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.

Mara Creatures Ramunder

    1. That must be a relief for all the customers.

    2. I must admit I automatically added two months or so in my head when I first read the original estimate, so in my mind there is still about a month to go. :lol:
       
    3. Show of hands, who got the email update today and realized they hadn't gotten a wig or eyes yet? It can't just be me.
       
    4. *raises hand*
      In my defense I planned to wait until I got him in my hands, since I don't know exactly what I want.
      To tell the truth I am a little bit proud of myself for not having made him a lot of stuff yet. :XD:
       
    5. I saw the update on Mara's Instagram and I am so excited to see everyone finally getting their trolls! :D
       
    6. Oh, I just got the E-mail asking to confirm my adress and saying that she hopes to ship my doll this week!
      Saying that I'm excited about it would be the understatement of the year.
      This is going to be awsome! :dance
       
    7. Yay!

      Teddy
       
    8. Oooh they're starting to be sent home! That's so exciting!! :D
       
    9. He's here!
      He is huge, heavy and beautiful! Of, course the largest I had before was slim minis, but still... This guy is massive.

      He also arrived very well packed and in the biggest doll box I ever owned. I will try to put together a box opening thread. I did take the pictures as I upacked him but there is no way I can sit down to edit them right now.
      Pictures as soon as I stop shaking. :whee:
       
    10. Yaaaaay! {does Kermit-arms impression}

      Teddy
       
    11. Ahhhh so exciting!! I can't wait to see photos of him! :D
       
    12. Here we go.

    13. Cool!

      Are you happpy with him so far?

      Teddy
       
    14. Oh yes!
      I'll know better once I get to know him, of course, but right now he seems pretty much perfect. I do admit to being a bit infatuated, for lack of a better word, and probably more than a bit biased. I probably have a more realistic view of him in a few days. The only thing so far that is going to require some getting used to is the fact that he is so heavy. That combined with his posture makes it tricky to get him to stand unsupported. I have goten him to stand with just a hint of support for balance, but not completely unaided yet.

      Oh, and as if taking good doll pictures allready wasn't hard enough, since this guy is so much bigger than I'm used to, some of my standard tricks for lighting and camera positions and such won't work, so that's another thing to get used to.

      I am so happy to have him and I will have fun with this guy for sure! I can't wait to get started on customizing him. :dance
       
    15. Excellent! Glad to hear it.

      Have fun adjusting to his size.

      Teddy
       
    16. Oh my goodness he's lovely!! :D Congratulations!
       
    17. Thanks!
      I am working on him every chance I get, but it will take time to get all his stuff done the way I want it. I am having a lot of fun with him, but my arm- wrist and even back muscles are sore from handling, stringing and holding him up. At least I've managed to make him a stand (non of the ones I had on hand could take his weight) and that made things a lot easier.
      So, for those of you still waiting, you may want to invest in a sturdy stand.
       
    18. I can't stop thinking about how wonderful it'd be to display a Ramunder with a gaggle of potted plants in a front window. Someone walking by peeking in the window to catch a glimpse of this guy among the leaves... I love it.

    19. A nice idea, but a bugger for the exposure to sun damage.

      Teddy
       
    20. Hence why I would never be able to be trusted with one of these guys. They just go with nature so well!
