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. Thank you very much for loving Youki, and questioning.

      Actually, I sculpted all original clay doll.
      Thaasa body took 1000hours to develop, as I persued both outer sculpting and posing ability at the same time.(3hours/day * 365days)
      I am now afraid of that onother 1000hours would be spent for developping boy-body. Ha,ha,ha *_* .

      Now casting of body is done by outer factory, where Unoas are also casted, I heard.
      Casting of head is done by ShinyDOLL with no silicone-barrier-coat, obtaining strong paintability.

      All fine extra works after casting are done by me, including drilling rubber holes and grinding boll-joints, without which THAASA's high poseabilty can not be obtained.

    3. The work you've done is really impressive! She's got a perfect form for modeling clothing. I only have boy dolls but if I ever needed a girl I would have to get this body.

      I think this might be exactly the body St. James (another DOA member) has been looking for, I'll show her and see what happens.

    4. I am very happy that you watched the body shape.

      I hope St. James -san find love with THAASA body.

    5. She is so compelling! I can't stop coming back to this thread and looking at her picture.

    6. :o :o :o
      This doll is amazing! And inspiring! Three hours a day for a year!
      I am deeply impressed with your engineering skills and your dedication has made this girl come to life!
      I have been searching for a girl body that could handle more traditional Japanese poses while still maintaining a slender modern appearance for other fashions. It will be some time before I can make another doll purchase, but the Ivory resin color would be my choice.
      Are there any plans for optional parts like split-toe feet for tabi and geta?

      WOW! The more photos I see on your website, the more I love her! How frustrating to have to wait! :cry:

    8. I beleave Thaasa Body well matches your needs.
      If you actually requests split-toe, I am happy to make it.
      It does not cost so much time to develop it, I think.

      Thank you very much for your curiosity. 8)

    9. :o

      Thank you very much! I will definitely want split-toe feet when I order her. (Now I have to save the $ !)

      :grin:
