her and her man together now! Sometimes with dolls you need to use a ribbon and pull the strings up through the head hole and THEN S-hook it. A real pain but it can help sometimes. Glad you got your girl together! YAY!

    2. @chalyss I couldn't resist, so I put together a makeshift setting and went snap-happy with Vivian and my Granado Michael. To prevent too much image-spamming, I just put two pics below and put the rest in a Photogallery of their own. ^_^;

      And yep, the ribbon method was exactly what I used! Unfortunately, the ribbon ended up being stuck between the S-hook and the elastic -- I just left it inside Vivian's head as some sort of "brains". XD

    3. Oh spam away! We never hardly ever get to see these dolls!:XD:
       
    4. Stunning!!! And they DO go so well together! Vivian is a gorgeous sculpt (as is Azalea) but very different, yes. She looks GREAT! That is a powerhouse face up! LOVE it!!
       
    5. @luluna I second more spam. D: Every time I search Flickr for pics of these dolls, I get a bit of a heartache because I keep thinking what it would be like if Fantasia Doll actually survived.

      @chalyss With the lack of realistic girls in Crocus Lee's mettle, Fantasia's women are really quite a match for Granado. (Still ecstatic over the fact that my boy and girl heads are to-scale with each other now.) :celebrate I've decided to keep Azalea, perhaps for "flashback" photoshoots or when her character goes incognito. They're so different, I can't seem to keep one and let the other go!

    6. Canary Cute head on Souldoll Zenith body! Not bad at all!

      YES, I agree-- I wish Granado had more realistic or mature heads too for the ladies but I think Crocus' strength is in his male sculpting. I'm glad you're keeping Azalea too though! She's such a pretty head!

      It is SUCH a shame Fantasia went under... so much potential.

    7. @chalyss That body certainly looks fitting for Canary's "happy" sculpt! I'm having difficulty imagining her on the bigger female bodies like Iplehouse. XD

      Are you going to make a neck adapter for her? I now admire Fantasia's "neck lip" at the base of the head -- so simple, but results in good mobility.

    8. Are there other Canaries and Barbaras that made it to their owners before Fantasia went down? D: Looks like they're even rarer than Vivian or Alice in the secondhand market these days.

      To add to the hybrid pics started by @chalyss, here's some DF-H jointed hands with respect to a Fantasia Vivian on an IMPL Star body. The wrists would need to be padded because the wrist ball is a little small (hmmm might have to look through my junk pile if I have any foam rounds).

      Edit: the hands are the 1/3 male version. Sorry, I forgot to state earlier!

    9. Those hands look good! I have some DF-H jointed hands running around here somewhere... now I know who to pair them with!

      Foam rounds are my new love!

    10. WOW! NICE! She looks so classy!
       
    11. @AntarelNefertili Your Vivian is lovely and she poses so well!

      I actually do have a Barbara head but haven't had her faced-up yet. No body either...

    12. Barbara is an awesome head! I am so sorry I missed out on her! Impldoll makes a good, inexpensive body for those heads.
       
    13. @lnl_akl Thank you! My Vivian is on an IMPLdoll Starwoman body (although as @chalyss can point out, the Idol woman body works just fine) -- poses well with the right stringing methods. Barbara has grown on me after seeing owner photos of her (which are sadly so few and far in betweeen D: ).

    17. They look great!
      I solved the problem by making the eyes by myself. I made various types of them... But for some reason I am not able to post the pictures
      Vivien...

    18. @Sillion Ah yes, I recall seeing your photos on Flickr! You did a great job, especially with the slit-eyed one. :)

      I tried sharing your pics, and they seem to work fine. Have you tried using the Flickr-sharing tutorial?
