    3. So our waiting begins. Maybe I wasn’t searching enough, bud couldn’t find waiting room. So I m not sure, how long are waiting times.
       
    4. If you bought directly from the company then the website says 30-60 days after they receive payment.
      Which in my opinion isn't that long,at least not for a bjd:sweat
      I made a waiting room myself because I also couldn't find a waiting room:

    5. Great. Yeah It’s not too long considering other companies. Thanx. I ll check it out. :D
       
    6. Congrats on getting your Kens @sylvesther and @LadybugCZ ! What resins did you get him in? I have a Ken in normal resin. He's a sculpt I don't see often on the boards, but I really like him!

    7. I've got him in normal resin skin, once I saw Ken's lips I knew he would be perfect for the character Hannibal Lector,the Mads Mikkelsen version:D

    8. Yes, tap art from yours, I maybe saw only two other Kens. Or maybe I m just not good at searching.
      Anyway, I got him in normal resin too. :love
      He looked most Asian sculpt to me from sculpts on their website.
       
    9. @JinCIncy Your Ken is so stylish! Where did you buy his clothes if I may ask?

      Also, hello Raccoon fans!
      Out of curiosity, have they ever had a 50% off for their 1/4 ladies? I'd love to get a Laetitia in dark mocha in the future.
       
    10. @sageyufi His clothing is from Iplehouse, FID line. It's an older outfit that I don't believe is available anymore.

    11. Got my Nina through today and as a first for raccoon dolls I'm really impressed! She's gorgeous! Is it normal for the dolls to smell so much? My golly does she smell bad!
      Just a couple of questions
      What sized wig is best for the 1/4 scale ladies
      Where is the best place to get shoes? I am desperate to find long lace up boots.

    12. My Ivy arrived today as well! She's lovely. She's intended to be Aerith from Final Fantasy 7, but I don't have a proper wig or eyes for her, so you can't really tell. Cloud is still happy(?) to see her, though.

      New dolls do tend to smell; it's the resin outgassing. The girl dolls take 5-6" wigs.

    13. Congratulations on your new girl! Thank you for telling me that about the smell, I've never had a doll with that smell so I was a bit taken aback...Hopefully it will go off, thanks for the info on the wig!
       
    14. Awww, what can be better smell in our hobby, than new resin smell. :lol:

      Congrats on both new dolls. My Ken should be shipped soon as well. :dance

    15. Trouble is I've smelled new resin before and this does not smell like,e the new resin smell you usually get. It smells terrible, I hope it goes off as it smells really chemically.
       
    16. Oh. I see. Maybe some smell from box. Hmm now I can’t wait to get my Ken to see if he has some smell as well
       
    17. Ooh I hope not, I hope he's OK...I'm not sure if I should write to the company or not.
       
    18. I've had a lot of dolls arrive with odors but all have turned out fine. I would recommend wrapping it in a towel or fabric and let it rest for a while. Sometimes the oder comes from the packing materials.

    19. Thank you! I shall try that. Fingers crossed I can get rid of the smell, it's really quite awful.
