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.

    1. I know for a fact I have to be saying it wrong which is why I never bother to say the name out loud. I pronounce it like nuts except with an L hence Luts.
       
      #281 TsukiKyou, Aug 7, 2009
    2. Leekeworld- Leak-World (gotta find me a plumber XD)
      Luts- Luh-ts (Nuts with an L)
      Bobobie- Boh-Boh-Bee
      Unoa-You-know-uh
      Iplehouse-Eye-pull-house
      Soom-Doom with an s
      Lishe-Leash
      Yder-YAH-DUR
      Dollkot-Doll-cot (like epcot, or apricot)
      Bambicrony-Bam-buh-crow-knee
      Migidoll- Mih-Gee-doll
      Homme-Home-ee (Like hey homeys!)
      Volks-Vole-ks
      Puki-Poo-key
      Puki Pipi-Poo-key-Pee-pee (I laugh at myself when i say it XD)

    3. I pronounce:

      Luts = "loots"
      Soom = "soom" like "doom"
      Bobobie = Bo-Bo-Bee
      Iplehouse = "EE-plhouse"
       
      #283 Pushka, Aug 28, 2009
    4. This thread is purely amazing, hearing people compare the brands to miscellaneous words.

      Soom = again, like 'zoom' or 'doom'
      Luts = L-uts, like 'nuts' or... hahaha, like another user mentioned 'butts' or 'guts'
      Iplehouse = Ip-pull-house, like... kind of like hippo, with an L in there somewhere
      Minifée = mini fay (é as in café? So é = a? So fée = fae? fae as in faery? faery as in fairyland?)
      Unoa = yoo-no-a (you know a'! like Italian accent-a!)
      Bobobie = bo-bo-bee (like little bo peep, or... bobobo-bo-bobobo)
      Migidoll = mee-gee doll
      Leekeworld = Leek (like food-plant) world

      There's not much debate about Volks, is there? I say it almost exactly like you'd say "Volkswagon" with German-esque accent.

      Man, this whole pronunciation thing really came up at a minimeet. She said I-pull-house, I said Ipple-house, something like that. Some of these pronunciations are just... great. XD
       
      #284 aikohaku, Aug 28, 2009
    5. Luts: l-uh-ts
      Iplehouse: Eye-pull-house (purely because there is that "e" after the one "p" where as words like "nipple" have two so I can't justify saying it as "ipple"house)
      Unoa: Oo-no-uh
      Leekeworld: Leak-world
      Bobobie: Bo-bo-bee
      Soom: Soo-m (like zoom or broom)
      Minifee: Mini-fay
       
      #285 psstguesswhat, Aug 28, 2009
    6. This is mine:

      Luts: lutz, like klutz, butts, or guts.
      Iplehouse: Eye-pull-house.
      Unoa: Yoo-no-ah
      Leekeworld: Leek-e-world
      Bobobie: Bo-bo-bee
      Soom: Sew-m (Like if you sew something, but with an m at the end.
      Soo-Hyun (Souldoll): Sew - huun.

      HZ is one I just don't even try to pronounce, since it confuses me. @____@

    17. lol this thread is epic, I also feel stupid saying companies names cause I feel like I'm saying it wrong XD I've always said Luts like "Fruit Loops" except with at T an S.

      Also how do you say Crobidoll's Ys doll? XD
      like "wise?"
      or why s? lol

      At first I didn't know how to say Bobobie and felt weird saying it cause in spanish "Bobo" means stupid or dumb XD and that's the main language where I live so I tried not to say it out loud, now I really don't care XD

      And how do you say Leeke World? the world part I get, but is Leeke like "Bruce Lee"? or the french word "le" Le ke world
