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. Wait?? It's possible to buy only the heads from UD?? Wha - where? Was it an event thing? I haven't been able to find a place to order only the heads, but if I can - woah I am going to order a fengniao!
       
    2. Yes on Clover-Singing only, you could request ANY head but the event is over (July-Sept. 1) You can message Christina and ask if they’ll have another one tho :blush
       
    3. AWH MAN, why am I always late to these kinds of things I also just missed out on Evatydoll Prajna's re-release. I need a bjd manager who informs me of important news lol.

      But I can see on fengniao's sales site on clover singing, in the product description, that it still says that you can write on email and request to purchase the head separately.. Hmm. Was this an event universe doll had announced? Maybe clover singing just hasn't changed the description yet. I wrote and asked, we'll see
      Thanks for the response! ⭐

    4. Lol a BJD manager would be awesome:XD: However, I think I’d go broke faster :chibi I hope Christina will let you get Fengniao- I’m sure she will tho she seems pretty connected (I mean I tried two other places asking if UD sell head only- Christina is legit MVP :D).
       
    5. My dolls shipped :D I don't know when they'll get here, but I'll be sure to do a box opening :chibi

    7. thanks for the heads up @Atzend, that is good to know! I hope my shipping takes a month or less - I hear USPS shipping is not the fastest atm :sweat
       
    8. Unfortunately the event closed! I was too late lol, which is the story of my life!
      I did ask her however if she knew whether there would be such an event again in the future and she answered that she hoped it would happen again around Christmas! So we'll see - if that happens, it just might be my Christmas gift for myself this year heh.

    11. I was told that heads sculpted by Mori9 were not included in the head only sale during the event, so I would not get too hopeful about Fengniao being available in a future event. :(
      Looking forward to seeing more Cang Lan! I can't handle dolls that size, so I'm super excited that Mori9 is doing a collab with DollFamily H for a 68cm guy.

    12. Congrats, I can’t wait for you to show him off :whee::whee::whee:

      Oooo wow- do you know when Mori9/DF collab will be released? I wonder if it will be limited.

    13. It will be on 25th of November. Check DFH or Mori9 threads. I hope it is not a limited release.

    14. I hope that they'll sell heads by themselves again. I'd love either human Zacharias or human DeAth for a character to shell, but I want to put him on a very slender looking body without defined muscles.
       
    15. Hi everyone, I have a question for Universe doll owners. I am a BJD newbie.

      I just bought an SD-sized Universe Jonas head second-hand which I am confident is legit - has CoA, metal Universe doll disc inside head, etc.

      The sculpt is beautiful but markedly asymmetric (to me.) Measured with calipers, the distance from the bottoms of the ear to the rim of the neck is 12mm on one side and a bit over 8mm on the other side for an symmetry of almost 4mm. The doll's left nostril and left corner of the mouth, are about 1mm lower than the right side. The lower left eye orbital also appears lower but I haven't measured it with calipers yet. I noticed it immediately -- the human eye sees asymmetry of about 0.2mm and higher. This is not necessarily bad as the vast majority of real human bodies also have asymmetry but it was surprising to me.

      My question for Universe doll owners, is this sculpt asymmetry also present in the 70cm SD sized bodies? I am trying to decide whether to get a Universe doll body or not.

      Based on this asymmetry I assume they sculpt the dolls by hand, not using 3D modeling software?
       
    16. My Lu Zimo is slightly asymmetrical but not my YuYuan- I’m not sure if both of these dolls were sculpted by the same artist. I think some of the earlier 70cm dolls look asymmetrical in their promos. In fact, I wanted LuZimo because of this imperfection :XD: Judging by the quality of the head sculpts tho, to me it looks like they sculpted the asymmetrical purposefully :XD: it’s just, the resin is such good quality and such beautiful profiles how do they not notice it being asymmetrical? :XD:


      I got the UniverseDoll body last year and it is beautifully sculpted. I do not notice any asymmetry in the body. I can post pics of it tomorrow if you like?

    17. Thank you!! It's super helpful to me to know that you also have a head with pleasing asymmetry but don't see any in the body. I always love seeing photos, but your judgement that you don't see asymmetry is most important. I couldn't see asymmetry in the Jonas head glamor photos due to the angles it was shot at, so I wasn't sure about the body.
       
    18. It's been awhile since this thread had activity, but does anyone know if Universe Doll does tan for events only? I tried to inquire about ordering a doll in tan, but Christina/New Clover Singing told me that they don't offer it anymore. I looked in their Taobao store, and the tan option is gone, too.

      That said, does anyone have a doll in yellow? What do you think of it? Some yellows, like Dollzone's new yellow, are just a hard pass. :frownyblush: If tan is no longer available, this may be an okay alternative...

      Appreciate any information - thank you!

    19. So this is still Musen doll, right? I am so confused because when I buy Musen they aren't under Universe doll, but I posted Dual here when I got him (I have two more heads coming in and I'm not sure this is the right place lol)
       
    20. so I am buying a 70cm universe doll body and I need info on what other company might work for a really good fit on this boy body..oh and he is white skin.
      a realistic pretty boy
      :abow:
