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.

    1. Oooh. That looks like a pretty tan. I did see one of the other ebay dealers mention tan, but I just thought that maybe it was a mistake! I guess it wasnt!

    2. @penguinspalace, I know, right? I think it looks similar to Bambicrony's tan. If you don't mind me asking, which eBay seller did you see mention it? Most of the stores on taobao didn't even mention it. :roll: I just ordered a Pearl in tan skin, so hopefully I'll have some photos to share of her in the near future.

    3. Congrats on your incoming Pearl, @NekoNyanMew! :dance I bet she's gonna look AWESOME. :love

    4. @NekoNyanMew I can't wait to see pictures of your Pearl. Thought it definitely might tempt me to get my own! xD And now that I think about it, it probably was a taobao seller that I saw offering tan. That would explain why I just thought it was a mistake lol!(Some kindof error in translation I supposed, as well as another one of the cheaper companies, maybe Mystic Kids? using a very similar set of swatches, I thought the dealer was just recycling images xD) I use taobao and ebay so interchangeably these days that I hardly know where I saw something (though to be honest I don't mind forgetting ebay items, as I can always find em on taobao later anyway for a fraction of the cost hehe)

    5. @penguinspalace, thank you! I can't wait to see her, myself. :XD: I do hope she's beautiful enough to make you want your own! :D

      Ah, okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I see a lot of sellers half-ass the resin color charts for newer companies. They just use resin colors from a different company, ha. Who's your favorite taobao agent? I was using taobaotrends for a while, but they're having some PayPal issues, so I think I ought to find someone else.

    6. I've been using taobaoring for awhile now and I really like them! Their english is pretty good, and they respond pretty quickly. I was using bhiner for a while but I don't necessarily recommend them. They have a very high fixed exchange rate, so even though their service fee is lower, everything comes out to be much more expensive. I also had a problem with bhiner once so not using them again ^^; Next time I order Im going to try out Spreenow, since I did an experiment and got a quote from taobaoring, which is my current agent, and spreenow. The spreenow one came out to be alittle bit lower after conversion rates, since they use a non-fixed conversion rate I guess (the quote was for a kids-sky moonstone actually so this is totally on-topic ;P)
      I'd love to order my moonstone now, but I'm going to have to put her off for a little while cause I just (very very happily) committed to a long layaway

    8. She's so cute! :)

      Hey @NekoNyanMew any news on your tan girl yet? I'm still dying to see her! xD
       
      #28 penguinspalace, Nov 5, 2015
    9. I messaged jeeryama a few days ago, and she said that my doll should be ready by December. :dance I'm quietly hoping she ships out earlier. We shall see. :blush

    10. Thank you, @penguinspalace. :)

      I guess I'll add more spam for kicks. Here she is in a pair of Dollflower eyes (sorry---need to readjust them because they are a little wonky).

    11. Sad news, guys.

      [​IMG]

      Looks like I'm off to look for a new tan girl. :(
       
      #31 NekoNyanMew, Nov 7, 2015
    12. Oh no! That's pretty lame :( I'm sorry!
      So you must have been the first one to ever get tan? o3o Maybe we were right about them using the swatch samples from another company, and they just tried to replicate the color?
      I'm wondering if they "failed" only in the sense that tan is a harder color to sand/can have some discoloration/small bubbles. I've noticed the quality standards for the "cheaper" companies are really high (all seams usually carefully sanded for example).
       
      #32 penguinspalace, Nov 7, 2015
    13. That SUCKS, @NekoNyanMew. I'm so sorry. I'm guessing KS had trouble with the tan marbling due to weather or some other issue. I know the darker the tan the harder it is to cast. :(

      I find it odd they offer the tan without knowing for sure when/if they can produce it, though. :sweat

      Sending you hugs. I'm sure you'll find a beautiful tan girl to call your own soon. :aheartbea

      ETA: I agree with @penguinspalace --- most of the Chinese brands I own have beautifully sanded seams. They want their dolls to look perfect. My BJDs from Korea, on the other hand, all have seamlines. Especially my Soom doll (whose seams are very jagged).

      If KS was unable to sand her smooth, that may be why the company doesn't feel right sending her off to you.

    14. Thanks, guys!

      @penguinspalace, I think I must have been the first one to order tan skin. Unforutnately, I have no idea what "failing" includes. I suppose it could be a variety of things. :atremblin

      @PeppermintPocky, I wish they would have just told me if it was the weather. :...( I'm thinking they may have made a few attempts at making her, and then just gave up.

      It's too bad, but I'm off another search now! :XD:

    15. @NekoNyanMew It seems like tan resin is harder to make. I'm sorry it didn't work out for your girl!

    16. This is my Moonstone girl who I named Sky.
      I've only had her a couple weeks, but I have really bonded with her.

    17. Your Sky is beautiful, @XDollyLovr! I love her outfit---she looks ready for winter! :D

      Also a random request to Kids-Sky: Please release more boys, dang it! My Moonstone needs her brother in doll-form! :XD:

    18. So is so precious! Is that her default faceup?
       
      #38 penguinspalace, Dec 22, 2015
    19. yes it is! isn't it lovely!! They did such a great job.
      I also have been wondering if this is the sister company to Mystic Kids. as their bodies are almost identical.

      seriously!! I'd like to one day have a boyfriend for one of my girls. :D

    20. I'm sure your girl would enjoy that! :3nodding: I sort of like Ruby but he doesn't pull me in enough to buy him. *waits patiently for more sculpts*

      I was told by Jeeryama-Doll's Singing that Kids-Sky and OnlyKids are sister companies from the same factory, but to my knowledge neither is related to Mystic Kids. My Mystic Kids Lillian is thinner than my Kids-Sky Moonstone; she is also taller by about 2cm. :thumbup

      ETA: I just noticed you own a MK Lillian, too. Cool!
