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 JiD Mini Discussion Part 19

Nov 26, 2017

    1. Me too. It might well be work stress...I got the impression he was trying to do everything himself. You'd think after working at both Iplehouse and SoulDoll he'd have a good idea how to manage a doll business. Maybe he'll go back to one of the doll companies after a while.
       
    2. lol artists and business do not always mix well lol... and i'd say iple needs him but ya not with the current direction they are going... didn't know about Soul doll... but then this was the one i could not pin down to start with lol

    3. Hey everyone ! I wanted a bit of photographic advice :XD: has anyone here done the drill mod on the torso of the older JID body? I'm legit sick of how my Soa just swings around and has no lower body balance (stupid ankles and no connected stringing :doh) I'm wanting to string her like a "normal" BJD but I'm not 100% sure where to drill the holes, since she has her peg/lock system in the same place... any ideas?
       
    4. I've said it countless times that it is not necessary to drill a JID girl body to rectify the floppy leg syndrome.

      Restringing with thicker elastic and tying the leg stringing with a different knot that lays flatter than an "over hand knot" will make her body pose wonderfully.

      The details for how to do it were shared on DOA several times. Presently I'm in the process of retaking some pictures and rewording the instructions for clarity.

    5. Is there a reason why there is almost no clothes for the JID girls and boys? They are a bit hard to find clothes to so I hope Iplehouse won't stop selling clothes for them!

      Haven't been here for so long :sweat I still have my gray skin Joshua (JACY), but he's a bit difficult to take pictures of with his dark clothes and black hair. I also have regrets about his face-up.

      But here's a little picture of him anuway, hiding those awful blood red lips. He's with his doll (Clara) and his friend (Robbin).

      I had no plans of ever getting another JID doll. But that changed soon after I saw the new JID girl body.
      Once I saw it I just had to have it! I think with the small bust it looks like a tween body. And that's a good thing because that'll make the JID girls fit in with the IH SDs.

      I currently have a YID Lucian, and I really want a Kassia in peach gold skin on the new body, with the small bust. I think she could be an awesome little sister for him :) It wasn't in my plans but I'll order her in the end of the order period of the new girl body. Can't wait :XD:

    6. The clothes you make are so amazing :D
       
    7. Thanks! And of course, with one doll in a Victorian outfit, the rest of her 'family' needs them too. I made two little girl outfits out of the last bit of that stripe fabric, and now want to make an outfit for her guy as well.
       
    8. Wow, beautiful dress, @MB Lilac !!!

      @manabusama your boys are so cute, and I love your little Banji!
       
    9. I was looking through parts on Alice Collections and I was thinking about buying a pair of jointed hands for my Iplehouse JID Daniel (45cm). The hands they have are branded toward certain dolls but none are Iplehouse. I wanted to know if there were hands that would fit my doll well. Help?
       
    10. If you can measure the wrist joint on your doll, some companies like Doll Legend have their measurements listed, so you can match them up! That’s how I bought jointed hands for my Dollshe fashion doll.

      If the measurements are close enough, it will be a fit!
       
    11. Thanks a bunch~
       
    12. Weather has been nice last week to take some photos.

    14. I've ordered my Sierra girl with the new girl body, small bust, in peach gold :) I was thinking of making her my YID Lucian's tween sister. Since for girls, puberty generally starts sometime between 8 and 13 years of age, I think this body would be great for a early tween character, and a early bloomer.

      But if it does not work out She'll just be a smaller type of human species.

      Thanks :) I know I should have taken more pictures of my JID boy but his face-up kinda bother me. And since I currently do not have a digital camera, only my cell phone, and ipad camera the pictures often turn out grainy.

      She's so cute:chibi What sculpt is she?
       
    15. I'm in the process of making a Victorian outfit for Steve (my second Owen), and the shirt made him look so much like a waiter, that I had to set up a restaurant scene.....with Owen and Leona celebrating their anniversary....

    16. It looks like Iple are bringing Boris back! It says Comming soon on his picture. I'm so afraid it's a mistake. If they really bring him back I'm getting him in real skin on a muscular body.

    17. It looks like he's available now. I had never considered him, but now that he's available again, I'm thinking about shelling a certain character as him. :kitty2
       
    18. @MB Lilac , your dioramas are always so amazing! @Dustbunnie oh that would be great news if they bring back some of the older sculpts!
       
    19. YEAH! I'm going to order him today! :dance

      And I just did - and paied for him too. I'm so excited.
