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 finally caved and ordered him last week. That face was too irresistible :)

      I also ordered the coronation set... Won't he be fancy right out of the box... in nothing but a robe and a crown... Yum. ;)

      Luluna, I like your description of him. I think that's exactly it. Quietly marvelous.

    2. I would have loved the coronation set but couldn't find someone to do a split. Or rather the one person who was hosting a split also wanted the set! LOL

      That's the way the cookie crumbles...

    3. Congrats to you, littlegreythings! I can't wait to see him. I am wondering if he may have a 1920s flair, given your avatar. Yum-- my favorite era!

    4. Thanks! And lol, how'd you know? This is what I have in mind for him :)

      I love dressing my dolls in vintage styles and the Deco era is by far my favorite. River is going to be such fun to do up. Now just to find the perfect little jazz baby for him...

    5. I'm currently building an art deco set for my guys and girls, so we'll have to share at some point!

    6. I bet that'll look great, especially with an Idealian or two draped around :) I'd love to be able to do something like that for mine one day.

    7. Oh yeah! You got him and the outfit. And in looking at the illustration you posted he has the same nose as the guy in the picture. I can't wait to see a Deco River....A quietly marvelous Deco River...;)

    8. [sneaking in from the other Waiting Room] So, is it only littlegreythings and myself who will admit to buying this gorgeous piece of resin? Right now I feel like I should wear a big red "I" on my t-shirt as I've been ultra faithful to Iplehouse ... until now :lol:

      At the risk of being boring, mine will be staying in his Restoration outfit, as it's the main reason I had to have this guy. Ironic, as it's not a time frame I know all that much about; I have more invested with dad (Chuck I) due to studies and courses than Chuck II.

    9. Bavarica...I'm doing my best to get one! He is just so lovely and the outfit is so special, it is not to be missed, if you have any desires for anything historical. It's just too cool!

      And I have lots of Iplehouse in my house and I find the Idealians are a great match. Lot's of "I's" here too. LOL.

    10. I desperately wanted him, but I'm already committed to two layaways, and I couldn't justify the expense of buying him as a fullset, which is what I wanted :...( Congratulations to everyone who is getting this majestic hunk of resin
       
      #90 Ishtar, Sep 14, 2011
    11. Same here. I am certain I will regret not buying him, but it really wasn't by choice. I'm also committed to two layaways, and dear hubby has temporarily reached his limit for huge resin men (4 IDs here or on the way).

      Congrats to those of you who did order! I am sure many of us will be drooling come box opening time!
       
      #91 sakuraharu, Sep 14, 2011
    12. luluna, me too either! My friend brought over her newly arrived Gluino yesterday and I'm really twitterpated now... And yay! I'm not the only one who sees the resemblance!

      bavarica Congrats on your order, too! And can you pass me a red 'I', too? Up until River I was totally unswayed by Idealians. I'm so excited to see the outfit on your guy! I really wanted it, but I know my guy wouldn't have worn it much.

      Also, wow @sakuraharu ... four? Where will you and hubby live, lol! They will make one hell of a photoshoot when they're all home!
       
      #92 littlegreythings, Sep 14, 2011
    13. OK, I admit to having ordered River (full set) also! I have a few Iplehouse dolls but I have no shame about my recent orders being from Soom!
       
      #93 nancy_schroeder_ca, Sep 14, 2011
    14. All: There were so many amazing dolls out late this summer than I can well understand people being bound to other layaways and commitments and not able to get River! I was torn in three huge, expensive directions myself this month alone. This is my first full set, and if you'd have told me I'd spend this much even 6 months ago, I'd have laughed myself sick after passing out a few times for dramatic effect.

      luluna: yes, it was the historical that got me, and got me good. I see you have a Claude on order; I managed to snag his clothes and armor in a split. So, there will be a king and knight in the house, but not from the same historical period :lol:

      littlegreythings: echoing luluna; can't wait to see a Deco River!

      and congrats to nancy_schroeder_ca, too. Good to hear: no shame in mixing and matching!
       
      #94 bavarica, Sep 15, 2011
    15. I ordered the fullset River also. He's on layaway so it will be a long wait.
       
      #95 abbie, Sep 15, 2011
    16. Nice to see that others have ordered this gorgeous guy! I was kind of surprised that no one had seemed to!

      So, congrats to nancy_schroeder_ca and abbie!

      bavarica, thanks! I'm really excited to see what I can do with him. He's also going to be my first default-from-company faceup, because I think part of his Deco charm for me is in that faceup :) So yeah... the days can't pass fast enough, lol! Need this guy home!
       
      #96 littlegreythings, Sep 15, 2011
    17. After thinking I finally bought the king, would like to know how many people purchased the river
       
      #97 emmafangfang, Sep 21, 2011
    18. Might be talking to myself here ;) but I paid off River yesterday! Now it's time to settle in for the long wait...
       
      #98 littlegreythings, Oct 4, 2011
    19. Congratulations! You're not alone! We're just waiting quietly!
       
      #99 nancy_schroeder_ca, Oct 4, 2011
    20. Not alone at all!
      Over the weekend I made my second payment on him....so I'm here for a long while.
