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.

Limhwa 43cm (Leda & Sujan) Discussion Part 1

Sep 22, 2010

    1. Argh! Okay, so they'll answer emails from their site, but they won't answer ones sent to the same email address directly from the buyer's email? Good grief, what is wrong with this picture?!
       
    2. Yeah....At least they answer it though.. ._.
       
    3. Guess I won't order my Leda after all, does Limhwa in Korea have another website to order dolls from??
       
    4. Not as of right now. From what I understand from the Dollfair/Narin boards, the Limhwa artist was Bimong's student, so he tried to contact her because of his situation with the same company. Limhwa still is trusting that Dollfair will come through, so until that changes, I don't believe the dolls will be available anywhere else but the MP :(
       
    5. I really hope things change. They are stressing me out like whoa! ;o; Even knowing that they got my payment and all.. Specially since i planned on ordering a Half Elf later this year...
       
    6. I know! I was thinking about getting an Elly since she's just plain gorgeous, and I love my Luna...but, I'm definitely going to be holding off for now.
       
    7. I have to agree with holding off. D: I really hope all companies linked with Dollfair can manage to pull themselves up! I love just about every Limwha sculpt. </3 Dont take it away from me~
       
    8. I don't mean to just pop in unannounced, ;) but I have to agree with you all. I find this whole situation quite disappointing and I would very much love to have some of their sculpts, but I'm afraid I'll have to hold off...

      Why did I have to fall in love with their dolls now? :sigh
       
    9. I am sorry this is such a stupid question of me, but with all the confusion that going on with everything I cannot find it myself.
      Is there a link where you can "currently" or in the future maybe purchase these? As in from the sculptor himself. I dont think I can afford one of these amazing girls now but she is soooooo on my list.
      Also I know its a long shot. But I would really love to see a natural skinned one next to a Unoa.. I really adore the hight differance, and I just love Leda's body so much but I cannot picture a super white with the unoa's normal skin >_<
      Finally just one question.. What is the chest joint like? From the artist pictures its hard to see how flexible she is or not :)

      Edit: Never mind think I found the right link... This is it right?
      http://www.limhwa.com/
       
    10. Lady White Raven, I think I've read that at the moment if you buy from the Limhwa site your payment is directed through Dollfair and they forward your order (or are supposed to...). I would guess once the whole Dollfair thing has been sorted Limhwa will do what Bimong has done and sell directly. I hope anyway as I would love a Leda one day too :)
       
    11. My tracking number is working! Here's to hoping that my girl will finally be arriving today...

      I really do hope that Catrina is getting things in order...

      :: nervously awaiting the mailman ::
       
    12. WOW! That's great! I just tracked mine again, about the fourth time TODAY, and it says out for delivery! Now do I drive down to my box (near work) or wait until Tuesday? Me thinks it's a nice day for a drive!
       
    13. Jumpin' in to say my LEDA arrived today in Florida from Dollfair/Limhwa posted from Ohio! I hope others who ordered and PAID in good faith will receive their dolls asap.
      Certainly communication from Catrina/Dollfair/Limhwa during this time of waiting and speculating might have helped. Nothing eases the mind like a product received as paid for! As collectors we send of a large amount of money in good faith and then wait for our product and often much longer than expected. Maybe other hobbies also work this way, but it means the reputation of the person a buyer sends money to is most important.
      I would like to add my normal beige urethane LEDA is perfect IMHO and I'm very pleased w/her new body and her face-up is gorgeous. Pics asap!
       
    14. :DOH MY GOSH, woooooooohoooooo!!! WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE!!! I am so happy for the arrivals/shipping notices!!! I have received a second e-mail from Dollfair stating that I should have received a shipping notice for my order placed 10/11, and I sent back an e-mail stating that I did not receive a shipping notice...I will still post if there are any updates here.

      :aheartbeaI am just so glad that at least some of you are receiving your Leda's!!!

      Please post pix!!!

      EJ
       
    15. This gives me some hope that I can order when they have a ordering period again. I know that Limhwa is a 1 person in Korea and the artist paints the dolls as well. Do post pics everyone, I want to see some more of Leda!
       
    16. :DWELL, I SHOULD HAVE JUST WAITED FOR THE MAILMAN...SO BEAUTIFUL BEYOND WORDS...THANK YOU LIMHWA AND DOLLFAIR/CATRINA/JO ROSS!!!

      INFAMOUS WRAP...

    17. EJ, did you order her with eyes and wig?

      :: still waiting on mailman...ugh! ::
       
    18. First of all Gothiclibrarian, I am excited and anxious for your girl to arrive, and I can not wait for your pix!!! Yep, this is the wig and eyes from Limhwa!!! Take care, and I hope that she comes today-come on mailman!!!

      Nancy, you should definitely go for the drive!!!

      PINKTINK-CONGRATS!!! I know that she will have some GORGEOUS clothes, thanks to you!!!

      EJ
       
    19. Oh thank goodness, my girl just came!

      I am soooooo jealous of that wig, Erika! I got a really pretty brown one (ie I'm not complaining), but mohair, eeee, lucky girl, you!

      I've tried a Leeke 6-7" wig on her and it's loose enough that if you tip her, it'll fall off. I bet that size would fit with either a wig cap or some Volks pitatto on her head (now where did I put mine...)

      She is so lovely, exactly as I had hoped!

      Can't tell you how relieved I am that she's actually here...it isn't waiting that got me so worried (I'm used to that) about this order, it was the number of unanswered emails I sent.

      Jo Ross included a really nice handwritten note too, which I really appreciate.

      Now, to find the time to actually get some photos...and I got my girl blank, so there's that too...
       
    20. Erika, she's beautiful :aheartbea I'm so glad these girls are beginning to arrive.
