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.

    2. Is his beard part of his head sculpt?

      Also, is it at all possible to get just the head?

      Thank you!
       
    3. Will he only be offered im Grey Skin?
      Cause in Gankutsuou he had blue skin.
       
    4. Hello, his beard is also part of his head sculpt?
      Sorry, we can't sale the head alone. Thank you
       
    5. Hello, sorry but it's only Special order gray skin of Count Monte Cristo
       
    6. It is a tough call, but 'grey is the way' it seems.
      In the series guide, Maeda notes that The Count was envisioned with an 'ashen grey' skin tone, but this did not convey his nature well when animated (the series Mooks shows some of the original colour plates with grey skin). Adding a slightly blue tint implies - according to Maeda - either intellect or magic. Certainly Maeda must have liked this doll as it is, as he signed off on it.
      I'll certainly be throwing my hat in the ring for it, but I can see why fans would have preferred a screen accurate doll, as opposed to a concept accurate.

      C'est lat vie...

    7. I mean Im happy we have this wonderful represantation at all, so no hard feelings. I just asked cause despite the original color concept I prefered the blue cause imho it simply fit better in the already very colorful world.
