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.

Renewal of Basic Ai Sia and Choa

Dec 22, 2005

    1. The new bodys are really nice :D
      I love the hands :chibi
       
    2. I can't wat to buy the new Choa! *_* I really ike the new body
       
    3. Just FYI, Luts hands do fit on a CH body . . . Kitsuko has CP BW Soony-S head and hands on a CH body. The resin isn't a *perfect* match, but it's very close, and if I had access to an airbrush, I could probably 'blush' the hands very slightly with a more ivory/golden tone . . . honestly, though, it's practically undetectable unless I'm looking closely.

      I also preferred the Luts hand sculpt, so I was glad that the switch-out was so easy, with no modifications required!!

      The new Choa is lovely (oh, dear, this is reigniting my Choa-lust!!), but I actually prefer the petite, small-busted original CH body in part because it *is* so different from my tall and Amazonian Lishe and Soony!! I love Kitsuko's sweet little cupcake breasts ^-^

      Hmmm . . . I wonder if this means that some people may sell their original-CH bodies to get the larger-bust version?? *starts stalking Marketplace*

      -- A ;)
       
    4. My Choa has really yellowed a bit too, but my white skin CP is way lighter, and my normal skin ones are quite a bit darker. Mali's just stuck in the middle with her skin tone.
       
    5. I think that part of it is that I have a newer CP BW girl, and she definitely has a much yellower undertone than Jola's CP BW boy, Victor, who was cast earlier this year . . . and I *just* ordered a CP BW boy body for Aubrey, and it's the same tone (which is good, it matches his head better than Victor's body did!), so if you didn't mind spending $18, it might be worth it to split a CP order with someone to see if a new pair of BW hands would match Mali's body . . . `plus, like I said, it wouldn't be that hard to blush the backs of the hands and between the fingers with yellow-ivory (you could even do it with chalk pastels and MSC it) to make the match even better.

      Mostly just wanted to let you know that the sockets and stringing are a perfect match, the resin color (as always with BJDs) is a little harder to predict :>

      Is it just me, or does it look like the new CH girls have a more pinky-white undertone than their older dolls?

      -- A <3
       
    6. I hope not >_< I LOVE the yellowish tone to the CH resin.... Too much pink in the CP for my tastes XD
       
    7. I reckon I could probably slip a pair of white hands into the order when I buy my Juri a body, and if they don't work, just give them to Tamae. *beam*

      Ya know - the picture DOES look pinker, especially the second - but if you look at the old Choa pics, the skintone seemed pinker than in real life. So it is hard to say.

      What I DO like about the new bodies (Besides those hands), is the lack of glued together leg pieces. It is a much more sleek look. The boobies are still mounds though - just bigger mounds, hehe.
       
    8. Ohh~ I read that the boys will be done around spring if anyone was interested. :3
       
    9. I can't see the links T___T CustomHouse hates me? O.O
       
    10. I wonder if they're gonna cost around the same price as the old Choa and Sia were. o.o
       

    11. there was actually one christmas raphael, she is a girl.
       
    12. WooHoo...This is what I've been waiting for!!^^

      I wonder when the Jin, Bin and the rest will be out??
      The new bodies are gorgeous, as are the hands. These have been in the works for quite some time....
       
    13. *_* I'm totally loving the new bodies...~!
       
    14. Is there another link or something like that? I've been trying to see them for days and it never loads the page T_______T
      I want to seee
       
    15. I guess it says sold out because they are not yet released? I hope I didn't miss them?
       
    16. No, you haven't missed them. They're still in the "Coming Soon" section. I'm sure there will be many members posting the "OMG! _____ is Released!" messages (myself included :fangirl ) I kind of hope it's a little ways away, as I'm still broke from the girl I just bought! Squee!! But I feel like I've been waiting for Choa forever, I want her so bad.
       
    17. I get the following message when I go to the website:
      Forbidden

      You don't have permission to access / on this server.

      Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

      Anyone have a fix, or perhaps a better link?? I'd love to see the new Choa!
