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. Id like to say they are closer to 5. The 4/5 wigs i have are pretty snug.

    2. Yes, definitely closer to 5. Tutorials to make wigs using 4.5" won't fit, they'll be too small.

      SB announced on the blog that the Tan ordering period will be December 10th to the 24th. I was hoping it would be sooner so I could have her in time for X-mas, but oh well! :)

    3. Thanks! At the moment I'm looking at Monique wigs.

      I can't wait for the 10th! I don't know whether to order early or wait for payday. I probably should wait, but I don't want to risk them being sold out early.

      I like to do character/planning collages for incoming dolls, I've already done one for Kahlua! I'm not sure whether she's going to be my Unoa's daughter or whether she'll be a cousin or kid sister. My Unoa is called Mojito and I wanted to stick with the alchohol/cocktail name theme. My boyfriend's favourite liqueur is Kahlua, so that's where I got the name.

      She's going to be a bit of a hipster!

    4. Ahhh so adorable! I also like the name Kahlua. You could also get a girl named Peach (Belini) ;) I think that they are a great scale to be a Unoa's daughter. <3



      I may have to do one of those doll-mosiacs- those are so cool!

      Saintbloom will you just let me place my order right now? I know what I want!! :P
       
      #204 kayke, Dec 1, 2012
    5. That would be amazing :D I don't need more enabling though ;) Maybe there will be a Bellini in future!

      I know, I wish I could order today and have her sooner!

    11. I've always admired your dolls -- and your clothing! She is so beautiful! :) I can't wait to see what everyone does with their tan girly. <3
       
      #211 kayke, Dec 4, 2012
    12. Im torn, because i love my charlie. But i dont really want two of the same sculpt >< I might wait to see what betty or diana look like in tan
       
      #212 captainkyo, Dec 4, 2012
    13. @Captainkyo - I sold my Charlie because I wasn't comfortable with having 2 of the same sculpt, either. I thought it over for a while, but I think it works out the best for me. I don't feel too empty without her because I feel like she is just away on vacation getting a nice tan and will be back home soon. ;)


      Saintbloom uploaded a clear picture of skintone comparisons:

      Normal Skin Vs Brown Skin

      Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh so pretty! I was apprehensive about the first few pictures that were uploaded- they looked a bit more grey than brown- but I think it was from just bad lighting. After seeing the last few pics - Oh I am so so so excited.


      Oh, I found a place that sells 4-5" monique wigs and they're on sale - 50% off. I've just bought a short pale blonde wig for my tan girl and a dark brown wig for my Charlotte. <3
       
      #213 kayke, Dec 5, 2012
    14. Hello! Can anyone tell me if Saintbloom dolls can do any interesting poses? Every picture I see is either standing or sitting! is she not much of a poser? Because that is a very big deal to me, and I don't want to be disappointed.
       
      #214 Daily, Dec 5, 2012
    15. Well, they are single jointed. I have wired and hot glue sueded my girls to allow for better posing. I have also done some torso mods by adding in notches in her torso to allow her to sit up and slouch better. I am sure more mods can be done to make them better posers- but as is, they are not the greatest. My Saintbloom Charlie came strung too tightly for me (I am going to ask Saintbloom to string my new girl a bit looser when I order), and no matter how much sueding I did, she was still super kicky. These are also dolls created by one person, so they are not perfect. The legs are uneven, one is slightly shorter than the other- by maybe just a mm or two. It is unnoticeable by the eye but you can definitely feel it when you are trying to stand them up.

    16. Super excited for Monday! I should probably wait for payday, but I want my girl home as soon as possible and I don't think I could resist not ordering her as soon as the order form comes up!

      Would a Saintbloom be able to wear a Puki wig?
       
      #216 Jescissa, Dec 8, 2012
    17. I think the tan Charlie and Charlotte are lovely - I won't be getting one as Ive spent all my dolly funds for the year but I'm looking forward to seeing them when they arrive.

      Kayke I saw your earlier post about 8mm low dome eyes. Lu from Captured in Glass here on the forum will do low dome glass to order for you. I had them in my pukifee bonnie - have linked you to a pic of them. Hers are a really dark brown so it's hard to see any detail but I have several other colours with threading in them (just not in low dome) and I really like them.

    18. As much as I'd like to order Monday, Saintbloom will ship them all out on the same day, I think. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure that's how it was done with the White skin event) I'm going to have to wait until payday myself. ^^;

      SB can wear 4-5" wigs, but not Puki 4" wigs, those are too small. I made that mistake and now I'm stuck with this tiny wig that no one wants, lol!

      @Honeythorpe: That's awesome! I actually found an ebay sale where glass eyes were marked 50% off w/ free shipping (it was for black friday), so my eye search is complete. I willl keep them in mind, though!


      ETA:

      YAY! My wig that got stuck in customs finally showed up today! I got it off of ebay during a blackfriday sale along with her new eyes. :D

    19. Everyone's pictures are just so pretty. I'm going crazy wanting a small horde of these pretty girls!
       
      #219 kanozzle, Dec 9, 2012
    20. I'm so excited - I just placed my order for Kahlua. I'm just waiting for the paypal invoice and then I can officially start planning. She'll be the first doll of 2013!
