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.

Invaders!!

Jun 7, 2010

    1. Great stories guys! Keep 'em coming!
       
    2. I have an invader. When I bought my first doll, Moswen (AoD tanned Chi), it was during a free head event and I selected a normal-y Min head (that was to be Moswen's lover, Kijika). I got Moswen and was (and still am) thrilled to pieces with him. The Min head... I was sent it in tan. That wouldn't work and after some back and forth with AoD, I got the correct skin tone. AoD also said I could keep the tanned Min head.

      The Min ended up refusing to be Kijika (who later was shelled wonderfully in the AoD/LE Doll Adonis) and decided that he was actually Moswen and Kijika's son, Jaiseki. Jaiseki is just perfect, but I had this blank tanned Min head with no idea what to do with it. I put it up for sale as I didn't want two Min's and kept it in a box and really thought no more of it. Until....

      I'd been having some issues with Kijika's eyes. I'd bought them when I was still trying to stuff him into the Min sculpt (and which they looked amazing in). When I changed those eyes out of sheer frustration to a pair I'd gotten with another doll, Kijika suddenly owned the Adonis sculpt. But I had no doll for the really cool eyes I loved. Unless....

      I popped them into the blank tanned Min and as soon as I did that, I knew who the tanned Min was. He was Etireh, a half-dryad from a story was writing. I snatched up a wig that was supposed to be another doll's default (Kys likes his fur wig better *sigh*) and plunked it on Etireh and it was just perfect. So, I now have a character I NEVER planned on as a floating head. I need to get him a body and his lover, but now I can't ever imagine selling him.
       
    3. Polly was my invader. A school head B I had no intention on making into a doll. I got her primarily so I could practice face-ups. She came with volks basic eyes and a wig. I really didnt care for her sculpt. I sold the wig and eyes and well messed around with her a bit.

      About a week later I just happened to look at her on my computer desk, oddly the name "Polly" came to mind. On a spur of the moment whim, I started redoing her faceup with that name in my head. Then suddenly I looked at the finished face up and found myself oddly thinking. "Wonder what she would look like with a body?" I ended up buying a second hand DD2 body, getting a blond wig and new eyes for her. Once I put it all together .. there she was.

      To date she is my most "FUN" doll and has the best personality. She isnt based on anyone, she became herself. I nicknamed her Genesis.
