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. there is one from switch which is "pavian" and he is absolutely adorable.
       
    2. I really love the unique expression they can give in the right sculpt for certain characters. I happen to have six in my own collection right now. One is a deceased fairy, so obviously...:lol: And another is a cat girl who’s eyes were initially modded by me because I wanted a cat-like “sly” expression. Another is a big fantasy guy with hooves, horns and delectable “sultry” half-lidded eyes because oh my gosh, he’s smexy! Another was a romantic Peakswoods sculpt that just happened to be totally gorgeous. Another is a rare plant-based sculpt. And one was perfect to be a modern resin representation of a 1920’s boudoir doll. Basically, in my experience, certain characters can be best represented with partially closed eyes.:)

    3. I usually like fully open eyes best, but for some sculpts, half-closed eyes create a really cool and dramatic expression! Same goes for sculpts that have one eye closed or anything else 'fancy' going on with the eyes ^^
       
    4. It depends on the sculpt but also the character it is going to represent.
      I have two with half lidded eyes that are perfect for their character but otherwise I like open eyed faces.
