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.

    1. Hopefully the casting goes quick and us showing them off helps more people find this doll too (and leading into a second preorder) - such a different and creative sculpt deserves to be seen.

      I do also hope to never find such a great doll at this price range again though :,D It’s worth it but also... can’t have too many : D

    2. I feel the same way. I am happy to pay what this doll costs in this specific case, simply because I really want the doll that much and I understand why the doll costs what it costs. But I can't spend like this very often.

    3. I just pray that if there's a second preorder, that the exchange rate is better. :pout::...(

    4. There are new photos up on the product page! Now I am pretty sure I can make a throne work for him as long as I make sure there is somewhere for the tail to go.

    5. Should be easy enough to l ave a gap between the back of the seat and the bottom of the back piece. My throne had a gap there, back when I was King.

    6. Yes, that's a good option. Another is to simply make the whole thing wide enough for the tail to have room to wrap around his butt and hang out on the side. Either way it should be possible to make something work.

    7. That, of course, being the option that I hadn't even thought of.

    8. Bumping this thread to see if anyone has had news of Emma from Mara Creatures yet? I ordered my Ramunder in "ljiung" color and I can't wait to receive him, but I am a bit worried because we're already in february and there have been no news since November.

      I know there are often delays in production so that's not what worries me, but the lack of news does and I hope Emma is ok (I sent an email to her but she didn't reply :( )

    9. I haven't heard anything either. Her page hasn't been updated for a while and the last blog entry is from November.
      I'm not realy worried yet. The only time estimate given was "february" and that was when she was supposed to recieve the dolls from Haru, if I undertood it correctly. February is still not over. I have worked with Haru in the past and they did not keep their own time estimates that time (nor did they inform me about the delay until I e-mailed them and asked) so a delay from the caster is a possibility as well. And that is perhaps being even more likely considering that Ramunder is not an ordinary doll, so ther may be some extra effort and workarounds neccesery to make him, again increasing the risk for delays.
      And then there is the over all shipping situation in the world that could be causing delays as well.
      Would be nice to get an update, though.

    10. Ah yeah, I did expect a delay in production, I know how these things work, so that's not what worries me. It is just that Emma is missing in combat since november... and I have stalked Haru Castin sites too and they don't post pictures since february 2021... (they used to send pictures of their production process). So we know absolutely nothing.

      I sent Emma an email some days ago asking if everything was ok and didn't get a reply, and that's what worries me. Of course, she can be overwhelmed with work, but most creators usually give updates about production timelines during the process, specially when the date is close, so I really hope she is ok and this is just a normal delay.

      Also, of course, that I am impatient to get my Ramunder XD. I have already got a wig and eyes for him and I can't wait to see how he looks in them!

    11. Hmmm... You are right, she hasn't been logged in here in a while either. Have you tried PM her? She may have notifications on.

      Me to! :XD:
      Through some sort of a miracle I have managed to keep myself from making him a lot of stuff beforehand as I want to make sure things work for him. But it just a matter of time before I start building. :evilplot:
       
      #31 Lillith, Feb 22, 2022
    12. Not yet, I guess I will if she keeps not replying for a while (I don't want to be a nuisance). But I guess notifications from DoA will go to her email, anyway? I sent her an email last week.

      I just hope she is busy and we will have some news soon!
       
      #32 yrdin_y_luna, Feb 23, 2022
    13. If I were you, I would be a nuisance and try every method of contact until I got a reply.

    14. :sweat Maybe I should, but I try to get in her shoes and I think that if she's having a rough time for whatever reason, the last thing she wants is a bunch of messages from a crazy impatient lady asking "Where's my troll???".

      That said, I will try again, maybe through facebook or instagram, at the beginning of March. I'll keep you informed here if there are any news!

      If at least Harucasting were updating their flickr with production pictures, it would make the wait more bearable! But they stopped doing that last year and I have no idea if they are uploading them anywhere else or just not doing it anymore...
       
      #34 yrdin_y_luna, Feb 23, 2022
    15. Except that if she hasn't contacted anyone in so long it isn't unreasonable to persit in trying to elicit a response , whihc makes you a concerned customer, NOT an crazy impatient lady. You would not be being in any way unresonable to keep trying any method available to you to get through to her to get a response.

      You can only proceed according to the information you have. You shouldn't be proceeding on the basis of speculation that she MIGHT be having a rough time.

    16. I don't know what e-mail adress you tried, but my reasoning is that there is a chance that she has notifications from here sent to a private adress while the order adress perhaps isn't checked as often since the order period closed, or something like that. I don't know, I am just speculating too.
      Hopefully the silence is a simple case of no news yet.
       
      #36 Lillith, Feb 23, 2022
    17. Well, she has finally replied to my first and only email, so no worries there!

      Copy/pasting the reply here so everybody is informed too.

      That's more or less what we all expected, but it is nice to see it confirmed, so we have now a new deadline (which will probably extend a bit longer, we all know how these things work)

    19. Thanks for sharing the reply. Sounds like a "normal" delay, nothing to worry about. Just a bit longer to be patient, but I've been in the hobby for a long time, I know this game. :cool:
       
      #39 Lillith, Feb 28, 2022
    20. Just wanted to update, since I don't know who is lurking this thread or only have access to the official product page.
      The order page still says february, but she has e-mailed buyers informing the delay an sent a separate e-mail saying that the dolls are currently being cast.
