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.

Little tiny mention of BJDs in Giant Robot magazine

Sep 22, 2007

    1. For those of you who read Giant Robot, check out page 11 of Issue 49! Missy Leach names her top 5 Best Big Dolls, starting with VOLKS Sweet Dream Nana's in a Bad Mood and ending with PetWORKs momoko ver.03ANsp. Rather than spoil the other three favorites mentioned, I suggest picking this up on the newsstands for a mere $4.99 US. It is a household favorite.

      If you don't read Giant Robot, you should. It's a great, stylish, fun, and very hip magazine for people who love Asian pop culture.

      Why is the name Missy Leach so familiar???

    2. i've picked up giant robot a couple times. it's a bit tough to work through, i usually end up feeling like it's written by a secret community and is talking about things i'm unaware of, lol. though i did enjoy the article about uglydolls...
      ...but bjds in other magazines are awesome! hopefully that generates a tiny bit of interest and/or increased tolerance.

    3. Heh, it is no doubt a publication that is intended for the hipster set, and as such does assume that you are hip enough to know exactly what's going on and to catch every reference made to various hipster things. Agreed, though, I'd love to see them do a feature on BJDs sometime as a Thing of Relevance to hipsters.
