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.

Tanned Limhwa Half Elf, Mano Elf, Human, Eva and Dreaming Half Elf Discussion

May 29, 2008

    1. omg tanning!!?? GAAH! I want one in tanning tooo!

      I really hope the tanning option for all dolls will be available later on?

      I would love a little limhwa foryou girl in tanning! but at the moment I'm so broke! (I had to pay a €133 randsom to get my half elf out of the claws of the dutch customs...)
       
    2. Oh wow! I can't wait to see what Half-Elf looks like in tan. I bet she'll be gorgeous.
       
    3. I have a question! Do the tan versions cost more than the normal urethane ones?
       
    4. I'm also wondering if there are any issues that I'd want to be aware of with tanned resin. How does tan resin fade/yellow? Any other issues?
       
    5. Dear Catrina,

      Which body I will receive for the tanned Mano Elf? :D

      The normal or muscular chest? I WANT muscular type!!!! :aheartbea:aheartbea
       
    6. darn. if this were a July order, I'd be OK.
      I so want a tan sleeping elf girl - a true dream doll. :...(

      what can I sell?

      *dolls jump from view as my eyes sweep around the room*






       
    7. I don't see how people can order tan girls without seeing sample pics first xD

      @_@ <- wants to seeee
       
    8. I really really want to see as well, but I also couldn't order until I'd seen photos. ^^;
       
    9. Does anyone know if there are photos of the tanned girls up anywhere (particularly the half elf sculpt)? They're BEAUTIFUL in white, but they are a lot of money and I'd love to see an example before purchasing :sweat
       
    10. I'd really like to see what the face-ups would look like on the tan girls.
       
    11. Um, one more question, and this one might be a bit dumb ^^;; I was wondering about the shipping on the dolls to the US and added one to my cart (no face-up or extras) and even though the price on the site says $650, in the cart it says $685 w/out shipping and taxes...can anyone tell me what's happening? Is there an extra charge I just don't know about? :\
       
    12. The cart does the grand total for you, so the $685.00 is the shipping added to it, $35.00 is the shipping cost if you subtract 685-650. The Tan I've heard can be sanded since it is Urethane and not French resin. I don't think the cost will be too much, my Eva is in Normal Beige Urethane which is very lovely in color. Can't wait to see these dolls in Tan.
       
    13. I want to see more pics of them:)
       
    14. Hi everyone,
      We won't have pictures because they won't exist until the order is made....

      So we are just offering to order these for people who want one, because it's difficult for her to do a large tanned order but she agreed...

      If you want to wait, please understand it might be a long time before I can do it again.
      She has sold quite a few tanned Mano and there have not been any problems reported with the resin changing colors or having any other issues.
      Thanks!
      Catrina
       
    15. Would you happen to know what the face-ups would be like? Would they look like the ones the limited tinies had or be more natural?
       
    16. I decided while another limwha girl would be great in tanned a Mano would make my year in tanned....an my finger sliped on the order button:) cant wait to get him home^^
       
    17. Hmm. I'm really curious how the tan looks. The tanned Limho Mano doesn't look too, too dark. Seems like the Mano used in the example was a similar color to the Supia tan? If so, would not be too much darker than Volks sunlight?
       
    18. Limhwa and Supia dolls are cast at the same place, so the tanned Limhwa resin and the tanned Supia resin are basically the same color. It's a really nice color, not too darkat all.
       
    19. :aheartbea I've got my fingers crossed on this one. I've wanted a Tan Dreaming Half Elf since before they even existed. :lol: Hopefully I can do it.
       
    20. Thanks, abbie, for that information! I knew they were similar materials, but not that they're cast at the same place. One of the local doll people has a Mini Supia in tan. She was absolutely gorgeous! A nice, soft tan color. Much lighter than the Iplehouse tans I'd brought with me.
