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

    1. Typically, old Volks resin is a "lot" more yellow in base than new. New Volks is much more pinkish. I can't seem to be able to find a picture of my old SD Ran to demonstrate, though... I'm very sorry. She was a new resin head on an old resin body, and although it didn't bother me since she was almost always well covered up her head was several tones more pink than her body.

    2. That's quite alright. Both of your information was still very helpful. Alas a certain furry minion of mine loves to create box art so the package was thrown away not long after it got here. But I was kind of thinking new Volks already from description I've seen around the internet, so I'll just tell them to go with that or see about mailing them my headcap. Thank you!

      Edit: Harucasting agrees. My body is properly ordered and paid for now. I can't wait to get my Soyong on a proper body and my little Oliver back on his.

    4. I'm happy to say that I have picked up an adorable Adori head from the market place. I'm going to try it on a Happy Time normal pink body and see if it matches.

      I love all the pictures! I fell in love with Adori on Flickr. I have heard everyone talking about Nanni? Can someone post a picture?

    5. No pictures of Nanni yet from what I've seen. (There is one picture of Nanni around Adori's age, and then a more recent older one on their tumblr.)

      And to add to the Adori picture pile: Still working on this little munchkin's wig and then to paint her.

    6. It is not a picture of the doll but prototype is as cute as Adori. I guess they will release her on a YOSD body too. I wonder who sculpts for them? I like how both heads were sculpted. I'd like too buy more sculpt of that author. :chibi:love:D

    7. Haru, Adori's dad sculpted Adori and the body as far as I know.

    9. Than you Swampruler and Mirror_ada, I look forward to seeing her! She's precious!

    10. I had a dream that my Adori arrived, but alas, I have to have a little more patience. Meanwhile, I got her wig, eyes, outfit and shoes ordered. She finally has a name too. Hopefully the doll will take it. :p

      Meanwhile I enjoy owner pics on flickr, tumblr and doa. ;)

    11. Aww that's sad ! It won't be too long now though - I need to get my act together ! My new Adori has a name, few clothes no eyes no wig !

      My other Adori, Bae is patiently waiting for his new playmate

    12. The eyes I ordered for my Adori have arrived, and I've put aside a little set of clothes for him. Now to wait!

    13. I do hope Haru opens up another order period in June like he mentioned. I missed out on getting Adori this time but I'd at least like to get either head (I would adore smiling). The sculpt is precious and ironically also perfect for my still-coming Doll Leaves doll. His character has a son who would be perfect shelled with Adori.

    14. My Adori has been stuck awaiting customs clearance in the UK for 9 days now :( Getting so peed off. Want my boy home!

    15. Argh customs are so aggravating !!! Hopefully not too much longer now though Lucy ! Are you getting Sally to paint this face plate too ?
       
      #95 samson, Mar 9, 2016
    16. I got my Adori head, now just awaiting the body I got for him....30-40 days per the website. Maybe I should send his cute little head off to the spa while I'm waiting. That may be a good use of my time.

      Princesspetal, I'm so sorry your little one got stuck in customs.

    19. My Smiling Adori head and Version 2 Adori body came this week! So thrilled with them! I've just sent the smiling head off today to get a faceup to match my normal Adori head (they will be the same character).

      I put a box opening and 2 part review up on my blog if anyone is interested.

      Box Opening & First Review:
      Box Opening: Haru Casting Adori

      Second Review:
      Adoring Adori

      Also, Haru told me that the Nanni body will be chubbier than the Adori body. I wonder if she will also be shorter then as he said the Nanni doll will be based off that photo of Nanni when she was a toddler? That will be SO cute!

    20. Congratulations! Thank You for review, it was very helpful.
      So Nanni will be chubbier than Adori, huh? Can't wait to see her.
