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.

In love with a discontinued sculpt

    1. Me too! And especially after the hype for the movie died down, it's been so difficult to find anything cute for him. They did a beautiful job on him and the price really reflects all the beautiful details.

      They did! It was so niche I didn't think anyone would know the series. He looks sooo pretty, I've seen owner pics and fawn over them. :love

    3. I was out of the hobby for a good while and recently came back to finish my Four Sisters hoard. But I've recently found out that the F-03 mold been discontinued in 2015. :(

      They still release it as a limited release occasionally for events which keeps me hopeful! A natural one was at the recent Osaka Dolpa Party! Unfortunately no proxy I know attended leaving second hand as the only option. ;( I've always wanted this sculpt in tan and another in natural as I already have it in white. Finding it secondhand in tan might be next to impossible as I've only ever seen two posted online since I've been in the hobby and they were not for sale. ;(

      I'm not sure which is worse; wanting a limited edition sculpt or one that's been discontinued? Lol

    4. I was able to finally get one beloved discontinued sculpt (a very limited Luts BabyDelf Daisy Elf) on the secondhand market. But there’s one I will never have, that gorgeous hunk of huge beefcake resin, Iplehouse Luo. He’s long discontinued now, and every time I see one, I still sigh. But alas, I could never come up with a character to suit that sculpt or warrant the size, so I just continue to love him from afar.

    6. Discontinued dolls depress me in a way that limited editions don’t.

      My wishlist has always far exceeded any feasible plans, or even what I’d want in a collection. Too many dolls would be overwhelming for me. Still, when a doll I love is in production, I can still enjoy it vicariously when someone else gets it. It can make waiting room threads fun even when I am not waiting for a doll myself, to give an example.

      Once a doll has been it’s discontinued, there are far fewer chances of seeing someone get happily excited over it. There’s a much stronger sense of loss over too, I dunno how to explain it.
