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. ruskyles, your Christmas photo is stunning! Congrats on your Mako!
      moonglo, can't wait to see your new girl!
      My Midi Reisner arrived a few days before Christmas! He's gorgeous, but I haven't had much opportunity to take photos of him. Took a quick shot tonight, but I hope to have some time to spend with him next week after all this Holiday hoopla slows down!

    3. Artemos- Congrats on your F-35! I love this sculpt and I can't wait to see more pics.
      solitary agent- Your little dudes are adorable. I would love to see more photos of Ryotaro. I don't see many at all.

      I love all the photos here, so I thought I would share my Midi Minoru. He's borrowing a MSD body at the moment.

    4. He came! I think his name is Leander, but we'll see if it sticks :)

    6. Mayonaka, congratulations on receiving your Dai! He's precious! :XD:


      Okay, so I have a possibly dumb question...
      I noticed Volks mentioned that if you order Komame's Lil Custom Lessons Vol. 5, you can preorder optional SDMidi hands. Does that mean that the order form is inside the book or something? I've never ordered any of the Custom Lessons books so I'm not sure how it works. Is anyone planning on ordering the optional hands or know what they look like? I may end up ordering the book either way because it looks like it's got some great stuff in it. :)
       
    7. i got the book, the japanese form is in there i believe, but they should email you how to get them.. and you only have until january 31st to order! x_x I've been wanting to order them, but with having to pay tax and shipping, they added up pretty quick and i'm broe :<.. i may still get some fist hands or something
       
    8. wally, thanks for the compliment! Hm, I'll have to find this "something". Maybe it's the eyes that give him a life-like appearance. But overall, Minoru is a very realistic sculpt. For Volks at least.

       
    9. baby~mermaid, when I purchased the Komame's Lil Custom Lessons 5 from Volks USA, they sent me an e-mail with the link to the page on their website for ordering the hands, which is how I ordered mine. And as reitaism mentioned, the hands order period ends Jan. 31. Volks USA still lists the Lessons 5 "in stock"... ;)

      There's some fun hands, like the "jazz" hands and the "peace" hands, which are exclusive to this special order, as well as FCS hands.
       
    10. Thanks so much, reitaism and beamlette for your insightful answers! Sounds like I better order that book today if I want to order any extra hands!
       
    11. Mayonaka, Dai looks so cute! (Hope he doesn't get mad at me for saying he's cute :sweat)

      For those still on the fence about the special Midi/MSD hands, here's a quick'n'dirty (cell phone pic) demonstration of the "jazz" and "peace" hands by Toshio/Ryotaro and Tabitha/Yuni --

    12. So are the midi hands you can order in the book the same as MSD hands? And are girl midi and boy midi hands the same? So much new information... @w@
       
    13. @Lolita, they can be used for both Midi and MSD. Some of them seem more proportioned for the girls, but they'll fit on the boys. The fun gestures are worth it -- just ask my Ryotaro and Yuni :lol:
       
    14. Oh, so the hand sculpts are the same as for MSD? I didn't know, thank you [MENTION=12518]beamlette[/MENTION]!
       
    15. Sorry for the double post, I had another question about the book... >_<; Does anyone know how much each pair of option hands costs? And how many total there are available? Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to buy the book and find I didn't really want/need the hands after all.
       
    16. @Lolita, the hands are $31.00 per pair. Plus with purchase of the book, you got the mini-sized Komame, as well as some patterns and styling hints. The 31st is the cut-off date to order the hands, though, and I don't know if you were to purchase a book today, whether you'd be given the link in time to place the hand order :(
       
    17. Well I got back from my trip to Tokyo a few days ago, and I did indeed buy Mako! She's unnamed right now, but I'm playing around with the name Hinata. If you have some suggestions for a nice Japanese girls name, I'd love to hear them! :)

      Here she is!
