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. Sooo, now I know what you mean by that smell. My lovely Ken is home, and that chemical smell is terrible. It smells like some kind of thinner or petroleum spirit. But it should quickly go away. I hope.
       
    2. Oh no! Not just me then! I've kept my Dina out since she arrived, the smell has gone a bit but it's still there. I'm hoping it will go in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully your Ken won't smell too bad if you leave him out, it's a terrible smell isn't it?

    4. How's your Ken?
       
    5. I didn't notice any weird smells with my Ivy/Aerith, just typically new resin scent. Hopefully it clears up before too long.

      I got new eyes (from Making Art Dolls) and a temporary wig (from Dollmore) for Aerith. Unfortunately, Dollmore's 5" wigs are 4-5", rather than 5-6" (despite being listed as a separate category from the 4-5" ones), so while I can get it to stay on, it takes a lot of fussing. I did get wefts to make a custom wig, since I know I'll need to do that for her braid, but I also went ahead and ordered an actual 5-6" wig, which I can hopefully style a bit to look more like her hair does when loose.

    6. Does Raccoon Doll restock their clothes, or once they're gone, they're gone? I liked Henry's dashing shirt & cape plus some of the vests but they're sold out. I don't mind waiting for something new though.
       
    7. I am not totally sure, but I think RD is more likely to create something new than repeat an outfit. :)

    8. RD hasn’t done much lately with the men and I haven’t seen any new clothes for a while.

    9. Well darn, I'll make my own then. :) I have some of the Iplehouse FID patterns from Designs by Jude. I've downloaded MB Lilac's beautiful patterns too. When my dolls arrive I'll take some scrap fabric to make mockups and see what I need to adjust to fit the Raccoon Doll body.
