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.

Raccoon Doll Discussion - Part 6

Jan 15, 2021

    1. @Khlovera thank you. As soon as she arrives from USA I will send her for new face up. But even with scrap face up she looks nice.
      I will definitely will show both pictures before and after. I like to see how same doll can look totally different
       
    2. @Patrice S thank you. I don't know how long it takes to arrive from USA to UK. But as soon as she arrives head will go to artist for New face up. So that I could enjoy beautiful doll.
       
    3. Well I finally got to taking some pictures of my Lara in her final wig :) She has been sitting around with wrong hair color for so long I forgot why I painted her eyebrows red :lol: But now she is finally all color matched!

    7. I got my Isis second hand and I'm surprised how good the body for posing is.
      She came with horrible dace up all dirty and were bad made. So isend her head straight to the artist to make her nice professional face up.
      I really happy with my first raccoon doll and quality is very good.
      Will show her as soon as she comes back from beauty therapy course
       
    8. Holiday pic time! :3nodding: And I have to say - after handling both Raccoon and Iplehouse girls I prefer Raccoon bodies hands down. Lara is rock steady even in half kneeling pose (which she is in in this pic), my FID Doria on the other hand was wobbling like a whet noodle... Even Claude that was free standing in the back was steadier than her... And Raccon girls have killer legs in comparison - no stupidly overextended knee like Iplehouse.
      I'm waiting for an elf Rosie on a new body atm, can't wait to see the improvements! :D

      P.S. - Sweater decorations and holiday earrings make for some cool doll ornaments :lol:

    9. I really like to pose the RD girls too. The only thing I really prefer about the Iple bodies are their hands. The Iple hands are prettier IMHO (although the hands on the newer RD bodies have improved). I wish RD would offer hand blushing services. I think that would make the hands more realistic. Your Lara is beautiful @Sshodan !

    10. Yes, I agree - Iplehouse hands are very beautiful (I'm using fantasy long nailed ones on Doria and I can't get enough of them).
      I'd say Iplehouse wins on hands, ankle joints and resin for me. But overall shape and design I'd give to Raccoon any day at least for the ladies - don't have any Raccoon guys yet... One day... :lol:

    11. I like the aesthetic of the Iple male bodies, but the RD men are lovely too. Iple bodies are just more detailed in the sculpting I think. The RD men stand like rocks though, and are very easy to pose, much like their female counterparts. I read earlier this year that there is supposed to be a new RD male body in the works. I'm very anxious to see it! I like the variety in my collection.

    12. Ohhhh! New male body would be fantastic! I do love Iplehouse one - literary blushed every vein on my vampy Claude and do not regret a moment I spend on it - looks absolutely awesome. From pictures Raccoon guys seamed a bit less detailed, I was ready to settle for that... But if there is a chance for new bodies on guys? I'd be ecstatic! :love
       
    13. Just gorgeous

    14. @Sshodan,

      I love your Lara. You don't see many of her.

      I'm with Jackie, that the RD boys are solid at posing.

      @JinCIncy
      Love your photo. They look great.

    15. Yes, your Lara is very pretty! The RD girls are great posers. (I don't have any boys yet.)

      Love your couple Jackie too...very nice photo.

      My Elf Kai (Gaeyl) got some camera time.:XD:
      He looks most serious here.

    17. Happy new year guys!

      New year old question. What other brands produce wigs that fit onto our doll? Used to buy from Monique but they're closed for good. I tried several brands like SartoriaJ though the measurement was 5-6 inch but it didn't fit on my doll.

    18. Are you after wigs for the guys or the girls? For the girls - iplehouse 5-6 wigs are good, and I’ve liked the Hannasu wigs - both the synthetic mohair and the fibre!
