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.

How do you pick a doll? The company faceup or the blank sculpt?

    1. I know I should look at the blank sculpt and kind of imagine all the possibilities. But to be honest, I know I'm just gonna end up deciding based off of company face up because I'm too lazy to do the faceup myself and too impatient to have one custom painted. Maybe one day in the future I'll change my ways, but...well. Here we are.

    2. For me it is about the blank sculpt, and then off that sculpt I try to figure out in my head if I can use my idea. If not I pass it.

    3. I'm usually drawn in by the company faceup first! It's difficult for me to picture possibilities off a completely blank sculpt, so the company faceup helps me get an idea of how the features come together. From there I'll look more closely at details like nose and lip shape, eye angle, brow ridge, etc. and determine how well they match up to the character I have in mind.

    5. The company face-up sometimes grabs my attention, but I think the decision definitely comes down to whether I like the blank sculpt or not.
