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.

    2. If I remember right, narae has a similarly narrow foot and I frequently see her in fabulous fashion doll shoes, I really need to try them for fragille!

      I think we are at a disadvantage living in the UK where 18 inch fashion dolls are not very popular, shipping and customs from USA is expensive!

      The best fitting shoes my girls have are the 4 ever best friends dolls from years ago. Out of stock everywhere now :(

    4. renee_chan, I like to get as close to the doll as I can. This cuts down on background interference that will show the true scale of your dolls. For framing shots, divide your picture into 9 squares (like placing the pound symbol or "hashtag" over top) and set the thing you want to focus where any of the lines intersect. Also, think about when taking pictures of humans, the photographer is about the same height as the subject, so place your lens slightly below the doll's eye level, creating the illusion of height. The camera used doesn't matter as much as framing. If your camera can change the focal point, try playing with that to focus /not/ on the closest object or at the center, but a finger, lips, or nose.
      As far as subject matter, the more natural positions you can get the better (and Shinydolls are great for that ^^). Be aware of head and eye positions especially b/c humans have evolved to pick up on the subtlest of cues via facial expressions.
      Have you seen the photography section here? It's pretty awesome =]

    5. Thanks for all the tips! I'll definitely use them. I've poked around in the photography section here and have picked up a lot from it. I think now I just need practice, practice, practice!

      For shoes, I've found that many Goodreau doll shoes fit well, some with and some without socks. Also Ruby Red Galleria shoes fit ok with socks. Rosette School of Dolls shoes fit perfectly I've heard, but I don't have a pair myself.

    6. Little bump to show you Ryo! She's a real tomboy and wants to be a mechanic. I have to find the right look for her; I think TTYA has overalls. This is just a quick snapshot I took right after opening her when she came back from the spa:

    11. I just discovered the Thaasa range of bjd yesturday from someone else on DoA and wanted to say how this is now my favourite mobility type body sculpt. Shin your work is amazing and the girls are just beautiful. I'm in the process of buying a head from doa and just wanted to say how much I like your work (even if I only found out about Thaasa yesturday). Just a question for Shin sama , How did you initialy get into creating bjd? (bow) . Thank you very much for you time ^^.

    12. IsabelleR-san,
      Thank you for loving shinydolls.
      There's a story I started BJD production. haha.

      Our family happen to go through the road in front of Licca-chan's factory in our summer travel.
      We visited there, and bought one Licca-chan for my daughter, who was six at that time.
      I tried to visit Licca-chan related sites, to show my daughter beautiful outfits for Licca-chan.
      While visiting such sites, I happened to find extraordinary doll who has fascinating eyes.
      which was resin ball jointed doll by VOLKS company.
      I could not help buying one soon.
      When I bought the first doll, I was thinking let her be a model of photograghs.
      But unfortunately, she could not pose at all.
      Then I started customizing her joints, and made her super posable bjd.
      Photograghs of her invited requests to customize other dolls.
      After 30 of surjeries, I got ideas of how to make world's No.1 posable doll.
      Then I made Thaasa I, the first virsion of my dolls.
      After that, I made
      Thaasa I long neck,
      Thaasa II
      Thaasa III
      Thaasa III-s (slim)
      I also made
      Fragille I
      Fragille II
      Fragille III
      Pricco I
      Pricco II
      Pricco III
      Off cause I made around thirty heads for Thaasa, Fragille , and Pricco body.
      Anyway Thaasa III-s bod is the best bjd body, I think.
      I made it as what I think doll body should be.
      Thank you
      Shin

    13. babytarragon, your Chizune is so cute! Does she balance well on the Fragille body?

      Shin-san, thank you for sharing your story! I read an article in Haute Doll magazine years ago. It was all about ShinyDoll and had a nice interview. I wish I could find a copy of that magazine. If anyone has it and could scan the article for me I'd appreciate it!

      I'm going through my doll collection now and I'm thinking of adding another Meefa to my family, but maybe on the new Pricco body. She'd be Chouko's (my Fragille Meefa) little sister. What could I do to make the sculpt look younger? I was thinking modding the eyes open a little bit would give her a youthful look.

    14. My Meefa is home again :)

    15. Chizune balances perfectly, except is she's wearing a particularly huge wig XD

    16. Bajib, your girl is lovely! Beautiful dolls here.
      My Fragile is a hybrid, I love the body so much.

    18. That bike is perfect!! And my girls have those shoes too :)

      I've been wanting to get my girls out for a little photo shoot but the weather's been so hot and humid. I need to rig up some lighting inside I guess.
       
      #678 renee_chan, Jun 3, 2013
    19. Does anyone have the measurement for the neck size on the Fragille III body? I'm getting a Unoa Lusis head and she'll need a body eventually. thanks.
