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.

    7. Merry Doll Round forever and always! I have such a love for her sculpts. I really like BlackCherryDolls too, particularly Xiao Yu.
       
    8. This thread is absolutely fantastic! I fell asleep in bed last night while looking up all these talented artists. I think I’m destined to make it a goal to find an Atelier Enaibi doll at some point if possible- Atelier Momoni dolls are wonderful and super cute as well and seem much more obtainable... Goals... XD

    9. I am a huge fan of Pasha Pasha, Popovy Sisters, and Pidgin dolls! I love that their dolls have such strong artistic concepts behind them.
       
    10. I am very fond of the dolls of Murvenart. Her mermaid (or rusalka) is just awesome! While waiting for it I spotted a little Do-Mi-Sol being sold second hand. Killed my budget, but she is super adorable and one of the most posable dolls I own!
