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.

Looking for Feedback on a Doll Experiment: The Vagabond

Jul 5, 2021

    1. It sounds cool, back when I was a kid we did something similar called "flat Stanley" tho he was made of paper and sent to a relative or family friend.

      Honestly I would expect it to get stolen and ruin the fun for everyone else. So I wouldn't do it. I think sending it to a trusted pen pal would be better.

      Another idea would be to ask doll companies and dealers to take part and send it to them. (Yeah I know they are busy too) But I couldn't see a company stealing it. You would only have to worry about it getting lost or damage.

      I think it would be a fun way to bring the companies and artists closer to the community. The company can choose to show Vagabond in their studio, or a cool landmark/location near them.

    2. Probably the best hedge against the doll being lost or stolen would be to coordinate the hand-offs via the Swaps forum in the Marketplace. Then you only get people who have MP privileges here, and they risk losing those privileges, or a black mark on their feedback thread, if they do "lose" the Vagabond doll. It does seem like a fun activity, with risk of course (but hey, life is full of risks), so finding a way to make it potentially work could be worthwhile.

    3. Mod Note:

      Just as an FYI, this thread as a concept is okay for Discussion.

      If there are actual plans for this to move beyond the idea phase, @DamirSoull will need to come to Ask the Mods to discuss it.
