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.

IZE STAGE Doll Discussion

Apr 11, 2022

Page 1 of 3
    1. I didn't see a discussion thread for IZE STAGE so thought I would make one!

      I found them via IG (@ize_stage). They are Korea based but I believe they do international sales through their blog/email and through agents (SubRosa Doll) on TaoBao.

      They posted their schedule for the year. It doesn't lists months but they have gone in order so far.

      Next up is Taeyeong + Eros. According to their TaoBao agent they should be avail for preorder in May but this has not been confirmed by IZE STAGE yet however it would make sense following the calendar.

      Personally, Eros is super tempting but I really want Taein (in both tan and normal skin), if they keep releasing every other month Taein should be avail for preorder in July.

      ETA — correct location based

    2. I have a taein in tan skin and the resin quality is so nice! I was a little nervous since I had never ordered a doll via email from a small artist before but they were wonderful to work with too.
      I’m just stuck right now because I want him to be a tall character and I can’t make up what body I for him :sweat

    3. Thats great to hear everything went well through email! (I wont have to deal with a shopping service then haha)

      What bodies are you considering? I think heard Soom is a match but I'm not sure what other tan skin bodies would work.

    4. I’m thinking granado, my head was from a batch that was slighter darker than normal but it seems like it’s still a pretty good match for iplehouse rs. Granted I’m also looking at vings and ios dolls 80 cm body too. I just can’t make up my mind

    5. Oooh I love Granado bodies! They have a lot of different tans too so would probably match one of them. I will keep them in mind. Thank you!

    6. Granado also does custom matches I think! So you might be able to get a custom match. I’m just too nervous to send the doll head off for that

    8. Thank you for starting this thread! Couldn't find one previously when I wanted to ask about suitable bodies for my Dante and Eros heads.

      Also, I think Izestage is a Korea sculptor, not China based. ^^

    9. oh thanks for letting me know I updated the post so no one gets confused.

      but no problem! I definitely want to find some good bodies for them too

    10. Hello~ I just found Ize recently and got interested with Taein~~ anyone knows what skin color would match with Soom or Luts?

      I have a Soom tawny and Luts GSDF NS body~ curious to see if there's any photo to compare Ize's resin color :)

    11. Im not sure about LUTS but one of my fav faceup artists misheng825 has her Tan Taein on a Soom Idelian body. She also just posted him on a tan HID body today. Login • Instagram

    12. Hey!

      Just found her alternative Twitter account @IZE_BACKSTAGE (shows behind the scenes)! New her head is really handsome! Really excited to see him more. Also, if I remember correctly the next heads (Eros and Taeyoung) will be postponed to July/ August.

    13. I posted some hybrid photos of Izestage Dante and Eros on various 75cm bodies (Iplehouse HID, Soom ID75, The Voice), and also Iplehouse EID model which is 70cm) over in another doa thread. Sharing it here for reference for anyone who's also looking for bodies for their Izestage heads: click here to go to the comparison photos!

      Resin colour wise, Izestage NS matches pretty well with Iplehouse NS or The Voice NS. Iple is a tad pinker and paler than Ize, while The Voice is a tad darker and yellower. But the difference is not obvious (only obvious when putting Iple next to The Voice).

    14. Hey! I messaged izestage about their opinion about maybe sculpting a body. And izestage does have plans to release a body in the future! Although this will take a while, I believe the wait will be totally worth it! I (Love izestage’s bust…and waiting for their new head sales to open…)

    16. Wow that’s great and something to look forward to! I’ve been struggling finding a resin match to ize’s tan.

    17. Has anyone else seen the collab IZE has with dollshe? Taein (KING75) - DollShe craft
      I'm so confused by this. There are re-released heads of Dante too. I always wanted a Taein, but missed the pre-order period. Not sure how I feel about dollshe doing the casting with their track record.

    18. Wow. Nope. Not worth it. Don't buy anything through Dollshe.

    19. I would have risked it if it were new/exclusive IZE heads but I will just focus on getting their heads through the second-hand market. I also wanted a Taein too, in tan. I ordered Eros last preorder.

      I still might clown around and order depending on what Mori 9 releases through Dollshe though. I emailed her once and she doesn't do rereleases and her old heads sell for the price of full dolls now and as one of my fav artists its worth the risk to me.
       
      #19 RebelViva, Nov 21, 2022
    20. Whoa, that's indeed super risky, I'm afraid >_<; I only recently discovered Ize Stage and have been heavily eyeing their sculpts and Taein too, is on top of my wishlist. But no way I'm trusting to put an order in at Dollshe sadly >.>
