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. I quite miss the old muscular female body, too (not that I was disappointed with the body my girl ended up using). I am not a big fan of the resulting head-to-body proportions in FD's re-release, unfortunately. Not that I intend to get another of their sculpts brand-new after reading the continuous stream horror stories regarding their customer service.

      Here's old modded Vivian from last year. I hadn't taken 2022 photos of her yet, but hopefully that gets remedied soon. :)

    2. I'm really sad I didn't even enter the hobby until the old dolls were gone. I love realistic proportions, I would have loved to get both the muscular and non-muscular old bodies and the old heads.
       
    3. I feel somewhat guilty that I had a pretty smooth transaction with my Jin (for the most part anyways). I wasn't a fan of the new head/body proportions though, so he ended up hybrided on a different body (I was intending to do so anyways, but it ended being a different one from what I originally planned). It's a shame that their customer service went downhill soon after I received my boy, and that the re-release bodies had such different proportions to their earlier versions. (I ended up selling the body I had, Mars(?), due it not working with the scale of the rest of my crew)

      I've since acquired an Isaac from the re-release as well (secondhand), who's become my most recent incarnation of Tahmos. Jin ended up being the perfect shell for Aqqen, Tahmos' partner/lover. I ended up having to do some major noggin surgery (sanding, getting out the dremel—all that good stuff) to reduce that overly bulbous area at the back of the head on both (one of my gripes with the redesigns outside the up-sizing). I also did some minor reshaping of Isaac's nose to fit my image of Tahmos better (I'd actually been eying a closed eyed 2017 version on the MP awhile back as a potential shell for him, and when I acquired the re-release later on and got to see him in person, I realized it was a great option).

      The two have their faceups, but I have yet to get around to doing photo-ops of the two of them in their current forms. Partial laziness, partial being busy, and partially due to my Canon DSLR being somewhat MIA at the moment (it needs a professional lens cleaning, as I must've gotten some debris on it during one of my outdoor sessions and I'm afraid to do it myself in the event I damage it). Maybe at some point I'll snap some with my smartphone's in the meantime.:kitty2

      As a separate note: I do hope that those with outstanding orders will eventually hear back from Fantasia doll and and that those orders will be fulfilled. I wish everyone the best regarding all of that:hug:I also hope that Fantasia doll will return someday, and that they'll either become consistent with putting out the re-releases as ordered, or maybe go back to releasing the previous designs.

    4. Has anyone tried other companies heel feet on the muscular woman body? I figured I'd ask on the off chance someone has tried it with any success before I start randomly buying.
       
    5. @Suwalo 2017 or 2020 body? 2017 body takes Iplehouse nSID heel feet though the resin match is a bit off. I don't have the 2020 body anymore so cannot test if that one will.
       
    6. @vauhtikatti The 2017 body. This is just the info I needed, thank you! :celebrate
       
    7. @Suwalo no problem! Flat nSID feet fit too. If you buy them, be careful to buy ony new type SID girl feet, HID girl feet have a similar joint but not the same and they did not fit well.

    8. I said I'd remedy the "no photos yet for this year," and so I did! If you have seen (or at least heard of the basics of) Disney's Encanto, the setup was inspired by it. I was worried about making her hold the metal-and-glass mini lamp (with its electrical tea candle) without any support because it's a bit heavy for a doll. But somehow, the Impldoll body and Doll Legend jointed hands managed to stay steady the entire photoshoot.

    9. Can anyone offer advice about shoes for the new muscular womens body? I’m eyeing some that say they fit sd16 Volks heel feet. I think the measurements match but I have the worst luck ordering shoes.

      Edit: They’re tall boots so they go over the ankle and calve. Makes it even more important to get the fit right…
       
    10. I used sd16 heels on mine and had a pair of sd16 size labelled knee high boots that did fit, too.

    11. Thanks! That’s really helpful!
       
    12. Hi people, i've asked to a local dealer to reach Fantasia Doll to check if company will replies or not, the dealer replied that she asked to company about my possible order, let's see if she will gets a reply.:)
      I've sent a mail on my own but still no reply at all.:|

    13. In case it’s helpful for anyone else, I’m happy to report that the shoes I ordered fit. They’re a little tight on the heel but I was still able to zip them up with a bit of effort.

    14. Yeah, my friend and I have not recieved our orders either. After April last year I had been sending them monthly emails, at some point it switched to every few months. No communcation since April last year.
       
    15. What a bummer. Probably quite unlikely they'll get back to it again. I really had hoped we could have gotten them back and eventually gotten some new sculpts in their beautiful style, too. They did offer the dolls rather cheap, I wonder if they ran into financial issues with resin prices and availability getting worse and all.

      To keep the thread alive, I have some Connie. She's an original Canary on a Feeple65 body (head was resin matched by blushing). I have only just found the thrill of fantasy coloured hair, and I am not stopping at this one wig!

      I also managed to get another of the old 2017 muscle bodies, so my Amazon queen character will finally be reality. And my girl crew still consists almost purely of Fantasia dolls. :XD:

    16. Hello.
      Long time no see.
      I've been stopping making dolls for personal reasons.
      Of course, we didn't accept the official order either.

      I thought I had delivered all the dolls since I received the last order.
      Of course I checked it several times.
      I can see that you didn't receive the doll, so I'm very surprised and sorry.

      Did you send me an order mail while I was taking a break from making dolls?
      If you didn't get a reply from me about the completion of the order, the order has not been completed.
      I stopped making dolls for years.
      So I wouldn't have been able to check if you had sent me an order email and deposited money.
      Above all, there was a problem with the mail I used before, so I couldn't receive the mail properly.

      (I checked PayPal, but I can't check the details of the deposit that has a problem.)
      (Rather, there are many people who received the doll but only took the money back. T.T)

      I would appreciate it if you send me an email if you have any problems with the delivery.
      ( [email protected] )
      I don't use the previous mail because there are many spam registration problems.
      Please send me the order mail shot and the paypal payment shot together.

    18. @doll.fantasia welcome back! Once the pending orders have been resolved, are you planning on making dolls still, or are you thinking of taking a break for now?

      Also I just realized I never posted her onto this thread, only doll profiles, so here's Elyon, my Barbara whose faceup I finished this month!

    19. Hello, doll.fantasia, glad to see you back! I'm one of the people who didn't receive my order, so I sent you an email. :)
