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.

Souldoll Vito (50cm) Discussion - Part 4

Apr 26, 2017

    1. Yeah, there's not a lot of other companies that have the mature 50-ish male as a standard size. A good number of the other 50's out there are limited in nature and hard to come by.
       
    2. I saw Jacob pop up as orderable again and pounced on it... got an email from them that it showed as available in error, and it would be at least four months if I don't want to cancel the order.
      I was like, yes! I'll wait! I just want one!

    3. @XanIgnis Ooooh! Contratulations!!!! -^3^-
       
    4. wow, @XanIgnis - it pays to stalk. :wiggle I should take a family portrait of my SD crew. so, far, 1 kid girl, 2 vitos, 1 zenith boy, and a Celestyn. not a lot of them, cut covering quite a few years.
      Jacob is gorgeous! bare and unpainted? 4 mos is a miracle.
       
    5. Tbh I couldn't tell from the email if that was completion time or how long before they start the production line back up. But I'll take it, either way!
       
    6. I'm glad to hear the Vitos aren't gone for good.

    7. What @Iron_Dog said XD Not sure if I'll need ANOTHER in the future, but... -^^- Happy they stick around.
       
    8. We never need another doll. Wanting another doll... completely different story. Not getting another doll... Herculean effort that fails more times than is successful. And I'm okay with that because I have a horrible addiction to resin in the form of dolls.

    9. Sooooooooooooo True!
       
    10. I asked Souldoll if I had an ETA regarding when Vitos might be back, and they told me this! :)

      "Hello?
      Thank you for your interest in Saka.
      As you know, some doll line are temporarily sold out due to our production schedule.
      We are considering to bring back the doll line before this winter.

      We hope your continued support.
      Thank you. :)"

      Thought I'd share the update. ^^
      Now comes the biggest question: where the heck do you get this size some shoes, LOL.

    11. That's great to hear. Thanks for sharing.

      Shoes? They don't need no stinkin' shoes. Everybody goes barefoot!

    12. Oh lord, Shoes are practically impossible to find for this size, at least in my experience. To be honest, the only shoes I've had -any- luck with are the shoes made by the company X.x
       
    13. I cheated a tiny bit and have Iple SID girl high heel feet for some of my Vito boys so they can wear heeled boots/shoes. The SID feet fit rather well on the Vito boys although you need to make sure you get the "new" style not "original" or else they won't work. I can take pics of this in case anyone wants to see it.

      Not related to this thread topic, the "original" style SID girl heel feet will fit the Iple FID muscular male body if you want/need your guy to have heeled footwear.

    14. @Epona : I'm glad you asked about the fate of the Vitos! I was so sad when they made the abrupt announcement to suspend their production because Soul Doll is king of the "SUPRISE WE DISCONTINUED EVERYTHING" notices. I had asked about their Tera-Zeniths but didn't get the same reassuring answer. =_=;

      I finally saw a Vito (girl) in person at my last meet and they are so beautiful! I ended up putting the Riris that was sitting at Doll Peddlar on layaway. :dohAt least she's fullset so I don't have to hunt down those odd clothing sizes...

    15. I am thrilled they are coming back! l love my Vito Boys so much!

      I am not sure for the Vito girls, but for the boys I have mine wearing SD17 sized shoes or anything around 9 CM on the outside.
       
    16. I wonder if they'll bring back the old sculpts or come back with something completely new. I wish they'd offer the hooved body again. Even better, the gargoyle body. I wish I'd had the money to buy the Tarot series Hanged Man (Amon or Kyle, I'm not picky as I'm really not sure what the difference between the sculpts is) back when he'd been posted for sale *sigh*. I also would've loved to get my hands on a Billion or even a Kowalski but the price (at the time) was way out of my range.
       
    17. I would suggest emailing Souldoll about your interest in a particular sculpt and/or an idea for a new concept! They might be open to rereleasing a doll, similar to how they did for aehael (centaur and then a faun release)

      not a Vito size but I really hope they consider a kyron and Devonia rerelease… I’d love to get them both on the new double bodies, especially so if they make them on faun bodies!
       
    18. @Epona I had asked them about the hooved body before when I bought my Berial (2nd release in grey). At that time they said they had no plans to re-release the hooved Vito boy body. While Belial's character doesn't have hooves, I most certainly wouldn't say no to a Vito with hooves. Especially since I have a newly acquired Soom ID51 who will eventually need a partner. I mean, I already kinda know who the character would be if they did a hooved Vito boy again (my wallet is shaking in abject fear at this idea).
       
    19. I asked Souldoll about the Vito line also! I said I was about to order Freya when they closed sales. I really was! They said they planned to open sales before winter! Must be careful what I spend now.
       
    20. Same here! I was planning on buying Saka or at least his head and... bam! Nope! lol.

      Gotta watch what I spend my money on in the meantime, as well, lol... Before shipping, Saka with the double body and faceup will be $485.00.. I might see if Souldoll can send him to be unstrung for cheaper shipping, vito boxes are huge and I am worried to see what shipping will be like, LOL. Especially since the outfit I want to get for him will be $150 or so... :'D I think I have a spare Souldoll kid box somewhere, not sure if he would fit in it but if he can, he can chill in there when he's packed up in my closet....
      After all is said and done, I am already looking at probably around $700 after buying Saka and some clothes for him... but at least I have some time to save up, and I can do a layaway for him if needed.

      Does anyone know if Souldoll has your doll cast during the layaway? Or is it only once the doll is fully paid for?
