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.

Mayfair Dark Tales Dolls Discussion Thread

Jan 28, 2013

    1. I bought a Dark Tales Maydeliene off the marketplace and I'm waiting for her to arrive! I'm so excited.
      Are there any other Dark Tales owners still around?!
       
    2. Well here she is, but I'm guessing there aren't too many around! A shame because she is beautifully sculpted, so delicate yet still strong and sturdy resin. She has beautiful freckled body blushing, I love her!

    3. She is lovely! I don't know much about these dolls but I admire their unique yet versatile look. I love the freckles on your girl.
       
    4. Thank you so much quicklikebunnies!
      I'm actually getting a Mayfair for my birthday too between my parents and boyfriend! My birthday's next week so I'll share her here when she arrives!
       
    5. Yay, congrats! Looking forward to seeing her!
       
    6. She's here she's here!
      Here is her sleepy face, I'm waiting on eyes for her OE head and making her alpaca wig as I type!

      I wish there were more owners/anyone around!
       
    7. Wow! She's a stunner! :D It's too bad there aren't more Mayfairs around.
       
    8. thank you so much! and thanks for replying too, so i dont feel like im shouting into an abyss hehe :hug:

      i agree, they're such lovely dolls. her body is quite different to the maydeleine's, perhaps i should post a reference incase any one is ever interested haha.
       
    9. Thanks! I feel bad being the only one in the thread, since I'm not a Mayfair owner and I sort of stumbled upon it recently, but glad I did! :love Not the first time I've been on DOA and wished there was more active discussion for a doll I really liked (or owned).

      The bodies are very unique, and not exactly commonplace, so I'm sure your reference would be appreciated if you felt like posting it!
       
    10. She's stunning! I would love to find one like this!
       
    11. Joining in this not-very-active thread! I found a Dark Tales Mayfair secondhand right before Christmas, and brought her home. I've had trouble with wigs for her, but then I put her in my "magic wig" (the one that fits everyone and currently is shared among three different dolls oops) and she looked perfect. I was planning on making her a black finger curled wig, but that will be a lot of work. I'm still sticking to my finger curled wig idea, but I see no reason why she can't have this one also. I originally named her Noelle, but looking like this I'm leaning towards Tomoe instead... although if I make her a finger curled wig I'll likely be partial to Noelle again. Oh the struggle.

      I've been too lazy to make clothes, so she stole Sango's kimono (which is far too large), but I have made a corset pattern, so I just need to actually start sewing.
