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. Here's the comparison -- left to right: RD Sweet Mocha, RD Rose Mocha and Iple Peach. The Rose Mocha definitely has a red tone to it and is considerably different.

      @JinCIncy That SJ set is gorgeous!

    3. @Patrice S

      She is a beauty and I agree her tummy looks great.
       
    4. @Patrice S She looks beautiful. And the outfit is gorgeous.
       
    5. Just made few photos for comparison of the old and new slim bodies.
      Here is the album on Flickr if someone is curious to see :kitty2

      I am personally just in love with the new slim body! It is so easy to play with, it has a nice texture, much more flexible joints. Just WOW! RacconDoll did a great job. It is worth every cent and also they are SO gentle with their customers :love
      P.S. My Rosie was made in 2017, Gene just now and the skin color is the same! It Means RD using a really good materials.

    6. The newest slim body is very nice and I’ve always been impressed with the consistency of their resin color. That alone makes buying a body in their September sale a temptation.

    7. I just got my first Raccoon Doll! I'm so impressed by her...like she is made so well! The milk mocha skin is beautiful, too. I need to take some pics and make her some clothes.

      Does anyone know pattern sellers on Etsy or elsewhere who make patterns specifically for Raccoon Doll girls? My MiniFee patterns don't fit properly and that's all I got. I guess I could modify them, but it would be nice to have a basic set that's already made since pattern drafting isn't my forte.

    8. Antique Lilac has some amazing free patterns that fit slim FID or slim Raccoondoll (and could be altered to fit the glamour body): Tutorials
      Other than that, you're probably better off buying Iplehouse FID patterns and altering them, they're a lot closer to Raccoondoll than Minifee is! There's a few on Etsy if you search for FID, and also these: Designs by Jude featuring Fletcher Pattern Company and FID Doll Clothes Patterns
      Hope that helps!

    9. Yes it helps so much! I have the new slim body with a small bust, and I didn't realize how different the body shape is from my other MSD dolls. I really love it! Thank you so much for the links <3

    10. My RD Elven group..........Laurion (Lawrence hybrid, he's on a RD body), standing behind, is part elf and had his ears sanded into points, although you can't see them here.
      Elf Rosie on the left, Elf Kai in the middle and Elf Nina on the right.

    13. does anyone have photo comparison of their white skin? it doesn't seem like a popular option for this brand.
       
    14. I have several of their white dolls and I like them! I don't have pictures.
       
    15. I'm silent much, but this summer seeing so many lovely grey dolls from SartoriaJ inspired me to dig out Soomin (elf iris) and give her a new faceup. At the same time I follow a few makeup artist sort of folks on instagram and I saw a grey faced look by livkae and decided I would try to recreate it in bjd. I tried using my airbrush...which was terribly clogged and splattered...but the look gave a very nice texture. This may be the best faceup I've ever done.

      She certainly deserves a nice outfit now.

    16. I love every detail on that faceup, it goes really nicely with the grey skin!

      Also, I got my first RacoonDoll today, Laetitia in Dark Mocha looks so sassy! Just a phone photo, so the quality isn't great, but the default faceup is beautiful (she's wearing an Iplehouse FID outfit!)
