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.

    4. OMG my little Aku is here!! She got here yesterday or today, not sure since I was not home but the box was already here when I got home this afternoon!! That was SUPER fast. She also cleared customs without any fees to pay, YEAH!! =D

      Wow she is so adorable, but I'm so afraid to break her compared to when I'm handling Dollfie dreams, it's really a different feeling! I think she is heavier or just as heavy as a Mini DD lol. Also she is so WHITE I'm afraid to get her dirty. I just had her stand on my kitchen table which was pretty clean but then I could see little brown marks under her feet appeared already, which rubbed off right away though but that did scare me hehe.

      I have a couple questions since its my first resin doll, on top of her head, just where the head cap magnet is underneath, I see a little greyish dark spot. Is that a stain in the resin, or am I just seeing the magnet through the resin? I'm wondering if this is a defect or not? It looks kind of like she rubbed on something dirty but it won't rub off...

      Another question about souldoll makeup, is it already coated (I don't feel anything like MSC) or should I coat it to protect the makeup? Also I cant think of restringing something so tiny, would it give me a really weird result if I coated her lightly while she is still strung? I was thinking I could do her front, let it dry, then do her back. Would I get all kind of weird gunk stuck in between her joints, even if I coat it really lightly, or would it be ok?

      Finally... one last question. Her head will bend forward, sideways, turn from side to side, but won't bent backwards. Is it like that for everyone else? I'm wondering if thats the way she is made or if she is just strung too tight.

      Thanks for anyone who can provide me some answers... =D

    6. chibichibiusa, I'm so happy you finally got our kitty! I hope I can answer some of your questions.

      The magnets do show through the resin, it might seem like it's dirty, but it's just the
      magnets. SoulDoll do coat their face-ups, but I'm not sure if its MSC they use, a while
      back (way before I got Amon), I read somewhere that they didn't use MSC. When I
      asked them, they said they did coat their face-ups so not to worry (but they didn't tell me
      what they used). I wouldn't suggest that you coat her while she's strung, because it might
      get gunk-y, or too thick and start to peel off, and ruin the blush. I believe mine can turn his
      head backwards, but not too much, just the slightest bit, I think it's the way the head is sculpted.

      I hope to see your kitty with all your other girls soon.

    8. Thanks!! You've answered all my worries!! Ok I'm happy they coat their makeup hehe I would be way to lazy and scarred to put this little boddy appart for coating... and not be able to put it back together lol.:sweat
      Aww she is so precious, I have to find her a cute name. I think I'll be to paranoid to take her out the house too hehe.
      I so hope Souldoll makes a rabbit in this style!

    12. chibichibiusa, I'm glad I was able to help at least a little! I am paranoid
      about touching Akiiki as well, he's by far the whitest resin I have ever owned! Soooo pretty!

      acexkeikai, congratulations on getting yours as well!

      Is there a database for them yet? I want to add mine if there is one.

    13. souldoll aku, i know, i've been wanting it big time! and i want the cash eyes! i do! he's going to be a money stealer!
       
      #133 Kiba_Girl, Jul 10, 2008
    14. not yet Enzyme as the mod's new rules is that you have to have the doll in hands and got pictures of it to make the database. The Database is then reviewed by the mods and if accepted they will post it.

      Since I just got my Aku I haven,t been able to make the database and I haven't been able to take pictures yet.

    18. acexkeikai, he/she's so cute! You got the same eyes I got for mine. =^-^=
      I can't wait to see how he/she looks with tiny bat wings!
      I think Kupo is a really cute name, fits really well with your concept too. ^___^

    19. Has anyone seen the cute LE50 blue, and pink Aku, SoulDoll has released
      for Dollectable? I wish I could get a blue one, it looks so cute in blue resin!!!
      Anyone attending the event planing on getting one?

    20. Thank you! I can't figure out if it's a he or a she... it might take me a while to figure it out. Me too I am wanting to do those bat wings but I'm afraid to mess up the body blushing. Maybe I'll do a t-shirt with Batwings... but he does need batwings at a certain point.

      Yes I think Kupo suits this Aku... and will make for a good story LOL
