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.

    2. A new limited msd girl from loongsoul released, she has beautiful tarditional outfit*-*; http://www.loongsouldoll.com/Product_Show.asp?id=474 and apparently has a new body version with two part torso; http://www.ls-doll.com/Product_Show.asp?id=471, it remindes me a lot of the latest dollzone msd girl body. The new body is optional and she fits the old one as well. In my opinion this is one of their best dolls to be released, lately. However, I hope loongsoul eventually release a new basic dolls, because it seems it will no longer happen:eek:! Well what are your thoughts on the new loongsoul doll:)? Am I the only one around here who got tired from their endless releases of limited expensive dolls:nowords:?

    3. She looks amazing*___*
      I don't have any Loongsoul dolls yet, but I do like some of their limited dolls a lot. I'm considering getting a Bailing or Wanwan, but I'm not sure yet...So far, most of my dolls are Soom or Lati, and I don't know much about Loongsoul, TBH^^"
      About the pricing...well, I actually think Loongsoul's limiteds aren't expensive at all, but I'm used to Soom's prices, which are a lot higher for MSD sized dolls.

      Does anyone here happen to own a Bailing or Niantong? If so, I would love some spam:3

      Also, I'm kind of sad they don't sell their limited dolls' outfits separately:/

    4. Hello, Wanwan is the same price as other basic dolls. :)

    5. Hi, you can find some owner's pcitures if you search Loongsoul on Tumblr, some of the owners have put their Bailing there :)

      Here's the link: http://soju-akamitori.tumblr.com/

    6. Thank you so much^_^
       
      #546 Dark_Shiva144, Apr 25, 2015
    7. What a unique looking lady, very different from the others (in my opinion), love her outfit. Not too keen on the new body though, maybe it's just their photo's though, and now there is a more normal breast size too :)
       
      #547 Mew-Lidia9, Apr 25, 2015
    8. Sorry, I didn't notice:sweat. Do you know if loongsoul will return to release basic doll?


      Dark_Shiva144
      In fact, loongsoul do sell their limited dolls' outfits separately^^; http://www.loongsouldoll.com/Product_Show.asp?id=476
      It's not that I am against limited dolls, I just prefer basic dolls because thay are usually less pricey and add vriety to the doll lines, and most importantly it easier to imgine new look/persona for them. Customizing is really important part in the bjd world, that separated it significantly from other doll types. Seeing differnt designs of the same doll by other owners, is in my opinion the best part of the hobby; all the creativity and effort that people put in it , in order to make something new of their own, it's simply wonderful!

      I am actually quit fond of the new body realistic design, but I think the signature loongsoul' square joints doesn't fit it well, not to mention the lack of defined elbow.
       
      #548 Poor collector, Apr 25, 2015
    9. Oh, thanks for letting me know:) I wanted to get Bailing's outfit some time ago, but it's only available if you buy the doll (it says so on the outfit's ordering page), so I assumed it would be the same for Wanwan^^" Since I like both Bailing and Wanwan so much, I actually might get one (or bothXD) of them as a full set anyway, though.
      And I get what you mean about basic dolls making the hobby more interesting because owners can make amazing creations out of them. I buy most of my dolls as full sets if I like the outfit and face-up they come with, but I also enjoy choosing eyes, wigs and clothes for the ones I don't get as full sets^_^

      ***Edit***
      Actually, now that I think about it....Wanwan is a limited doll, right? If so, does anyone know if she is quantity or time limited? Can't seem to find that info in her description^^"

      Also, what's the differnce between the resin types Loongsoul offers? Is there any difference in quality, like one being more prone to yellowing than the other?
       
      #549 Dark_Shiva144, Apr 25, 2015
    10. Oh man, I think I'm in trouble, Wanwan has really caught my eye.
      Ideally I would love the fullset but I'm struggling with the price of $260 going up over $500. Damn weak Australian dollar!
      I'm wondering what her shoes look like, I couldn't see them in the of the pictures :P
       
      #550 JayyKayy, Apr 27, 2015
    11. Dark_Shiva144 I'm the opposite lol! I really wanted Bailing, but only the doll (no outfit, faceup etc) I was so disappointed to see that wasn't possible (and I didn't have marketplace access then so I couldn't have done a split)
       
      #551 kickingshoes, Apr 27, 2015
    12. Yeah, seems like he's only available as a full set... Jeeryama (Loongsoul's Ebay agent) seems to offer him without a face-up, though: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bailing-nor...870?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35dee02b9e
      But the info on that page is a bit confusing, since at first it's listed as a full set with outfit, wig, horns, basket, and eyes, but then somewhere below it says that the outfit isn't included. I guess one would have to ask the seller about that to be safe.

      It's a shame the outfit can't be bought separately. I hope there'll be a split (I know that's unlikely at this pointT_T), or maybe someone will just sell the outfit on the Marketplace at some point:/ I do like Bailing, but I like Wanwan more, and I won't buy both. I do want that outfit, though...*__* Actually, I would have liked Naintong's outfit even more, but it seems like his was never for sale in the first place.

      Anyway, still hoping there's someone here who knows a bit about Loongsoul's different resins and yellowing. I'm really paranoid when it comes to yellowing, so I want to pick the resin that is the least likely to yellow^^

    13. Hi, Wanwan is limited of 60 sets.
      The difference between normal resin and french resin is that french resin is a little transparent, its texture is gentle and smooth like real skin.
       
      #553 LoongSoul, Apr 28, 2015
    14. hi, here's the link of Wanwan's shoes: http://www.loongsouldoll.com/Product_Show.asp?id=483
       
      #554 LoongSoul, Apr 28, 2015
    15. 60 sets?!:ablink: Well, I better hurry up and decide which color I want before they're all gone, then^^"
      Also, thank you for the link to her shoes and the info about the resin:)
       
      #555 Dark_Shiva144, Apr 28, 2015
    16. Thank you for the info! :)
       
      #556 JayyKayy, Apr 28, 2015
    17. Hi everyone…joining the thread and totally new to Loongsoul but always heard great things.:)

      When Wanwan showed up…I really couldn't resist her. I hope I'm pleased. I ordered the fullest & she's the first fullest I have ever ordered. I think the concept is really wonderful. She has an element of believable fantasy and legend. I'm excited to get her.
       
      #557 mdonline03, Apr 29, 2015
    18. [MENTION=63054]mdonline03[/MENTION]: Congrats on getting this girl ^^ In terms of posability I definitly think you'll be more than happy with her and if you like her visually already... I currently see no reason why she shouldn't make you happy :D
       
      #558 Snowy, Apr 29, 2015
    19. Looks like Wanwan is pretty popular^_^ I haven't ordered yet, but I will once I have decided which body I want... I wonder if the outfit will fit just as well with the old body, since the new one's measurements are different (especially the hip and chest). I like the new body as well, but the old one looks like it has better posability.
       
      #559 Dark_Shiva144, Apr 29, 2015
    20. Thanks Snowy:)…it does feel odd to be branching out from my normal "safe zone" of SD boys.
