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. He is so graceful and magnificent, no matter the size, I want him ! I think that he will be a centaur with complexes due to his small size :lol: (I didn't think the head was so small though)

    2. Finally a centaur with well proportions.. Epidos was a bit off of it >< Thank God I don't need fantasy creatures or white skin humans, 'cos if I did.. goodbye, money~ And I don't really care about his size - he's gorgeous ^^

    3. That beautiful face paired with that strong muscular chest is just killing me. <3

      And Soom has been a bit crazy with the schedule lately, and it is very annoying, but is anyone actually e-mailing/commenting to tell them that? They won't know how crazy it's making us otherwise.

    4. monkeypizzasonic - Though I completely understand the frustration buyers and collectors feel, I would never dream of trying to tell a company how to run their business...they're not forcing us to buy the dolls and I'm sure in the next couple of weeks there will be another beautiful doll that we may want...:)

      I agree the schedule may seem more erratic than what we are used to, but I couldn't imagine in any other hobby would you try to tell the artist/creator/business ceo etc what to do! There are many frustrations in this hobby and not being able to afford to buy all the ones we want is one of them :sweat

    5. I thought about this, and I think also that he will be released only on the centaur body, but later released on the Idealian site as an SO. ;)

    6. I'm trying to figure out how the ordering process will work! It says on the teaser image he has an order period, June 28 to July 13. I looked at the Chrom special order page, and that said "1st. order 80 dolls" with just a release date, not an end date.

      Does this mean that Zinc will be available for purchase all through the stated ordering period, do you think? Or will he sell out within the first day?

      (I'm trying to figure out how I can get this boy home - I need my next pay cheque to be able to pay his first layaway instalment!)
       
      #246 Damasquerade, Jun 26, 2011
    7. Yes, he is time limited, not amount limited, just like Aloa and Sov. "Amount limited" certainly only applies to SO dolls who were MDs before. While "time limited" applies to only SO dolls who haven't been released before in any other category. ^^
       
      #247 fransyung, Jun 26, 2011
    8. It's actually June 28 to July 13 ^_^
      Don't want you to miss the order period!


      On another note...I wonder how much he's going to cost...
       
      #248 nbluju, Jun 26, 2011
    9. Whoops! Don't know how I managed to write that. Thanks for that, it would be awful if I took my post as fact and somehow missed ordering him! O_O
       
      #249 Damasquerade, Jun 26, 2011
    10. Oh man, echoing what some others have said - if he is smaller than an SD I may be in big wallet trouble. He is magnificent though, but I'll be safe if it turns out he is big. I'm a mini girl ^^
      Has anyone tried asking size specifics on the Q+A area?

      Also....why do all of the centaurs have unicorn horns? Hehe xD
       
      #250 Silver, Jun 26, 2011
    11. As it's a teaser pic, I doubt they'd answer any questions just yet about him. Only 2 more days to go though until all is revealed!:)
       
      #251 gelfling9uk, Jun 26, 2011
    12. Yea, I am starting to get more and more frantic about this >_> I really want this beefy guy now, but there's no way I could afford two big dolls in one layaway, not unless Soom would let me have a more-than-5-month layaway, which I think 5 is all they go up to.... -___- *pouts*
       
      #252 AirimirOfGondor, Jun 27, 2011
    13. I'm feeling the same way! I must have loaded the teaser page at least 50 times since it first went up. Tomorrow can't come fast enough, even if I can't start the layaway until next week!

      That is, assuming that his face is awesome as it seems from the teaser. I got really excited about Epidos last year, but then I saw his face and proportions and dual skintones, and just got totally turned off him :( Fingers crossed, Zinc will be everything I'd hoped for! And as tall as my Heliot and Amber, but I'm not holding my breath on that one XD
       
      #253 Damasquerade, Jun 27, 2011
    14. i want him to be released tonight or tomorrow so badly >.< i had stuff come up when Epidos was released and i wasnt able to get him :( i dont care what size he ends up being i have just really wanted a unicorn centuar boy in ws for quite awhile now and i would kill for him >w< on a side note im glad he wont end up being a mega gem i think i would hesitate if he was :sweat
       
      #254 Momo Haruno, Jun 27, 2011
    15. Haha! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has reloaded the page a lot more times than I can count or wish for his release to be sooner. XD I'm so worried with how much he may cost. I hope it's no more than 1k with the centaur body alone (and maybe clothes if he comes with it? Though I wouldn't mind staring at all that naked glory of his!). Even with a 4 month layaway it would be tough >.<;

      I was thinking, even if he was small he'd still be very fun to have! He's a very striking doll and bound to bring the 'oohs' and 'aahs'. I guess he'll be the exception and won't have to fit in with the rest.
       
      #255 nbluju, Jun 27, 2011
    16. I'm telling myself that since I have three tiny Pipos and Dearmine anthros, my dolls don't have to fit in with each other! Hell, I have white skin dolls together with pink skin dolls. I'm beyond them fitting with each other :D

      I hope the price will be similar to Epidos... Looking at the cost of him blank with a centaur body, I think that is very reasonable for a big hunk of horse resin!

      I wouldn't mind Zinc being naked - they've made the change between horse and human look much nicer. Epidos's torso sort of jutted straight up and looked like you'd need to cover it up to look any good. But Zinc has nice furry bits and curvy bits to make it look less out of place.
       
      #256 Damasquerade, Jun 27, 2011
    17. Uhuh... I might only be interested in the nude doll + hair + make up~ XDDDD That would make it pretty reasonable!
       
      #257 fransyung, Jun 27, 2011
    18. They call him the white archer though, so he might come with a bow like Heliot! Maybe it would even be light enough that the doll could actually hold it this time :p
       
      #258 Damasquerade, Jun 27, 2011
    19. :D I am definitely just interested in the nude doll... Nothing else at all - I have a bunch of extra wigs and eyes lying around, so at this point, if I might be able to add him, I'd want to cut down his cost as much as possible! :P

      But yea, I keep thinking that I might add him, but I am probably just doing some wishful thinking. Ah well, I will have at least until July 13th to make up my mind.
