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.

      Thank you for your time."
       
    2. Has there been any mention whether these sculpts will be still offered or not through the doll choice system?
       
    3. I suspect you would have to ask Iplehouse that on their Q&A.
       
    4. Sometimes companies stop selling things that are not popular any more. But I've never thought Ryan stopped being popular. He is one of my favorite Iple molds ever ((

      Has anyone asked Iple on board about the molds availability through DCS?
       
    5. :?What do they mean by "new body"?
       
    6. Information asked using QA board

       
    7. Thank you, Adalwolf!

      Now I wish someone translated that for me further, lol. Does that mean that Theo, Kamau and Yur will be later reintroduced as renewed EIDs? That's what I understand from #1, but then it conflicts with #2.
       
    8. No. It means they will be discontinued indefinitely. Basically discarding the sculpts that are unpopular. Some if the older sculpts were offered in old bodies, whatever that means.
       
    9. I believe it refers to the fact that some of the dolls on the older bodies were still being sold to get rid of old stock. They are selling these through the auction I think and there are 3? boys being sold on the new body still when you look in the sections.
       
    10. The EID bodies were updated last year. Iple still has a few old body EIDs in stock and will continue to sell them after the discontinue date until they sell out. That's why some of the EID boys are marked at a discounted price. At least that is my understanding.

      Edit: Oops. Raven beat me to it!
