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.

Have your dolls hurt you?

Jan 21, 2009

    1. I have been pinched, hit and kicked :XD: Oh and broken nails

    2. My Hound is the primary culprit of pinched fingers. That skin between thumb and forefinger is the worst pinch of all.

    3. I've definitely had joints bite me before, although Asa loves to try to headbutt me. And with that big ol delf noggin he could probably get me pretty good.

    4. One of my boys always pinches me and whacks me, but my thankfully none of my other dolls are as sadistic as him (´;ω;`)
      I always end up hurting my fingers whenever I have to adjust S-Hooks too.

    5. i got a nasty bite from an s hook when i was adding kips to oliver D: yeeeowch! pretty sure i got a broken nail during the same incident.
       
    6. Usual pinches etc.. restringing. Also if you're using fingers to do the heavy pulling I have had the skin literally split in the creases of my bent fingers while pulling. I usually don't notice till I see the blood smeared on the elastic cording. It hurts later.

      The worst striging injury by far was actually restinging an OT antique doll. Needless to say, NEVER... never hold or pull the sting with your teeth. You will regret. I had false front or veneers on the front 2 of my top teeth and I did this. The tension released/slipped suddenly. I clamped down and broke both awkwardly. Doll was ok, but expensive dental bill...

    8. So far I've only squeezed a finger while snapping GuoGuo's head onto her body.
      Wasn't too bad.

    9. Only a scartch on a finger from a very, very tiny S hook for the hands of a 1/12 scale doll.
      For some reason it was a fight to exchange these hands and i went out of it bleeding and with a bent out of shape hook.
       
    10. Yep. Years ago I was restringing a huge doll with fantasy parts. The elastic given was not sufficient and as I was pulling it up it literally snapped off my stringing tool (destroying the tool) and embedded an S-hook into my finger. I had to go to the urgent care to get it removed. I could feel the bump of the end of the s-hook (which was very blunt, btw) pushing under my fingernail.

    11. Since my bigger scale dolls (1/4 and 1/3) are vinyl (dollfie dream) none of my dolls have personally hurt me. All my resin dolls are closer to the 1/5 or 1/6 scale so they can’t do as much damage.
