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. I think they will look different in NS, and with a little more "human" face up :D I'm very excited about him, I'm sure he is coming home :D

    2. I'm sorry, the more I stare at those feet the more they bug me. Those are chicken feet. Chinese or Korean imperial dragons have five toes on each foot. If he's a dragon god shouldn't he have more toes than a chicken? :sweat don't throw things, I'm just wondering.

    3. As far as I know, Korean dragons have 4 toes...
       
      #723 leXis, Sep 26, 2009
    4. Depending on the tradition, it varies on toes. I believe Japanese dragons had 5, Korean 4, and Chinese 3 (I hope I didn't mix it up. @_@). There is no set number at 5. Apparently dragons lost their toes if they strayed too far from their homeland.

      So no. Not chicken feet just because he has 4.

    5. That's what I read before, except that they lost or gained depending on what culture you asked. Chinese thought theirs were the original and as they traveled to the east they lost toes. Japanese thought theirs were the original and dragons gained toes as they traveled west. Korea, all I know is I read they had four toes.

    6. DarkRegrets>> You did mix them up. It's the Chinese (imperial) dragons with 5 toes, and the Japanese ones with 3. ^_^ Korea was always 4, though.

    7. lol And males have a club at the end of their tail and females have a fan, but it's seldom portrayed because humans don't need to know the gender of a dragon.

    8. I'm trying to be Soomed by him but I think I might have to hold off I don't really know... But I love his back story and I Love the dragon parts. What would have made it even better for me is if there were dragon wings. *sigh* going to give it a few more days.

    9. NecrochildK>> ah? I didn't know that. I'm a dragon baby and I've been interested in dragons since I was a kid, but there's so much contradicting information out there, even in Chinese... haha...

      Runner27>> Asian-style dragons generally don't have wings... and Western-style dragons don't usually have chicken legs. XD
       
      #729 leXis, Sep 26, 2009
    10. wow I learn stuff all the time. I didn't really see them as chicken legs. They look very reptilian to me.
       
      #730 Runner27, Sep 26, 2009
    11. Did you order him in creme white or NS? I have not ordered him because I'm not decided with his dress and skin type. I don't like his dress for sure but I only buy full set dolls complete with original cloths and accessories. So, I really don't know if I should get his cloths.

    13. Sorry if this is slightly off-topic, but who is the girl doll pictured with the Monthly? She's really gorgeous!

    15. Thank you!
       
      #735 Leenah, Sep 26, 2009
    16. Thanks for clearing that up. XD Haha, now I know for sure. I recently did some looking tino the legends, and I thought the whole losing of toes thing was pretty darned interesting.

      But yeah, point is, dragons can have different toe numbers.^^ I never saw them as chicken legs though- not even Euclase. I saw him as having hawk feet. There are other birds besides chickens that have talons. :/

    17. lol DR you and Tosh are having twins again. :D
       
      #737 jacobean, Sep 26, 2009
    18. You know, I really don't think they look like chicken feet at all, but like bird-of-prey talons.

      Chicken toes are really splayed out: [​IMG]
       
      #738 muterari, Sep 26, 2009
    19. jacobean you're right! :lol: First our Dia triplets, now Sphaler twins! Haha! Awesome!

      muterari I agree. That is precisely the reason I argue against the talons vs chicken feet. Talons:

      Even then most falcons have three claws.
