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.

Question about Migidoll Ryu...

Sep 10, 2007

    1. Ah if you don't mind Paperbot. I can ask my sis to take photo of a resin comparison :) She also has a Volks doll NS :)

       
    2. What's this about the 10th? 8D

      My BW Ryu head matches current CP BW, but I have him on a BW Fantasy doll body. I'm cheap like that >.>
       
    3. curious about wig and eye size...

      also more importantly, did anyone get him from migidoll? if so what did you pay in shipping?
       
    4. As far as wigs... an 8-9 fits well. He hasn't got a big head, but it's not really small. I could fit 16mm eyes in Hayden, but apparently others couldn't... he wears 14mm now, and could probably go down to a larger 12mm, but no lower.
       
    5. yeah, :) my order is in. Ive been talking to migi since july, and now i have made my order for october ;)

      yeah!!!!! and DiM is doing a special on minimee bodies (the doll in mind body) so i will have a full doll around my birthday!!!!! OF MY BOYFRIEND HAHA
       
    6. That's AWESOME!

      I cannot figure out her site at all. The message board totally doesn't work for me and an attempt to translate the site ended up being a waste of time. I really want to be sure to secure one of these beautiful boys buy MAN it's going to be tricky to figure out how ;)

      congrats to you though!
       
    7. wait, we can place the order now?
      i'm also having trouble figuring out the site... does anyone know how to go about placing an order? i saw about emailing her in the earlier post, but i don't think paypal has a "won" option, so what then? and shipping... rargh, :? lol
       
    8. I e-mailed her to ask... if she replies I'll post it :)

      Everyone should have a Ryu :)
       
    9. aka_spooky, you're my herooooo! ryu is the only boy doll i would buy.
       
    10. you guys are seriously getting me excited now! i hope we can order early:D
       

    11. I have a bit of a problem with this. She has already stated when the dolls will start to be released and yet you still contact her for an advance order?

      Well... let us know what happens with regards to the email since Ryu is a much saught after doll...though I am sure there will be plenty to go around, so no need to push over him! :P
       
    12. are we sure there will be enough? if he's a limited release, does that mean they're making enough to fill the orders, or only making a certain quantity?
      i don't think aka_spooky is making an advanced order (at least, i don't think so *shrug*) but rather checking on how to make an order when the time comes. i could be wrong, lol.
      also, do we know the orders haven't opened yet for sure? it could be that the website hasn't been updated or it's just a mistranslation... i'm prolly wrong, i am kinda dense...
       
    13. I had a lot of problems with the ordering board when I ordered my Ryu head during Migi's last ordering period. For anyone who's still having problems, I'll post the basic information that confused me. Anyone who's still a bit lost can PM me, if they like, and I'll help them as best I can. Any really important questions, to do with your head or a mistake you've made in your address, should be directed at Migi, though, not me! :sweat I'm just a lowly Ryu fan. Her English is pretty good, so as long as you word everything nicely she'll be able to help you out. :aheartbea

      Remember not to post your order until Migi opens up for orders in October!
      She has to organize everything with the people casting Ryu and Miu (if she's selling Miu again - it seems she may only be re-releasing Ryu), as well as make sure everyone working with or for her knows the schedule, so be patient! She's always sure to give plenty of notice about when a re-release will start, but pestering her about it in the meantime will give her a lot of stress she doesn't need. This re-release only came because people really, really wanted Ryu, so be kind to her - she's super-sweet!

      Ryu is available for a limited time, not in a pre-determined number!
      Unless she's changed from how she operated in the lat release, Migi will take orders for as long as she can, I think until her molds will not cast properly. Molds are expensive, which is why she doesn't just order new ones when they get too old (which can happen quickly)! I don't think she will close orders without a day or two's notice, but if you want to order Ryu and don't know how long you have to continue saving for, you can ask her how long she THINKS she'll be able to take orders, once orders are actually being taken. She's very nice, so as long as you're polite, she'll be more than happy to answer your questions! My best advice, though, is to check for updates from Migi often - once every day or two is what I did, but I was obsessed and excited as I waited for my PayPal funds transfer to clear.

      Before you order, read Migi's post in the Order board entitled "about international order"
      This will provide you with the order form for you to fill out, as well as post-naming instructions and the like.

      To place your order with Migi

      1) Scroll to the bottom of the Ordering board
      2) Click the small link in the bottom right-hand corner, called "write"
      (This is just below the listed ordering threads, and above the search box - it's very small!)
      3) You will be provided with a posting form to fill out; pick a username, password, and enter a homepage if you have one/would like to. DO NOT LOSE YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD, OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LEARN THE STATUS OF YOUR ORDER.
      (If you wish to order from Migi in the future, you can use this information again, so save it!)
      4) Make sure you click the little tick box to make your post "secret", or everyone can see your information! Not good!
      5) Enter "Order" in the subject of your message, or Migi will not know it's an order!
      6) Paste the order form provided in Migi's international orders post into the text box, and fill it out entirely.

      Filling out the Form
      head name : (Ryu, the SD boy, or Miu, the MSD girl [if she's available this ordering period?])
      Name : (Your full name)
      Add : (Your mailing address)
      Moblie : (Your phone number)
      resaving person's name : (I didn't know what this meant, so I put "I'm not sure what this means. Sorry!" and my order still went through.)
      color(normal skin/ white skin) (Pick one!)
      quantity : (How many heads you want)
      order date : (The date you're placing the order)

      Ryu was $135 USD, including shipping internationally for me. Your quote may vary a little bit more, depending on where Migi has to ship him.

      She's very good about giving you a quote, telling you when he's in the mail and giving you a tracking number. You'll probably get a quote for total including shipping in about 24 hours, depending on time differences, and she shipped very quickly for me. She also included some really adorable, ultra-yummy candies in my order!

      The head you order on the Migidoll.com ordering board does NOT come with any make-up, eyes, or a wig. Make-up Ryu and Miu are sold through eBay auctions ONLY, and are available only in really, REALLY limited quantities. These can go for almost DOUBLE what a plain head goes for, as they are usually released after the basic blank release of her heads, so be prepared for bidding wars if you want one of those! :doh

      Hope this helps people out somewhat~​
       
    14. The first edition of Ryu had eyewells that were not super-well beveled out, and even 14mm aren't a great fit, but I've noticed that the 2nd edition has nicer eyewells.... I've never tried anything other than 14mm in either of them though.
       


    15. Hey, yeah, that makes a lot of sense, he's second ed and the prson who told me has a first ed. Thanks for that, too, good to know <3
       
    16. I haven't seen anywhere that she exactly stated when they'll be released. From what I've seen she said she'd post 2 weeks before but seeing as I cannot get the site to work properly despite many attempts I wanted to be sure that the date had not been posted there and that I understood how I was supposed to proceed when they do open up. Especially after Jessa's post that said she had placed an order for a Ryu... makes it seem as though some of us missed the memo about sales opening.

      I don't want them to be released and I place and order and then the mold wears out or something and i don't get one because I didn't follow the proper order protocol. I'm sure she explains it all clearly somewhere on the boards but like I said. I can't get them to open.

      I'm not trying to place an advanced order just to be prepared when the orders do start because I ... like many others... am totally crazy about Ryu and don't want to miss my opportunity for a stupid reason.

      I certainly wasn't trying to be sneaky or anything or I wouldn't have posted about it here. Sorry if it came off the wrong way... maybe I should have explained better.

      You got it. :) I wasn't trying to be sneaky... just trying to confirm the protocol for this specific order situation. :)


      THANK YOU SO MUCH! :D:D:D:D
       
    17. I also asked very politely on her Q&A board because I noticed people had been posting on the order board in the last few days and I wondered what was going on. I know a few weeks ago she had some heads left from people who did not pay, and she sold those to people who had asked her earlier about getting a head. But I was not sure what was going on with the new orders suddenly popping up when she said she would sell definitely in October.

      I am also interested in seeing her new boy sculpt and if he's the least bit as nice as Ryu I'll be after him as well :)

      Edited to add, in case anyone missed Migi's note about the new boy (I've been totally haunting her site because I want a Ryu so bad), she says he matches Volks.
       
    18. To be honest... and this isn't because I already have a Ryu (Who wouldn't want another one! XD)... but I'm more excited about her new boy! I'm so anxious, lol. Have Migidoll as my homepage so I can check every day 8D
       
    19. Uh...nothing on the Migidoll site looks different, so my guess is that she hasn't even announced the dates that we can order yet. I doubt she wants us placing pre-orders. I'm going to hang tight until she posts something about dates. I hate this ordering anxiety... *_*
       
    20. lol, what about the 10th? :O

      I'd love to see all and any comparison photos! Volks, CP, this magical thing called Fantasy doll... :]
