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.

IDealian72 River the Merry Monarch LE

Aug 24, 2011

    1. I'm peeking back in here; glad to see people are keeping the home fires burning for our Merry Monarch! I'm pondering whether I should just pay the guy off already and be done with it ... then I figure I'd have defeated the whole purpose of layaway :lol:

      Great outfit plans you folks have, and it's great we can't have one thread that doesn't mention the word "loincloth"! Littlegreythings: are going to make him one of those 1920s tennis outfits? Those always looked so stylish, but I don't know how people could play in all that fabric! Thank goodness resin can't sweat.

      I believe my king is going to stay his frilly Restoration self more or less full time. Although, I must also admit I've been seduced by Freedom Teller, too. I have the "Your Majesty" outfit on the way, as well as some black oxfords ... so, I could turn my king ... into another king ;)
       
    2. Oh your are getting the "Your Majesty" outfit!!!! Lucky you! I almost ordered it...then I didn't....then I went back on the last day...and it was already gone.:( My wallet is glad...but I wanted it. So you will have to spam yours!
       
    3. bavarica, yes, I am going to make him a tennis (and golf, too) outfit! I just love those knickers ;) Lol, yes it's definitely good that resin can't sweat! I live in the tropics, but almost all of my dolls wear long clothes :) Also, how exciting that you're getting that awesome FT outfit! I can't wait to see your River in it!

      Oh, and did you all see the box opening someone posted of their blank River? I'm in love with him all over again!
       
    4. Hey Luluna: I'm thinking of just having my employer send my paycheques directly to Freedom Teller; as I told another EID fanatic, Freedom Teller will eventually own all our souls ... I will definitely spam the uniform all over the place. It's the closest thing I could find currently to an outfit that a character I have in mind needs to be wearing ....

      Littlegreythings: uber-cool re: golf outfit! I think those are even more snazzy than the tennis ones-indeed, the knickers are too cute. I hope you're going to let us see detailed pics of your work as it progresses. And do you know about the Tuxs (not sure of the plural of that, honestly) that FT will be selling in December? (Aaargh, more soul-owning on their part). I keep thinking of the elegantly gorgeous gentleman you want to recreate from that poster you put up. Everyone start saving ...

      Off to look for that blank River!
       
    5. bavarica, NO????? I so did not know about the tuxes (dunno if this is the plural form either, lol), but I have a premonition that there will be two of them coming here! And how funny, because I was just looking at their suits yesterday trying to figure out if I could make them look a bit dressier. Yay. I think your plan of giving our pay directly to these companies is a good idea :) I will certainly post pictures of the golf outfit as I go! I think they're going to be great fun to make! My EID fella will probably get one, too, so it'll be double the fun!
       
    6. I heard the tuxes were coming...and yes, I might as well divide my paycheck to Freedom Teller and Iplehouse...and Soom.

      I can't wait to see your Golf outfit, Littlegreythings!

      I didn't see the blank River....where?
       
    7. Ooh. I can't find it anymore either? I saw it this afternoon and thought man, without the Soom faceup he does look a lot merrier!
       
    8. Here ya go! I should've posted the link the first time, eh? :)

      navci I agree, he does look a lot perkier blank!
       
    9. Oh thanks for the link. I did look for it...but couldn't find it.
      He does look pleased with himself huh? I like him...though, I don't know what I'm going to do with his faceup. I can't wait for more River's to arrive...let the flood begin. LOL. (I had to say that.);)
       
    10. *cackles* I'm glad you did say it :)

      I love how different sculpts look when they're blank. I was honestly a bit afraid I wouldn't like him in owner pics. He seemed almost too good to be true on the Soom pics. But no worries about that anymore!
       
    11. I like him a lot blank!!! Now I am a bit regreting not having him! XDXD
       
    12. littlegreythings: Is it the first river?? I saw his blank face, and I love his face now> <
       
    13. I think so :) He is gorgeous isn't he? :aheartbea
       
    14. Eek! The best email just showed up in my inbox! River is on shipping, and way earlier than Soom's last estimate! Soom are fantastic! And with my Freedom Teller order on the way, too.... this is great!
       
    15. littlegreythings: WOW, congrat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm looking forward to your river:) Did you order default make up for him?
      [h=3][/h]
       
    16. My River has shipped also! :aheartbea

      Mine does have the default face-up and the works!
       
    17. Wow!:o Two Rivers shipping! Congratulaitons Littlegreythings and Nancy! Make sure you spam him! (Them)
       
    18. He hasn't gotten on a plane yet, so he probably won't land here until Wednesday. With Thanksgiving, I don't know how long it will take for him to clear customs.
       
    19. I can't wait to see this doll in owner pics! Do post a pic here when you get him!
       
    20. Ooh, congrats to you, too, Nancy! Mine also had the default makeup, and the coronation set.

      And not to worry, there will be pictures ;)
