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 Fashion Doll Discussion - Part 12

Oct 27, 2016

    1. Here's my Baron's transformation - now that enough time has passed that I'm not as embarrassed to show the photos - from his handsome original Iplehouse faceup, to his awful repaint just three years later, and then after Lisa Jameson repainted him again.

      I knew Iplehouse was unreliable at the time depending on which artist did the faceup, with some dolls arriving just like their promo photos, while others were just awful. But I stupidly took a chance anyways. They did his beard all wrong, gave him dark shadows under just one eye and not the other, and gave him ridiculously long eye lashes. At least I could trim those down, but there was no way to fix that beard.

      I'm thankful Lisa agreed to repaint him, and he was her final commission before she retired from doing faceups. I also made him a new wig (same colour) and I find he looks somewhat older. But I still miss his original faceup sometimes.

    2. Lisa did an amazing job with the repaint, Baron looks so handsome. I can understand why you miss his original face-up sometimes, it's so quintessentially Baron. His new repaint makes him look very distinguished and mature, older like you said. As if he's grown from being a handsome young man to a man in his prime.

    3. Yes, and of course I had to come up with a story to explain the difference in his appearance, so before he got sent to Lisa, I did some temporary work on that awful IH repaint, and made him undergo a major face-altering experience. I'm not usually into violence, but the situation required it.
