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.

Noble Dolls Discussion Part 1

Apr 12, 2012

    1. I know that boiling will soften the resin and allow you to change its shape, but I've never tried it. I'm always worried about damaging the doll permanently :shudder
       
    2. @DreamSight I sort of get what you mean--it almost seems like that hand pose is made exclusively for perpetually brushing her hair behind her ear or for holding an imaginary piece of string. I've never tried resin boiling (or steaming) so I can't give any advice on that... but I wish you the best of luck if you decide to attempt it!
       
    3. Finally, after see a lot of modification tutorial and videos, I decided not to do it. The hand has a lot of resin mass at knuckles and I think will be impossible to modify with a natural pose. I'll try to hide the hand or put holding something. T^T
       
    4. @designedforsmiles she is so beautiful!:love Do you mind if I ask how you got her custom cast? I'm sorry I'm new to this company and I don't really understand how they work:sweat
       
    5. The first Raspberry dolls were handcasted by the artist. After that, they were Jpopdolls exclusives and were no longer made as artist casts except for a few doll conventions if I remember well. If you want one, you'll have to search the second hand market !
       
    6. @Sept thank you so much! You're very helpful. So then jpopdolls doesn't even sell them anymore?
       
    7. Jpop still sells them, but on a preorder basis. I placed my preorder for Raspberry last November. I'm not sure how often Asella/Nobledolls offers preorders, but I can tell you I'm still waiting on my girl. They do have Rhubarb in stock in green skin as the color was a mistake from the factory.
       
    8. @marmal7 thank you! I understand now, everyone is so helpful.
       
    9. Anytime! Good luck ;)
       
    10. Yup Jpopdolls sell them, but only factory cast dolls, no custom/artist cast ^^

      My Noble Doll family grew a bit lately, here is my wonderfull Rivanone <3

    11. Sept, I am so in love with your Rivanone :D she is so dreamy and beautiful :aheartbea
       
    12. Wow, she's gorgeous! I hadn't heard of that particular sculpt.
       
    13. @Sept thank you!

      Wow she's so beautiful!
       
    14. Oh I'm so envious! I've been eyeing Rivanone on Asella's flickr for awhile - how on earth did you get hold of one? I haven't found them available literally anywhere. Was she an artist cast?
       
    15. She is indeed an artist cast, I got her from the french second hand market. To my knowledge there's only around 7 Rivanone (I might be wrong). The person I bought her from had 4 in total, over time, but sold at least 3 of them. I don't know where they went though :C
       
    16. Is the one you own the one that was on display at doll rendezvous in Paris last year? If so I saw her in person and was like :drool
       
    17. I don't think so, mine is tan grey !
       
    18. Oh nooooo, heartbreaking... I suppose I must just hold out hope for a cast run through Jpop Dolls. I just love her so much - her eyeshape is enchanting!
       
    19. Just received that beauty from a trade ! All my girl are mean to be ginger. XDD
