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.

Summerbird Mini Discussion - Viola

Oct 19, 2017

    1. Thank you so much! :) At the moment I'm mainly concerned about how to combat the yellowing, She was originally a dark brown resin color but large sections of her body have turned green. All of my MSDs live in a vague fantasy forest setting, so I'm sure I could incorporate the green into her character somehow, but I think I want to see if I can counteract it first. Other than that I'll probably have to wait and have her in my hands before I decide more specifics on how I'd like to customize her. :)
       
    2. Hopefully the restoration goes well, but it'd definitely be an interesting challenge to work the green in to a design.

      Man this is just reminding me I still need to work on customizing my pair. Poor things have been faceless since I got them.

    3. Sorry for the necro, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what happened to Summerbird and their dolls? Their website hasn't updated since 2022, and it seems they've just dropped off the face of the internet.
       
    4. I talked to her in early '23, and she mentioned she had some chronic health stuff going on, so dolls were not a priority for her right now. I hope she has been on the mend. It’s maybe a little selfish considering that but I do hope she feels well and motivated to do another preorder for Viola in the future - I really wanted a Mystique but I was a broke college student at the time and I figured there would always be future preorders, I certainly didn’t anticipate that being the only one, and never seeing a single owner photo of a Mystique. I was really hoping to live vicariously through Mystique owners for awhile there but I’ve never seen any.

    5. Ahhh, I see. Thank you for letting me know! I have chronic health issues as well, so I definitely feel for her. I hope she feels better soon as well, and her dolls are really gorgeous! Would love to have a Viola someday.
