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.

Trouble picking a doll

May 18, 2017

    1. I tried making one of my characters (that has existed since I was in middle school!) into a doll. But it was a hard process, one I ended up giving up on. I may try again later, but for now I've given up on it. It's really just 2 things that are the problem for me: finding the right head and finding the right wig. The last part may sound weird to some, but this character is a redhead. There's far less red wig options out there than pretty much any other color, and when I do find a red wig it's either the wrong shade of red, it's the wrong size for the type of head I'd buy it for, and/or it's the wrong length. She has really long hair, and LONG red wigs are even tougher to find than red wigs generically.

      I've never tried making my own wig and probably wouldn't ever do so. I think I'd do a terrible job at it.

      Anyway, yeah. That was my story of having trouble picking a doll.
       
    2. I just ordered my first doll! And yeees, I struggeled finding the perfect first doll! I looked up so many companies and loves so many sculps. Now, after 1/2 year I have a huge doll wishlist!
