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. Do you think you'd be able to perform that special ceremony (I forgot the name :oops: ) that you can at the Japanese stores? That would be really nice.

    2. Wow. Kind of torn here ;)

      I am pretty sure that I won't have the money to go buying a doll on opening day, so that's out. I'm not worried about that, though, as I just took care of Sai, so it's not like I don't have doll goodness to look forward to!

      Plus, I kind of promised myself that it would be something I would try to do when I go to Japan in 2007 (*crossing fingers and toes*) for WorldCon. I wanted to go through the whole nine yards of going to Tenshi no Sato and picking everything out myself.

      (I'm a sentimentality nut, what can I say!)

      But if all the same things are available at the new store as they are in Japan (including the doll ceremony), it would be very tempting not to wait. *LOL*

      We shall have to see. I've realized that I keep thinking strictly in terms of the SD13 and similiar sizes, and I keep forgetting I can get smaller!

    3. You mean the Omukae (spelling?) ceremony? I'm not sure, but that might be a Tenshi no Sato thing only. It would be wonderful if they offered it in LA though! :grin: Just reading Aimee's article about it in Haute Doll made me want to cry. :chibi It was just so darn sweet! :D

    4. It's actually something offered at all Sumikas in Japan. ^_^

    5. I don't think they will, I think the only place that'll ever have exclusive heads is Tenshi no Sato.

    6. Aww that kinda sucks, I'm coming out to LA for a week in August :o I wish I would've know earlier I would've tried to schedule my vacation around that time. Oh well, I'll just have to come back out there next year(used up all of my vacation time this year :( )
       
      #46 DollfieKaede, Jul 27, 2005
    7. Really? :o Fantastic!! :chibi I hope they have it here too!! :D
       
      #47 Cammy, Jul 27, 2005
    8. Well getting FCS in the states was a long shot and that came through, so why not exclusives? Sato is the main/biggest Japanese location right? The Sumika in LA is the ONLY US location, so to me it would make sense to have a few exclusives in our FCS list. But for now, I'll just keep hoping. lol
       
      #48 Sakhmet, Jul 28, 2005
    9. So like; when you say FCS do you mean that they will have the MSD FCS as well? and like.. Are the F11-F13 Sato? (aka the ones that you can get the nifty optional ears)
       
      #49 LoveVampire, Jul 28, 2005
    10. I would assume they'll also have the MSD FCS which definitely isn't a Sato-only thing or anything of that sort :chibi Hopefully we'll all know for sure soon! And no, the F-11-F-13 are not Sato only.

    11. Wowie! I've decided that i'm definately going to get an FCS one day for Azrael's boyfriend. F-16. Snow skin. .... ceremony included. But I won't be able to go for a while.

      We all want TONS of pictures for you all going to the opening!

    12. There is only one Tenshi no Sato. Going there is a special experience, and along with that is comes the rare oppertunity to order special heads and other features via fcs. You even get a special box. These things are not available anywhere else in Japan, or in the tenshi no sumika location in Korea. I would hope for more things to be added to all sumika locations and be thankful to have any fcs coming to the US ^^;
       
      #52 roux, Jul 28, 2005
    13. oooh coolies. thankies. So along with the ears, they arent sato either? (I'm slightly confused about the whole sato thingy.) and yes. hopefully we will know for soon. because I need to make a whole vacation plan in oct to go down to LA with my dad v.v
       
      #53 LoveVampire, Jul 28, 2005
    14. I don't believe any of the ears are Sato-only; that'd be sort of silly XD; "Only Sato dolls get kitty ears!" You can find out more MSD FCS info on Shan's extremely helpful MSD FCS page if you have any more questions :daisy
       
      #54 shinibun, Jul 28, 2005
    15. the only things that are sato-exclusive are Sunlight skin and certain heads, while we do need to update the fcs page, all the information is there (including which heads are sato exclusives) http://denofangels.com/sdboys.html ^_^ Shan's page is going to have much more comparison shots, and I highly recommend hers
       
      #55 aimee, Jul 28, 2005
    16. Is that pretty FCS milk-toned beauty white tone also a Sato-exclusive? I can't remember...though I sometimes call it "Sato Snow" so it'd probably be good for me to find out, lol.
       
      #56 gothiclibrarian, Jul 28, 2005
    17. No, beauty white is available in all FCS not just Sato. :)
       
      #57 zalem, Jul 28, 2005
    18. Thanks, Rin :D I wasn't sure if it was slightly different or what.
       
      #58 gothiclibrarian, Jul 28, 2005
    19. Aren't the yuni styled msd bodies sato only too? Or did I get that wrong?
       
      #59 roux, Jul 28, 2005
    20. oh yeah I forgot about that. yes, the sitting body is sato exclusive. (it's listed on the fcs page as exclusive)
