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.

    2. No, normal is still normal but it is lighter when Meronica was available. White is pinky white and oriental is new.

    4. Bimong said the high heeled feet will be available for the classic body!

    5. Yay! I'm happy about heel feet for the Classic body!

      And now a question (I truly apologize, I just want to make the right decision since this is the last chance to order new):

      One of my biggest gripes with multi-piece joints is that they can be hard to manipulate with the doll is clothed. They function beautifully when the doll is unclothed, but then you can't access the full range of motion of the knees, elbows, etc. when they are dressed in long sleeves or pants. An example of this would be having to pull out the peanut on an arm joint to bend it, rather than just bending the arm and having the peanut bend naturally.

      Can anyone with the new revised body weigh in on this issue?

      Also, does anyone know if the original 7" Dandelion head will be sold again in the future? I know Bimong said he was going to make "three expressions" for Dandelion, but the original is perfection in my opinion. One of my grail dolls is a Dandelion + Dollstown Elf hybrid. If the original Dandelion will be available later, I may buy the less expensive Classic Narae body in this order so I can save for Dandelion.

      Thank you!

    6. As far as I know, Bimong is still planning to do a 50cm body for the 7" Dandelion head.

      You do not have to pull out peanuts for the new knees and elbows. The joints work very smoothly. Of course tight pants ans sleeves can limit the range of motion. .

    7. @StellaMarigold don't feel bad about asking questions. For one, it keeps the thread active, and two, there are some friendly, knowledgeable people on this thread. @nancy_schroeder_ca is extremely knowledgeable and helpful! She has really made me feel welcome in this thread.

      I was disappointed when I read the previous thread that the feet don't fit the Classic, as I was planning on using the heel feet on my Classic body. But, then @nancy_schroeder_ca posted that there will be heeled feet for the classic. My Dandelion on classic body will be a part time model and fashion design student so she would be wearing heels at times.

    8. Thank you @nancy_schroeder_ca and @coleen! You are very kind!

      I'm happy to hear that Dandelion should be available again. Coleen, you are fortunate to have a Dandelion! She has a magical face, and I'm sure your fashion model-student will be beautiful!

      That's just what I wanted to hear re: the joints - I understand about tight sleeves and pants restricting range, I just didn't want to have to struggle with getting the joints to move smoothly under clothing.

    9. Can someone point me to Bimong's instagram please?
       
      #109 cvee, May 3, 2018
    10. It's bimong11. There is a link on the right side of his website.
       
      #110 nancy_schroeder_ca, May 3, 2018
    11. he does live videos often on instagram. Fun to watch how is all done.

    12. I tried to ask Bimong if the May preorder would have layaway available, but I don't think he understood me because he answered with when the May preorder date was. :lol:<3

      I'd imagine it would...? But I don't want to make any assumptions.

      His layaway options have always been a bit confusing for me, so would it be alright for me to ask everyone here what their previous experiences have been using layaway with his preorders?
       
      #112 aestellica, May 3, 2018
    13. He usually splits the order into three payments. The last time I did a layaway he sent me an Paypal invoice for the first payment. My order was $900 plus shipping and the payments were 300, 300 and the balance. I ask for the other invoices early so I don't know if he sends them automatically.

      His English skills are limited but he does very well if you keep your wording simple.

    14. Layaway is the only way I will be able to get my Narae from him this time, as long as no other distractions occur.
       
      #114 derilan85, May 3, 2018
    15. Thank you!
       
      #115 cvee, May 3, 2018
    16. Ah, okay! I've never actually done layaway ordering directly from a BJD site before, so I'm not exactly how sure how to make an order and checkout without being asked to pay in full..? I'm not quite sure how to phrase it, but I'm pretty inexperienced!

      Out of curiosity, what sculpts is everyone interested in ordering in May?
       
      #116 aestellica, May 4, 2018
    17. You just check out as normal and put "layaway please" in the comments. You just don't click on the PayPal link. You won't get an order confirmation email but you will get a PayPal invoice.

    18. Do you have to register on Bimong's site to place an order or can you order dolls as a 'guest'?
       
      #118 cvee, May 4, 2018
    19. @nancy_schroeder_ca @coleen
      yes thank you so much for all of your helpful informations :thumbup:hug: Although I don't post much, it is a pleasure seeing photos and reading the conversations.
       
      #119 marxwyn, May 4, 2018
    20. Just to confirm, Bimong says he will accept layaway again on the final preorder. 3 payments in 3 months.
