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.

    1. I think he resembles Robert Pattinson somewhat, but Azrail's features are much nicer in my opinion (higher cheekbones, larger eyes, poutier mouth, etc).

    4. I love the Raurencio dolls but I'd love to see blank heads, I love Azrail but I might want to do my own face up. Trouble is when he's already made up I can't see his "bone structure" if you know what I mean? Does anyone have a blank head they can show?

    5. Hi Mathurine^^ You may want to leave a message on the Raurencio Studio Q & A Board. I've been hard pressed myself to find any unpainted heads on the Forum.

    6. Thanks Azrail is my favourite and I love the face up they do on him but I'd still like to see his face without face up so I can see if I would do anything different. To be honest I'll probably get him the way he is, with Raurencio face up but I think it would be interesting to see him bare.

    7. Hi Mathurine, Did you get a chance to ask about getting an unpainted pic of the sculpt? I personally think a less dramatic faceup would allow you to see his "bone structure." I like a less dramatic faceup myself, but it also depends on the sculpt.

    8. I've actually got a tab open now to do that thing because I keep forgetting.

      I like the dramatic face, that's why I don't mind if I have the default face up but I'd like to see what's under there in case I feel I could do something different.

      EDIT: Ok I asked and left the question unlocked so others can see the reply but I'll post the anser here too when I get one.

    9. That's great Mathurine! Maybe abit of pushing from us all will encourage the posting of non-painted heads. ^^

      It's always nice to see different possibilities of course.
       
      #29 PacificBlue, Nov 2, 2010
    10. Yeah, let's see what they say. I've seen some doll sites do the made up doll in the basic set pages but blank heads in the head sales pages. I like that personally, I hope Raurencio do that. At least then you get the option of seeing the face up and the blank, whichever one you're interested in.

    11. REPLY:

      "Thank you for your interest in Raurencio studio.

      We don't have Azrail's head unpainted at present, thus we will take a picture of the head and post on a website in next week.

      Thank you."

      So hopefully Azrail's blank head will appear soon but I'm not sure if any of the others will show up as well.

    12. Hi Mathurine ^^ Did you see the new pics of Azrail?! He looks amazing with that new faceup. I really want that room he's in as well.
       
      #32 PacificBlue, Nov 6, 2010

    15. Thanks for the link Sillypeach! I do love seeing what the doll artists' have for future projects as well. I'm anxious to see how the hands turn out as well along with what the new 65cm boys' bodies will look like.^^

    16. There is nothing in the world that could stop me from buying one of these handsome devils! I have to have one! I prefer the dramatic face up from before but that gentle face just shows how versatile he can be. It's slightly easier to see his bone structure now the face up has been toned down. I definately want one blank, I'll do a very dramatic face of my own but he's lovely. That picture on the blog of the "boxer" is very sexy too. Well Done Raurencio!

    17. New pictures of blank heads!

      http://www.raurencio.net/shop/step1.php?number=603

      Go to the bottom of the page the blanks are there, they're so awesome!

      ETA only Azrail blanks seem to have been posted at the moment, looking through some other dolls and no blank heads there yet.
       
      #37 Mathurine, Nov 12, 2010
    18. Thanks for the update Mathurine! It is awesome indeed!

      I think they are doing updates on their present sculpts, so there may not be any blanks of the others for awhile. Raurencio said they have new sculptors working on the sculpts now....

      The New Ladies Line sculpts have the blank photos!! Lovely!!
       
      #38 PacificBlue, Nov 12, 2010
    19. Now I've seen Azrail "bare" as it were I'm so impressed. I'll do his face up myself when I get one but it will probably be pretty close to the face up they had before.
       
      #39 Mathurine, Nov 12, 2010
    20. I'm really loving the more natural faceup. I can't wait to see what improvement they are making to the male body. I saw a teaser on the Raurencio Blog!
