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. Yay for the sword winners!! How fun! I didn't know they did fun contests/giveaways ...good for a newbie to know ;)
       
    2. Thank you for the pictures. All of them are such wonderful dolls. That faceup on Asa with the red eyeliner is so amazing.

       
    3. Thank you SOOOO much for these pictures. The IRL pics are really drawing me to Soo. I liked her in the site pics, but she's speaking to me in these new photos.

      Sometimes the elbows on the SID bodies look odd and disjointed in owner pics. Has anyone seen an SID body in person and can you give any opinion of these joints? I'd love to know what people think.

      Thanks!!!
       
    4. I got a sword too! ^o^
      ::flaps arms excitedly::

      That makes me outrageously happy somehow. Hehe.
       
    5. The SID elbow-joints themselves are jointed! :XD: I think it's genius-- they made it as an improvement to the big long solid pellet of the EID elbow joint, which just sticks out rigidly when you want to extend the elbow, & doesn't give you much control over the forearm's motion. So adding that hinge to the joint itself will allow the forearm to actually do poses while the elbow's extended. Too clever.

      I wish I could add hinges to all 6 EID elbows at home.... ^^

      SID's body-expo pictures here show the elbow front & back.

      (That Lee is just too cute. <3)
       
    6. As much as I wanted to get Tedros in that lovely skin tone, I could not. I'll get him in NS later this year if I'm lucky, really can't do layaway either. At least I got Soo, I think she is very lovely and my girls will love a new SD size girl to talk to when I am at work. Hope hubby won't claim this doll for himself.
       
    7. I looove Soo! If I had to pick I would pick her over any of the boys, even Tedros ;) When I show people that are not into BJDs her pic they all go oooooh :)
       
    8. Sorry for the delay everyone!
      I know I promised these ages ago!:sweat

      All the pictures can be found HERE!:)

      These pictures were taken with a crappy camera in crappy lighting with zero editing, so while they're not artistic wonders, they should give you a good idea of what the sculpts are really like!

      Asa totally blew me away, I have to say!
      Her makeup is simply STUNNING!
      They're all so different compared to the Soom dolls I'm used to seeing there, and it was my first time seeing an EID in person so it was pretty exciting! Wow they are HUGE! xD

      Enjoy!:)
       
    9. I have to admit, the photos from Japan give Soo a depth of beauty that her Iplehouse photos didn't quite suggest. She was already adorable in the Iplehouse photos, but she is a haunting beauty in the new photos. ^_^

      But ahhh...Asa is so graceful! I can't believe I will have that fullset. It's such a dream!
       
    10. There's definitely something about the white of her skin tone that makes her really difficult to photograph, but absolute perfection when you get it right!
      She's really beautiful indeed.
       
    11. !!!Soo looks like an angel!!!
       
    12. I'm lovin Soo too!
      Thanks so much for the wonderful photos.

      Any hints of what Iple will do next? See any clues? LOL.
       
    13. OMG!! I just placed my order for a fullset Asa and Soo, thanks to those great pictures. I want Tedros too but really can't afford him until I can sell more stuff :( I am just so excited; I want to see if I can build a small teahouse setting for them before they arrive.
       
    14. Ok I have to live through you! Both beauties!! You have to keep posting and let us in on your teahouse creation and your box opening!! I don't think I can see to many pics of Soo or Asa....so post away!
       
    15. Congrats on the sword winners, and also to Lyssandra on getting both of those lovely ladies. They are both just stunning, and I went in not even liking Soo - IRL she grabbed my attention and held it. Iple's rose white skintone is my fave WS, I think. It really does have a rosiness to it as well as that white glow . . .
       
    16. Thanks for the pics midnitestar7! Storm looks so small next to Tedros. XD Still lusting over Tedros's get up.
       
    17. Congrats to all swords winners!!! This is so cool!!!
      And thanks so much for posting those wonderful pictures and picture links!! Ohh I would like to get all of those Tokyo beauties... well, but for now Tedros is enough for me. I'm so excited, I can order him via layaway next Sunday - and it's already Wednesday!! Just a few days to go!
       
    18. I'm glad I ordered Soo Full Set before I changed my mind, she looks so innocent and sweet in those pics! I also got her hands blushed too, so I am excited to see how it turns out. Will take tons of pics of her when she gets here, I don't have any geisha dolls so she will be my first.
       
    19. derilan85- You'll love the pretty blushing Iple does on the hands. I've had them blush 2 of my dolls and the work is detailed and lovely.
       
    20. Yes, i too did not think much of Soo when the company pictures came out, but when I saw the other pictures of her, she really captured my heart. She has such a haunting melancholy beauty - I can't wait to try other clothes and looks on her too and see how that translates.
