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.

No More Dollshe From Iplehouse or Luts?

Feb 11, 2008

    1. I do not like this kind of thing - when u don't know what to do and u can't do anything about that> this is very business thing to get all this old type of bodies be sold (and so quickly!) before begin to sell the very new one. But this is just not the art anymore. I love Saint and i would like to buy one but not in this way when it looks like a blackmail threat.
       
    2. Seconding this, really do want to see what Mr Dollshe's been working on.
       
    3. Batpig: It's so wonderful to see you here!! :fangirl:

      Batpig let me know about the news, so I posted a question for Tensiya on the 1:1 Q&A board. This is the reply I got from them:

      Reply from Tensiya staff
      Hi, dear :D
      Oh, I have happy news for you.
      I've read about it Dollshe club on cyworld yesterday,
      that Mr dollshe said that
      "he will renewer his doll, Hound, Saint, and Bernard" later.
      Head parts are changed very different, as 'take off' mask styles.
      Very new, and great method!

      Can you wait for a while?
      he is preparing his own page, and you can see it soon. :D
      Since our shop is now taking a rest for a while, Opening his own shop will be faster than. I think...;^^;

      have a good day~~

      sincerely yours

      What I got from this:
      - Hound, Saint, and Bernard will definitely stay and their optional heads will be upgraded to face plates.
      - Mr. Dollshe will be opening his own website in the future where you can purchase them in the meantime before Tensiya returns from their break.

      I hope that this will be useful to you! =) I'm just very glad that Hound will still stay, as I really hope to add him to my collection one day.
       
    4. Nice to know they should be back, but I'm still ordering as soon as I get my tax refund (hopefully only 2 days to go) because I had already been planning to order my Bernard in March. And don't want to wait however long it'll be before they're available again. The better news to me was that Iplehouse will have them all available until the end of the month.

      Now, if I can get a solitary Bernard head later on I may do that as Gamrut does have the ability to change how human he looks...
       
    5. This was really helpful! Thank you!~ ^^

      Well, face plate, huh? They'll be like Elfdoll Mir then...I dont know if I like that idea. But if they're planning to keep current head mold types then I'm happy. ^^
       
    6. I figured the girls and Van would be toast (and husky too?! that is a surprise). And the other heads going to pop-off faces? Eh. I may be putting in a bigger Iple order than I planned.
      I hope this great body that Mr. Dollshe is whipping up will fit on the old heads.
       
    7. Bunnydots, I had a feeling about Van and the girls, but Husky too?! Damn, that was the other one I wanted! :(

      Anybody just want a body??? :sweat
       
    8. Someone else from HC can correct me if I'm wrong, but although I've been a member for over 1 1/2 years, I haven't seen any photos of this doll posted, and the info I know about it is the same as you--that it's under preparation. If I missed something on HC, I'd love to see it, but honestly, we don't have any more information than what is posted here.
       
    9. Photos have not been released of the new doll or body. As soon as we get em I'll be sure to post them.
       
    10. I heard a rumor that the new body would be a different size. Does that mean taller, shorter, thinner, beefier...? It's a mystery! Maybe someone else knows a little more?
       
    11. ;_; this is sad for me....I really want a SA Husky. If only we had gotten a bit more warning I could have gotten the money together for him. D:
       
    12. Yuko, I really want a SA Husky too, but I'm hoping that the sculpts that Mr Kim comes up with in the future will be something even better or that people may sell their old dolls from time to time :)
       
    13. Poor Van. No surprise that he wouldn't be a high priority for Dollshe though. :/

      I'm hoping personally that there will be a new awesome body that will fit the old heads as well as any new ones. :) That would hopefully make it easier for people to track down old/discontinued boys on the market too - all you'd have to find would be a head instead of a full doll...
       
    14. Probably the Husky and SA Husky sculpt is one of the moulds being discontinued because of low sales--although, I'm not very surprised.
       
    15. I dont know where the idea of SA Husky and Husky as unpopular came up...cuz for me, I think they're very popular on the Korean and Japanese sites of Iplehouse and Luts...

      I guess we'll just have to wait to see which ones are being cut. I hope none of them get it tho. :eusa_pray
       
    16. A while back, if I'm not mistaken, didn't Mercy mentioned it by saying from what she have seen, the doll looks good...?

      If not, then I guess we're all waiting for the photos. XD
       
    17. Yes, Mercy and Christy have seen pics on Cyworld, but they currently don't have pernission to release them for public post. If they get permission, then they will share them with the rest of us.
       
    18. I am so glad that three of the boys will still be made!

      I'm not surprised that Husky didn't make the cut. He's well liked but not nearly as popular as Hound, Saint or Bernard. I've certainly seen more people (includig my partner) say they intended to buy a Husky in the future than people who say they currently have one which means that not enough people bought him up until now. How could we have known he wouldn't be around forever? Mr. Dollshe is an artist first and foremost, from that point of view it makes sense that he'd move on and do new things. Poor Husky. :(

      I am terribly excited about the release of the new body. CAN'T. WAIT. TO SEE. PHOTOS. :whee:

      But we'll have to start a new thread for that!!!
       


    19. I have a Husky, and an SA one on the way. I was afraid that the Husky sculpt would be one of the ones they discontinued which is why I went ahead and sprung for the SA boy.

      I am REALLY glad I did, as it's unlikely I'd be able to get him in the future.
       
    20. gayle: Oh, so it was Cyworld and not HC... Well then that does make sense why there are no pictures so far. Thanks for the info. :)
