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. Hello everyone! :aheartbea
      I'm not sure if theres already a thread on this subject (I didn't find one), but does anyone have a favorite independent doll artist? :chibi
      Don't get me wrong, I love the big companies and all their beautiful dolls, but I was wondering about supporting independent artists! :) They tend to have such beautifully unique sculpts :aheartbea

      Thank you!! <3

    6. I second YouplaDolls (I especially love and own her boys but her girls are very beautiful too).
      I also like IrrealDoll (I hope she will someday do a second MSD boy ^_^) and LittleRebel with her unique heads.
      YukiDolls has also a great style but unfortunately until now I don't own one of her creations. =_=
      There are so many more interesting artists.

    7. Donn Kinney of Bishonen House dolls, he does everything himself from concept to sculpting, casting, and finished products or kits. I have three of his guys with two on order and going to pick another one in a couple of months.

      My latest from him.

    9. I love Harucasting's Adori and Nanni - the cutest YOSDs out there (IMO), and Little Rebel has some beautiful heads (just purchased Aleksander) and there is a new artist Meeksdoll (on Instagram) - I can't wait to get her Murphy head!

    14. My favourite independent artists are @AubreyMeeksArt (meeksdoll on Instagram), Little Rebel (littlerebeldoll on Instagram) and @Rumpelstiltskin (rumpeldoll in insta)! I am lucky enough to own a head from 2 of them and can't wait to get my hands on Meeksdoll Murphy when he is released :love

    16. Asella (Noble Dolls) and Atelier Momoni. Asella's dolls are crazy gorgeous (I can't wait for my Raspberry to get here :dance ), and I love how expressive Atelier Momoni's dolls are.

    17. I am finding this thread to be very interesting. I'm checking out each artist mentioned. It would be NICE if you had a photo of one of the dolls mentioned to put it with them as well..
