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 Product Review

Jun 24, 2013

    1. I'm surprised there wasn't a thread for Granado already... but I searched and also looked at the index and didn't find one.

      * What did you order?
      Granado Charles, basic, 68cm.

      * When did you order?
      Jan. 3, 2013

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes. Sculpt was fantastic. Resin was lovely and matte. Jointing and posing as good as other high-quality dolls. Faceup: fantastic.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes, exactly! And faceup was very intricate with facial hair and little moles. It was perfect!

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes!

      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      Pos: Lovely, unique doll. Great price. Great communication. Lovely packaging and protection. Nice certificate--with personal note!!!
      Negs: None

      * Would you buy more from this company?
      YES. :D :D :D
       
    2. * What did you order? V-01, sunshine resin, Nuevo body, by lottery.

      * When did you order? Early 2013 I think, with lay away. Arrived 10July13.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Yes.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures? There were sadly, few photos of the sculpt, but he does look just like them!

      * Were you satisfied with the product? Absolutely. Took him with me on vacation and enjoyed posing him everywhere.

      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional) He came with silicon joint inserts that keep me from having to hot glue suede him for better posing. The resin is eerily smooth - no seam lines at all. Faceplate system is good - no face popping off randomly.

      * Would you buy more from this company? Yes, and have. I ordered an Andrew (bright), sunshine resin, 68cm body, who just arrived (12Dec13) and is just as nice as the V-01 (and Chaka I bought last year).

    3. * What did you order?
      Andy, Normal Skin, 64cm body, with Face up
      * When did you order?
      February 6th,2014, shipped on 4/15 but due to shipping carrier issues it was sent back to Granado on 4/17. Granado reshipped on 4/25 and received on 4/28.
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes, just like the sale pictures and it is very nicely detailed!
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Definitively!
      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      The Resin is very smooth and the doll itself does not have any seam lines what so ever! By the look of things the seaming service is already included in the sales price. The body poses very well, it is very stable, and is easy to handle.
      * Would you buy more from this company?
      Yes I am, I'm already placing my second and possibly my third order with them!
       
    4. * What did you order?
      Granado V-01 with Nuevo Body in Sunshine Tan

      * When did you order?
      July 1st, 2014

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      I have never felt so thrilled to receive a doll! He's tan and yet there are NO visible sanding lines, he's heavy and solid and honestly feels like I could chuck him down a staircase and be fine.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Perfectly similar. I am shocked how well he resembles the sales pictures.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      YES x 1000

      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      PROS: wonderful resin, great posing, great packaging (the box was sturdy!), and more
      CONS: I wish he could get one of those pillows or bags like other companies but that's IT.

      * Would you buy more from this company?
      I already want to! They're amazingly fast, talented, and put out gorgeous dolls! :aheartbea:aheartbea:aheartbea

    10. * What did you order?
      Saturn.S with full face up in normal
      * When did you order?
      June 2nd, 2018, received July 27th
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes. Perfectly similar! Everything exactly how I wanted.
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yeah! It appears to be bizarre to some that he is my first full strung bjd, but I don't think he was a bad choice at all. Very heavy and took my clumsy first scramblings to move and pose like it was nothing. I'd have been scared of breaking or chipping anything smaller, but the titan body just took it. The face up is astounding and the face sculpt is beautiful.
      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      This guy stands up well on his own, as long as he has some back support. His posing is good and he is just beautiful to look at and good to hold- I was told he was awfully heavy, and I understand from a resin standpoint that is true, but it isn't unpleasant. No bad angle, no seam lines, just awesome. Company has quick and reasonable communication.
      Negative? His face up has a scratch or two, and it's hard to know whether it came that way or not... but as they are not major I'm not worried about them.
      * Would you buy more from this company?
      I would if they made another one as handsome, or a smaller Saturn.S.

    11. * What did you order?
      Dark Lord Enoch on embody body. With face up and eyes. White skin.

      * When did you order?
      October 2018

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes and no. The quality of the body is very good. Totally love it. Also the head sculpt looks like it's good quality, however the resin at the eye sockets is very very thin. The face up looked unfinished too. The vampire teeth weren't white and there was no gloss over any part. The rest of the face up was very detailed and beautiful.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Aside from the teeth that weren't white yes.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes. I really love this doll. He's so fancy and bulky and I love the expression as if he's uninterested all the time.

      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      I love how he poses. Very nice! He's beautiful! I had my friend fix the face up. I don't have any complaints about him. Although his hands are huge! I only have Ringdoll men and this one does fit well with them. But the hand size is insanely different.

      * Would you buy more from this company?
      Maybe. I really love this doll. Was exactly what I was looking for. But he was very pricy too.

    12. * What did you order?
      B.J.Hands Gen.3 Zen in white skin

      * When did you order?

      January 1st, 2020. Shipped June 8 and arrived June 16.

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Absolutely. These are easily the best jointed hands I've owned.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Very much so. The color is a tad off for the body I have it on, but I can just blush it.

      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      The hands hold their pose very well and are able to actually hold items with a firm grip. All other jointed hands I've owned have been a tad floppy without putting wires into the tiny fingers.

      * Would you buy more from this company?
      Absolutely. I am thinking about buying the Zen body which goes with this.
