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. I woke up strangely early for a saturday morning. while half asleep, I grabbed my Iphone and went on DoA. I only read a few key words through the post: :D, back, ordered, etc. so I jumped out of my bed, ran downstairs and opened my computer! (my dad, who sleeps downstairs, think I'm crazy xD ). I placed my order but I have to wait for my mom to wake up before making the payment :)


      titania: depends, what skin color are you getting him? I think red would be a super gorgeous color no matter, though :D


      lol, indeed!! xD <3
       
    2. CLAUDE ORDERED! Didn't hesitate a second when I read the messages here saying that he wasn't sold out anymore! Thank you so much unlimited&#8203;!
       
    3. now I'm just a little bit stressed because I had to pay with paypal connected to my bank account instead of credit card and that means Iplehouse won't get the money before a few days D: so I hope it will be OK anyway. it was with soom....
      I will not consider him mine until Iplehouse approve of my payment

      BTW, it is now the 4th in korea ^^
       
    4. Congrats on your orders guys! I'm glad they re-opened him for sale again. :aheartbea
      OHGOSHOHGOSHOHGOSH, I am doing the antsy dance. I want my boy so bad! I hope something shows up for me soon in the mail so I can vent some of this nervous energy. O_O
       
    5. I saw his review 2 minutes ago. I feel kinda stupid for not seeing him before xD;; (and I also feel stupid for not recognizing "myself" since I just changed my icon :sweat it's Claude in NS! :3 )
      I am just more and more hoping my first payment will be accepted, I want him more than anything right now!
      though I do kinda regret not getting him in RS since he looks so much better like that on the pictures! I try to convice myself it is only a matter of faceup but somehow my brain doesn't want to believe that xD
       
    6. UGH! I'm dying for this doll. He's just so gorgeous... >_< I really like how iplehouse used a sequin fabric in place of the chain mail mesh. What an awesome alternative!
       
    7. Anyone else having trouble stopping their anticipation of his arrival until after he's fully paid off? I keep forgetting that there are still 2/3 left before he's even going to start his transcontinental journey. xD

      I agree, it is a neat way of getting a lookalike! I've heard of people dip dying lace and loose knitting in silver paint, but I haven't seen it done with sequins. o:

      That makes it easier to store your dolls, definitely! My room - where they'd be safest from inquisitive cats - gets a lot of sun. So for now, he'll just have to stay covered.

      Although I suppose I should amend my original statement and say that it's just most of her vampires.
       
    8. I'm having a hard time waiting knowing that two have arrived already and mine was ordered a few days after theirs !!! (and mine's blank too) AHHHHHH!!!!!!

      PS: I'm so happy things got worked out and all you who thought you'd missed out get to order this guy :D
       
    9. Sahoma, I am getting him in RS. Toying around with dark brown like the review, but I was thinking a colour somewhere between the Sepia of the first wig and the red in the second wig. ANy thought?

      BTW he's supposed to be European, got a blue brown eyes comin for him :)
       
    10. arrrrg...

      I ballsed up and finally bought my Claude some eyes (damn you Dollshe eyes). I wonder which will get here sooner, the eyes or the doll.

      Anyways, I double checked a picture of Tidus and his eye color is pretty close to the pair I just bought, so it looks like I am going through with the Tidus costume. The only thing that is holding me up is his yellow shoes (and of course, the doll itself). Anyone know of a pair of SID sized yellow sneakers? C:
       
    11. With Iples' schizophrenic fashion sense, just sit back and wait for awhile-- yellow sneakers might just show up sooner or later. xD Much of their stuff is so perfectly basic and nice, but the rest of it, aieee, it's either Disco Inferno or Mr. Rogers.

      What I am waiting for is underwear. You know those adorable navy/white boxer-briefs that they make in JID, YID, and EID sizes? Not available in SID size yet. :doh Must be patient! I have a feeling my Claude will spend a lot of time in his underwear. But until they release some, at least they've got lovely jeans & t-shirts for him to wait around in.
       
    12. Oh, me too, I'd LOVE to have a pair of those boxer/briefs !!! Oddly enough, shapshifting often requires my guy to strip down so those would SOOOO come in handy ;)
       
    13. Oh man, I'm soooo happy for everyone who got to order their Claudes afterall. :) Congrats, everybody! I can't wait to see what everyone's boy is gonna look like...
       
    14. Oooh! You mean Final Fantasy X Tidus? If so, that's so awesome! In the future I'm aiming to create Terra from VI. Anywho I'm sure you can find a great pair somewhere out there. If not, you could always opt for his boots from Dissidia, they're completely black.
       
    15. he isn't sold out yet.....


      BUY ALL THE CLAUDES!

    16. HAAH on DoA? Yeessssss! :fangirl:

      Seriously though if I had the money I'd be bringing a NS Claudey home too!
       
    17. yeah, if I had more money I would have ordered a second one in RS ;) but it cost me all the money I had left just to do the first payment :sweat
       
    18. my first payment is confirmed *happy dance*
      BTW is there a waiting room for this guy?
       
    19. Woooot! Congrats C:

      I don't know of a specific Claude waiting room, I think most of us have been using the Iplehouse waiting room. I don't remember if you posted/been there so here is a link just in case.
       
    20. :XD: Yes, buy them all! 8D

      Tidus is pretty cool, but I would love an Auron. :aheartbea I'd probably explode if I got one, but still. O_O But man, yeah, a real skin Claude would make a really great Tidus, that will be really cool to see! :D

      Also! In my theater costuming class there was a shoe paint they used for shoes when they weren't the right color. Could something like that be used on a comparable pair of sneakers to make them yellow?
