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.

Iplehouse CREAA Doll

Apr 10, 2018

    1. @vermont chick - they're pretty big. but they are even on my Unoa. I wish I could find something in-between Tonner shades which fit the other fashion resins and this particular size. Dollmore glasses are very well made and the faux tortoise is pretty.
       
    2. Very beautiful dolls. I see now where my Rosette love will transfer to :D
       
    3. Hello everyone. Did you see new girl CREAA-J Girl Elysia? Can't wait to see her in official release =)
       
    4. Thanks for the heads up. I forget to check the doll preview pages to see what's coming. Seeing as I currently have no doll money, I hope I won't fall in love with her when they finally show her styled and in color.
       
    5. Same to me =) I still have to pay for one of my new dolls =)
      BUT (!) I truly hope to be able to be a part of split for this doll and to get an outfit =))) *fingers crossed*
       
    6. The new CREAA girl is up! She is absolutely gorgeous.:D The horned and winged version reminds me of Angelina Jolie in Maleficent. The alternate fantasy makeup is beautiful--I only wonder why they combined that one with human ears? If I were buying, I think I'd want the fantasy makeup with the elf eared version. The outfit is basically lingerie, but nicely done in red and black. The whole entry has a distinctly Halloween vibe going on. If I had any doll money I would probably order her. As it is, no money = no doll. I hope someone here orders her so I can enjoy her through your photos.
       
    7. I am SO tempted by these dolls...โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ...I have yet to succumb to one, but I really love the fantasy make up on this new one. Like @vermont chick noted though, if I were to get one I'd have to get the fantasy head with the fantasy makeup. I hope someone here gets one too so I can enjoy her vicariously. I'm afraid if I get the one it will open up a whole can of worms I can't afford to open, lol!
       
    8. @JinCIncy - I already have 3 CREAAs in my collection and wouldn't mind getting a few more. The only thing stopping me is money. They are definitely addictive.
       
    9. That fantasy face-up is flat out gorgeous. I'm very relieved that I don't collect girls.
       
    10. The CREAA ladies have really grown on me. I have spent the afternoon reading through the thread to see about clothing options, pattern options and shoe options for these unique beauties. I really love Leah and the new one/Elysia (well almost all of them).

      Does it seem that the face-ups arrive and are a little on the vibrant side compared with expectations from the photos? I thought I read that more than once in reading the post this afternoon. As much as I like the fantasy one for Elysia I would be a little worried if she arrived and the red was too much.
       
    11. Hmn... I have 5 Creaa dolls. And to me all make-ups look great... Cynthia's and Chloe's are especially good =)
      I hope to get at least horns... but it completely depends on if we can make a split for this doll... :( I truly love her fantasy style...
       
    12. I like the new girl a lot, but those wings are so expensive and splits few and far between. I love my GSR elf Leah which makes me happy with one for now. I'll take a new picture of her. summer was very busy around here.
      hoping someone will get her with faceup and all the extras so we can admire from afar. ;)
       
    13. @LaurieESW - The makeup on my first two girls was pretty much spot on in terms of color. Chloe's fantasy makeup, on the other hand, was much brighter than I expected. It could be the photography, or my computer monitor, that is to blame for the discrepancy. I wouldn't be surprised if Elysia's fantasy makeup does look more vibrant in person. It's possible the red mask might fade over time, ending up more pink than red. The more I look at it the more I find myself leaning towards ordering her, despite my total lack of doll funds. Maybe if I add up the cost with options I'll talk myself out of it... And pigs might fly.

    14. I found that the face-ups for my 2 Iple boys (an FID and Creaa-J boy) are very true to what was shown on the site (they both have default face-ups). I'm also quite happy with them. I think if the fantasy face-up is ordered, you should be prepared for a vibrant look just because of the style/colours used.

      I've only been disappointed in one default face-up and that was on my SD Berial. I am not kidding or exaggerating in the least when I say it looked like he had the worst sunburn in the history of forever. His head was actually blushed so intensely that it was a completely different colour than his body. I got a refund on the price of the face-up from SD and have sent him off to be wiped and re-painted.
       
    15. Thank you all for your feedback. I have always been happy with the face-ups I have received from Iplehouse. Although I typically have gone for natural styles more often than fantasy. My dolls that have fantasy face-ups I have used 'local' artist. I really like the fantasy faceup for Elysia, yet wonder/worry that the red might be too much for me and that pastels (pink/purple) might be a better choice, in the long run. I was already looking the CREAA over, wanting one and then they offer this beautiful lady!!! I believe I am hooked on another Iplehouse line. :roll::chomp:

      @vermont chick Have you had an opportunity to try Evangeline patterns? I saw you had some Ellowyne clothing on your ladies. Would that be an easier way to go, adapting them?
       
    16. I just discovered these beauties! I love seeing everyone's owner photos as well!

      Can anyone tell me what this skin tone is in the second half of the pictures? This tan?
      ITEM VIEW : CREAA-J Boy - Lev_CREAA J

      I really want to get a freckled Zinnia in tan *_*
       
    17. The skintone is special real skin. Iplehouse usually list the resin colors on the face-up photos. If you scroll to the face-up photo for the second set it has 'B Type/special real skin'
      :)
       
    18. @LaurieESW - I haven't tried Evangeline patterns. I want to double check the measurements first but I suspect they might work. A lot depends on the style. I had a vinyl Evangeline for a short time. Now I wish I had kept her clothing when I sold her. I didn't make the Ellowyne clothing my girls wear; they're from Wilde Imagination/Tonner.
       
    19. Thanks, would love to hear what you think about the Evangeline patterns.
      Yeah, I recognized many of the sets. Ellowyne was a doll I collected before BJDs. Such great outfits but also some nice patterns from Designs by Jude, which I still have. I never got into Evangeline as much and do not have many patterns for her.

      BTW, just looking again at the CREAA and see that Iplehouse has all of them, except Psyche, available for purchase. Uh-oh, now that makes the decision a little more difficult.

      EDIT: Elysia's outfit is also available as an order option for any of the ladies, or the fairy outfit with Leah, the witch outfit and broom with Cynthia, or Chloe outfit with Chloe doll; the frog prince outfit when ordering a guy.

    20. Thanks guys! I've been looking through this thread as well - does anyone have any really good body pictures of the female body? I really can't seem to find them on iplehouse's website!
