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.

    1. because of the war with Ukraine I have a long waiting time with unclear prospects for delivery... I really hope that there is a foundry in the EU that can work with resin...

    2. The first batch of Obsidian dolls are on their way from DCS now. The next batch should be the rest of the Obsidian orders and will contain dolls that include the new Eloy and Ingenue heads.

      We don't know how long the shipping will take, or what fees or punitive sanctions customs might slap me with for trading with Russia.

      Still working on finalising with a new casting company, I am not at liberty to give more details about it yet.

      It's still unclear whether DCS will be the ones casting the remaining back order for me or whether the new company will be able to do it. Depends how long things take with the next batch, among other things. Perhaps they will, and I can start taking orders again to be cast by a new company as soon as they are ready.

      I hope we will know something more through the summer...

    3. Hi Risi, I'm glad that we're getting feedback from you straight away. Don't give up, we're on your side and we love your work

    4. The preview in my email notification comes in Cyrillic?! So I have to check straight away to see what is being said. I make most updates recently just very quickly in Instagram, but long text and picture not always related.

      So these pokes and notifications are helpful reminders

    5. No, I'm in Germany and I'm translating into Russian because it's easier for me that way. I'm surprised myself that the quote from the translation is displayed the same way... Risi, if I may ask, are you planning any more orders?

    6. I am hoping to open a new preorder as soon as I can confirm new manufacturers will be able to produce to the required quality standards.

      I am also considering getting some Minigenue and Minipieta produced for sale, and then take a preorder for them. When the worst of the current heatwave is passed I will get back to working on the master parts.

    7. I will explain my question. I understand that right now nothing is clear at all, because this whole situation is very complicated. But I really want to buy at least one more doll of yours. it's like a drug addiction:love
       
      #927 Roxettfox, Jun 15, 2022
    8. Oh, that is both flattering and worrysome

      I definitely want to be able to open preorders again and not continue to have the problems of the last few years, so as soon as I can confirm a stable production capacity, sales can resume.

      My Obsidian Elbe arrived yesterday, and words do not do her justice any more than pictures.

    11. Just hopping in with a quick question: is there any news on when there will be another preorder for the large girls? I keep getting confused on who will be available next, so I apologize if this is a silly question. Is Twigling still working to find a new caster?
       
      #931 zomjirate, Oct 13, 2022
    12. Hey @zomjirate - Reese has been posting regular updates on insta (insta name twigling); she is still working on getting the existing preorders done so no date yet on when new orders will open again. She is almost ready to send the dolls to the new caster so orders can get moving along.

    13. You are correct, she is still working on developing a working relationship with a new caster.
      After that , there is the backlog of previous large dolls that needs to be fulfilled before Twigling will consider opening another order for large dolls.
      Hope this helps!

    14. It’s been a really long time since I was last active here, so I haven’t been paying attention to Twigling news.
      I have old Eloy myself (love that doll so much) and I thought the other day; I remember Eloy was made in a smaller version and I wonder if anyone has smaller Eloy? I saw pictures on Twigling’s site of old and new Eloy next to each other but I’d really love to see owner pictures of new Eloy, but I don’t find it. Maybe I just can’t find it or maybe he hasn’t been casted yet?

    15. Hello!

      Would anyone have info on hybrid heel feet that would work for Twigling body?
       
      #935 Holiday, May 29, 2023
    16. so... Twigling is once again opening preorders, while acknowledging that the backlog still hasn't been cleared. When was that last preorder? 2+ years ago? I desperately want at least 1 body (realistically 2) but the preorder announcement gave me some serious DollShe vibes, and she won't say who the casting company is and can't show the proposed colors :sigh this feels like a hard pass to me
       
      #936 Girrl, Jul 26, 2023
    17. I agree. It’s been so long, and without combing through random Instagram posts I have no idea where her resin colors land. Looking on the site I see one that’s just called “vivid” :huh?:

      Someday I still hope to own an onyx Ingenue elf, but I know this is just a fantasy :frownyblush::frownyblush:

    18. Same, I will mourn right alongside you :( I have all but given up and try to pretend she doesn't exist.

    19. Ordered a SA Ingene full doll and Eloy head on 7-15-21. Received them on 11-1-23. (There's no waiting room thread so I thought I'd record this information here.)
