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. Glossy, boxed, hard cover. Very nice! Mine arrived today - only about 6 months since I ordered it!! Some shots in it are fantastic, and some (not many) suffer from "Volks Photography" if you know what I mean.

    6. I also received mine today - it's hardcover and comes in a cardboard presentation box, which explains the mailing cost right there.

      It has a lot of lovely pictures of all the standard models and a number of one offs - it's sort of a document of all the dolls available before the grand switch on 10/23. However, the one offs with optional heads have them numbered in the new system, not the old.

      There is also a pictorial tutorial on face ups using a colored pencil, and how they took the pictures of the dolls (after seeing their photography set up, I understand why my pictures are hit and miss - when you have a studio like that, half the battle is already won!).

      There are also pictures of Tenshi no Sato, a map of the compound, and what looks like a description of how to order FCS. However, there are not photographs of all the FCS parts available. They just have a distance shot of the glass case in which there are all the heads in all the skin tones.

      Inserted into the book are the postcard and flyer for the chance to buy Noel. It's all in Japanese, and I'll bet that it's limited to Japan only. This isn't a problem for me, since I really don't need another doll right now!

      All in all, it's a nicely done book, and a good reference for what's come before in Super Dollfie development.

      Marcia.

    7. wow, I'm dissappointed, then! A big reason for the delay supposedly was because they SAID they were adding new fcs stuff! that's not much about it, huh? :( oh well... I'm sure I'll love the book anyway

    10. Mine arrived this morning (on a Sunday, how weird?) and it was totally worth the wait. Such a beautiful book! There's some really nice photos of some of the new FCS heads -they really bring them to life. Definately worth getting! I'm glad I ordered it when I did. ^^

    11. yeah, it's really lovely! I got mine too! :D I like how the presented it, and I REALLY like that the pictures of all the dolls are HUGE and highres and gorgeous!

    12. I got mine this morning, and I am delighted. It doesn't have a complete reference of FCS heads, which is a shame, but I'm glad that they at least got some of the Mini SD FCS heads in there... very exciting!!! I hope that a 'new testament' comes out in the next year or so.

    13. I got mine today, and it's INCREDIBLE!!!!
      I love pics, and these are clear, beautiful, and gorgeously costumed.
      I seriously wish I could read Japanese, though, as I'd love to know details on some of these dolls.
      If Noel was a girl, I'd try to get one from Japan....would be the perfect little sister for my Anais girl.

      Thanks Maz, for sending me the link!

    14. I have had this question for awhile - does anyone provide translations of the Japanese text for books like this or the Carte d'un Ange?

    16. I don't know of any but it sounds like a fun project. If I can make time this winter perhaps I'll give it a shot. Best way to learn is to do, right? ^-^
