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.

      Edit: one more thing....Yo's can wear Mattel Ken shorts do you think Ted can too?
       
    4. *Huggles on Dianne* yeah that wig and Boots are way totally cute ^_^ and I totally understand that these little guys can be a total hit to the Pocket book ^^; I don't ever mention prices to my significant other...as not too too sure that he'd be too thrilled about the type of money I've spent or am spending on these dolls ^^; hehehehe....

      but yes I will take absolute care of your babies ^_^ no worries ^.^

      Hehehehe....*Hugs* awe...I totally recomend Kemper for Yo sized dolly shoes too...they're super cheap ^_^

      *Hugs* I look forward to making your Ted ^_^ and I know your soon to be Ted looks forward to coming home to you just as much as you do ^.^

      funny enough I happen to have bought a Turquoise wig and the color is pretty cute...goes wonderful with the light to medium normal skin and the whites ^_^

      sadly enough...the mattel Ken shorts are too tight/small for Ted ^^; so sorries ^^;
       
    5. I think a lot of us are going to be placing orders with Kemper! *grins*
       
    6. :...( Sad news everyone...after some severe attempts and not only covering the inside of my bathtub a funny blackish blue color...and staining my hands one sickly color I've come to the conclusion that I will not be able to sell any Black or Dark Blue dolls at this time...

      I'm contacting Enki to see if she may be able to get some Rit Dye and airbrush it on with her airbrush machine.
      ..as the Alumilite Dye I have only works and stays on when you mix with the Resin...I was able to almost successfully dye the doll...but with a pretty major problem....black or blue residue comes off on your hands...it will stain any wigs or clothes that you place on it...it will also stain any acrylic eyes placed in the head :( I'm very overly beyond saddened by this.

      I do not Own an Airbrush machine...nor can I afford to go run out and buy one...so I have to for this instant take Black and Dark Blue off this preorder...I will offer full refunds to those who do not wish to change there Current Color ...I will also extend the offer of having a light Yellow or light/medium pink Ted...these are not colors I was originally planning to add to the Preorder but due to the recent attempts and the fact that I don't have an airbrush machine... I have to make this call...I've waisted a full day and 1/2 of work trying to save these two dolls and these two colors...but with my current supplies, I can not.
      I'm so very very sorry to have to pull these colors from the Preorder till further notice....

      If Enki is able to save the Black and Dark Blue Dolls with using Rit Dye and her airbrush Machine...than I will re-instate these colors to the preorder...I'll be calling her Today to see if there is anything she can do and if she's able to help me with this....

      again I'm so very sorry.... I will be casting a Full Light Yellow and a Full Pink Ted between Tonight and tomorrow...so if you were originally in this preorder for a Black Or Blue Ted Please contact me so we can discuss a Change in color....

      here are Pics of the Black Ted: :( (As I was stringing him up...my fingers turned a funky charcoal Grey...and the stringing within him is also a funky grey O.O )

      Saddest of all is me...as I was really falling for the idea of a Black Kitty Ted :...(
      The color looks pretty good...it's just it has a black residue that comes off on anything it touches...
       
    7. Whoa... I really like the black one... :3 Would you maybe consider selling him even though eh stains? :3
       
    8. Its just as well that those two didnt work. It looks like the 'flaws' and creator marks can still be seen on the body. Its amplified by the color contrast of the lights on the flesh. I think the white looks best so far. :)
      Is there no way to pigment the resin while its being combined or processed. I'd imagine that would be the way to pigment it in the first place. (though im no expert)
       
    9. OK,

      I still haven't found an outfit i'm crazy about for my Ted girl... but I found a little nightdress on ebay that's supposed to fit a 10" ann estelle doll (I know the undies won't fit, but...) will this fit Ted??

      Someone please take a look and tell me if it's the correct size... I figure at least this way she won't be nekkid until I find the perfect outfit.

      THANKS!
       
    10. I talked to Enki earlier today and I'll be contacting her again tomorrow. it looks like she's going to try and Fix the Black and Blue dolls...but they will take longer than expected...Ill be shipping them out to her On Tuesday of next week...as this is a three day weekend with columbus day and all....to those who still want a Black or Blue Doll...are you willing to wait? please let me know...if not I'll have a few new samples done by monday mid day.


      :...(I"m so sorry...I'm so trying to fix them...I swear *Hugs*

      heheheh^^; so sad ^^;

      ^^; if you guys remember the pic I put up with a bunch of doll parts in separate zip lock bags... there was a black on in the pic...and the black looked totally fine...nothing came off of the doll...the dye was all the way through...it's only when I did the clean up work and sanded down the doll...there was a slight color change...very noticable...everywhere I had sanded had turned Grey black...and what I hadn't sanded was still jet black...so I tried re-dying the Doll...soaking for a whole day randomly checking on it to see if it was jet black again...and when it finally was jet black all around again...I tried soaking it in warm water...and cleaning it...tons of black came off...but the doll was still pretty solid black looking...but there was a residue that was coming off of the doll...but the color still looked like it was remaining on the doll...I sprayed the doll with msc...this turned the whole doll a charcoal black color...so I was unhappy again...so I re-dyed it again... and hence started the whole problem over again ^^; ....but I used the Alumilite dye not Rit Dye...and apparently you are only suppose to mix the alumilite dye with the Resin...not after the resin's been cast and solidified ^^; this was my mistake...but I've talked with Enki and she is going to use her airbrush machine and Rit Dye...so the dye will not have any odd residue that comes off on your fingers ^^; like the alumilite dye

      I did that ^^; it's just that I sanded down quite a few parts on those dolls to fix them up and make them look clean and they changed colors where I had sanded them ...so I tried re-dying them...it worked ...but at a cost ^^; but yeps...commisioned Angie-kins (Enki) to save these two adorable colors with Rit Dye and her airbrush machine ^_^

      ^_^ Yeps hopefully Enki can work her magical Airbrushing skills and with Rit Dye Fix them ^_^

      ^_^ *Huggles* I'm going to send him to Enki...to have her work her Airbrushing magic with some Rit Dye and have her try and save these two colors ^_^ ...which this should take care of his residue issues...this particular one...I'm not too sure of...but I'll be sending all dark colors to Enki to re Dye with Rit Dye and her airbrush machine...I sadly enough do not have an airbrush machine so I can not do what she can do...

      ^^; Yeah I did mix the dye in with the resin as I mixed it...the problem came after I sanded the dolls...then there was a noticable color difference...I have not had this problem with the normal skin (Dark or Light) or the white...but the Black and Blue...there was definitely a problem ^^;
      white and black so far have been my favorite colors...I really just wish that the black didnt' do what it did O.O;


      Anne Estelle dolls are a bit chubbier than Yo's...this dress/nighty thing should fit just fine...the panties may fit too...if they are stretchy...Ann Estelle 10's are chubbier in the bottom area too ^^; it's a cute outfit though ^_^ and it's inexpensive ^_^ and I'm all about inexpensive ^_^
       
    11. Ann Estelle clohes fit cuties so they should fit.
       
    12. Don't get discouraged, LS! It's a minor setback in the grand scheme of things! Time to take the weekend off and figure out how to get the stains off your hands ;) Airbrush machines can fix lots of stuff. :) I can't wait to see the new colours!

      All of us are your cheering section, you know *tacklehug*
       
    13. *squee* That's perfect!! I bought one. ^__^ 'Course mine's going on a dark normal, but still I think it will be great. I'm going to put some lowlights in it. ^__^

      P.S. And sorry if this is addressed elsewhere, but are the Ted's coated with MSC before they are shipped or should I do that once he's arrived? Thanks!
       
    14. Ok, thanks... what about 'Kid Delf' and/or 'Dream of Child' clothes? Would they fit?
       
    15. Kid Delfs are alot taller, so I don't think so....
       
    16. those are more msd sized dollies, so i dont think they would fit.
       
    17. Ok, thanks...
       
    18. DOCs are 41-43cm, so definitely not, lol...unless you wanted the super-cute dressing-up-in-big-sibling's-clothes effect!
       
    19. I've been looking around, and I wonder if Friends to be stuff would fit. The body size is a little thicker than normal YO-sds, i wonder?
       
    20. Friends to be made? No, that fits Minis. Ann Estelle fits Cuties...and since my little Jen is to be a boy...gah...maybe I should make him a girl!
