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.

ShinyDOLL [Fragille] Information and Discussion

Jan 10, 2010

    1. Shin-san, thank you for the tips about re-stringing my Suzune :) Oh my, I can not wait to see an elf head for Fragille! I am sure she will be lovely.

      Regarding jointed hands, I had a pair and sold them. I just did not care for the jointed fingers. Besides the hands on the Fragille and Thaasa bodies are so petite I imagine it would be difficult to make them jointed.
       
    2. miravisu-san,
      Thank you for the explanation of joint hands. ^^

      I think I can make it, but I think I would not make it. ^^);;
      When I started doll making six years ago, I asked myself if I do that, watching joint hands of JAPANESE ART DOLLs.
      Then I thought it is not elegant for my dolls.
      And I would rather concentrate on better body functions,
      and faces, which, I think, most important for dolls. ^^);
      Someday, I might do that suddenlly, when I am sure I can do it elegant. ^^):
       
    3. renee_chan -san,
      I am now thinking what kind of elf head I might make.

      As I am not belonging to big doll company, or as I am the representative of ShinyDOLL,
      I can make any head if I like. ^^
      So I would like to make something different., ^^ which, I am sure, is what I want to make. ^^)Y
       
    4. I think it is wonderful that you are able to make any kind of sculpt you like! The freedom must be very nice :) Now I am excited to see what new elf head you might make for Fragille. I wonder if she will have ears like Yakki or like Eefee, or something different from those two? I guess I will just have to wait and see, lol ^^
       
    5. renee_chan -san,
      Thnak you for your words.
      I love thiinking about what to make in a bed.^^
       
    6. I can understand what you mean renee_chan, that there are foremost construction issues to take into consideration, but at the same time I wish the fingers would match bodies in superb pose-ability and complete their expressive range. So I guess we'll see what the future holds for Shin-San and his engineering skills and materials! :)

      Shin-san, should you ever plan a more mature head, I would really like to see a head with smaller and more slantered eyes, and a slightly bigger nose placed just a bit lower. I'd be happy to send you an example, if it's ok for me to modify a photo of an existing head to better show you what I mean.


      It will be an exciting wait for the new elf head!
       
    7. hahaha,miravisu-san,
      I just make what I want to make, and I can make only what I can.
      And they are the best sculpt for me.
       
    8. Shin-san I lay awake in bed and thought about an elf head for Fragille, too :lol: I tried to imagine what shape her ears and eyes will be.
       
    9. renee_chan-san,
      I also am longing to see how the new head grow up. ^^
      Anyway, it needs month of time.
      I have not produced the first KANAE and KAGELI yet..before makeing new Fragille head. ^^);
       
    10. My Suzune, Chisa loves to play outside! She's very good at climbing trees :)

      She's wearing Volks animetic eyes. I think the anime style eyes really suit her cute face.
       
    11. renee_chan-san,
      Thank you for the cute photo. I am happy to see her clombing.
       
    12. They do suit her, how cute ^^
       
    13. I upgraded my Fragille body with the new hip piece, and would definitely recommend it! Her sitting is really stable now, like Thaasa ^^
       
    14. Really?! That's wonderful :) Is there a difference in outward appearence between the new torso part and the old? I've thought about getting the new piece for my Chisa but I think I'll keep her like she is and whenever I order Hikali (or the Fragille elf that may be coming!) I'll get the improved body. I actually want to find a Thaasa I body so I'll have all three versions! I guess that's just the kind of collector I am.
       
    15. It looks exactly the same from the front, but the hip sockets extend lower at the back, if that makes sense.
       
    16. Love her new face up! It's nice to know Narsha things will fit the Fragille body. I'm slowly building Chisa's wardrobe but am having trouble finding shoes that fit her petite feet. Do you know if Unoa or Minifee sized shoes will fit?
       
    17. The shoes I have which fit my old Unoa girl fit my Fragille body, but a touch loosely. The narrower the better!
       
    18. That's an impressive faceup and photos, babytarragon-san. ^^
      She seems to be SHIBUHARA-kei.
      I would like to see her with light coloured eyes, too. ^^
       
    19. Thank you Shin-san ^^

      Posing her is so fun, her balance is perfect with new hips <3

      I think all my Shinydolls are Shibuhara-kei recently... Suzune has a new outfit to show soon ^^
