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. ok so hit me over the head with this again...

      If I want to get a body to match the new (to me) SD Megu head that I just got I should get it now because the new ones wont match?

      and if I wanted a sleeping head (the old f-05) so my Megu could nap every once in a while I should order it NOW !!??

      Thanks

      Lolly having very dense moment.....

    2. You might be able to get away with a new pureskin body with the old skin head. I've seen several people do so and it doesn't look bad at all. I sold off my SD Michael's body so I could get him the new pureskin one. It might not match *exactly* but it's close enough and that's good enough for me.

    3. *head meets desk*
      Nooooooooooo T_T


      HOW CNA THEY DISCONTINUE MEGU?

      I was planning on Megu as my second doll. ><

    4. Meg or Meg13? Because SD Meg is still going to be offered (in pureskin). It's SD13 Meg that's discontinued...though you can still get her with the new SD13 body (see my post about that above). I have a feeling they might release her in pureskin at some later date though...

    5. Thanks Zalem for clarifying that. I'll go ahead and put my order in for her before October. I'm sure in the far future I'm going to get an FCS SD13 so if I like the pure skin body better I could always buy a new body for her.

      *looks at bank account, hoping that extra $100 will appear out of nowhere* :lol:

    6. No more Myu?! :o Oh no! I'm going to have to hurry and order her then! Augh, not much time left to do it, either! I don't know if I'll have all the money in time.... :cry:

    7. so, wait...

      does this mean MSD mika will become a regular run doll? not that i mind, but i thought her current re-release was a limited time thing? gah now i'm confused...

      i'm SO curious about the new minis though! i am a huuuuuuge MSD fan, one of very few it seems, and if they come out with a cute boy in pureskin, my little Lilac is going to get a boyfriend!!!!

      also, i really wonder what the new standards / 13s will look like... i will prolly get beat up for this, but, i just am NOT fond of ANY of the bigger doll's heads. some of the optional heads, like F-08 and such, i think are lovely, but the regular ones just don't appeal to me. if i like any of the new head molds, i might end up with one of them :D

    8. I'm rather hoping that they update the MSD bodies with the newer sitting body. Or develop something in the MSD line that isn't so annoying to pose and sit.

    9. I'm pretty sure that this is all just part of the big changeover from the old type of resin and bodies to the new type.. I bet Volks will start releasing more regularly available dolls again, or at least I really hope they do. Who knows which ones though! I wish they were more clear with this announcement, just so it didn't sound so shocking!

      I am looking forward to seeing the new dolls though, it is always nice to see new dolls that aren't just limited. Thanks for the details :daisy

    10. The new non-sitting MSD bodies pose pretty well. They sit up straight and everything!

    11. No more optional parts :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

      And no mention of their availability in pure skin :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

    12. Holy poop! *lol* That said, I still wouldn't swap my floppy, fall-over girl for anything :)
       
      #52 Hush, Sep 22, 2004
    13. So does that mean I'll be able to order my SD13 Nana until 23rd october? So let's say I'll have the money for her around 20th, will I still be able to get her? Oh I feel so heartbroken right now. I just didn't think that the 4 sisters ever would be discontinued :crushed

    14. At this point in time, I'm not sure Volks (or the deputy shoppers) can guarantee anything.

      Volks notes that they will have more details of the Standard Fair (and hopefully the changeover from old resin to PureSkin) on October 9th.

      The text seems to suggest that the discontinued items are now limited to whatever the various showrooms and Tenshi no Sumika have in stock, but they don't give a date for when they will stop making those parts.

      My (unfounded) belief is that Volks will probably re-release many of our favorites in PureSkin. Since the Four Sisters are still available in PureSkin SD form, I would think that they'd show up as PureSkin SD13 as well... but they'd probably wait until the next Dolpa to do something like that.

    15. Thanks so much twotone. I'm feeling a little better now. What is the difference between the Standard resin which is used on the current dolls and the Pureskin? Is it a better Feel or a different Look (like the beautywhite skin?) And when will the next Dolpa be?
       
      #55 Lillyblue, Sep 22, 2004
    16. The pureskin is more translucent, and more matte than the old resin. It also feels very nice, a bit like coated old resin. I like it very much, and I don't know of anyone who has seen and felt both, and prefers the old resin. ^_^ Which is not to say I like my old resin boy any less...I just think the pureskin is an improvement!
       
      #56 shan, Sep 22, 2004
    17. That doesn't sound bad, Shan! I think I'm looking forward to the changes now BUT hopefully they re-introduce the 4 SD13 sisters with pureskin otherwise I'll be very sad as I want a Nana13 so badly but have no funds to buy her and this won't change for a couple of months I'm afraid, so fingers and toes are crossed that Volks will continue most of the old molds.

    18. I'd love to wait and find out if Megu 13 will be released in pure skin, as I'd rather have her with a pure skin body. But I'm not going to risk it. My mom gets paid on Oct. 1st and I'm going to borrow the last bit of money I need and I'll put my order in for Megu 13 then. I just don't want to wait and then find out I missed my chance. Megu 13 was the doll that made me fall in love with dollfies.

    20. That's good news for you Kittybongo! You are right with ordering her now before it is too late. The problem is that we all can only assume but don't know for sure that these girls will come out in pureskin. If they don't, well I guess I'll lament for a while (and most likely cry too...:sigh ) I hope you'll post lots of pictures of your beauty when she arrives!
