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.

    1. So sweet!

      And Evelien if you simply insert a piece of pipe cleaner into each arm, they will stay in any position you put them in.

      I love these little girls. I still have not painted my min-mermaid, but I would kind of like another planetdoll mini.....*sigh*

    2. Thanks for the pipe cleaner tip but... doesn't the 'fluff' on the pipe cleaners show anywhere..?

    3. Thank you cirquemom, they are sweet aren't they!

    4. I haven't noticed that it does- you run it up that channel where the string goes. The "fluff" kind of helps grab and hold the shape.
      :)
      But also- I don't have a PD mini. I did run them through my RS March, though, and it worked really well.

    5. I mean it doesn't show in the, er, inner elbow? Lol, what's it called? I'm gonna try adding some pipe cleaners to Kiki right now.

    6. I know what you mean- that little open space in the inside of her elbow? Honestly, I can't think that if it did it was noticeable. You can see a bit of the elastic there, so I guess you could see a bit of it, but would be so tiny, and you probably would only notice it if you were actually looking for it.

    7. After I posted I got Kiki out and I noticed that the gap is so tiny that it shouldn't be visible indeed. :) But then when I wanted to put pipe cleaners into her arms (and legs) I realized I brought my big collection of pipe cleaners to work (primary school) because I wasn't using them at all. D'oh. The stores are closed now, I'll have to buy new ones tomorrow. :)

    8. I have found that the best ones to use are the little white ones that are actually for cleaning pipes. In the USA they come in a little yellow cardboard sleeve. They don't have as much "Fuzz" as the craft pipe cleaners, and the wire is thinner.

    9. Thanks! I'll try to look for those specifically :D
       
      #389 Evelien, Sep 21, 2012
    10. Here in the USA you can buy them in virtually every store- grocery store, pharmacy, liquor store, 7-11, etc. Don't know what it's like in the Netherlands, though. :)

    12. Evelien: I have these ones: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/pipe-cleaners-32-count-Dill-s-all-cotton-6-inch-/00/s/OTYwWDEyODA=/$(KGrHqJ,!gwE8NWumGjnBPSG3g1NVQ~~60_12.JPG just to give you an idea what to look for. :)

      Sorry, was lurking. I'm going to be getting another PD mini some day.I had a WS Elf Renee and loved her. I regret selling her.

    13. I buy them at the local tabacco shop. No idea if the supermarket has them.
       
      #393 Cyador, Sep 21, 2012
    14. Thanks for the image! I'm confused though lol. You have shops just for tobacco? And why would they sell pipe cleaners..?

      -edit- ooooooh wait!!! I was thinking of a different type of pipes :-o

    19. Soooooo cute.
      I am really wanting another PD mini. But I still haven't painted my mermaid yet!!!
       
      #399 cirquemom, Sep 22, 2012
    20. Thanks ^^
      I'm especially in love with tan Renee!! That skin colour! Those ears! Those lips!! So cute <3

      Oh and I just got back from the tobacco shop, apparently we have those too, stupid me haha, and got me 100 pipe cleaners for &#8364;3. I'm already loving them as I'm wiring my Soulkid Asen. I never liked her posing, very 90 degrees if you know what I mean, but I just wired one arm (just the elbow really) and I'm already much happier!! I'll do my tiny PD girls in a sec too ^^
