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 Mini Dolls - Part 2

Feb 17, 2020

    1. Yes, Maji - with her extras. She's one of the top ones on my wishlist - I already have a plan on how I'm going to attempt styling her and what clothes I want to make her! I don't remember if I actually said it before haha

      Maji and Joa are my two top ones, with a couple others following those on my list

    2. Oh lovely. She’s a beautiful sculpt. What color are you planning on ordering her in? That’s one of my favorite things about Harucasting: all the different shades he offers :D
       
    3. I think medium tan or mild tan (using one of his old pictures of all of his colors for reference) but I'm not sure - there's so many beautiful tones I want, I think each girl I get from him will be a different color just so I can enjoy them all haha

    4. My Maji is in mild tan. I sort of wish I had ordered medium tan for her, though. Tans are so hard to photograph. You really don’t know how light or dark they’ll be til you see them in person.

      My super dark girl from another artist, that was cast by Harucasting, photographs WAY lighter than she is, for some reason, unless I have her in very specific lighting conditions.

      I also get all my dolls from him in different colors. lol. My only exception to that is my E-Minor, who is the only one I bought secoundhand, so I didn’t have much choice that she was the same color as my Big Geuru. :sweat
       
    5. Ah I didn't think of that - I'm already not too good at taking pictures haha like they come out, but lighting is usually weird for me

      I'll probably look at some pictures of her that people have on Instagram and see how theirs look and if they say what color it is - that'll help me decide I think

    7. If you search hashtags like #majimildtan Haru and some others have pics tagged. (Maybe including me? I can’t remember. Lmao)

      Some colors that won’t work quite right for, like #peachnormal

      and you’re welcome @Manamori
       
    8. I clicked on some of his tags on his comparison picture (the one with doll legs) but I was going to just click on Majis tag then see which of those I gravitate towards most and work from there haha that'll be my wind down thing I do tonight when settling down. I'm hoping I decide soon, since the preorder is only a few days away (I know it's a month long, I want to be able to email and solve any issues I may have and still leave time to still get the doll if I can)

    9. Does anyone know if all harucasting msd dolls wear 12mm or 14mm eyes?
      I’m trying to prepare for the doll I’ll be ordering ^^
       
    10. Both my Maji and my Geurim wear 12mm.
       
    11. Hi everyone!
      This is my first time trying to participate in a Harucasting preorder. I say "trying" because I sent in an order form for Big Geuru and I have no clue if I'll actually be able to get her or not. I requested NeulMediumTan for the color.

      If I'm not successful in getting Geuru, I'm waffling between Wind and Morae. They are both beautiful but I'm not sure who will better fit with my collection. Currently my 1/4 scale dolls are DoDollsDream Clementine Lily and Dust of Dolls Roze Heln.
       
    12. Good luck with Big Geuru! Between Morae and Wind, I think Morae would be complement your current dolls nicely. Either would really, but that would be my choice :)

    13. Thanks for your advice! I think I agree. Wind is beautiful but her face is a lot more mature than my current girls.

    14. I wish I could order them all! But I just started with Morae, but if my situation changes I will get another.
       
    15. Yeah, he released so many cuties all at once in this preorder. It was definitely hard to choose! Too bad I'm not rich!

    16. I really wanted to get Big Geuru for a long time, but with all the different options, I'm not so sure! I'm kind of anxious since Big Geuru is limited .... if I wait too long to make a decision I definitely won't get her lol.

      But wind is SO pretty!!! And then Smile Maji.... Ugh :sweat too good... Any opinions on who from this run would look best as friends with Joa? (I have her in Joa Dark Tan).

      Also if I do get one, I'm going to film a box opening so if anyone wants to see a box opening of someone in particular that could sway me too :kitty2
       
    17. I’ve also really wanted a Big Geuru, but my eyes are set on wind for this preorder. I’ll wait for the Big Geuru preorder next year. I also asked Haru about my feedback situation and I hope I can still order one.
       
    18. I have both sizes in mine. It depends how much white you want showing in their eyes.
       
    19. The only feedback I have anywhere is about 50 reviews etsy (spanning 4ish years ), my moms ebay I used years ago (so any recent reviews are her), and Facebook marketplace for yarn - non of mine is doll related, I don't own a BJD yet, and he said I'm fine. I messaged him on Instagram and he answered very fast like he always does.

      He seems lenient as long as you're friendly and have some doll history (I have a doll Instagram that's a few months old) :)
       
    20. I sent an email order for Maji, both heads, on a Joa body.
      The knee info scares me or I would've gotten the Maji body, but this is officially (hopefully) my first bjd so I went with safe
