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.

First look at KDoll Khan

Jul 12, 2006

    1. I will probably do my own... but it's been a hot minute sine I've done a faceup and all of my supplies are at my mother's- states away. Then there's Savannah's 100% humidity to contend with. The more I think about it, the more I don't want to do it. Ha
       
    2. aernath - Congrats on your boy, he looks cool in those clothes. Is the K-Doll body so different from other bodies that size? It didn't look unusual in the pictures I've seen.

      snowgray + aernath - thank you, but that's not actually a face-up. I just put a little pastel dust on his face for contrast :sweat I do want a pale face-up for him, but I haven't decided on the colours yet. Maybe just different shades of white. (Can't believe how dark my other WS dolls look compared to Khan).
       
    3. Naw, the body looks just fine! I was just surprised by the mix of sizes in clothes that ended up on him.

      chai_fiend - Oh, I hear you there! I have several heads lined up that need faces, but... getting the right weather and energy together at the same time... along with inspiration... yeah. It's a good thing they wait silently! ;)
       
    4. aernath, your guy is handsome! The wild hair is a good look to go with his funky shirt!

      evie the kid, that bit of dust is better than what I could do! ;) I can't imagine how pale the WS must be, because the NS is the palest guy in my house! I think he's not far off from my husband's WS Iplehouse guy.

      chai_fiend, I'm sure your faceup will be cool! I'll try to try some more clothes on my guy, too, though really the only big sizes I have are SSDF and EID/SID, but I think the EID/SID will be too big. Smaller shoes might fit? But I don't have any actual SD17 guys so I don't have stuff that size!
       
    5. Evie - That Mirodoll body looks like a perfect match to me. Glad it worked out.
      I was always a fan of the name Vasily, but then I have a weird thing for Russian names.
       
    6. That looks like the perfect match to me! Nice!

      For names, I usually go here:

      Just looking at him, I get ... Ivan, Arnold, or Victor? :)
       
    7. chai_fiend and aernath - thank you! Also thanks for the input on naming.
      Funny, I have been thinking of Russian names as well - maybe inspired by Snowgray's Dmitri?
      I like Vasily, but somehow it just doesn't seem to fit. Victor sounds good, and I also like the short form "Vic" - but I know someone called Victor, and I don't want my doll to share his name.
      At the moment, I favor Yurij - which admittedly doesn't start with either I, A or V - but Y might be close enough … ;) Short form could be Yu. I also like Verne - but that's another case of sounding strange in a German speaking environment.
       
    8. evie the kid, he's gorgeous! The body looks like a pretty good match. :D And Dmitri I'm sure would be in favor of Russian names! His 'family' is all Russian, though only the boys have really Russian first names. I like Ivan, like aernath suggested, because I have a good friend named Ivan and I totally used to have a doll named Ivan, too! Yurij is a good name too, though it's definitely sweeter than Ivan. Victor is in-between Ivan and Yurij for sweetness? ;) Anyway, whatever he ends up being called, I can't wait to see more of him! I'm hoping to take more shots of Dmitri this weekend!
       
    9. Hi, everyone! Sorry I've been very absent here lately~ Congratulations snowgray, evie the kid and aernath for the lovely boys ♥ ^_^ Really hope to see them around often!

      evie the kid, I loved the fact that you put some color on his face. Even though it's not a face-up, it's a very nice touch and looks very interesting in the pics! (: The fit on the Mirodoll body looks perfect~ Also, I usually look around baby name sites for inspiration on names LOL
       
    10. Thank you, snowgray and chubi! I am also hping to see everybody's khans around quite often. Seems there aren't so many around?
      I am so glad I got this guy, after all, even though I wanted to put a stop o buying dolls for a while … (never works out, that idea)
      No final decision on the name yet - plus I am really hesitating to give him a face-up, love him just the way he is …

    11. He really IS lovely just the way he is! ^__^
      I'm going to try a few other wigs on my boy, and look for a name as well.
       
    12. evie, maybe if you make him albino you would be able to remain faithful to his original face-up-less self :D
       
    13. Excuse me while I spazz for a bit: I sent in my last payment for my Khan! And I have nothing for him still!
       
    14. :XD: Congratulations! Now get shopping! ;)
       
    15. chai_fiend, that's great! Hoping to see your boy around soon! :) Yeah, better get the shopping done … *g*

      My own boy has a face-up now, and he still looks white enough. ;) He will also stick with the name Yurij - it suits him well, you will soon see why. I think he deserves a proper photoshoot, hopefully tomorrow. (Wasn't feeling too good today, I got a terrible cold.)
       
    16. Awww, evie! I hope you get better soon!
      Looking forward to seeing your Yurij all done!
       
    17. Thanks, aernath! I'm feeling a lot better today. Took some quick shots of Yurij today … I'm making him a retro space suit! (admittedly still looking more like space pyjamas atm) :)

    18. Nothing wrong with space pj's... Yurij looks so ethereal.
       
    19. David Bowie wore space pj's!
      He looks good! He looks thoughtful, with a little smile. :)
