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.

Peak's Woods Mini Discussion Thread

Jun 15, 2008

    1. I finally paid off my Lavender-pink Romantic Lady Bee! I am really excited for her. Does Peakswoods usually take the full 50-60 days after the layaway to ship out?

    2. @karleecakes - First let me say congrats!!! Second, yes it really does take that long.. or a bit longer. Worth the wait in my opinion though, hang in there.
       
    3. Thanks for the info. I'm sure she will be worth the wait. Everyone's pictures are so beautiful.
       
    4. Mia came home today!
      Its raining so I couldn't get a very good photo, but her skin color is really lovely :)

    6. Cydril, I was so excited to see your Romantic Mia today!:) It brightened my whole day, believe me. Your girl is positively stunning in that outfit! I love that you styled her in this gorgeous and exotic way...she's so unique.

    7. I got a shipping notice for my Dotty Muse this morning! :D

      I have been off dolls for a month or so just due to the holidays being so hectic... and also at the beginning of the month, I took the dive into lolita fashion for myself, so I can have cute clothes for both my dolls AND me. :lol:

      I don't have a permanent name for my Dotty Muse yet... we'll have to see if the test one sticks after she arrives! I hope I'll remember to do a box opening video this time!

    8. designedforsmiles, how exciting! And heartfelt congratulations!:) I can't wait to see owner photos of Dotty Muse. And how thrilling that you're going lolita yourself...that has to be such a joyful and fascinating experience.
       
    9. If everything goes right, I'm hoping to put Punky Beetle, on a boy body, on a layaway program, I'm mostly waiting a message back at this point. He is just such a cute doll, he'd be my first boy, second doll, I really hope I can get him! oAo He'll be totally blank and naked, eyeless and wigless, but he'll be totally worth it
      If I can get him, I'm gonna call him Oliver...And he's going to really like pink...
       
    10. Ooh, did you find one secondhand? :) Seems like a rare find! As far as I know, KyungMin is still working to update the FoB boy body, and Pan mentioned during the Dolly Wishes event that it's one of the more difficult projects on their plate for the moment!


      I haven't taken many photos of Dotty Muse so far, but we're trying out the name Maribel for her. :) I took a box opening video, but I think it'll need quite a bit of editing before it's publicly viewable, hehe... :sweat

      Here she is! She's the first fullset I've bought from Peak's Woods so far, and I'm quite in love with her~ :D I think I should order those brown Nine9Style boots for her, though... the black boots I found in my doll box look okay, but I think the brown with brass findings would really pull in the brown in her wig and the gold in her necklace. :aheartbea

    11. Congrats on your Dotty Muse! She is beautiful! :daisy
       
    12. designedforsmiles, oh wow! She's absolutely stunning! I really wanted one of these, but in the end I just couldn't stretch my budget far enough to make it work during the holidays. So I'm quite happy to live vicariously by admiring yours. She's utterly gorgeous! Heartfelt congratulations!:D And I agree about those 9 Style boots...I know the ones you're talking about and they would go perfectly with her.

    13. @designedforsmiles - She is so pretty! I just loved her faceup and styling as well, she is a piece of heaven. I was kinda hoping to see you and her dressed up together in Lolita fashion together!! :kitty1
       
    14. I did but the sale ended up falling through :c They ended up having second thoughts about selling him...Maybe someday.
       
    15. @designedforsmiles Your Dotty Muse is absolutely adorable! The faceup really compliments the sculpt. Is that the lavender-pink skintone?
       
    16. Thank you~! :D Haha, I have her set up next to my desk and I just feel warm and glowy whenever I look at her! :aheartbea

      Thank you so much! I'll try to take more photos of her for your sake, hehe! :)

      Thank you so much~! Hehe, I do consider her a bit divine, I'm quite taken with her~ :D And I'm flattered by your interest in our coordination! :blush Hehe, I'm still working on putting together a complete coordinate for myself; I have a dress in a similar style to hers but I don't have accessories to match just yet! Someday, though! Ah, and before that, I should mention to anyone considering ordering the dress set--the gauzy black fabric in the sleeves and bodice is thin and a bit transparent, so there's potential for her nipples to show through. :sweat The gathering over the bust does overlap and hide it a little (and it would probably be even less visible on smaller busts) and her body isn't blushed so it's not terribly noticeable, but I think for modesty's sake, I'm going to make her a little bra or cami to wear underneath.

      Aww, my sympathies! It is a really cute sculpt, and as they seem so rare, I imagine it would be tough to let one go... here's hoping at least that KyungMin will be able to make a breakthrough with the FoB boys and we'll be able to order them again soon~!

      Thank you! :) I really love her faceup--I think those round, dramatic eyes are perfect for lolita, and I just find her little teeth so endearing! And yes, she is the lavender-pink skintone! I was a little unsure of whether or not I'd be able to handle a fantasy color, but I fell in love with in in person! The blush on her cheeks and nose does seem a little strong and peachy against the lavender-pink, but I think the brown wig I picked for her softens it a bit.
       
    17. @designedforsmiles - Thanks for the info on the dress, I did order that dress with my vampire KoonieS and I'm very excited for her arrival. I pif on the 11th of November so maybe she will come home this month, we will see. Anyways, thanks to your info I'm considering getting her a little lacy bra to go with it.. maybe in black or white. I love love love your Dotty Muse!! She is soo cute! Her styling is perfect! I asked for my KoonieS to have more neutral lips like Dotty's faceup, I'll have to share her when she comes home. I bet Dotty and KoonieS would look super cute side-by-side!

      It would be awesome if all the Peak's Woods fans could meet up sometime at a doll convention.. I'd love to go to Seoul in Korea to see the PW ladies/makers and to meet up with all of you! I really want to try some authentic Kimchi as well and my Hubby would love to go to a Starcraft Blizzard match there.. it's definitely on the bucket list!
       
    18. That would be so cool! I definitely have to go see the wonderful people at PW next time I go to South Korea. They also have DollFree market that happens every few months or so which would be awesome to go to and see all the handmade Korean doll clothes, items, bjds, etc. :D
       
    19. KoonieS is quite a cutie! I was considering ordering her and then Dotty Muse came out and I was lovestruck~ haha! :D

      Oddly enough, I had a dream about something like this last night! I was in a vendor room set up like an anime convention, but the booth for Peak's Woods didn't look anything like the tables I've seen in person. Instead of a table they had "bins" like you sometimes see for plush toys and DVDs at anime conventions... big rectangular wooden setups with short walls to hold product... and they were full of the cutest FoF fullsets, wrapped up in plastic just like plush toys! I was grabbing up sculpts like Naomi and Chichi and lamenting that I didn't have enough money to buy the whole stock! :XD: Haha! I must have been mixing my Peak's Woods feelings with my wishing I could've gone to the local anime convention that was held just last weekend...
       
    20. @ClarasCraft - Wow, DollFree market sounds like a dream come true!! Thanks for letting me know something like this existed there, when we go I'll have to align my trip with one of these dolly markets, do you know if they have a specific website for scheduling?

      @designedforsmiles - Yes, I really love KoonieS, Dotty Muse, and Mori Moth very much in the FOB line. When I saw those promotional photos of KoonieS with the little vampire teeth I was smitten! Peak's Woods promotional photos and design concepts are really lovely and attractive, they are very in tune with their customers desires I think, they release everything I want anyways! ;)

      Your dream sounds really cool! Do you plan on getting a FOF to keep your Dotty company in future? I wish I'd have a fun dolly dream, my dreams (when I remember them) are usually really strange and disjointed. & I'd love to meet PW in person and pick out a doll from them to take home from a convention, it would be instant gratification and the doll would have a great memory associated with it as well.
