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

Mar 31, 2010

    1. Thanks! Aww...just finished paying off my layaway. So, probably another few months before I get Manon then....But fingers crossed it's sooner, lol!
       
    2. If it's sooner, it will be a pleasant surprise!.
       
    3. Ok, who is buying a 5.2 girl? ;)
       
    4. Not me this time, I have A Natassa with a face up and a Laureen head with a face up, and two girls with out face ups. I don't need another girl who needs a face up! I am very glad I got the Laureen head!
       
    5. I'm late checking this thread but wanted to comment on the posing and clothes -- My iMda girl sits and stands (with a stand and even without for a pic) and I think she's quite graceful looking. I have a kip in her neck to help hold her head in position, which make a huge difference. That said, she's not a doll who can do extensive posing, but she sits and stands.

      Clothes -- Clothes (and patterns) for the Dollstown elf and Kaye Wiggs Nelly bodies seem to work well, though you have to watch out for the sleeves. the iMda has longer arms.

    6. Does anyone have a picture of Sara? I would love to see an owner picture of the doll.
      I think the sculpt is beautiful. Of course I didn't see the ordering notice until today.
       
    7. My Agathe is shipping soon! I'm so excited :)
       
    8. My Monika in a new wig and back to her default outfit :):

    9. So pretty!!
      I love the custom clothes, it's in my favorite style and so far I've only seen them done by Japanese seamstresses.
      Where did you order the wig? It fits the 5.2 so well! :D

      I'm thinking of ordering a 5.2 myself secondhand, either Sara, Monika or Sophia. I heard that they're releasing a Sophia (boy ver.) in 4.3 next year so maybe I'll skip her 5.2... Now it's down to Sara or Monika, hard to decide, they're both so lovely :drool
       
    10. Thank you! And I totally agree; I've only seen that level of detailed creativity and seam work in Japanese artists... The blue wig is a Lullaby Poem wig :). And yay, can't wait to see a bigger sized boy!
       
    11. Does anyone else have problems with the 5.2 body? I cant get it to pose, its very floppy and I'm just not sure what to do with it..... any suggestions?
       
    12. Hi :). My 5.2 came well strung, but I know others have mentioned floppiness in the older 5.2s--I haven't heard anything with the newer releases: Monika, Sara, Sophia, or Agatha. Is yours a newer release? I know others have mentioned restringing and/or sueding.
       
    13. Mine is brand new from the last release. Its just very hard to pose... wondering if I am just used to volks ;)
       
    14. I'll definitely say the 5.2 is my worst overall poser! There's a clear difference between her single-jointing and even my newer 4.2 Manon, let alone my other dolls from other companies that are double jointed. I was surprised by how well and how much better my 4.2 posed than my 5.2 when I got her. The 5.2 doesn't have groves that help the arms and legs click into positions that help with posing like the 4.2. But I still love my 5.2; Monika just isn't super versatile, and it seems yours is the same as far as I can tell, lol. But sueding or restring might definitely help with creating more tension for your girl :).
       
    15. I have been reading here on D.O.A. some older posts about how the imda 5.2 dolls will not pose well, how loose the stringing is and how they are hard to get to sit down. The posts I read are from 2011. I am thinking of getting one of these girls whenever they come out again. Are they better now?
       
    16. My stringing i would say is a little loose, but the body itself is hard to work with. I received agathe from the last current release. It is floppy, the legs and hips twist all over the place and doesn't stand up well. I haven't sueded it or anything as I've been waiting for Agathe's head to return home, but its not my favorite body I own... prob the hardest body to pose that i currently have....

      Speaking of Agathe, here is a pic from Eludy's....

      Pics to come once i receive her home. :)

      Here she is ... arrived home today :)

    17. What a beautiful girl and the dress is so romantic looking! I am disappointed that Soom has not improved these dolls!
       
    18. What is a kip and where can I get one?
