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.

Granado Minis

Apr 19, 2013

    1. I have ordered each of the bodies but the only one that has arrived is the 49Ascent body with a Ninth head. His wig size is 5.5. He has snatched a wig from one of my Unitot boys. The 49Ascent body is very nice!

    2. Did I ever say here that my Ninth stole a wig from the Unitot? I have gone a little crazy with this size and have a variety of dolls and bodies on order.
       
    3. There is a crowd funding order for a new body from Granado! I will order both the 50cm and the 33cm bodies. I am just deciding on skin colors!

    4. Eep! I'm so excited. I really regret selling my Soom Idealian 51 when I left the hobby long ago, but have been really excited by how beautiful Granado dolls are. I joined the crowdfunding for the new body and Orion head in Amber skin. It was hard deciding between rosy tan, amber, and tan skin colors. :XD:

      I hope this crowdfunding will be a success!

    5. What colors did you decide on, may I ask? There's so many!
       
    6. I haven't decided yet. I want to get out one doll of each color I have and then decide. Today has been busy so I will probably do that tomorrow. I will post a picture. I usually like light colors. I have white, new normal, pink, windfresh and syringa.

    7. The syringa is beautiful. My 53Lucifer is that colour. My wallet is happy there's no funds available. The doll collector that I am cries softly.

    8. I am so, so tempted by the 50cm boy and I have wanted a Granado doll. Are there better pictures of the Orion head anywhere?

    9. I just joined the crowd funding for a 50 cm boy. He might be a tad tall to fit in with the fashion sized group, but he can join the oddball shelf if all else fails. Fingers crossed that he gets the backing!

    10. Mmmm I was wondering that too, I could not find any other pictures of Orion head anywhere.
       
    11. You can check the video here:
      Start from 0:52 is Orion.

    12. Thank you so much! So handsome.
       
    13. Thank you for posting the video! I've pre-ordered the 50cm Fortis body and the Orion head without ever being sure I'd seen it... thank you for putting my mind at ease. I ordered him in Amber... I can't wait till he gets here! It'll be my first new doll in many, many years :D
       
    14. So this is really fascinating! I checked in on Granado social media, and spotted an update on the body development. Check this out: x.com
      I've never had a Granado doll -- are these "soft resin" parts normal for them? Do they work well? It looks pretty cool! :love
       
    15. Some companies have used silicone parts but soft resin is not something I have heard about before.
       
    16. I know for UV resin you can get soft/gummi resin that when it cures, it has the consistency of a firm gummi. I have not used this myself when I make eyes but I have seen it available to purchase. I'm assuming that Granado is not using a UV resin, lol, but if there is a UV version there's probably a 2-part version. I'm not 100% certain but I think the "soft glass" eyes you sometimes see for sale are using the semi-soft/soft resin version so perhaps what Granado is using is similar?
       
    17. There's new news! Granado posted a new video of the 1/ 4 Orion head to their social media. He's so handsome! :dance

      Does anyone know what size eyes might be good for a realistic scale?

    18. They have 9mm eyes that have worked well in the other 1/4 scale guys.
