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.

Vings Doll Discussion

Oct 13, 2018

    1. Vings has opened a new preorder, from now to 8th July.

      Their Taobao store is updated and everything looks live. No news posted on their IG account yet, and I haven't checked on their previous dealers like Stacy. Update: New Clover-Singing has listed only the 68plus body for sale.

      Heads available are Reiki, Seira :aheartbea, and two anime-type heads, AN-01 and AN-07.

      Bodies available are 68cm ver.1, 68PLUS (a wider shoulder version of 68cm ver.1 and ver.2), and 70cm.

      68cm ver.2 is not currently available, but will be open for preorder later in the year.

      ~~

      Mhhh. I'm not so sure about the 68PLUS body. I adore the slim figure of 68cm ver.2, and I think the wider shoulders are just a bit too wide for me. I'll have to do some careful comparisons and mull over this for a few days.

      I think I'll still buy Seira in this preorder. He's turned into grail levels of important to me. Vings seems unlikely to discontinue him, but having narrowly missed the previous preorder, I'm incredibly anxious to not leave things to chance again. I might be more prepared to wait for the 68cm ver.2 body if I can at least secure Seira's head.

      Update (17 June):
      I bought Seira's head direct off Taobao. The purchase appeared on my financial statement, and Vings confirmed the order. I got my grail doll - I am SO relieved. :cheer
      Vings estimated shipping in October - so 4 months production time.

      I'm going to wait for the 68ver2 body. In the meantime I might be able to find it secondhand - I'm sure people will be upgrading to 68plus and selling older bodies on Xianyu and elsewhere.

    4. I took some photos next to a measuring tape and on my Dollstown 18 body (not 17, I only have 18). I honestly thought the hands would be too small on Dollstown 18, but it works much better than I expected! Even the default wrist hooks are compatible with the Vings hands.

      I hope that helps, and feel free to let me know if you'd like any other info!

    5. WOW! Thank you so much, it is super helpful!:D:chibi Does you hands in white^^? Color vary from photo to photo, but hands looks white/pale to me! Based on the color pallet there isn't white that is close the dollshe/dt pale :sweat
       
    6. The hands I have are in Illusion Garden Lace White! It's a pink-tone white!

    7. thank you so much!!
       
    8. OMG the face and hair are PERFECT!!:aeyepop: where did you get these? Did you style the hair yourself? (I'm terrible at hair - first time I tried trimming the mesh I cut a chunk off!!):atremblin
       
    9. @Grace000

      Thank you! I purchased the wig second hand and it was pre-styled. The wig maker's name is totally escaping me just this second, but if it pops into my head I'll come back and say it. They make gorgeous styled wigs. :chocoheart

      I have cut and styled a wig for Victor too, but that one is on my more realistic version Victor. Hehe
       
    10. Hello! Who here is getting the 68cm ver.2 body now that it's back again? I've been waiting for a rerelease so I'm definitely grabbing it this time! :D I'll be getting it in DFH tan to shell a character of mine!
       
    11. I am. I ordered it about a week ago - for Vings Seira, whose head I got in the last preorder in June. I wanted to buy Seira as a whole doll, but 68cm ver.2 wasn't available in June and I was very anxious to get his sculpt (in fact I narrowly missed buying this doll in the Nov 2022 preorder which caused me a lot of angst), so I got his head first and now I'm getting his body. Also getting jointed hands and heeled feet.

      Here's hoping that this preorder will be as speedy as the June one, and I can complete Seira soon. :3nodding:

      I also understand this is the last preorder where Vings will be offering their current very large range of resin matching. Next preorder will have a more limited range, I don't think Vings has said what colours will be available.

    12. My 68 plus body came in a few days ago. The body is heftier then my 68 v2. Also one thing I noticed, but don't ever remember being mentioned was that the feet for the plus body were also changed. They're wider then the ones for the v2 body. Probably to help balance out that extra weight from the wider chest.

      Unfortunately, my Har will be keeping his v2 body. I wasn't pleased with how his head fit on the slightly bigger neck. Now, to just see who'll take it instead.

    13. I'm waiting for the customs to release my 68 plus body. Can't wait to check it out! I have two heads that I plan to use with the body - I wonder if any of them will fit ;) I regretted not being able to use my 68 v2 body due to huge color mismatch. I hope the new body will stay with either of the heads :) I love Vings bodies and I could have an entire collection of them <3
       
    14. Seira arrived. Since no one seems to have this boy (I can find neither hide nor hair of him on DoA, Instagram, or Weibo), I thought I'd share pics of the blank sculpt:

      [​IMG]

      I haven't measured Seira's head yet, but it's small enough to fit a roomy 7-8" wig (this is a Switch wig). Left pic is him in 14/5mm eyes, right in 17/7mm eyes. I'm quite amazed he looks good in both iris sizes, they give him different moods.

      [​IMG]

      So glad I finally have Seira - I've been wanting him since I first laid eyes on him almost a year ago. Can't wait to paint his faceup, and then get his body and complete the doll.

    15. @Lady Ravenswood He's in Switch milktea rose, and it is a lovely colour. My first tan doll :3nodding:
      Oh, I think I've seen your Seira before - I love the concept you have for him. Thank you for sharing him! (Do you have more pictures of him? ^^;; )

    16. I painted Gael Seraph's (Seira's) faceup a few days ago. This sculpt is so wonderful, I'm very glad I got him and can't believe he's not more well known!

      Wearing 14/5mm eyes from Soul in a Box, and a 7-8" wig from Switch. Yes, his head is small enough to fit into a stretchy 7-8".
      He's borrowing another doll's body for these pictures. I can't wait for his own body to be finished...

    17. I think enough time has passed for a double post!... (Uh, make that 4 posts in a row... o_o;;; )

      I'm having a wonderful time with Gael - he's rapidly become one of my most-photographed dolls. So beautiful, and Vings68v.2 poses splendidly in flat feet and in heels. I'm so glad I have him.

    18. Gael is wonderful! A t least I can break your double post string! I do have a Vings body. I bought it for a floating head. I wasn’t sure I like the skin match but I need to put the head on the body and see how it looks.
