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.

Haru Casting Adori Discussion

      Happy Holidays!
      by Saharali, on Flickr

      Hope this is okay to post here, I don't think there's a thread dedicated to Nanni on her own!
      I definitely wanna start taking my photos of my girl, who is also named Nani ( only 2 ns :XD: )
      Even though it's a bit late, hope everyone is getting into the new year well!​

    2. I'm with you on this @AdanneO, I like Maji but E-Minor is more my taste....I hope it won't be long until she's released!

      @saharali I love how you've styled your sweet little Nani!

    3. Same for me. I actually really like Maji but when E Minor came on the scene she stole the show! I love her grumpy face.
       
    4. Im thinking of getting a regular Geuru this time around. Maji is a bit out of my price range at the moment...
      What eye sizes are yall using for Geuru? Will 14mm fit?

    5. 14mm is too large. I used 12mm with a 10mm iris. He recommends 10-12mm with no or low dome.

      Maji's price point is higher than expected, so I will likely wait until the next ordering period and see if the owner pictures push me over the edge.

    6. I’m in the same camp with the “waiting for e-minor” folks. Supposedly she will be offered late summer/early fall, according to what Haru said on Instagram the other day.

      I really thought about finally buying that second Adori that I promised myself last year, but I think I’m just gonna enjoy the one I have right now. Maybe I’ll feel differently in the next ordering period. Meanwhile, I can’t wait to see all of the new Adori, Nanni, and Geuru dolls all of you get!

      Edited to add: as far as eyes for my Adori and Nanni, I’ve had the best luck with 10 mm low dome eyes. That low dome is more important than I realized at first - even Haru commented on the gappiness of the first pair of eyes (regular dome) I put into Adori.

    7. I have used 14mm, 12mm, and 10mm. The 14's I'm using now are oscar doll eyes and I like how they look. Also Makoeyes in 12mm have a smaller iris than other types of eyes so you may like that size a little better. Like clochette mentioned the lower the dome the better because her eye wells are very flat.

    8. Well, I was just planning on a Maji but at the last minute Adori called out to me and told me her name so I had to order one in milky tan! I hope she is the Yosd who finally 'clicks' cause I love her face <3
      EDIT: PS I blame Samson ;)

    12. Thank you Cyrdil and congrats on your order.
      I'm stuck between Geuru in geuru tan or Haru in black pearl.
       
    13. @saharali - Awwwwww, your girl is so adorable!!!! Where did you find that cute outfit?
       
    14. @Ban Sidhe I would like to say I'm sorry, but I was taught never to lie :XD:

    17. Reviving this thing to see if anyone else is making plans for their new cuties? I've decided my little one is named Alice, and she'll have amber eyes and chocolate-colored hair. Slowly but surely putting together a set of real-kid simple country/mori type dresses too. My girl has a big sister, so I'm thinking she steals shirts too. XD

    18. That sounds so cute Rianne! Theres a huge shortage of mori yosds.

      Im 90% sure my Geuru will be named Lesedi. It means "light" in Sesotho. She is meant to be paired with my IslandDoll dove, Naledi, so she will probably wear mostly whites. Havent decided if she should have a wig yet, she might look good without one since she's ebony:3nodding:
