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 got my shipping notice today for my Claude! I'm so excited, I just don't know what to do with myself.
       
    2. Congrats, Teslithia!
       
    3. Opened my Claude today, he is such a work of art. I just keep looking at him in wonder (he's sat next to me at the moment) and I'm so so glad I got his outfit with him, it's amazing :fangirl:

      Though he seriously needs some boots ^^'
      Which reminds me, I've heard SID boots don't actually fit SID boys. Is this true anyone?
       
    4. My boy, Lionel, has arrived! I didnt think h would since he just got out of customs at 9pm last night, but he went to the sorting center at 3am and got to my local post office just after 8am- which apparently is before my postman leaves! :O

      he is face to face with the stone-faced female version of himself! :O
       
    5. Ebi: Oooh thanks for the pic of the helmet xDDDD
      congrats on the arrival BTW :D
      uuughngahf really need to pay off mine ;_; *grabby hands*
       
    6. Congrats Ebi!! :D
      Haha, the helmet face really creeped me out and then the realisation dawned on me that it'll need to be painted somehow. I have no idea how to go about it *_*
       
    7. Akudem: I heard that some of the iple sid boots fit them. Maybe its the shoes that dont? I bought boots with my guy.
       
    8. Ah, thank you Brittox! That might be what I heard, that it's the shoes that don't fit. I'll be getting some boots for my boy soon then! :D
       
    9. My Claude's here too but I haven't had a chance to photograph him for spam.

      On the shoe and boot subject- My SID Lee is wearing a pair of the black Iple dress shoes (non shiny) and they are a bit of a struggle to get on, but they fit fine once the heel is seated fully in the shoe.

      Claude is wearing a pair of SID boots and they went on smooth as butter.
       
    10. :XD: It's like he is about to make out with himself there. You have a vain boy.
       
    11. Congrats on all the beautiful Claudes! He is springing up all over the globe. I got mine and he is so dreamy and just darn cute! And if anyone has some ideas on how to paint the face in the helmet...let me know! :?LOL.

      I just had enough time to unbox him and try a few wigs on him. He is so expressive depending on the angle you look at him.

      And...

      Oh and I also got the boots...will report later to see if they fit!:)

    12. So nice to see all the lovely Claudes. I've got to say, though, that body brushing is very distracting! Wowza!!!

      I don't have SID boots yet (they're coming with Shane) but two of the three pairs of shoes I bought are extremely tight. The brown shoes went on easily and fit well. The two black pairs (the patent and the ones with the metal trim) are so tight I could barely get them on and off. Forget about socks. The shoes won't go on at all with socks.
       
    13. Gah..I cant get enough of Claude.. :: swoons :: Can't wait to get my guy and pose him with his bf. <3 So excited!!
       
    14. Thanks Vermont Chick and XxBritox....
      I'm still in total fangirl mode over this guy! I hope yours arrives soon...:fangirl:
       
    15. All these Claudes are fabulous! He is smirkier in owner pics, very charming. I have a friend with one on the way, I can't wait to see him irl~
       
    16. Congrats to all the new Claudes out there! What a hunk of burning love! :D

      RE: the helmet - How did you get the face mask off?
       
    17. Wheee got my Claude home today! He is hereby dubbed Vincent :)

      Pics incoming tomorrow when there's better light etc. For now I will share some observations:
      - Eyebrows are quite thick, but I don't mind it cause it makes him looks heaps manly. Also differentiate him form 99% of doll eyebrows :XD:
      - The boots I bought, which is the one he wears in the promo pics, fit so snugly I couldn't take it off for 20 mins. Gonna need some new ones, any suggestion of which model/other stores?
      - The default pants are pornographically tight, yum :fangirl:
      - MOst of the stuff I bought for him don't fit, lololol, back to square one :(
       
    18. Firstly, CONGRATS on your new Claude, Vincent! :D

      1. The boots will stretch with time, making them easier to get on and off, just like real leather shoes. :) If you leave him in them for a few hours/day they will get to the point where they're snug but much easier to slip on and off.

      2. Oh yes, they ARE pornographically tight. I started LMFAO after I put Jerem's on. LOL

      3. What stuff did you purchase for him? Links would be great. ;)

      There are lots of different sites now that sell shoes for the bigger guys, but clothing is still kinda eh. I know 2079Realms sells 70cm + shoes.

       
    19. I've found Super Senior Delf shoes/boots from Luts fit very well on SID boy feet. Shoes and boots from various other sellers that say they are for 70cm are hit and miss, mostly "miss" in my experience. Many are too long and/or too narrow for him. A few Dollmore Model shoes and boots may fit. I don't have a single pair of "official" Iplehouse SID shoes for my SID Lee, but he has plenty to wear that fit him just fine. Sounds like the SSDF stuff may even fit him better than his own!
       
    20. SSDF fit SIDs? I have SSDF boots on my EID..wow..SID feet are that big? O_O;; Thank goodness I bought SID boots. >_<
