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. Will the girl in the 1st through 3rd pictures become availible?

    3. The dolls in the first through third photos are art dolls made for exhibition. If you are interested in one of them to go into production for sale, I can ask her if that is possible.

      Thanks for your interest!

    6. Have these dolls all been approved as on-topic by the mods?
       
      #6 nanlady, Apr 8, 2010
    7. I saw them mentioned in other threads (they have been available mainly from Korea) and they were not off topic.

      The mini doll kits are not strung and are not for sale-- they are free gifts. I am not selling them here, just showing them as the free gift (like shoes or clothing or eyes.. they are just accessories you can put with your dolls, like pets).

    8. MJ Koo is not on-topic for Den of Angels because her wrists and ankles are not jointed. Dollyhollic - please remove MJ Koo from your Announcement - thanks! The mods are discussing Q-Pito!

    9. Ok thanks Zag, I did that. Also remarked the discussion topic in Tiny for deletion.

      Fingers crossed for Q-Pito!

    10. Q-pito has been deemed on-topic for DoA!
       
      #10 Zagzagael, Apr 9, 2010
    11. Q-Pito says "Thank you DOA!"

      We will post some gallery pictures of Q-Pito later today, showing all kinds of different looks he can have.

      Florianne, I will ask the artist in my next email and get back to you. She sent me some drawings of a new doll she is working on, and I am anxious to go see those now. Gu Mi Jung enjoys trying many new styles, and hopefully we'll have many more things from this talented woman over the next few months.

    12. When does the first order period end?

    13. Q-pito was sold at herrendoll before. There is an archive news thread from 2008. Herren has a my dolling section, too.
      Is Gu Mi Jung also the sculptor of the other herren girls? It says so in the old news thread. Does that mean, we can have dolls like those wonderful girls from You in future? The girl in the first 2 pictures looks like them. *being excited*

    14. The Herrendoll website has dolls sculpted by numerous artists. If you look by each picture, there is a mention of the sculptor, stylist, and who did the photography. Gu Mi Jung did the photography of Samantha Herren dolls, not the sculpting.

      Gu Mi Jung sculpts/sculpted: Narsha (and friends), Zaoll Luv, Zaoll Muse, Q-Pito, and Mj. Koo
      Jung-Hee Park sculpted: Bambola
      Shin Young-A sculpted: Samantha Herren
      Hyeon Jeong Lee sculpted: Saeyan

    15. any news from the artist?
       
      #15 Florianne, Apr 23, 2010
    16. Hello everyone
      Dolling is by artist Gu Mi Jung, who was Bimong's first student.

      She has a friendship with the Herrendoll artist, and they had Gu Mi Jung's dolls on the Herrendoll site. Some of the other artists are people I have not met, but the common thread is they are friends of Bimong or former students.

      Anyone who wants to order a Dolling doll and get the special Mini Doll kit free, please order by this weekend as we are sending her the order Monday morning!

      Thank you for your support and interest.
