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. Hubby was really impressed on the new Iplehouse Ashanti, but he thought I wanted him to buy her.....maybe he can later, but I doubt he would want to spend that much on these type of dolls again.

    3. I want her SO badly! I'm still trying to figure out if I can afford it... Ack why is everyone releasing gorgeous dolls at the same time?

      I absolutely love Iple's African sculpts, especially the EIDs... I'm head over heels for Kamau as well. I can only hope they will seasonally re-release these guys... It doesn't seem like many people got the Realskin Kamau last release, I just hope they don't stop offering the option...

      Not to mention I still need a body for my other tan guy... I hate how expensive colored resin is (even though I understand why, it still stinks for the tan resin lovers XD)

    4. Ashanti is absolutely stunning. No chance of being able to afford her in time, but oh - want!

    5. I want her too! I've been hoping they would make a girl just like Ashanti since Jessica was released... so of course they do right after I put a realskin I on layaway with them. Arg. There is no way I can do both right now. Also, here is to hoping they'll make her a little JID sized sister.

    6. I'm really interested in Ashanti and hope that Iplehouse might release Kamau again soon as I'd love to have a partner for her.

    7. I can't wait to see the different face-ups for Ashanti. I asked for a special face-up so hopefully I get it.

    8. RROSS- I can't wait to see Ashanti from owner pictures, I'm sure she will be lovely!

    9. I ordered my Ashanti a few days ago. Paid in full. I will post pictures of her later after I get her.

    10. Ashanti IS very impressive & beautiful!

      On a sidenote: I wish more doll companies offered a wider range of "skin tones" for their resin as a standard option. I'd love to be able to order a doll w/a more realistic skin tone, or at least one closer to my own, without it being a special event. :)

    15. I'm in search of an ebony/dark tan male elf doll and I sent Bobobie an e-mail asking if I could get one in dark tan, and they said yes and even quoted me a price :) Hope that helps

    16. i think all the colors are difficult, but the deeper the color the harder it is to get the resin color even and not have bubbles and stuff. not sure why on the bubbles, but that's what i heard, anyway.

      but more companies are getting into alternative colors, definitely. i like that bbb/rs have all the colors of the rainbow, and now dikadoll has grey and tan (and i suppose we will see their jointed hands in tan some day soon, at which point i am doomed! because i will need several sets).

    17. I think the problem with deeper colors is not necessarily bubbles in the resin, but marbling and unevenness in the color, as well as the fact that there's a big chance of discoloration with any sanding done. I think all of that stuff actually still happens with the lighter resins, it's just a lot more noticeable in darker colors.

      nataluna I actually ordered a pair of tan dikadoll hands from mint on card, I can post here when I get them :3

    20. Hi everyone,

      I have a neophyte question.
      I'm thinking of getting an iplehouse gentle cocori in normal skin and dying her tan.
      She comes with eyes and I'm wondering whether you remove the eyes theough the neck or whether they have a head opening on the top?
