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. I have received my confirmation and I said okay to the terms of service for ordering from him. I also sent him the money via PayPal but I didn’t see any option for adding a memo with my Instagram and no to recast statement on my invoice. I ended up emailing him the receipt.
       

    2. I guess i'm just kinda nervous? Its my first time ordering from him. So its kinda nerve wracking. Does it appear on the spam folder?

      Thats great. Congrats.:3nodding:
       
    3. Not in my spam folder - I check my email every couple hours tbh and specifically search for his emails and haven't received a new one. He acknowledged my Instagram messages, so I'm just thinking he's busy - or hoping anyway haha
      I'll wait a couple days before contacting him again I think - I don't want to seem too pushy
       


    4. I also check my emails every couple of hours. The 'h' on haru's email is capital H right?
       
    5. I think he’s on vacation/a day off, at the moment. He’s been posting videos of the beach. I’m sure he’ll get to you guys once he’s working again.
       
    6. I figured it was something - my thought process was he's busy, I need to give him time - but like I also said, I'm a bundle of nerves haha I'm also using this as a distraction from something that just happened in my family which is why I'm compulsively checking my email. I already told myself no matter what, to wait at least a few days - the preorder isn't over until the end of the month, there's still plenty of time :)
       
    7. Besides Big Geuru, none of the other girls are quantity limited. So as long as you got it in before the end of the month, you should be good to go. I sent mine the second he opened, and he just sent me the confirmation email plus cost and all that on Saturday morning. So I'm sure it'll just take a minute. Don't worry!
       
    8. I went with Maji so I'm good there haha and I sent mine in a few days after he started the pre orders, I made myself finish a large project first, I'm bad at getting 90% done and abandoning projects haha

      Since he did send the one email, I'm not too worried tbh - I'm excitedly waiting, but then I'll also be excitedly waiting for her arrival. And I requested a faceup, so I know it won't be quick haha

      I have paid for my girl! I'm so excited!

      Well, I clicked to send it, now I'm just waiting for the money to pull out because it wants to take a while haha

      But I'm happy, and now I can obsessively look at wigs and eyes online until I decide on one, and since I have a whole to decide I'm not on any real rush

    9. @VickiBee57 Congrats on ordering a Maji! She’s a wonderful sculpt, I’m sure you’ll love her tons when she does eventually make it home to you. :) :aheartbea Got any specific plans for yours?
       
    10. So far I've planned for her to have a very comfy kinda look, like outfits someone would wear in the fall - however, I know her personality might change after I get her, that happened with my other dolls.

      I do know for her I want her to have very short hair, almost like a pixie cut - every picture I see of others Majis with that hair style are my favorite!

      For now I'm knitting some sweaters/sweater dresses based off the measurements Haru has online, so when I recieve her she won't stay nude haha

    11. I haven't had my E-Minor for very long. A couple of davs ago I wanted to change her clothes. Do you remove her head to change clothes? I took the head off and the hook almost disappeared in her body. It was also very difficult to reattach the head because it was very hard to pull the hook. Do you have any tips for me on how to do this more easily?
       
    12. Some clothes might be able to go from her feet up - like a barbie dress (best example I can give, sorry haha) or a sweater that has a button on the back, at the neck area.

      I've seen people use metal rings, like from keychains, and attach that to the hook when needing to remove heads, helps hold it when pulled and prevents the hook from slipping into the neck
       

    13. Thank you for that tip! I for sure will look for a little ring I could use.
      I thought, I could use the tops from my Minifee, but I guess that will not work :mwahaha
       
    14. If you live near a Walmart, most of them sell a pack of rings for cheap. I think I paid $2 when I got it and it had 50 - which yes, is a lot, but can't beat the price haha
       
    15. How often does he release the girls?
      I love Maji but I am unsure if I should buy her now because I have some other doll expenses adding up and feel like I should be a responsible person and not buy more dolls :sweat
       
    16. :mwahaha I might have to steal a ring from my housekey.

    18. Still waiting on a confirmation email myself. I'm getting antsy haha. Mostly because I am just really excited for these girls and my brain is trying to tell me confirmation will make them come faster :sweat Yes I am aware of how ridiculous that sounds lol
       
    19. Thank you :)

      A question from a harucasting newbie; are the skin colors different for every order round he does?

      I browsed Instagram and decided Maji medium tan would be my choice, but when taking a look at Majis order page again I recognized there is no Maji medium tan :(
      Only Neul medium tan.

      I suppose that isn't the same skin color?

      Also does he have an overwiew of the basic make up possibilities of Maji somewhere?

    20. @Pyoko

      There were colors available that are no longer available.

      The available colors are:
      2021SepPreOrder - @harucasting

      Faceups are done by mayakdolls on IG. Maji doesn't have her own IG Highlight on Haru's page, so you will have to look through his feed for Maji posts and send the picture you like with the order email to know the faceup price. You can also create your own faceup and send a photo of instructions, or search the tag harucastingmaji on IG and send a photo with your order of the face you want to know the price.
