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.

illusiongarden Doll Discussion

Sep 11, 2017

    1. Poking my head here. I am trying to find a body for my boy. I had him on an April Story Senior Body but I am growing out of love with that body and want to find something similar. What have you guys put your heads on?

      I saw someone put one on TD and SD17 in this thread. :D Would love more suggestions!

      I did see the thread posted here too. https://denofangels.com/threads/illusiongarden_doll-bane-and-some-70-bodies.756294/#post-12386416

      Just looking for more 65cmish. I am wondering the resin comparison between Luts because that is an option for me. I like the Luts aesthetic so something similiar. I may consider 2D Doll too but again skin comparison is needed.
       
    2. My guy is on a Switch Humming Dolly body. It was from 2014 so a bit older, but fortunately not yellowed. Ended up being almost a perfect match, and I like the style. Switch bodies tend to be a bit expensive though and hard to find, but they do also have their monthly ordering period so you could always grab a new one if that's the route you chose! I think Illusion Garden has also stated that Popodoll is compatible as well.
       
    3. Thank you! I was trying to look on their website/blog to find more info but I wasn't finding where that info was.

      Switch is definitely out of my price range. I had my boy on April Story Senior Boy Body but I don't like it too much. I'm sure Switch's engineering is better but they do have the similiar aesthetic.

      Oh my god! If Popo works, would it be their normal yellow? Because I had planned to get 2D Doll body for him instead and I just read today Popo doll casts their body for them in their resin colors. :D
       
    4. I only have Normal Skin heads from this company, but I'd like a WS one but was hoping for one that matches my Fairyland WS body which is a pretty good match for a Soom head of mine. Does anyone know which of those two white skins that they offer are more of a match for Soom WS? Thanks!
       
    5. It looks like Unicorn Yuli is being re-released.

    6. I really want to own an illussion garden head, but it’s really hard to get. My order has never got through. Now I give up for even trying.

    7. I finally managed to actually get a head! I have two Illusion garden heads, one that I got 2nd hand, and one that I won with a face-up in a lottery, but I have not gotten directly from the company before. I was wondering if anyone knows if they are definitely as strict as they say about being able to change an address later. I am in the process of looking for a new place, but I can't say when that will happen that I'd actually move. I just hope they will be understanding, or I'll just have to try to get the post office to re-route when the time comes if they will :/ That's my only complaint about this company. Even big kickstarters make sure that addresses are confirmed before sending...just in case!

    8. Oooh that is so exciting! Congrats. I really wanted to go in for another but the faceup artist who did mine is taking a break, and I wanted them to match haha.
      I would honestly email them now and let them know of your potential circumstance. I would hope that if you alert them in advance, and considering the pandemic, that they would be understanding of people's situations.

    9. Or have it sent to an address that you know it will be safe until you finish the move, like parents or friends.

    10. @Azurielle the problem is they said it can't be changed at all and I was trying to do the form quickly to get a head at all since they sell so fast. My family is not really reliable either. My mom is sickly and far away from me now and my sister just moved and who knows if that will last, and my good friend I thought about asking is possibly going to have to move. I think I will just have to see what they say if it happens and also if they won't fix it, I'll have to contact the PO and make sure forwarding can happen.
       
    11. Lol. Send it straight to Angeltoast. ;)

       
    12. Haha good idea!!
       
    13. Anyone know what resin types might be good matches to the illusion garden 2017 white skin resin?
       
    14. Hi, there. Forgive, please, the crass question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere on instagram or the webpage. Admiring this artist and wondering whether or not I can afford to put in the effort to try and get one of the heads, as they seem to disappear so fast. How much do they usually cost?
       
    15. You can find the price on their website: illusion_GardeN 일루젼가든 : 네이버 블로그
      Just click "order" section or the doll picture(it will goes to the doll's detail page) and scroll down, you will see the price section.
       
    16. Thought I tried that, but found it this time. Thanks!

    17. You're welcome!
       
    18. I'm currently waiting for my Devil Hades - Reveal head to arrive, I'm so excited! Fingers crossed that Illusiongardens pale blossom skin colour will be a good match for my Volks fair skin bust. I'll post an update here once the head arrives!

    19. My Devil Hades - Reveal head just arrived today - the sculpting is amazing, especially his teeth have a lot of depth. And yes, he's a 99% perfect match for my Volks bust in fair skin from 2020. :3nodding:Though his face looks paler in the photo because of the heavy face-up!
      Photo under the cut.

      There's just one problem... his head is significantly smaller than my other Volks heads xD Does he usually wear an 8-9 wig or can anyone recommend specific wigs/shops for him?
