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 Toyko Story dolls discussion! New SID boy Storm & SID girl Soo

Jul 7, 2010

    1. It's an LE accessory now, but I bet someday they suddenly start selling it as regular stock... sometimes they just do that. Besides, they gotta know how many people in this scene are always on the lookout for a half-decent katana.
       
    2. Hm...I wouldn't mind seeing the katana as a regular accessory. Though they have not started selling the NC swords. You never can tell.

      I wonder how long these lovelies will take to start shipping out.
      I'm so excited to be getting an EID woman, and to have her be this Asa is all the more exciting! ^__^
       
    3. When I ordered my iple dolls, I got them in 3 weeks (both purchased in '09).
      BUT, iple has since fallen behind schedule (which they explained on there site) and now there is a 6 week+ wait. The last person I know who ordered (since the back up) waited a little over a month and a half. It really doesn't take long, compared to other companies. Iple has always been known for getting out orders fast, and I'm sure that as soon as the get things in order, they will be fast again :)
       
    4. Thank you for that lovely picture of Soo. I didn't think I cared too much for her, but with this new photo - I think I am really in trouble. I am going to have to get her; I just love her little melancholy expression. I really have to go through all my stuff and see what else I can sell to get these beauties. /sigh Why did they have to release them all at the same time ?
       
    5. Thank you that is so good to know...no a month is not bad at all! I assumed it might take a lot longer from posts I read. I searched the site for shipping info but nothing came up and nothing said it when I placed the order? But I am still getting the hang of finding the info I need... I went to the FAQs and Forums and found nothing on how long it would take....when I go to the site am I missing a place where they post info like that other than the FAQs or Forums?
       
    6. I think eye placement has a lot to do with it, and in Storm's case I think he'd do better without the dark eyeshadow on his lids. Asa really was the queen of the display, lounging around up there!

      Man, I've gotta find me some hidden treasure or something . . .
       
    7. I paid for my bunny girl SID Cherie on May 18th and she's on shipping now. So that was about a two month wait. It might take a little longer than a month but maybe you won't have to wait too long.

      Thanks for those pictures timid!
       
    8. This is all good to know...now I won't be obsessed with checking the site daily :)
       
    9. :...(Okay I have the money but I can only choose 1 Full Set doll, and I don't know who I want more. I was lusting after Tedros, but seeing Soo has me thinking and she looks so sad from different angles. I chose Soo instead, I hope I don't regret getting her, but I already have enough male dolls in my home:(
       
    10. Soo looks so much prettier in those pics from the Soom store. I hope they release her in tan.
       
    11. They've usually got an estimated delivery time at or near the bottom of each sculpt's page.
      Harin's says:
      But just figure that as business days, and you're right at the five week waiting time. But, as mentioned, with them being swamped with orders, give them a couple extra weeks on top of that, just because. :)
      I got my blank RS Chase right about at the two month mark.
       
    12. In a response i recieved today, they said if i order tedros and have him paid in full i can get him next month some time but you know how that goes and things come up plus i read somewhere that when you add a face-up it adds maybe 2 weeks on to your time because they send the heads off to an artist.
       
    13. RAWR. "Patience is a virtue -- with which I am not overly endowed." ^_^ -- T.W. Moore, my high school French teacher. Great man.

      Oh well. Gives me time to pay it off....
       
    14.  
    15. Jeez, I still think anything under 3 months is fast. XD When Iples said mid-August I did the happy dance.

      But then again, I did the same thing when I got my SE Mars. I suppose I have been buying way too many LEs, that my sense of time has gotten that skewed. (SEs seem to take half the time LEs do, even ones of the same color...)
       
    16. . . . They're probably going to release her later as an SE in RS, aren't they. RS I think I could juuust barely resist, but if she ever shows up in a tan - especially light tan - I think I'd be completely Iplewhelmed!
       
    17. Iple posted the sword winners. Yea! I won one!
       
    18. Congrats Patrice! I won one as well!! By the way I ordered the full set Tedros with faceup/beard. I had totally missed him as the Circus Master and was NOT going to miss out on him this time.
       
    19. Congrats for all the winners!:)

      In case anybody need more pics of the Tokyo bunch BTW, I got some posted here for now.

    20. Congrats on the sword and ordering your Tedros. I love my Circus Master.
