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.

Unoa is coming to Europe again

May 21, 2007

    1. Hi.

      i've got this information from German magazine " Chocho" vol.3.
      There were an article about Unoa boys, and a schedule for next exhibition
      in this magazine.

      it would be in Paris in this year,,,
      this is an offcial web site of Japan Expo:

      http://www.eurojapancomic.com/fr/japanexpo.shtml


      I don't know if it has English site,, but it says
      it would be held on 6th to 8 th of July ,2007.
      You can see an address in this web site in English.

      I sent an e-mail to this web,, asking about more info.
       

    2. You mean in Paris ? there is an exhibition in Paris on the 6th to 8th of July in Paris
       
    3. Hello

      Please note that JAPAN EXPO in Paris is a festival on Japan Culture mostly about Manga (comics bookand Anime), vidéo game cosplay. it is not a Doll oriented expo such was Paris Fashion Doll.

      There are some stand about Japan culture

      Last year there were a stand that provide information about the BJD phenomena by people from the French forum "materiel celeste".
      There was a another stand by AMAETA (member of DOA) with clothes (maybe doll) to sell but not that Much
      You could see a lot of doll at Japan Expo but 90% of them are owned by the visitor or the people who sell Fanzine at the Expo

      At the moment there is no information about Some UNOA at the expo ... I hope it will but I think not. I can deny the information but i just want to ask you to be very carefull about this information.

      I know that people from the french forum (also member here DOA) are trying to make a stand for BJDolls such last year and that they had try and invite some Dolls makers. But I have no information that some BJD makers are comming...

      So to be followed ...

      PS : I am not sure that the word stand is the correct word in english I mean display case or something like that ...
