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.

Old school company faceup vs newer artist faceup?

Feb 9, 2024

    1. I love seeing old school face ups it brings back happy memories of when I first got into bjds, most of my dolls are still stuck in that goth alternative look that used to be very common back then unless I buy a 2nd hand doll that already has a different style face up that i like i keep.
       
    2. I dont like the blue and yellow watercolor washes i see on many faceups. Then add a Joker red lip, follicles and veins to complete the madness.


      To each their own. Dearmine faceups are the cleanest ive seen in person. I prefer "sleek" and simple over realistic.

    4. I like my old school Celine; however, I must admit dolls with more shading, etc., seem to photograph much better than her.
