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.

New Iplehouse Dolls - SID - Lets Speculate and Chatter

Jan 20, 2010

    1. Thanks for the photo. I can see what you mean, although if I wasn't looking for it, I don't think I'd really notice that much from the pic. I'd probably think your little one was just a different resin. Are either of these dolls the newer UV real skin resin? Thanks for the advice on keeping them safe from the sunlight.

      Both of your guys are so cute!
       
    2. I don't recall when the UV real skin came into general use. I ordered Byuri in Dec. 2010 (he was one of the first two EGs) and Barahan a year later. The greening happened last summer, when I had Byuri in shorts and a tank top. Little Erzulie, who is also real skin and was displayed beside him, has also paled but less noticeably.
       
    3. The UV-protectant RS resin went into production in Aug-Sept 2009. There was a nice explanation here of the chemical reactions going on with further links. I do see how his little hand paled. It's hard to see if it greened like the I've seen in pics before the protective additive. Those were downright Kermit.

      I'd still buy RS (or the darker resins) if it suited the doll. They just need extra TLC.
       
    4. Giorgio in Make up B and a black wig reminds be of Takeshi Yamamoto in reborn. I don't know why. Giorgio is unsmiling, Takeshi always smiles...maybe I am making up the likeliness to convince myself to buy Giorgio. I am liking him the more I look at him, but he is too stylised for my taste. That might change once I see more owner pics.
