Thank you for your time."
Has there been any mention whether these sculpts will be still offered or not through the doll choice system?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
