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.

Traveling with MSDs

Mar 2, 2008

    1. I'll be flying back home to Florida on Thursday, very early in the morning. I was originally only planning on taking my Bao Fox, but I may decide to take my Little Fair Ren.

      I still have her original box from Angelregion, but seeing as I'm going on a plane, I'm thinking this probably won't work out. I don't have an expensive carrier or anything like that from any of the manafacturers. She MAY fit in my suitcase, but probably not inside her box.

      I am taking one carry-on suitcase and my other one will be my laptop bag, so I guess maybe wrapping her in some light coloured clothing with her pillow may be my only option.

      Do you guys have any other traveling tips/ideas? I would just put my suitcase in the cargo hold, but it's going to have my costume for the convention in it and it'll squick me if it's not with me. ^^;
       
    2. Heh, I put my Iple House Soo Ri (63cm boy) in my carry on bag when we moved back stateside from overseas. I kept him there until we'd cleared screening, then pulled him out and hand carried him. No one said a word. (I had the carry on bag and the laptop.)
      I'm sure an MSD won't cause any trouble either. ;)
       
    3. You might want to cobble together a face protector. I think someone said the clear domed tops of 7-11 Slurpee drinks can work for that (you could need something to hold it on the doll's head).

      I do think it would be best if he was in your carry-on. If his box will fit in your checked luggage you could stick clothes and come of your carryon stuff in the box and pack it.

    4. I actually saved her plastic face mask/cover from when I received her from AngelRegion, so thankfully that isn't a problem. I just hope she will fit in my carry-on, I suppose, with all of my other stuff.

      Thank you for your input, everyone. ^^
       
    5. I have traveled with my MSDs many a time on a plane without the use of a real BJD carrier. I used a small sports type bag as a carry on. I used the dolls' pillows, put a face plate on them, and wrapped a white pillow case around them so they don't get jiggled out of the pillows. Never a problem for me!
       
    6. I have packed mine in a carry on wrapped in a fluffy towel. Recently bought a carrier for MSD size and SD size but have not used them yet. I'm no fond of something else to carry on a plane but it is important to me that dollie is not damaged if I am bringing one along.
