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.

Neo-Angelregion iMda doll - Discussion Thread

    1. The login menu won't show up in Safari. I have to use a different browser for the menu to show up. If it's not there for you, try a different web browser.
       
    2. It would't show up on Safari so I downloaded Chrome. Thanks guys! :)
       
    3. There are blank Natassa's available on Soom!
       
    4. They're available in normal or cream white skin until midnight 24th (Korean time). It doesn't look as if they're limited except by the short period. I'm quite pleased because I've been asking the artist if they could be released this way as it's so hard for people across the world to buy them when they're very limited in number (I usually have to set my alarm clock for the middle of night in England).

      I've ordered one in normal skin.
       
    5. Thanks for requesting a timed release for us! I ordered one in white skin. Could you see if they have plans to release Laureen? It would be nice if there was a faceup option, but that doesn't stop me buying!
       
    6. I also set my alarm clock very early in the morning (4am) for buying my Monika. It's much eassier if they offer their dolls this way, short open period but not limited in quantity. :)
       
    7. Oh my! I may not be able to resist!
       
    8. As far as I can understand (we're using online translation which can be quite bizarre) there are no plans to release Laureen within the next 18 months.

      However Lim Dong A is planning to release a NEW face for the 5.2 next year!

      I mentioned that I had to restring all my 5.2s as they were so loose and she will try to fix this along with any other problems we have with the body. If you have any particular problems you'd like me to pass on then post them here and I'll summarise them.

      I'll also mention that we would like a face-up option, if possible.
       
    9. A new face sounds wonderful! I asked about Laureen and the faceup option on the Q&A board. So we shall see! Soom moves in strange ways. I'll get Monika out and see what comments I have on the body!
       
    10. My Limited Steam Punk Monika (NS) arrived while I was on vacation!!! So, just got it yesterday. I've taken so many photos already :). And, this is my first iMda doll, and she's the 5.2. I haven't noticed the floppiness that a lot of people noticed. She's actually quite well strung. So, I don't know if Lim Dong already tweaked the bodies or not like I've heard, but my doll arrived in great condition. And, I love the outfit and style Muikahaco put together :D. I'll post many pics, I'm sure, but here are a few!

    11. Congratulations! She's lovely. I have two no-option Monikas - one bought from Soom and the other 'rescued' from ebay - who are based on the fairytale characters Rose Red and Snow White and on the style of illustrator Nicoletta Ceccoli. I only got them back from face-up a few weeks ago.

      I spoke to Lim Dong A about the bodies on 11th December. I had to knot the main strings on all my no option 5.2s four inches or more below the initial knot so I was taking at least eight inches out of the total length.
       
    12. I'm glad Ms. Dong listened to everyone's advice then, about the stringing and looseness problems. And thanks Hilary, I'm glad you like my girl and the pics!! :)
       
    13. I missed the last ordering period and wondered if there is any information on when another order period for this size will be? I seem to have lost interest in every thing but the 2 Imdas I have managed to get (so far) :)
       
    14. There is a new sculpt due sometime this year - I don't know when but as most of the others I was told about have been released I'm hoping it won't be too long.

      My normal skin Natassa arrived on Saturday and I'm quite disappointed. She came with a broken hand. Soom asked for a photo which I thought was a bit unnecessary as they can see I contacted them the same day. I'm also concerned that a new hand won't match. My Amellia is pale normal, Fepe is quite a lot darker and Natassa's head matches Fepe but her body is a bit darker/redder (not massively so and it's hard to photograph but it is a disappointment ).
       
    15. Sorry about the broken hand! I think they need the pictures for the insurance company. At least you don't have to send it back!
       
    16. I hate to disturb a thread that isn't already quite busy and I'm new here, I feel a bit conspicuous, but I adopted Melacacia's Agatha recently from the MP after having been in love with her since I first saw her on Flickr. After a week of woking things out, finding clothes, touching up her face and replacing lashes, waiting (impatiently) for her wig, she's ready to introduce. I usually rename my dolls but 'Agatha' is so perfect, I'm keeping it.
      [​IMG] Thanks everyone! I adore her, even her posing, which is much better than I expected, I haven't mastered standing her though, she's string pretty loosely.
       
    17. Your Agatha is hauntingly beautiful!!! :D. I'm glad you had a chance to get her!!! I'm looking forward to more of SOOM's 5.2s.
       
    18. Your Agatha is beautiful! I agree that her name is perfect for her - one of mine whom I had painted in the style of the original "Little Hope" also kept the name.

      I finally got the replacement hands for my Natassa - after an awful lot of hassle. Not only weren't they replying to my messages on the board (at one point there were 4 pages of answered posts ahead of me) but I ended up having to send the broken hand back along with her certificate before they'd send me a replacement. Considering that she'd only just arrived (with a broken hand) I'm still pretty upset.

      PS The Neo-AngelRegion site uses a Flash menu which is why it doesn't show up in some browsers. It's not the browser itself that's the problem - it's the fact you need to download specific versions of Flash for various browsers. (I discovered that when we had to rebuild my computer recently - I have four different browsers because I need to test websites).
       
    19. I love your Agatha! Love how you've styled her. Everything is so perfect for her very adorable sculpt. Congratulations on your girl!

    20. Your Agatha is wonderful! I thought I didn't like Agatha, but that faceup is awesome!
