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.

Island Doll Discussion

Jan 14, 2011

    1. Oh! Your Vivian looks so sweet! I didn't recognize her! Her wig seems to be very soft. It looks really nice on her. Cute girl! :chibi

      It's nice to see other Vivian dolls, cause I had problems to find more photos of this sculpt. :D

    2. Does anyone have the 61cm boy or angel body? I can't find any owner pics.
       
    3. @ToriaCrux I've found owner photos on Flickr, by searching 'Island doll Dove' which is a sculpt that uses this body in either variation, as well as Island doll Noah. <3
       
    4. So I've gone trawling around on Island Doll's TaoBao and I'm in love with the following sculpts:

      Dove:

      Noah:

      Hu Li:

      I'm also interested in Jonas and Cheetah, but this is several dolls deep and I think I'll limit myself to two during the (hopeful) summer sale period. I absolutely love Island Doll's resin color range - I'm hoping to order Hu Li in their darkest resin, as shown on this chart:

      I think he'll make a lovely drow elf. <3

    5. hi guys, i know this isn't a very active thread but I'm hoping there's someone still around with an Odin? either on the Norse 73 body or a hybrid. Does anyone have the Norse 73 body though? Is it really just single jointed? it sort of looked both ways on the pics on Alice's Collection. I'm planning to get the head eventually and it's always easier to forgo the whole hybrid situation but I'm not sure about single jointed elbows at this point
       
    6. It's really hard to tell. One photo I found from the user showed as if the joints were double, but it's best to ask acbjd. They are super nice and reply quickly.
       
    7. I finally got my marbles together and emailed Christina about Dove and Noah (very pleased). If anyone's got photos of their Island Doll folks in 'island resin' I'd love to see pics! I went with it for Noah, but I still have a small window to make adjustments before the 15th. <3

      Edit: I went with Island for Noah and 'sunburned' for Dove.

    8. Both Noah and Dove have arrived, however it's been something of an ongoing mess unfortunately. Noah arrived with chips around one of his ankles (where the foot seats into the bottom of the shin piece), and Christina was able to get Island Doll to cast a replacement. They sent two shin pieces when they mailed out Dove, but Dove was fully strung and suffered similar breaks during shipping. I asked Christina about seeing if Island Doll could replace those parts as well, and didn't hear anything for a while. When I checked in again, it didn't seem possible, but Christina chased them a bit and now, seemingly, they are going to cast replacement shins.

      Dove also arrived in tan resin, although I'd ordered 'sunburned', so I do not know what sunburned resin looks like in person from Island Doll.

      Both dolls are adorable, I love their face sculpts, although their bodies are slightly 'clunkier' than anticipated, however this isn't a problem for me. I like the resin colors they're in and the additional 'fist shape' hands and 'heel feet' are nice as well. On their default feet, there is a separation between their first/biggest toe and remaining toes, so they can wear flip flops and other sandals. <3

      Happy to upload some pics!
