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 Dollshe side of the Dollshe/Dollmore copy issue *translated statement page 27*

Nov 21, 2006


    1. becuase the production technique could explain how the markings got on the inside of the dolls.

      It could be caused by a chemical reaction at certain points, by the moulds, or it could ahve been a deliberate plant to prevent copying.

      Understanding how the doll is made will help prove either for or against in this case.
       
    2. *shrug* Dollshe, you have nothing to fear for your boys are mesmerising. :love Dollmore; it appears you must go and sit in the naughty corner. :sweat
       
    3. My Korean translator is a research scientist, so if someone can send me the links I could ask him to translate.

      Catrina
       
    4. LOL >> Rukawagf, I know what you mean, I've tried to translate that debate, those terms are rediculos but at least I know he knows what he is talking about.
      Dollmore will go to court to clear this occusaion for sure.
       
    5. Two things - one, US copyright law says nothing of the sort. The "rules" on a derivative work are not nearly that clean-cut. Copyright.gov illustrates that fairly clearly. Two - US Copyright doesn't apply in this case anyway.

      I'm not taking sides in this - I don't have enough of the facts. But US Copyright law is one of my specialties, so I felt compelled to open my mouth there. ^_^
       

    6. From what i'm reading, (more like from what i'm understanding ^^:;; wow i'm terrible in chem korean man...) it looks like all dollshe supports are saying even with chemical reactions and scientific answers, you can NOT explain those exact same shape, mold and places where those unfinished molds or holes appear in the INSIDE of the bodies


      Dollmore's supporters are saying, you idiot, did you even take chemistry? there's no way this body can be a copy because ___________ (this is where i get lost so sorry ^^;;;)

      by the way, both are bashing one another quite seriously and very harshly over there as well. very heated oh man. if not, smiling sweetly saying "Please calm down since i'm calm here and you are the one who needs some water in your face :D" such creepy smiles.... -.-;;;

      that was off topic sorries.

      anyways. from what i do know, of how little i do know of resins, you can sculpt it on top, bake it to make the origional mold and cast it several times? it does sound possible to copy dollshe's body's origional mold and add putti on top to try to change it. again, i don't understand the scientific terminology so ....

      i need dictionary to do exact translations probably. than someone who knows a LOT about resin casting to tell us if it's possible or not? damn this is gonna be really tedious...
       
    7. haha I hope he does!
      And I think Dollshe will go to court as well...lets just sit back and see what'll happen next *hides Dollshe banners* >w<
       
    8. Go Mr. Dollshe ;-;
      I love his work so much! And I'm so sad to see that...
      I'm a artist myself, and I always protected my style and my work to something like that doesn't happen, so I know the angry that he is felling right now...
      Hope everything ends well. ;^;
       

    9. Hmmm it looks like Dollmore is defending their side by saying that those depressions were caused by the manufacturing process... and then Dollshe supporters say that it cannot explain why it's in the exact place... etc...

      You are right, this is going to be very interesting.
       

    10. see? the war itself is sad. and it's a big news that everyone should know.

      but the debate itself is very interesting to me.... glad someone understands.
       
    11. I have someone on my msn contacts online now who did well in Chem in Korea.
      Rukawagf-Sshi, please could you copy paste the arguments still in Korean, just a couple where you don't understand the Chem and I could ask him if he makes sense of it, (and of course it would be up here for other users to read and translate.)

      thanks, sorry to interrupt your work and thank you for trying to keep this unbiased! I really want to have faith in Dollmore again (my Momo will be 2 years old soon), but I don't want to have false faith.
       
    12. It's really sad that something very controversial like this happens in a very innocent hobby. LOL.

      Is Mr. Dollshe planning to take this to court? Or is he just going to resolve this by appealing to the fans? He seems to have been ignored by the Dollmore CEO from my understanding... I guess it's wisest to take it to court... but then again it depends on Korean law. I really hope this gets settled and given the appropriate verdict. ><
       
    13. I LOVE my saint. He's dollmore saint with dollmore face up. i also love dollmore's van and Sa husky. so obviously i'm torn

      here's the link: http://www.dollmore.com/shop/shopdetail.html?brandcode=082036000031&search=&sort=order2

      go to the bottom at the discussion boards.

      i'll try to translate some as i go

      (what. i don't get it. it's slangs?) Why don't YOU look at the pictures Dollmore rep, looks like he has the right reasons to be mad. And if you are so proud and know you are in the right, STOP ERASING POSTS. So why did you erase all the previous posts? I'd like a explanation post after this thank you very much -.- from hearing from others, it looks you've been cutting the origionals and... (i don't get this either)

      I have held my temper a long time ago. Why don't you stay quiet? And those two below me, looks like you guys are spies from dollshes. Looks like you guys are trying to cause something and wants some sort of rebate.... tsk tsk.... I'll be holding my temper and why don't you guys take some concious yourself ^^


      translator's note: i don't think the correct word is temper but i'm translating as very loosly and fast as possible sorries.
       
    17. Thanks for the translations (somehow that made me LOL'd). I got a bit of info on how resin dolls are manufactured from this site...

      MAKING RESIN DOLLS

      Resins are 2 part formulas of pourable plastics which cure into hard and relatively stable objects. Resin figures are initially sculpted in any media. A mold is made from this model and resin is poured into molds. After curing, the parts are removed, cleaned, painted, assembled and dressed.

      Original models are sculpted any material: polyclay, wood, wax, earth clay, oil clay, etc. Some oil clays have a high sulfur content that can react with the RTV silicone mold making materials, so these oil clay models are first sealed to avoid direct contact with the mold making material or sulfur-based oil clay is avoided completely.

      The molds are usually RTV (room temperature vulcanized) silicone material, but a slower, less expensive brush on latex mold material can also be used. Newer mold materials are being developed.

      Resins are 2 part formulas of pourable plastics: a base and a catalyst. Common resin bases are urethanes, and epoxy. Many different colorants are used to change the color and opacity of the resins. Filler materials are added to extend the plastics with less expensive materials, or modify the plastic's qualities: opacity, texture, hardness, machineability, weight, and etc. Some common filler materials are: porcelain dust ("cold cast porcelain"), gypsum, marble dust ("cast marble"), and saw dust ("pourable wood", "formed wood", or "cast wood")

      i saw those body comparision shots and i can't say nothing but they are copies. personally because dollmore had so many cute babies, i was very interstested but now i'm very disappointed. looks like this board needs some organization as well.
       
    19. From what I grasp of the casting process, they would have had to cast the body part and then done a separate caste of the inside to create the correct sized piece that will make the body hollow. That way, the defects would transfer to the "core" and thus the marks would end up in the resin (until the core is fixed so there are no defects).

      These are NOT copies! I have majored in chemistry in college and my job deals with chemicalls all the time. I saw the pictures at denofangel, Bi-shop, and Phomael. BJD's material and _____ is similar but ____(some chemical)__ and ____ some engeneering word____ angeled holes? saying that these are copies are too forced. If you know anything about resin, at least 1%, you'd know what i mean!!

      Finally a dollmore side
