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.

Tan/African American/Black BJDs - Discussion!

Dec 14, 2007

    1. Oh that’s exciting. I’m in the obsidian preorder, so I’m broke as heck for the next little while! Hopefully I have savings again when Raw Umber comes back. I missed an oryx second hand who was absolutely beautiful in it.
       
    2. This thread is really interesting!
      I have a classydoll type 2 in very dark color (black n°2, if I remember well the color name), and she has no body since I use hers for an other head.
      Do you have any idea of what body might fit her? She needs a small SD body, as she is very little for a SD head. I would kill for a Bimong dandelion body in the right color, but I don't know if it is going to happen one day.

      Here is the head:

    3. A custom color Impldoll or Island Doll? They have a 56 and 58cm body, respectively.

    4. I am in LOVE. Oh my - I just bought another one myself - an Argodoll girl in this type of dark resin! She has a curvy body type too, and I'm SO excited about it.

      I was quite disappointed with my Mika (she's sort of an ashy purpley colour that I now need to tan to something decent.) AND my Iple Aaliyah. She came in a really light brown colour that doesn't fit the character at all. Her sculpt is beautiful, but I'm really disappointed.

      I also didn't know that Dollshe was a) this inexepensive(!?) and b) offering so many sculpt choices and colours!! This is going to be a rather... tight month for my finances me thinks.
       
    5. Thank you @iamkathybrown for the suggestion ! Well, Island doll is an idea, even if I would perfer a body a little more little. :)

      @Teruchan Thank you! Maybe she will have a body one day XD
       
    6. The very first dark skin bjd I fell in love years ago, was Tobi in chocolate tan, MSD size.
      I still look for her everywhere! I really love the rich dark color Kaye Wiggs chose. Must confess there are plenty of other sculpts I love, but Tobi has a cute, cartoonish face that has an effect on me :)[​IMG]

    7. Bringing back a comatose thread! :XD:

      At the beginning of COVID, I made Adrastos a lab coat and a mask, so I thought I should show it off since I just re-found this thread. :sweat

    8. Where does everyone get their wigs from? I have Iplehouse Aaliyah and want to get her some braids or dreads. Most of what I've found looks shit.
       
    9. I made Adrastos' wig with wefted wool sewn into a wig cap. It took a long time, but I'm super happy with how it turned out. :)

    10. @AhhTheHorror I have a few handmade alpaca wigs where the maker retained the natural curl, it does a good job looking realistic and textured (but they can get pricey). Loose alpaca wigs are a bit easier to style and texturize
