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. Hi Willobea :)
      Thank you for starting this thread. I have been an admirer of Irina's dolls for a while, and find the forlon expression on her "Lora" is charming. Apparently, the last time Irina had a pre-order it was in August of 2022; I plan on ordering a "Lora" next time Irina has a pre-order. It would be fun to have a "little sister" to my MSDs.

    3. Any updates on next Lora preorder?

    4. I think as of now she is only selling to her country, no worldwide pre orders yet. If you have a friend in Russia you can ask them to try the next time she opens one up. Seems she was doing August and then late January in the past for her orders, but that could change. She will post on her IG the dates. :love

    5. :( no friends there. I’ve written her a few times but no reply. I mean I have two I wanted a milk chocolate one and to see if she made any new versions.

    6. Yes the chocolate one is beautiful! And even if you had a friend their chances of getting one is slim! Keep checking second hand market is the best option or put a WTB out there? You never know!

    7. That makes sense. Due to world events, some Russian artists are not doing internaltional pre-orders while others do.
      I follow Irina's instagram and it has not been updated since August 17, 2022. Maybe she has another acount?
      I hope she opens pre-orders again, her dolls are delightful.

    8. Yes I look often but as u know they go super fast! And at a much higher resale. Do u still have your original girl? She is also a beauty! I saw someone post her recently but it wasn’t you so I wasn’t sure if you still had yours.

    9. I don't think she does, but I would think if she is doing another it would be soon, but she hasn't posted anything on there. Maybe she posts to the VK sites? Not sure how to get on those, but several people are on there, I think it's for Europe but you can join.

    10. Ahhh funny story, I had sold my original Lora when I obtained the earlier one, and as luck would have it, I was able to buy Lora back! So I have had her back I think two years now. I also was lucky to snag another in the last preorder she did that was open to US. She's in the vanilla resin tone, and still in her box! I haven't decided what to do with her... the dolls keep piling up here,,, lol Eventually I will decide to get her a face up, or let her go. Just not there yet. I need to get her out and peek at her again!

    13. I know, it was crazy weird because she had her listed for a month and then I wrote her and others had written her? I don't think she knew it was me buying her back, And that was right when the pre order had just happened? It really was true dolly magic luck!

    14. I will let you know! I was really wanting the lightest color, Light. This Vanilla I feel isn't as light color resin as I was hoping.

    16. Irina Kuzina will have another Lora preorder On 11/15- however , only accepting crypto currency
      And no layaway.
      So sadly, I don’t use this method and am really bummed! But it isn’t optional nor is her usual layaway. :(

    18. Same, don't use that type of payment. Oh well, will be happy with my two! Maybe in 6-8 months there will be some on the marketplace? Maybe I will find someone to trade for light resin? IDK Need to get her out of her box and look at her! :roll:
       
      #38 willobea, Oct 31, 2023
    19. Yes and post pics lol! I love looking at her especially now that I can’t get her :( the ones I see for sale without artist face up or wig have asking price of 2k- hence why I really hoped to get her direct at 700$ - I’m so sad!!!

    20. YaY! Exciting news that Irina is opening up an international preorder in the middle of November. The cryptocurrecy thing may deter some people who don't use that form of currency. I wonder what cryptocurrency Irina will accept.
