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.

    2. That might make her want to do a resin version :-) I don't think artist mind enthusiasm.

    3. That is really cool. Can you aske her if she is making in resin, hopefully where we can inset eyes ad if she would just sell the heads? Her work is incredible but the stories of her shipping methods is scary

    4. I did message her and asked her if she will be making resin heads to sell separately and also if there will be full dolls with this head.
      Lets see what she says before I ask about inset eyes :-) I will reply here once I get a reply.

    5. She says porcelain only. Ah well. We did try. And we did let her know that there might be a market, should she change her mind some way down the line.

      ETA: And her response to my FB question.

      Unfortunately I' m going to cancel produce any resin Sphinx doll because of recasts of this doll. Therefore updated Sphinx body and head will be available made of porcelain only.

      That is a crying shame and I can understand her frustration, but now the recasters have won. Whilst she was having money taken from her by some buyers going to the recaster, now she will have no money coming in from these. Wow. Such a shame.

    6. Yes, she replied and only in porcelain. There are recasts on this doll? amazing that a casting company has the cheek to do that! I didn't think they did that with rare dolls such as this as they need to buy the original doll to recast it...

    7. than
      Thank you so much, with the resin and the heads as much as I do desperately love her body it would seem a bit safer to find a legitimate body here without fear of breakage.

    8. She showed me pics of her wonderful new boxes with foam cut outs in the shape of the doll for the regular dolls she did, after the cat issues. She said she created good boxes to be sure no more breakages happen. They looked to be professionally made, so I would not worry from here on. Though it is always good to ask if you do get a chance to order a cat.

    9. If she has ordered in boxes, presumably she is still thinking of selling a few more Sphinxes. I wonder when she is going to discontinue them. Those who are thinking of buying might want to ask.
       
      #129 MadamMauMau, Mar 14, 2016
    10. Well they were boxes she ordered for the two Mini girls she did. If you look at her flickr you will see them.
       
      #130 TreeLore, Mar 14, 2016
    11. Ah! OK. She hasn't said anything about discontinuing those. I keep forgetting she has done other resin dolls!

    12. that is really good to know and would like to hear if she has taken care of customers that had issues with broken parts in the dolls she had sold before

      I just read this, sorry am new to attempting to post and still not navigating or catching everything posted properly. I have heard this explanation used allot lately by makers of porcelain and resin dolls and doesn't make any sense. I feel it is utilized to stick with a particular medium or to just stop production of something. From what I have heard porcelain would be as easy to copy as resin if not more so. My aunt owned a ceramics store and from what I remember as a child creating a mold from a porcelain piece would probably be easier by far. The recast issue comes up all over the place and has me terrified to even attempt to get anything without running it by friends who know first. As far as items being bought to copy in same or other form I know that Asian factories have done that for a couple decades with statuary and plaques: obtaining a bronze piece then making a mold to make resin pieces, it is a big issue as well as the electronic area pirating. I do know all the Russian artists I admire all make porcelain dolls and I think that is a medium that they are comfortable with and feel has more value.It is disappointing. Whatwould be more of an issue they should worry about is this 3d printing issue that has sprung up.

      Hi there, just saw your post [yes, I'm slow on the draw] I agree and then some and wanted to ask: did you ever get the hand business taken care of? Was the factory able t help you?

    13. Me? I had no hand issues. Mine arrived fine, but was quite a while ago and I can't now remember if she was bubble wrapped or not. She didn't strike me as being badly packaged, so she probably was. I can't remember who had the broken hand issue, without looking back in the thread. I don't remember there being a resolution.
       
      #133 MadamMauMau, Mar 14, 2016
    14. Maybe the person will read this and let use know. LOL I am hanging out here but actually I don't have any of her dolls. I do admire her sculpting but I like SD size dolls.

    15. sorry I was speed reading through the posts and noticed every said they were poorly wrapped in saran wrap [but most miraculously arrive intact] and someone had a busted hand and se wanted to charge t send another

    16. Nooooooo.... :( that's unfortunate. Well luckily I have the sphinx, but I was hoping she would change her mind about the other head. Meh. What I hope now is that she won't only make new dolls in porcelain from now on.
