Maskcat 26cm Line Discussion part 1

WOW! What a great company!

 

Hey guys, I'm getting a little bit worried about my orders. It'll soon be 5 months since my first order and I have yet to receive any news from Maskcat. In August, I got the notification that two of my orders (Feline and Joy) were sent, but when I checked, they were delivered to a different address in another country. I contacted Maskcat and apparently there was a mistake and I got someone else's tracking number. She told me that my Joy was done but that she still had to finish my Feline's makeup. I told her to take her time and to send the dolls together when she's done. She replied that she will notify me when they're shipped. Again, this conversation happened in mid August.

I don't want to be annoying and contact her about that because I did tell her to take her time and all (and I am fine with waiting as long as I get my parcels undamaged) but I'm just afraid that she forgot about these two orders. I'm also waiting for my Inez who is yet to be shipped so I don't know if she's planning to ship all 3 dolls together? Anyways, I think I'm just looking for some reassurance here? I've been told that it can take up to 6 months for an order to be delivered.

 

@Calust i think its definitely worth contacting her again. Banyo is quite good with customer service in my experience, so I dont think youd be bothering her. My last order did take a long time- over 4 months.

 

Hi dear, please don't worry we made a mistake on last batch of 26cm doll(over 50dolls),their back can't place straight very well so i decided to make new, that made some of order delayed but some of them can be finished within a week.

And yes sorry for my mistake i wrote a wrong tracking number because i have 3 same order like yours XD

Please don't worry I will send your dolls asap when they're finished

 

@Maskcat
Thank you so much for replying here! Knowing the reason why they are delayed makes me feel much better now.

 

Did anyone here get their shipping notice yet? It's supposed to be sometime in November, right? I'm asking here because I don't want to bother the artist.
EDIT: Lol I just checked the status on the website and it has updated!!!

 

My order status has finally updated as well! I placed the order in early July, so their 3-4 months estimate was a bit optimistic, but I've been through worse in this hobby.
Now begins the next adventure, seeing how the shipping will go in these uncertain times.

 

I just got my shipping notice!

Edit: Never mind that, she is allready here! The shipping must have gone insanely well. According to the tracking she was picked up on the 26th, if that is correct she moved from Hong Kong to Sweden in four days!

She is so pretty!

 

Congrats! Which sculpt did you get?

 

Thank you. I got Joy in tan.

Edit to add a picture. I gave her a basic face-up today.

 

Oh she's so pretty in tan, thanks for sharing! I love Joy's face... ♥

 

Thanks! I'm super happy with her. She's a perfect mix of gentle and alert. I am very impressed with the body. The tiny feet makes it a little bit tricky to get her to stand, but other than that she is very nice to pose and handle.
Right now she wears the eyes and wig that came with her, but I think I want to find some brown eyes and possibly a darker wig. I do like the style of the wig, though, it's very close to what I pictured for her.

 

I'm getting my Feline today! DHL actually tried to deliver her yesterday, but I wasn't home because I wasn't expecting it!
Shame, it would be such an awesome birthday gift

Btw, is anyone partaking in the anniversary event? I might get Inez and add the $30 needed to get the little cat doll, we'll see.

 

@Viridiansummer Did Feline arrive? I was tempted to order Klara and get the cat but decided to wait. I have been looking at the Maskcat MSD girls. The cat is really cute. I have no idea how to paint it.

@Calust Did you receive your order? Hope you post photos soon.

 

@Oliveoil Yes, I just got the package yesterday (the 4th)! I was so happy! I didn’t have time to open it earlier because I had to go to work (I work the evening shift.)

It's now about 3:30 AM where I live, I'm exhausted but I dressed them up with what I had and took some quick pics on a shelf because I really wanted to share them too! They're insanely cute and petite. Blythe clothes and shoes fit like a dream. Photos really don't do them justice, especially not my old iphone quality images. The wigs are also very silky and pretty and fit so well. I'm glad to have the trio in my possession. I'll try to take better pics in the future. Maskcat really makes some beautiful dolls! Just in case you haven't figured out which is who, from left to right: Joy, Feline and Inez.

 

@Calust They are lovely. Congratulations!

 

Congratulations! They are so cute together! I am happy they arrived safely.

 

Thanks everyone! Now that I have more dolls, I feel even more passionate to practice sewing clothes and make a diorama for them over the Christmas holidays. Also, how good are they at standing up? I have some Blythe stands which fit perfectly at their waist, but I'm afraid that they'll fall down and break and so for now they're just sitting awkwardly inside my glass cabinet.

 

I use stands for my girls. They seem to stand well. I just don’t want to take any chances. Sewing and making dioramas should be fun.

 

Oh, sorry I wasn't clear enough. I meant how well do they stand on a stand (and not by themselves.) I wouldn't risk letting them stand on their own either. I never used a doll stand before so I don't trust them completely lol, I fear that the doll will fall anyways. But if you had no trouble with your stands, then I shouldn't either.
