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.

Silly Mistakes You Have Made In This Hobby?

Dec 16, 2017

    1. When my Universe Doll body arrived, I was overjoyed. The hands. They come separetly from the body, and on the body there were resin pieces on the hooks. I ask my mom, to pull it out, but the hook slipped and it cutted her finger. She left me there with my doll, and when I pull out the hooks I recognized, that if I turn the hook, it locks and won't slip back.:sweat I was so angry that I not find it sooner. Similar on the legs... I took off the resin piece AND the hook . Of course the elastic slipped in, and his leg is get off.... ok. No problem, just string it back. It looked a bit funny when I finished it. :nowords: I just put back his knee joint the wrong way. :doh
       
    2. When I got my first doll I was so HYPED to jump into doing a faceup for him that I.. ended up reading all about the wonderful world of sealant after doing the whole faceup. Luckily, the faceup was all done with watercolour pencils so the whole thing was easily wipeable without leaving much staining, but boy did I feel ashamed!

    3. When I got the doll I joined the hobby for (FL Sia), I got too excited while demo-ing how to switch her parts and didn't secure the inner string correctly causing her head/upper torso to accidentally launch across the room :aeyepop::doh luckily nothing was damaged but not how I wanted my first time handling her to go!
       
    4. 3 words, black leather suede, you would have thought i purposely bought the joints in black with how badly and evenly stained they got
       
    5. Ow... I once used Acetone to clean up my child, just same as how I cleaned up my figure and my own toe. It's really serious, but I feel lucky enough to realise this bad thing in time, before my child has any damage.
