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.

    1. -news thread

      -Aki

      -Aiko

      :D I love Aiko. She reminds me of Little Monica Yuria, but plumper (Little Monica and nDoll are both the same sculptor).

    2. aaah, I am in love with Aiko too. I am considering getting just her head.... I have Little Monica Yuria, and while I like her, something just has not *clicked* with us. She's had three faceups and we are still not really bonding. But when I saw Aiko, it was instant love...so I may sell Yuria's head and replace it with Aiko for my character. The sculpts are very similar (I sat and studied them yesterday, with Yuria sitting beside my computer :) ) Aiko's eyes are a little different, especially the shape of the lower lids; and her lips are fuller. She is soo beautiful!

    3. Aiko is cute! She reminds me a bit of Volks F-34. They've done a lovely job with her!

    4. Well, I caved and ordered a WS Aiko head last night...will post pics as soon as she's arrived. So excited!! I very rarely fall in love with a face at first glance, but there is something special about her.... :)

    5. Yaaaaay! Congrats Sylphide! Can't wait to see what she looks like in owner pics!

    6. Ooh, congrats Sylphide! :)

      I think Aiko does look a little more expressive than Yuria somehow - maybe it is the eyes as you said; Aiko seems very alert. And I can see the F-34 resemblance too now that you mention it.

      nDoll seems to like getting different faceup artists and costumers to do variations of their dolls, judging by all the versions of Louis and Luna, so hopefully they'll show Aiko and Aki in different styles too. I think Aiko would look so pretty in dark straight hair, with bangs.

    7. I agree! I was thinking of purchasing her head for my Version 2 of my first girl (an SD10 Megu) who has the default Megu wig. XD

    9. I don't really care about Aki, but Aiko is such a beauty. :aheartbea I try to have some plan when getting new dollies, but some how I seem to fail. I don't really need 'just another pretty girl', but she's just so... pretty. *_* I also love the way they used those mismatched eyes in her selling pictures. Unfortunately I don't have any money at the moment, but maybe someday... Though there is so many others on that 'someday list'. :sweat

      Congratulations for Sylphide for getting her!

    14. Thanks for sharing pics of her!! I'm pretty sure I want her to be the 2.0 version of my first doll. XD

    15. Another version of Aiko with a different faceup: http://www.ndoll.net/skin/shop.php?PG=view&uid=5432

      I've got to give huge props to nDoll's faceup artist(s) - they manage to make the same mold look so different every time. I used to think Aiko looked a little like F-34, early DIM and maybe Customhouse, but in this new version makeup she almost resembles DoD's E-An. *__* I'm impressed.

    16. the first Aiko looked like F-34 or DIM? The first thing that came into my mind when I saw her for the first time : DOC Twingkey....?

      Especially this very first photo : http://www11.icomis.com/~medicom/image/ndoll/100304_AIKO_1.jpg
      isn't she very Twinkey-ish? ^^;;;

      And Aiko with the new faceup, instead of E-an she really reminds me of Iplehouse *_*
      Maybe it's her full lips.....
       
      #16 lileychristie, Apr 2, 2010
    17. wondering if anyone here ordered an Aki? XDD
      I think I'm madly in love with the mold after seeing the 2nd ver!!
      I'm already very smitten with him the first time he's released *_______* but the 2nd one really just made me feel... sold haha
