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 EID and SID Discussion Part 16

    1. Jill in WV has it mostly right ... the 'not theme' dolls/sets are what they put under the 'Iplehouse Limited Doll' section, but they have been modeled to sort of fit in with the current 'theme' also. but they are found in the limited section.

      Carved Heritage is a bit of a special case... it had one complete run that technically ended with 'BANE' but they decided to continue the popular theme in a second run beginning with VERA.

      The Theme series are a bit more 'story' driven for characters. (Personally I think the Opera set should have been a theme). But they are continuing to develop their 'style' at IH... They are a company that is evolving and if you really look at the different 'theme' sets you can actually see it happening. The first ones were not nearly as developed as the CH series is now ^^. I think this is why even ppl who are not interested in the CH dolls as full sets are able to enjoy the progression of the story.

      And like Jill said... just replace the words 'coming soon' with 'out of stock will replenish soon'.... only soon can sometimes take a while ;p ... it's a stock status label.

      The only 'hints' you get are in the theme story pics.... the four new outfits were shown in Marien's story before they came out... it was the same with many outfits showing in the previous series dolls stories before they were released... (IH got faster this time letting the outfits out lol). When you see and outfit in a dolls story that you can't find in regular stock (and they mix parts of older outfits so those don't count)... those are likely going to be coming out later ^^. (sue me... 'that' is the part I live for lol).

      you should go to the IH site and check out the 'about IH' links and such... it's interesting and can help you understand/see the changes more clearly...

    3. *looking at 'boys doll cuby/shelf'* Oh I am soooooo with you on this one LOL

      And if Bliss doesn't have the double boob thing... I'ma wait for my girls body a bit longer ^^. I saw a Teeny Gem that is to die for >< and a perfect friend for Enyu... maybe...I hate limited offers >< the choice is so hard to make...

      BUT Princesspink has found out the next resin bullet to our wallets is a SID man! (is safe from doll... will see about the outfit later lol,)

    4. I'm a bit curious what the reduced price on the CH dolls means... I've loved Bliss since she was released and came to the conclusion that she might work for my mermaid character ;3; This event might be a good (if not the last) chance to get her straight from Iplehouse with the options that I prefer... Really shouldn't be buying more dolls at the moment, but I might not be able to resist this one >3< She probably would make it home during the summer so I could get some lovely mermaid in the nature photos <3 We'll see...

    5. Oh man safir if you did that I totally want to see the pictures!!

    6. So I guess I'm more or less waiting for a light brown Marien now :XD:
      As soon as I saw her pictures I wanted her for one of my characters, but I was bummed out they didn't offer her in light brown. But I ended up having her ordered through the Doll Choice instead thanks to a friend. My friend wanted the outfits. I'm really excited :D

    7. Safir she would be so cute! I love the mermaid so much in her cartoon form :D

    8. Now that you mentioned it, I checked all the female CH character sales pages and saw that Scarlet is the only one available in Light Brown without having to go through Doll Choice. I was guessing it has something to do with her occupation, but Bliss and Marien also sail the high seas - probably to a lesser extent?

      I'm being anal again. XD

    9. Ember got a new wig so I had some fun styling it. I'm not used to her with long locks but she can pull anything I swear. I'm working on replacing a few of her Iple wigs since they're about 2 years old and getting trashed.

    11. I took the plunge as well and ordered me a Lawrence while he was still available...mega impulse buy, but I'm certain I'll not regret it *^^*
      So I'll be sticking around here and hoping to learn lots of stuff ;D

    13. Leo looks wonderful, taecelle. Did you do his faceup your self? By the way, I love that outfit you have on him....I have two of them. (The pants are linen and they are lined.)

    14. Which eye size looks best in Lawrence for a realistic look? It says 10-12 mm on IH page, but I'd like to know what you guys have learned from experience :)
       
      #434 Kurisu, May 11, 2015
    15. 10mm for a realistic look. I just received my Lawrence in Real Skin (I originally had him in Light Brown) and took some pictures of him in his Dollbakery 10mm eyes. You can see his album here where there are some better pictures of him in 10mm Dollbakery and Safrin Handglass eyes 10mm. https://www.flickr.com/photos/animerockstar/sets/72157647500999833

    17. This thread is ridiculously quiet. Anybody see the new EID lady items on the Iple site?
       
      #437 luckeegurl36, Jun 12, 2015
    18. Yeah but we all squeed about them in the waiting room and on the photo thread. XD

    19. Oh. Not expecting anyone so I missed that.

    20. The All IpleHouse Larger Dolls thread is where it's at -- I wish the mods would merge this one into that one, because it gets confusing and repetitive to have to follow so many threads about the same company! *_*

      And I *love* the new outfits -- most are a must-have for me!!

      -- A :)
