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.

Nakana Workshop Discussion

    1. Here are some poorly taken photos but I hope they serve!

      The main part of head looks slightly warmer because I couldn't completely wash off the pastel I used to match NS.
      This definitely opened my BJD Pandora Box for 1/3 dolls. I already bought Lina head from Jay for a vacant bust stand at a snitching price, which I wasn't considering buying one brand-new even though I've been interested in her.

      Received my Sisca. She's very lovely, but unfortunately just not for me. The body is wonderful and I'm sad I don't have a head to throw on it because it's so very nice at posing.

    5. Aww she's lovely, @sammu - very curious about the cons (as I can't make out any personally, but I'm hopeful of owning Sisca one day)

    6. What a shame you and her don't suit @sammu ! The color is particularly lovely too.

      My girl won't be back from painting for some time so it was nice to see a Sisca even for a moment :)

    7. I have a Liv head I got secondhand but she’s a beaut! I am saving up for the female body they have….. I’m also looking for a male body so it’s cool they’re gonna work on one.
       
    8. It isn’t really cons for me; I think her head is too big for the body and she just doesn’t suit my collection. I like her body a lot, but finding and matching tans is a pain (I did it before earlier this year and just accepted a mismatch lol). I think I just prefer more stylized dolls than realistic.

      I hope you love yours! Her resin color is very beautiful for sure.
       
    9. I hope I don't miss it IF you ever decide to rehome her! She is so pretty and I have been waiting on the next sale to aquire one in tan!

    10. @Lady Maeve I'd nab her, but currently have dolly things in the works as it is. (Alas!) @sammu has her in the MP right now. <3

    13. My Sisca came and got painted and I am regretting the dramatic makeup choices I made a bit. I might get her repainted and then decide if she's for me after that. As it is I'm still on the fence even though I think she's super pretty!

      A family member said she looked like a fairy princess which could have been an attempt to make me feel better :D

      I think I'll change her clothes again tomorrow. Maybe it's a styling thing.

    14. oh I hope things turn better with you and Sisca! Different faceups makes a impact for sure!
       
    15. Would love to see some pics!
       
    16. Haha as requested some photos, sorry the evening light is pretty dim so I did what I could.

      She's so lovely! I think I just wish this character was a smaller doll, if that makes sense. And feeling like this sculpt isn't quite right for the character I wanted to build around her makes this so difficult for me despite knowing she's a total stunner.

    17. It's disappointing when that happens. She IS very pretty though. Like you said, maybe a style change - different wig, eyes?
      Whatever you decide, good luck. :thumbup
       
    18. I have my grail Panya full doll on layaway now. Gray skin instead of light tan. I sold the head right away when normal skin did not work with my Panya (I couldn't afford tan back then) now that the gray skin is an option, and they offered layaway during the summer sale, I jumped in! I don't see much update on Nakana discussion lately. I wonder how everybody is doing?

    19. Very excited to see her! I love the gray skin but am unsure if I want my Rati to be gray, normal or light tan… I still want it to be passsable as a realistic skin tone. Maybe seeing yours next to your range of skin tones you already own will help me decide!
       
    20. My Philomedra is here <3 She is a fictional character based on my grandmother and her name is from a book called the Book Charmer. I am in AWE I don't even want to do faceup, she is just so gorgeous as is.:love The second photo is with her great granddaughter Ginny.
