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.

The Ai : Custom House Boys and Girls - Part 2

Jun 18, 2021

    1. My Chamomile doesn't have a plate at all. I will admit I haven't looked at my other two recently to remember. XD
       
    2. Thanks, I will think about it. XD
       
    3. maybe no plate but they came with certificates

    4. Absolutely true; I have three St. Minas. A lot of the older dolls just don't have headplates. Does the one you're looking at have the original faceup?
       
    5. They did come with certificates.
       
    6. Hi, everyone. I just got my first CH Choa and am over the moon! I think she's drop-dead gorgeous. But I can't figure out when she was made and I want to know. Her box says Ai on it and she came with her certificate but no date. Any tips gratefully received.

    7. @jenthered Dating is easier with photos of course~ The body type will narrow it down between early and later releases. And the faceup could make it either a "standard", "limited" or "unique" Choa release. Did she come with any sort of outfit or anything?

    8. The last time I bought dolls from Custom House directly was when they were winding down in 2011. @idrisfynn is correct pictures and details of your doll may help people estimate a date.
       
    9. Thanks so much. I messaged the seller on eBay who said that she's 2003 or 5, but closer to 5, probably, which qualifies her as an early doll. She came with four outfits, including one from Japan dealer, etc...and two wigs and I just love her!

    10. jenthered The early dolls were so beautiful! please post photos when you have time !!! :daisy
       
    11. @jenthered is the seller sydney2dolls? If so, I definitely saw that Choa and she's quite amazing with those early CH "angry" brows! Congrats on your new girl!
       
    12. Yes, she was. I've bought several dolls from her. A much-recommended seller. Except that I want all of her dolls, LOL! Thank you! I'm kinda over the moon on her. Such a pretty girl and so...her own doll, if you will.

      I will, if I can remember how, LOL! It's been so long since I've done very much here...but it's still the best place in town, so to speak. I'm gong to make myself remember!
       
    13. Hello all! I have recently fallen in love with Custom House Shaman Varim (pray for me!). I know she will probably never come up for sale, but I will leave my WTB up hopelessly for eternity :XD:

      In the meantime, does anyone happen to have any photos of this rare gem? I would love to oggle them. Thank you!
