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.

Marti Presents Dolls - Babette and Rin Sakurako - 56cm

Feb 3, 2011

    1. Zomboid: i also had this problem with my mpd doll when i had her. I used ssome glue 'magic' - glue for paper, when its dry its transparent, for her knees. But ithink hot glue do the trick :)
       
    2. Thank you both for your input. I think I will try hot glue sueding but first I have to buy a new glue gun, I've already wrecked two...(what am I doing to those?) :?
      Oh and don't get me wrong marti, I absolutely love the old body and it was one of the first doll bodies that appealed to me when I started in this hobby. I just wish I could take pictures of my girl without leaning her on to something. :sweatI'm excited for the new double jointed body btw!
       
    3. Marti's dolls are amazing! And they have wonderful make-ups. Can't wait to see new works from Marti.
       
    4. Zell, she's just beautiful!
       
    5. I'm bringing this thread back from the grave with some spam! :) My Emilia got a new wig and now she reminds me of Nakashima Mika, she's so pretty. :aheartbea

      Oh and I sueded her knee joints with hot glue and now she can finally stand on her own. :D
       
    6. waiting for my babette ~ can't wait to get her!!
       
    7. What a gorgeous face!
       
    8. I'm resurrecting this thread from the dead. I lost the link to this company in 2012, when I had computer problems. Now that I found it again, it seems that I can't find Babbette for sale. It's so sad that these dolls are not being sold anymore, they were very pretty.
       
    9. hehe resurrecting this again after 3 months!

      I've had my babette since december and I had a love-hate relationship with her since then! Her high heel feet did not have holes in them for the hooks! So after a few months, I went and bought some tools to make holes. I also wanted the normal skin version, but she didn't have any left so I had to settle for the white skin version.

      After a while I lost interest and inspiration for my babette, but she has been a dream doll of mine since Marti had opened her shop. I loved LOVED the first body and I'm not as fond of the second version (which is what I have) they seem floppier haha.

      But I've sueded it (finally) and added some wiring. It seems to stand better, but still needs a doll stand. I got a wig that FINALLY fits her (her head is weirdly shaped, even this 7-8 wig i have on her still fits a little funny, but definitely better than the others)

    12. I know this is an old thread but I've just discovered these girls and I'm in love!
      They have some amazing sculpts. I really want sweet dream Babette!

      edit: just read through old posts, are these dolls not sold anymore?
       
    13. I've been wondering the same thing!! The website seems pretty inactive. I did manage to pick up an amazing Aki Sakurako on the MP recently, so I feel lucky, but it would be nice to see more of these girls around!
       
    14. Yeah I thought so too, but I wasn't sure!
      Ah that's awesome! Congrats on getting one, I'll have to keep my eyes open for one too!
       
    15. I remember it was on News a long time ago - Marti closed shop and offered her last dolls for sale then. I do not remember if she gave a reason, though. Sorry my memory is so vague, but she officially closed shop.
       
    16. Thanks for the info! Looks like she closed shop in 2013. Here's there news archive.
       
    17. @Mandagore @MissEmily
      Thank you so much for the info guys! That's sad to hear.
      I guess I will be on a long hunt in that case, haha! :)
