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.

Love at first sight?

Jun 13, 2014

    1. MiniFee Ruth… Still can’t believe this sculpt is discontinued.

    2. I liked Frappzilla's Lupi from when I first saw the in-progress sculpting photos. I couldn't order them the first go-round because I was more than a little financially unstable due to the everything of 2020. I was very excited to get in on the second preorder!

      In practice, it's taken a hot minute to bond with them because my own faceup skills are... well, they're not bad, but I do struggle to make what's in my head actually appear on the doll's face.
       
    3. DDH-11 from Volks stole my heart even with the company photos! My dream is to get one directly from Japan one day at Doll Point.

    4. A lot of my dolls are/were love at 1st sight....which leads to many an unplanned purchase lemme tell u :sweat:lol: Tho there seems to be some difference for me if its company-new or 2ndhand. Brand new dolls I will waffle abt, but usually my 2ndhand sweethearts are the ones that get me head over heels
       
    5. I know my Iplehouse JID Tania was love at first sight. I loved her from the promo pics on Iplehouse's website, and I knew she was the special little girl I was waiting for from the first time I held her :aangel:

    6. Absolutely!
      My first, Volks Shiro Tachibana, was love at first sight.
      Most of my other dolls was/are that as well, but Nobu (Shiro) remains special <3

    7. Opal from Coral Reef caught my eye right away. It's such a unique sculpt, and I LOVE mantis-themed things!

    8. It was originally Hujoo Freya and Freyr, but after that it was FallinDoll Force Fox. I really want Force so bad. Freya and Freyr will have to wait, I'm afraid.
       
    9. Maybe it's weird, but I think that all my dolls are love at first sight, otherwise I probably wouldn't want to buy them.
      Just a thought :lol:

    10. Volks Chris was definitely love at first sight, but another one I actually wasn’t sure what I thought of at first (not gonna out the poor sculpt cause I love it now) At first I actually thought it looked kinda silly ^^; but now I own it and love it
       
    11. Hehe yes, as a kid i had seen lillycats kitty jolie, and instantly fell in love! Soon i will have her :kitty2

    12. Yes but ironically I tend to not notice the mold at all when I'm first going through a catalog. I always stumble onto it at a later time - often after lengthy plans - and I know that's the one.
       
    13. I bought more dolls than I should have in my first 4 years in the hobby, and I’m in the process of selling off over 1/3 of my collection. The ones that are staying were almost all ‘love at first sight’ for me, and are very unique artist sculpts
       
    14. Luts KDF Kai..... instant love. while i'm kinda sad it took me as long as i did to be able to afford my first doll, something felt very right about it being him - i'd never been so instantly enamored with a sculpt before, so perhaps it was for the best that it happened to line up the way it did!

      edit - aaaaaand im gonna have to add another to this very short list because i somehow Just saw KDF Muse Belimbing........ oh my god. i have no words even to describe how much i love this sculpt. its gonna be a good long while before i can afford another doll but that's the one.

    15. Got one: the classic Luts Delf El. I was mulling on getting El as my first tall dorrie after seeing his mold way back 2007 (was looking at the Lishe mold first but the first time I saw her brother El, love at first sight :love). I was fortunate to get his head in both open eye and dreamy eye version, and his Littlefee version before they were, unfortunately, discontinued.

    16. Dear Mine Lucy.
      Fell in love with the Summer 22 Special Magical Version but missed her unfortunately...
      I hope they re-release her some time.
       
    17. Switch Waseon and Devotiondoll Bite!
       
    18. Does it count if you hear music the moment you see it?
      I'm not sure if it's the face up on Doll Chateau's Twilight or the expression. (It would be just 'pouty', but the cheek line carries all the way to the lips.) Edge of 17, is the song.
