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.

Realpuki Insight

Feb 19, 2016

    1. I came across my first image of a Realpuki about 2 months ago and have become obsessed, like I have read so many others have in the past. I have bought two so far and am interested in buying more but find them incredibly hard to find for resale unless several hundred over their original costs in many cases. My question today is if anyone can tell me why there is such a limited amount of current posts on this type of doll. I look routinely and cannot find very much current. Is the situation that they were popular several years ago and now not as much in demand?
       
    2. I think they're relatively popular, I'm not sure what you mean? The Realpuki discussion thread is quite active in comparison to many threads, and there are a few RPs on the marketplace at the moment for roughly retail price, the ones I noticed were higher were fullsets which aren't available from Fairyland anymore.

      (You could do better to ask this question in the discussion thread, though it may get moved there by a mod anyhow.)

    4. Thanks to all who replied. I am new and will be sure to try to post in the appropriate threads. I appreciate the comment on items in the marketplace too I hope to be able to view there one day.
       
    5. Fairyland is restructuring it's entire site. And the only place in the USA to buy them (DenverDoll.com) is waiting for them as well. I asked Fairyland if they had plans for more RP's. They said yes but I believe it'll be a few months still. They've had some major problems to deal with.
