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 Elemental Guardian- Knight of Water Claude SID

Jul 27, 2011

    1. If you're breaking your No-SD policy what better guy to do it for than this guy? lol
       
    2. Oooh thanks again jacobean! Those links are real useful, especially since I suck at eye-shopping xD. I've found 12mm to be a real pain to find too, which is a real pain as I want 12mm in my big guys :/

      Well I can completely understand that, Bambu is so gorgeous :D. Claude does seem to be causing mayhem when it comes to people's dolly plans, he's arguably the biggest doll I've bought so far next to my Sard (muuuch bulkier though). I worry he'll dwarf all other SDs that come in with his MANRINESS xDDD :fangirl:

      OMG THIIIIIIS :lol:
       
    3. I just place my order for Claude, I'm so excited. I'm going to try to get him paid off as quickly as possible so I can see him in person. I didn't order any clothes with him though. I'm not really sure what his style is going to be yet.
       
    4. Question for those of you putting our gorgeous Claude on layaway--is the shipping cost part of the total that they calculate for the 1/3?
       
    5. That is a good question actually and one I didn't think of at the time :/
      This thread suggests that the shipping is part of the total when paying the third.
       
    6. I would assume the shipping is part of the 1/3 ... sorry if that bites!
       
    7. tirian they always seem to be cheaper when you can get them from which ever country you live in, then then shipping is next to nothing.

      No worries Akudem!

      Anyone else looking for links? No one is talking int he threads I'm in ;)

      Also about layaway, I thought shipping was also split through the three payments.
       
    8. Oh yes, that's what I meant but didn't quite get it across :sweat
       
    9. I also have a question about the layaway!
      the first payment is 1/3 of the total, but the rests of the payment, do they have to be made at specific times and also be 1/3? or once the first payment is made you can pretty much pay how much and often as you want, as long as the final payment is made withing 3 months?
       
    10. Yes I believe that's the case!
      I made my first big payment of well over 1/3 and then followed up a few days later with a 1/4 payment of what I still needed to pay so that I wouldn't need a 4 month layaway.

      As long as you let them know each time you make a payment and so long as it's paid off before the 3 month mark it's fine and dandy if you make e.g. 5 little payments a month :)
       
    11. Yeeeaaahhhh... I'm afraid I'm going to make the smarter decision and simply enjoy everyone else's Claudes. I just know he'll show up, be adored for a few months, then get neglected. I don't like to neglect any of my dolls!
       
    12. Me too probably. I keep changing my mind because he IS gorgeous but I'm not sure he'd fit here. I wouldn't know What to do with him and having a muscular Guy would be weird for me.But i know that just looking at his adorable smile would cheer me up anytime x3
       
    13. Like I said on your page Lyz, if I didn't have a very specific character in mind, I wouldn't be getting him either. I'm not happy he's an SD but I REALLY want my character and I'm willing to give this a shot ... I admire your self restraint.
       
    14. More power to you Lyzrd! I admire your self-restraint! :lol:
       
    15. Very wise, there's something so sad about a doll that no one has time for. I've had two boxed myself in the past, it made me sad they were placed away without attention. I sold them both though and they have new homes where they can get much more love :)
       
    16. Man, I wish I had self-restraint. O_O IoS is trying to sway me from my Claude with a fancy head, and it is such a struggle to stay focused. D: CLAUDE! T^T

      Yeah, I do feel better when I know my neglected dollies are getting good homes. I also benefit from getting experience with the company and some dollies too. :aheartbea I seem to go through dolls a lot though, I hope my Claude won't feel bad when he comes home and think that I won't like him! D:
       
    17. It's payday. I just dropped my entire paycheck on a layaway downpayment. x_x oi.
       
    18. Waah Myuuchan, are you going to be able to eat still? O_O
       
    19. limited edition doll diets... that is an interesting thought. Certainly tastier than some other diets out there (omnomnom tasty hunks of resin :9)

      ARG this Iple vacation is driving me NUTS *shakes monitor*.

      I won't even be back in Miami (where my doll is shipping) until the 21st so I don't understand why I would want my doll to ship soon anyways. Sigh...
       
    20. Hahaha. XD Yes! No resin-diets for me. My husband pays the bills, I buy the gasoline and pay the medical debts. Anything extra is fun money. :3 This week our gas tanks are full and I'm a month ahead on medical bills, so it lets me drop the extra into the Claude fund! :D

      Besides, Claude is much too nommy to eat up in one sitting.
