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.

    1. That makes me slightly sad there wont be a standard Ashanti :( She's absolutely gorgeous and I want her so bad but I don't have the money to get her right now.. Hopefully they'll do another limited release of her (like they do with the RS EID boys) and I can get her then.

    2. I'm so happy Asa will be Yes, she will be available in basic version, I really love her but I don't have the money for her right now.

    3. :(:dohI know I won't have the money to get Ashanti.....I guess her color is hard to produce and probably is not all the way thru the resin.

    4. I am just floored by these girls, Iplehouse has done it again! :aheartbea They are both so beautiful and they have just the right level of realism. I shan't be getting either, as I am waiting for something in SID size, though I can't wait to see these lovelies in the gallery. Honestly, I am surprised they are not more popular!

    5. as much as I like Asa, this definitely convinces me that I can't pass on Ashanti.

    6. Thanks, Monica! I am going to put her on layaway this week. She will be my bday gift to me. RachelG ordered an Asa, too. I wish I could get both of them.

    7. That's great news D! I think Ashanti is gorgeous but I can't spring for both of them. I wanted Asa because she is the closest so far in looks to Tala.

    9. It is tru that the tan color is not all the way thru the resin. My kamau has a deep scratch on the internal elbow joint, and you can see the lighter color underneath. However, let me help put your fears at ease. I've had my kamau since the first shipments were released. He's never been really scratched in any way that damaged him. He occasionally gets minor scuffs, but the tanning layer is relatively thick, so damage would have to be pretty extensive to reveal the lighter color underneath. Her jointsa aren't going to wear down, revealing the lighter resin.

    10. Oh, yes, Asa in standard colours! That's sad about Ashanti, though. I think she would have looked interesting in normal/white skin, but alas, no such luck. I feel sorry for those who can't afford Ashanti right now.:( Hopefully there'll be another release?

    11. I melted when I saw Ashanti. She's absolutely gorgeous! Iplehouse impresses and saddens once again...

    12. I love Ashanti so much! I really hope they re-release her! Otherwise, I might have to sell one of my other dolls to just barely afford the first layaway payment!

    13. I want Asa so bad but wonder will they do her in NS or is this a LE for the face too?
       
      #153 animemom, Mar 17, 2010
    14. Ok, just have to douple check this... Will these girls come with the high heel parts or do I have to order them separately? Just got confused as it says on the sale page "heel parts add". What does that mean?

      I already ordered Asa and can't wait to get her. EID body is so beautiful.

    15. I think they did a realskin release version of Kamau. We might be lucky and they will at least do that again.

    16. And they've just put up a different RS edition of Kamau, which looks quite terracotta compared to their previous examples of tan.
      So we may see different tones of Ashanti in the future :)

    17. the "heel parts" will come with the doll..... you do not need to add them....

    18. Miss Ally, thank you for the answer! :D

      I'm too hoping that Ashanti would be back on sale sometime in the future. I like her too, but I might like her even more with little lighter skin. Something like Kamau has now, something between dark tan and real skin.
       
      #158 AnnieStar, Mar 18, 2010
    19. Oh wow, I just saw that light brown Kamau, and I would LOVE Ashanti in that tone, although I'm still thinking of getting her now. I can see Asa being gorgeous in standard skin tone, so I don't feel pressured with her, but Iplehouse is killing me with Kamau and Ashanti being available right now! We need to start a petition to get brown skin as a basic choice, I'm freaking out over what to do right now!!!
       
      #159 Kyrie, Mar 18, 2010
    20. I could see Ashanti with Brown Skin looking lovely too, I doubt that it would be a basic choice if they are having a hard time doing the darker tan as is.
