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. As much as I want a SD girl, I think I will get this Tedros instead. I mean just look at him, he is just gorgeous in every way possible!

    3. *raises hand* i do love Tedros in that color XD

    4. Hehe! I'm glad this version of Tedros has been so popular! It makes me hopeful that Iplehouse release dolls in this color resin more often.

      I haven't ordered my Tedros yet; I will almost definitely need a layaway & like to pay as much as possible on the first payment, so I'll probably place my order on Aug 11 & then make my first payment w/everything I've saved up. :)

    6. May i ask where you see the info for her rerelease? Youre link says From Mar. 12th. to Apr. 11th. That seems way to far forward to be a realistic release time for ilpe.

    7. If you look on the page were they have their limited they have her in the line up of dolls that are curretly for sale. She was also, bumped up to the first page from the fourth page.-->http://www.iplehouse.net/shop/step_submain.php?b_code=B20070312035403

    8. I know this may not necessarily belong here but realskin Asa can already be purchased! Seems the only thing stopping Ashanti from being this way is that a price isn't up for her yet.. I wonder what is making Iple release her right now? Why not wait til the Carina/Theo order period is over and give more of us a chance. :sorry

    9. Maybe weather/climate conditions are good right now and in the near future, so that they are able to cast tan/ebony/realskin dolls with less grief atm?

      I'd love to see Benny and Ashanti in the brown tan as well as the darker ebony.

    10. Hey guys, I asked iple and they said that was a cancelled layaway and they only had the one... she's sold out again now. I wonder who got her! Anyone here??
       
      #310 Dreadfulme, Aug 25, 2010
    11. I ordered Ashanti via the CDS, she'll be the same as the special edition Ashanti.

      I'm thinking that I'd like to order Benny in rose white skin at some point and have an albino african doll

    12. that makes me curious. once in a while i have seen some african-americans appearing to have albinism, out and about in the real world. they did not seem to be that pale. but perhaps a person who had such a severe degree of albinism (comparable to rose-white skintone) would not be able to go out under the sun? and so i would not have seen them. i'm not sure i've ever seen a caucasian albino person out in the real world in the daytime, and at night i wouldn't know if i had seen them or not.

    13. Well, the main reason I thought of rose white Benny would be good for an albino would be it would be easier to put a face-up on her to make her an albino than it would be with the other skin tones, albinos have a pinkish skintone and even the normal iple skin tone has a slight tan.

      The only albino I know of who's skin comes close to being that pale is model Connie Chiu


      Well, I won't be getting rose white Benny to turn her into an albino, yesterday I had a new idea. I ship Piper and Stork from Storm Hawks. I'm thinking of getting Benny in rosewhite and sending her off to a customiser to mod her ears and dyeing her green, give her Stork's 'emo' hair with Piper's hair colour and having her as a Stork/Piper child (don't know if I'd go with Piper's eyes or Stork's eyes)

    14. I know that dollzone has tan dolls. At least their Cosmo's are available that way. :)

    15. Interesting, will be checking it out.

    16. Ditto! I need an affordable ethnic doll, that looks a bit more like me in the skin tone department. I'm African American and I only buy dolls that look like me. Eventually I may breakdown and get a non ethnic doll, but before that I think I'll just go back to writing and not buying.

    17. thanks for sharing dollstown, I cabn't go for the anorexic looking dolls, I'd be making fake food all the time for her to eat.

    18. I have become obsessed with ethnic dolls. I even sent off for some special hair to make a variety of appropriate wigs since the closest thing I seem to find is mohair and even that looks like it's had a ton of relaxer on it.
      Here are my various girls, will post again once I get these wigs finished. Hopefully will get in some lovely twists and dreads and afro-gorgeousness.

    19. What do people think of Dollmore's new model Keeley Sum? ^^
      I think she is incredibly beautiful, especially the way her eyes have been sculpted...as soon as I have the money I would like to get her. In her photo's, her resin just looks so smooth and soft and ....edible! I'm thinking 'nice one Dollmore'! :lol:

      p.s. That being said, I would have to do something drastic about the teeth, other than this, she is perfect!

    20. I asked if we could have teeth lines painted in lol. She looks like the singer Brandy to me.
