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.

Taking back "that one that you let go of"

Dec 29, 2013

    1. Hurrrrr I got another Shiwoo head XD
      Instead of a full MNF I hybridized him onto a DZ body like my Breakaway and I'm thrilled to death with him now. He's even modeled after my old one.

      Under what circumstances did you buy it back? And if so how did it turn out the second time around?
      MNF Shiwoo
      I would say it's better this time around. I have come to realize that I have definite issues with the MNF body. I don't know what it is, but I can't deal with it. The Dollzone body is easy. I can make him pose the way I want and not have to work at it. The head fits perfectly on the body, it's proportionate and he's taller than he used to be which I like, and i gave him different, larger hands (I like big hands) so I've essentially made him the way I like my dolls. Plus the old one didn't really have clothes, or even a point in my collection. This one does, and I am more comfortable with him now.

      chalyss ~ *claps* I loved your story! I am so happy that doll found her way back home to you!
       
    2. This is one of the most epic stories I've ever heard in ths hobby. :)

      I'm glad you were able to get her !


      Personally, I haven't sold any dolls yet, but I think I would think about it for a long time before I decided to sell to prevent that regret.
       
    3. Thank you! I'm still tickled pink I got her back and smile whenever I see her!

      I have sold quite a few others that didn't work out right or that I made for myself -sometimes at great effort- and then didn't bond with, so sent them on to good homes. None were grail dolls, and I do think of the Juri/FD hybrid I made. I figure I made her once, I can make her again if I want to, but I still look at every Juri head on the MP when one goes up for sale. *L* I think it was a 2006 Christmas event head. I actually made that one because I saw one for sale on ebay and was outbid for her, so I saved the pics and modeled my own hybrid on that one. Is that cheating? I always felt like I was idea-stealing, though of course she wasn't exact. I still think of her but haven't felt compelled to remake her... yet. What I miss the most from that doll is the wig, because I sold her as a full set. (*makes a face* That probably means I want the wig more than the doll, eh?) But I have my personal pics of her still, just in case.

      Uh oh... I just looked at the old pics. I could find her a place for her again now. Oh dear.
       
    4. I definitely regret selling my Orientdoll Il. He is now impossible to find. :/ That's the only regret I have thus far.
