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

    1. I'm with you, Alice80. I saw those pictures and my mind danced with thoughts of a second Claude in real skin. Homan, the first one was expensive enough though! And with that resin comparison, I am happy my boy is normal skin. Real skin does look too dark for that particular doll for who he's supposed to be. Ohh, but a second honey knight would be so wonderful! ^ ^;;

    2. Ugh. The review makes me want an extra head for mine, so he can have a human form too. :XD:

      Ordering my boy on layaway this weekend if not before -- full set minus faceup, extra hands, and armor/sword brushing. ^^ Layaway will give me time to rearrange my doll cabinet so that he'll fit. ♥

    7. *cry* Won't be able to order him after all :(

      I can only hope that I will be able to get this gorgeous, gorgeous man on the second-hand market some day, and in the meantime I will really enjoy him from afar in all your amazing pictures :aheartbea

    8. When does Iple start creating the dolls on layaway?

      I've heard after the second payment or when it's 50% completed or when it's been fully paid. I've read about Iple informing people that their dolls are ready even before they've fully paid. But I haven't heard anything conclusive, though. Can anyone enlighten me? :o

      asdfghjkl

      Seeing the first Claudes arriving is driving me crazy. :D Must raise the last 25% ASAP!

    11. I have been waffling back & forth on this boy for the past month and a half, and now that the hourglass is running out, I think I have to have him after all! :aheartbea My storage-shelves are already cringing at the prospect of buying another new size of doll who'll need all his own new clothes... *sigh* But that face is just too exquisite! It keeps haunting me. It's a stupendous sculpt.

      I love the way he looks like Mars's big brother but with decidedly less-wholesome plans up his sleeve. I would get him to be my own Mars's big brother, except my Mars is one of those "only-child" sort of dolls, so we will just have to have an uncanny non-family resemblance in the house. ^^ (I already have a Ryan, who isn't related to my Mars either, even though he looks just like him; now there will be all 3 faces with nobody related to each other.)

      I'm thinkin' tawny Realskin with the sooty-eyebrow A faceup.... :chocoheart

    14. Well, I just caved. ^^;;; I ordered a normal skin Claude on layaway, nekkid, with no face-up. (I'm thinking I might go back and add face-up A, though... I dunno.) It's gonna be a hard, long wait. He's so beautiful, and between the review and the new Claudes starting to arrive, I'm dying by inches over here.

    15. That picture on the Iple gallery is GORGEOUS! He is so versatile, he looks amazing in dark wigs and just as awesome in blond. Wow!

    16. Anybody have a link to Lyn's Claude? I keep seeing it being mentioned but no link.....

    18. Lyn's Claude is Realskin, right? (And the one from the DoA thread is normal, it looks like?)

      The resin colours seem to look so different in different lighting, so I'm not that confident. XD But I think that if the one on the Iple gallery Realskin, I will finally make up my mind and go for it.

    19. @Malaryush The one on the Ipleboard is real skin. The one on the DOA thread is normal. :D
