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.

SWITCH Discussion ~ Part IX

    1. Okay, so. I continue to be a n00b.

      On the main page, there are two "items" for each Gyoha and Ajeong. One lists makeup, one without. All good, I understand what's happening here. (And I assume the makeup version is somewhat more limited than the blank?)

      But! For Gyoha, the promo pics for both "items" are pretty much the same, just different wigs. The makeup is clearly the same as the "with makeup" version is advertising. But with Ajeong, the makeup on the two sets of promo pics is DRASTICALLY different!!

      So, I understand that on the "with makeup" page, those promo pics look like the official makeup for this release. But what about the pics on the "no makeup" version? Is that makeup from a previous release? Is it something that might be upcoming in the future, or is there a special option for it somewhere? Or is it literally just a teaser shot, and that style of makeup won't ever be sold on that head?

      The reason I ask is because I Really Really Like the makeup on the "no makeup" head's promo page, and I'm trying to figure out how I might be able to get it...

    2. The 'no makeup' page features promo photos with the makeup done by Switch's boss, I think someone mentioned it somewhere in this thread, and Switch never sell dolls with these promo makeups. Such a pity, I usually like promo makeups from Switch much more than the ones they actually offer!

    3. I was afraid it was like that. What a pity! The promo makeup is so much more to my taste than the actual official makeup.

    5. Oh no, the makeup option for Gyoha is now soldout :atremblin All the artists whose work I like have their commissions closed all the time... I just can't ever be on time with applying for the slots! Maybe I should just learn how to paint my dolls myself.:|

    6. Yay I just ordered my Ajeong head! I already can’t wait to see him. And I was wondering which eye size Ajeong wears in makeup version pictures.. Is there anyone who can guess?

    7. Congrats! It looks like he's wearing 14mm eyes with regular iris but I'm not entirely sure.
       
      #7 Niel, Apr 29, 2021
    8. Thanks! Now I have a better vision ;) I‘ll searching for new eyes now :3nodding:

    10. Well, all Switch dolls are limited-time only (except for 3 sculpts that are available every month), so that's that. Currently you can only buy Gyoha M and Ajeong C, and the make-up option for Gyoha is not available anymore, sadly. I was hoping to get it! Sigh.

    11. That time is way too limiting :...( I feel like it is always soldout. I want DOHA so bad.
      AJEONG is beautiful :love
       
      #11 tru4ever, Apr 29, 2021
    12. Well, you can either find one on the marketplace (here on DOA or maybe on Twitter) or wait till Switch releases him again. ^^
      And yes, he is! Ahh, if only I had more money, I'd get Ajeong in rosy white... But I'm saving for Ryuzo! I regret not getting the Persona version... :atremblin

    13. I just ordered Gyoha in milktea rose! He'll be my first Switch and second SD so I'm super excited! :D I was debating on whether or not to get him with the faceup but my decision was made for me haha. The faceup one sold out so fast!

    14. Congrats! Please do share a lot of pictures when he arrives! :D
      It’s such a pity that the faceup version was sold-out so fast though. I really wanted this purchase to be easy but it seems like I will have to spend time looking for a faceup artist and then wait for it to be finished for god knows how long to be able to take beautiful photos... As most of us, it seems. I wonder how many faceup versions they sold. Was it more limited than Ajeong? Did something happen with the faceup artist? Or does everyone just want Gyoha much more? xD

      I decided to get Gyoha in Powder Beige after all, even though I’m absolutely in love with Milktea Rose. PB just seems more pale, which is what I’m going for with this guy. Gotta say, Ryuzo Persona’s promo photos changed my mind on this skintone. But I still want to blush his body using lots of pink pastels...

    15. I was looking forward to get Gyoha with face up, too, but.... I can't believe it! The time difference is huge, but I managed to wake up 4 hours after their sale's opening and it was already sold out!!!:aeyepop::...(

      However, I'm glad I could buy a blank head at least.

    16. I didn’t even think something like this could happen, though I understand that there is only one artist who does all the faceups for this Gyoha release... They must be pretty busy haha.
      I’m not too crazy about the faceup that they offered, though, I just didn’t want another blank head to add to my headache of looking for a faceup artist xD I now have 3 blank heads at home or still on their way and I’m honestly a bit lost.:nowords:

    17. I think there was not so many faceup version Gyoha available in the first place. It’s a pity that it sold out so quickly. I‘m trying to only buy faceup versions so that I don‘t have to spend extra time on faceup. So I decided to not get him this time.

      Anyways, I‘m glad that I ordered ajeong faceup version :) I also agonized a lot between milk tea skin and normal skin, but eventually I decided to get normal skin.

    18. Congrats! Ajeong is super cute in any colour. :dance
      It seems like there is a running joke on ig to tag different Switch dolls as Ajeong Closer when he is not even in the picture, so I would love to see more pics of the actual doll! :lol:

    19. I really shouldn't be thinking about another floating head as I'm still trying to find bodies for all the ones I currently have, but I've wanted an Ajeong Closer for a while.

      I have a Milhwa head that I bought during the discontinuation sale back in 2019, and the DF-H 65cm body I ordered for him arrive today. I got the body resin matched for Switch's rosy white and it's a good match. The head also has a good range of motion on the neck. The only downside is that Milhwa has a small head so it looks a little pin-headed on the body, but with a wig and clothes that'll probably help.

      Now, I just need to get him a face-up.

      I also have an incoming DF-A 68cm body for my Waseon. Hopefully shipping doesn't take to long.

    20. @Cloudedmind - What is the circumference of your Milhwa head? I was planning to get the same body for my floating switch head.
