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.

    2. My girl arrived unexpectedly today too! I'll get a proper box opening thread and stuff up later.

      (Obv not the wig she came with, but it's cute and I'm keeping it.)

    3. @monkeypizzasonic How well do the outfits go on? Heard the pants give some difficulty.
       
    4. Pants are confirmed annoying as heck.

      I sort of managed it, but she couldn't really sit in them so I ended up taking them off. Luckily, I have other white pants on hand if I really want that look, but I'm leaning more towards getting another skirt and/or shorts instead to go with the stockings. The "bra"/top thing was a bit tricky to fasten as well.

    5. This just in: apparently holding a Dollfie Icon Clover head up to the light without a headcap on turns her into Madame Leota from the Haunted Mansion.

    6. Haha, I hear you! It took quite a bit of delicate tugging to get them on right. Then it was still a struggle to button once I got them up as high as they could go. It reminded me of trying to squeeze myself into skinny jeans a couple of sizes too small! >_<

      I'm glad to see that so many arrived safe and sound in time for the weekend. :-)

    7. And she's assembled!
      Her panties came apart putting them on - stitching was pretty bad. I bought the ICON lingerie set before the doll arrived so i had a matching backup thankfully. Everything else is wonderful.

    8. Everyone's girls are so gorgeous!

      For the pants the best way I've found is squeezing the thighs and just kind of inching them but yeah, it's rough and sitting is a chore. Trista was in the skirt a lot until I got her a dress. XD;

      Look at her waist. I wish mine is the same :drool

    10. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but is her bust not pushed down fully? Her waist section looks a bit longer than others I've seen?
       
    11. LOL really, I received her like that so I just left as it is. Maybe you're right. Lemme try doing it :blush
       
    12. So I was looking at the Japanese lottery and it looks like they offer the romantic version of all but Mint/Clover. Weird the US one didn't have romantic Lilac/Iris
       
    13. Has anyone tried any other eye sizes on their ICON?
       
    14. I won the Lilac/Iris in the Japanese lottery!

    16. Lost again! Argh. Well, maybe next year. Hopefully Icons become a yearly thing.
       
    17. I got some new eyes for different dolls that I just gave a try, but I haven't taken any photos yet. I was just curious for future ordering.

      The doll comes with 18mm eyes and my quick, sloppy measurements show the iris around 8-9mm. I tried a pair of 20mm, 16mm, and 14mm. The 16mm with 8mm irises fit fine and looked similar to the eyes she came with. The 14mm can work in a pinch if you don't turn them at all, but the smaller irises weren't as appealing. The 20mm might work, but mine were a little domed and didn't fit that well. The irises were also noticeably larger and took up most of the visible part of the eye.

      Long story short: I think you could use 18mm or 16mm, but I wouldn't recommend other sizes.

    18. Anyone have advice on how to take the eyes out/remove the glue without hurting the faceup? I'm a bit paranoid about doing it.
       
    19. Agreed with above. Especially the eyelashes.
