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. lol i was laughing too. a few of them are creepy man... but mostly. i'm thinking wow these ppl are saying some harsher things than DOA
       
    2. Just a sideline. WHY, does everyone thinks this has to be some battle?

      I have said it, MANY times in this thread, that I am hUGE Dollshe fan.

      Why, does the advent of another TALL boy, create such ill will?


      If Kim, and Tensiya, feel they have been slighted, let them have the court decide.

      Meanwhile, the harrassment level towards Dollmore is totally out of line. (you guys aren'st seeing those letters, I have, and am.)

      I will say again, I am so sorry that Kim, thinks his dolls are so nothing as to even venture into an issue such as this.

      Kim's sculpts are in a world of their own, and he does NOT have to compete in the way he is competing on this issue.

      It's a HUGE shame, that someone has made him feel this defensive about his dolls.

      그리고 인형의 세세한 라인과 수지의 두께가 전혀다르네요. 물론 일부 비슷한 것은 있지만 비슷하다뿐이지 같지 않네요 이제 인형계를 위해서라도 그만하여주세요..씁씁하네요...기초적인 과학교육이 필요한 사람이 많이 있어서...

      And the sensitive delicate lines of the doll and the thickness and ____ is very different. There are parts that are similar, but that is all i can say. "similar" not "exact" and for the world of dollfies, please stop. this is very sad.... because we need a lot of ppl who needs to understand the basics of science in this world to understand what we are talking about....
       
    4. lol And I thought wars over here could get ugly. The translations are interesting, sheds some light on the debate in the actual country they're produced in. Very fascinating ^^
       
    5. okies this is where i get lost

      jmin1997 님, 화공재료공정일을 하신다면 혹여 실리콘 복제를 한 번이라도 해보셨나요? 실리콘 복제의 경우 수작업으로 이루어 지니 당연히 복제를 하는 곳과 그 때 그때의 상황에 따라 타공자욱과 기포자욱이 달라지게 됩니다. 그리고 밑의 분들이 운운하는 부분에는 그것 뿐만 아니라 원형내부의 마무리가 덜 된 부분까지 같은 것과 관절까지 빠짐없이 호환되는 것도 포함되어 있습니다. 카일타입과 하운드타입을 직접두고 비교하신 것도 아닌데 세세한 라인과 수지의 두께가 전혀 다른지 어찌 아시는 지도 궁금하며, 기초적인 과학교육을 운운하실 만큼 전후사정을 완벽히 아시고 다른분들의 의견을 하찮게 얘기하시는지도 궁금하군요.

      to Jmin1997-sama (or Lord) if you mean the chemical material ____ job did you try any silicon copies yourself? In the case of silicon copies _________ (I am lost) depending on many variables, the width and dept will change.

      and the people below did not just say the top area but the inside of the unfinished molds and holds that are the same even to the exact same joints that can be connected _____ (etc) You did not even put those two Kyle type and Hound type next to each other yourself to even see the different, so how do you even know the delicate lines, the dept are different or not, I'm curious how you know this and how do you know that when you say you know the basic chem, you know the ending process ____ okies getting lost here____ but you diss other people opinions and posts? I'm very curious indeed
       
    6. HOLY F*(#R&)(#$&R S#@()& i have to translate this? post. sigh here i go


      jmin1997
      실 리콘의 녹는점은 약1400도C로서 녹아서 유리가 됩니다 그럼 유리로 인형을 만드셨나요?...그럼 금형은 어떻게 하지요? 철은 약1350도C에서 녹는데 그럼 인형의 형틀은 무엇으로 만드나요? 아마 물유리계열 즉 이산화 규소와 알카리에 용융해서 만든 알카리 규산염 계열을 말하시는 것같네요 이것은 접착제, 성형제 등으로 사용됩니다. 여기에서는 복제라 할지 모르지만 공업적인 용어로를 성형이 맞습니다 이상은 철과 실리콘중고등학교 책이 나오니 참고 하시고 성형은 옛날 공업책이나 기술책에 나옵니다 아참 여자분이면 기술과 공업을 모르겠군요

      Silicon's melting point is about 1400 C degrees and becomes glass. so do you make BJD out of GLASS? ... and how about metal huh? Metal melts at 1350 C degrees so are all BJD made of metal? So what is it made out of?

      (omg someone help me) probablyseveral-glass-layer type basically, carbondyoxide (i think?) and Alcali usages, you must be meaning Alcali bacteria layer. (i think?) this is used for superglue and cosmetic surgery. Though here ppl may use the word "copy" but in the work world, it's used as "plastic surgery" the rest about metals and silicon is in MIDDLE SCHOOL science books so please go take a look and plastic surgery is in every old ____ books and skills books. Oh by the way, since you are a girl, you must not know about what ____ and ____ is

      sad since erm, i am a girl so erm i really can't translate those words??? oh man XD :D :D
       
    7. Maybe they're arguing that Kyle and Dollshe boys aren't the same size and people are counter-arguing that by casting a Dollshe boy, you get a slightly different size/shape due to the casting process?
       
    8. Tell you what; why don't we get someone like Donn in who actually knows all about casting resin and making BJDs? I'm sure he would be able to tell us just how casting/molding faults from the Dollshe bodies have been replicated so precisely inside Dollmore Model-M parts.

      It's that precise replication that I think is so damning, and I haven't heard a single word from Gayle or anyone else to explain it satisfactorily.
       
    9. So more nasty commbacks are said: woooo~

      아,밑에 글에 잘못 쓴 부분 있네요. 타공자욱은복제와는 상관이 없습니다. 다만 타공을 만들 때 생긴 자국이나 흠집이 복제 후의 원형에도 당연히 그대로 나타나게 되지요.

      Ah, my mistake, looks like there's something that's not written correctly. _____ copy has nothing to do with this. Since when you are (recasting?) the spots and holes in the inside of the body would of course be copied as well since it's in the origional body.

      (eh.. i dont think i translated that right hmm)
       

    10. well it'd definetly help. since i'm sitting here translating and thinking "geez there's no satisfactory scientific answer yet. or there is and i just can't understand science ^^;;;"

      they are also bickering back and forth on that board as well so.... not much is getting done there lol
       
    11. Sounds like the whole thing has degenerated into a schoolyard squabble. Soon, someone will say 'Well, my Dad's bigger than your Dad...' :roar

      Kinda tired of the whole thing now - this kind of sniping back and forth is such a turn off. :roll:
       
    12. Indeed, Donn would be of great assistance (I looked at his tutorials for my rough idea, which is likely not very correct seeing as I am no expert).

      I think people mean this will be a great battle of the companies (and Korean fans). No one here seems to be supporting one side or the other in an over zealous manner.
       
    13. these two are pretty funny ones ^^;;;

      jmin1997

      ... 그리고 성형(복제)을 하시면 제발 신경써서 보세요 아무리 정교한 기계라 하더라도 같은 제품은 하나도 없습니다 그래서 공정에서 오차의 개념이 나오지요 만약 타공까지 똑같다면 그것은 예술이 아니라 신기(神技)입니다. 원료의 의미조차 없는 분에게 더이상을 이야기 할 필요가 없겠지요
      ^^ 어린아이에게 미분방정식을 말하지 않는 것처럼요...

      ...... and if you want to do cosmetic surgery (copies), at least take a closer look. No matter how good and precise the machine is, there is no item that's like another. So when there's an error ______ but if there's _______ is similar, this isn't ART but MIRACLE. and to someone who just don't understand the meaning of materials, there's no futher talk that's necessary.

      ^^ like a little child who can't even talk about ___(I think this is calculus)____




      so the reply is: paengi07


      여자분인지 남자분인지는 알아서 판단하시기 바라며, 인형은 금형으로는 표현하기에 힘든 섬세한 형태를 한 것이 많으며 금형비를 감당할만큼 대량으로 뽑아내지 않아서 실리콘으로 틀을 만들어 복제합니다. 그것을 실리콘 복제라고하구요.^^물론 인형의 주제가 실리콘이 되는 것이 아닙니다. 복제시 실리콘틀에 우레탄을 흘려넣어 복제하는 것이지요. 참, 그리고 저도 학교다닐 때 기술은 배웠습니다.^^


      Why don't you figure out if i'm a girl or a guy, and BJD is made out of something that can not be explain in metal work, in very delicate way ______-something something i don't get______ and can not be made in masses like metal, and is made out of silicon and copied. This is called silicon copy ^^ of course, the topic is about the dolls, not silicons. and when making recasts you use silicon _____ something)_____ to make a copy.

      Oh and by the way, when i was in school, I learned how to work with resin and recasting.




      by the way. ^^ is a asian smile for ^_^ or : D or : )
      see what i mean that their smiles are CREEEEEEEPY? XD
       
    14. Ruka~
      My friend says, your gaps in translation the jmin/paengi argument are something to do with 'Industry and Technology' subject in middle school....Does that sound right?


      lol it looks to me like people put full stars in the review to protect their posts, cos the empty stars ones get deleted!!
       
    15. i find it more funny that we are all reading the korean ppl squabble so WE stopped squabbling... since we sorta realized it's sorta pointless XD i dunno.

      but i'm slowly reaching my limit. i'm at work and i shoulda left 3 1/2 hours ago. wow over time. XD


      jmin1997
      금 방 말이틀리네요^^ 그럼 우레탄은 발포가 되고 탄성이 있는 것도 아니겠네요 당연히 우레탄이 발포제로 사용된다는 것도 아시겠네요 전 예전에 발포제 공장에서 있었거든요 자동차에 사용된는 발포제를 현대에 납품했었지요..그라고 아마 님이 말하시는 것은 주물을 말하시는 데 주물의 과정에는 연마공정이 필수지요 그리고 제가 볼때 바디라인이 아주 틀린데요 쉽게 하나는 몸이 대칭이더군요 참내... 그리고 님이 말씀하시는 것은 주형중 셀형(sheel型)입니다. 그리고 우레탄의 공식명칭은 카르밤산에스테르고 실리콘의 공식명칭은 이산화 규소인거 아시지요? 저 잘랍니다 전 또 많이 아는 사람인줄 알았네 나머지는 혼자 알아서 말씀하시든 말든 .... 그럼이만...

      Wow, what a fast responce ^^ i'm sure ____ doesn't have carbon and ____ ? and of course ____ is used for _________ i'm am VERY sure you know all that. because there was a ____ factory. and in that factory Hyun-dai used ____ for cars.... i'm sure your LORDSHIP know that ____ and it is used for ______ it is very essencial. and seeing the bodyline, it's very different but one is defiently made as a whole. My goodness... and as your LORDHIP says, is actually NOT it and it is actually _______ (Sheel)

      blah blah blah blah something more chem words you do know that right?
      I'm going to bed. I thought everyone knew this but i'm sure you can talk amongst yourselves.... well then good night
       

    16. yeah it seems a LOT of posts got deleted.

      my gaps have to do with industry and tech words. i'm sure i know them in ENGLISh, not korean XD i went to korean school in elementry. but i moved to USA in 3rd grade. so... erm yeah. ^^;;;

      there's more in the previous pages. like 7 pages. so long. i'm trying to at least do first page because ppl seem to have wanted to know what they were saying
       
    17. So, you're a dollshe fan, have a cookie.:fangirl:
      I would think that the point of Dollshe being angry is not the fact there is another 70cm doll, it is the fact that they are similar and have similar mistakes.
      No, he does not have to compete; but if it turns out that Dollmore copied the moulds then it would have been that those people would bought the Dollmore doll might have chosen Dollshe instead. So it is money out of Dollshe's pocket.
      I don't see how it is a shame that Dollshe feels that their dolls have been copied. =( I'm sure if someone copied your photostories, you'd feel cheated as well.

      확 실히 전문적인 부분에 대한 지식이 많으신 것 같지만 인형에 대한 이해와 다른 사람의 이야기를 들을 때의 기본적인 예의는 없으신 것 같네요.^^ 더 이상 이야기할 필요가 없으시다니 저도 jmin1997님과의 이야기를 마치겠습니다.^^

      Though you sure seem to have a lot of knowledge, you don't seem to have much knowledge regarding BJD ____________ and you don't even seem to have basic manners ^^ I also do not have anything further to say, so I will end my conversation with Lor Jmin1997-sama as well ^^






      AND THAT my friends, was the first page where i went OMG i dont understand what they are saying but they got creepy smiles as they squabble!

      my brain fryed sigh
       
    19. This is sad...I wanted a Kyle. After this I'm not sure how i feel about getting one. It's silly how people will convict DZ on less than half this evidense, but when a 'better' version comes out they suddenly have to defend it. The chest piece is the same, the markings inside are damning. I think Dollmore has taken a Hound body and altered it to improve on it. I can't count how many times I've heard (or said myself) that Hounds are annoying to stand, and that their slouchyness is a bother. And the hipthrusting? Plus the complaints about the leg proportion (thighs too long).

      Honestly? I like the Dollmore body better. They made necessary improvements. However, I can't condone such a blatant copy. It's obvious from the inner marks that they were originally cast using the same mold, then modified.

      Hopefully Dollmore will be coming out with a beefier body that in no way looks like Dollshe's body. Both because I desperatly want one, and because I hope they realize thier mistake.
       
    20. I think that the person in that quote (I understand you're just translating, Rukawagf) is mistaking *silicon* and *silicone* . . . most BJD molds are made from silicone, which has a much lower melting point.

      And . . . I have to agree with Mr. Dollshe . . . you wouldn't get those indentations from the core mold unless you'd taken a mold of the Dollshe torso and used it as a basis for the sculpt -- in my opinion/experience.
