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. @Aiko-chan Cosette looks so lovely in her light pink wig! Congratulations and I'm glad she's finally made it to you! We all had such a long wait but the reward was so good :love

      Did anyone get a Charlotte from VolksUSA? I'm not sure I saw anyone say theirs shipped but I can't wait to see some of her too :fangirl:

    3. I looove seeing everyone's Lieselotte. She looks really adorable in blonde and pink as well :love.

      She's not from VolksUSA but here's a portrait of mine I took last month:
      [​IMG]
      I really need to take her somewhere nice for pictures eventually. Something other than just a plain white wall :sweat.

      And I was inspired by everyone's lovely Lieselotte so I took a new portrait of her as well :).

    4. @Stokiaci, @nyaaain, @Aiko-chan, @laquaza, congrats on your Lieselottes!!! She’s so pretty and has a really gorgeous faceup this time!

      Re: shipwrecked Williams, I agree with @eleniel… he’d burn, not tan! ;) But I do hope we see Reisner this December (since spring seems likely to be Frozen girls)… or maybe Reisner will swim up on the abandoned island in spring and save winter for the frozen girls? (Just gonna pretend MSD and YoSD don’t exist)

      The one-offs for the last Tokyo Bay cruise were all pirates… if Volks did a whole pirate themed Dolpa where all the outfits and the dolls were pirates, I think that would be popular! :apirate: Then again, I’d also be up for an all-vampire Dolpa with lots of fanged-version rereleases. Really lean in to the nostalgia.

    5. @laquaza Your girls are so pretty! I love your Charlotte’s innocent and sweet look, and your Lieselotte looks so good with those eyes!

      Thank you @nyaaain and @snowgray ! I’m still coming to terms with her actually and finally being home. The wait was totally worth it!

    7. Does anyone have access to the owner limited items on VolksUSA yet? I tried the link but the section is still empty. It's going to take me forever to decide which extra hands to get for her and I've already been thinking about it for months.

      @Erleuchtung Oh my gosh does she look cute in twintails :love

      Thank you @snowgray! Maybe they'll continue this spring preorder thing with more big rereleases. I can't imagine the big Frozen girls will be preorder though. As much as Disney wants money, I can't see them agreeing to that. Hopefully they'll read this thread and start working on a shipwrecked set (complete with sunburned Williams) for next year :lol:

      @laquaza Your girls are so sweet and your Charlotte's little buns are too cute! I hope to see more of her! Somehow it feels really hard to not own both Lieselotte and Charlotte and I think you're lucky to have both :)

    8. Hi everyone! I'm wondering if there are two version of DWC03 head. The two images are from secondhand markets. One has -03 at the end while the other has -3 only. Are both of them legit?
      [​IMG] [​IMG]
       
    9. Thanks :).
      Actually it took me a while to fall for Lieselotte. I didn't preorder her because I liked Charlotte and Lucia more even though I liked Lieselotte's fullset the most. But sometime in summer I saw reason and fell for Liselotte's charms ;). So I got an older release secondhand.
       
    10. @nyaaain, maybe you need to sign in to your account after you've clicked on the link to see the hand choices?
       
    11. I’m having the same problem. I log in to see options but nothing shows up. Maybe emailing VolksUSA will fix the issue?
       
    12. Both Lieselotte and Lucia come up for me. I'm already logged into my account in the browser I am using, then I click the link in the email from Volks and I can see them. If they aren't coming up properly, Volks must not have you in the right owner group. Just contact them and they should sort it out for you. :)

    13. @beamlette I should have noted I was already signed in! Oops! That doesn't appear to be the issue though.

      @Aiko-chan Good to know I'm not alone! I sent an email!

      @InvisibleWings I don't see any user groups on my account. It could have something to do with my account email being different than the paypal email I used to buy her. It's good to know it's an error and not something I just needed to wait a bit longer for.

    14. I bought my first SD sized doll! She's a Liz from 2005. I have a few questions, if you'll allow them.

      Her headplate came off during shipping, presumably due to the cold temperatures making the glue fail. What kind of glue can I use to reattach it? I unfortunately don't have a hot glue gun...

      Kind of similar but her headcap is attached with a rubber band! I was hoping to put magnets in her head instead. Has anyone done this before? If so, how did you secure the magnets?

      Here's a picture of her as part of the dolly tax. :D

    15. Hey everyone! Does anyone know the differences between the old sdgr body and the new sdgr body? Thank you so much
       
    16. I don't have a DWC 3 myself, so I'm no help there... I've sent a message off to a friend who has an older one to see what hers looks like, though.

      Mino's is from 2015 or 2016, I think? No clue if her head plate will be the same as a more recent one.
       
    17. If you can't see owner limited items you should contact VolksUSA asap. The items require specific permissions to be viewed and they've forgotten to assign them to accounts, at least they did for mine. Contact them to have them check the permissions on your accounts!
       
    18. Thank you @Allegra ! I’ve sent an email so I’ll just have to wait and see. Hopefully I’ll be able to give them more money for limited stuff soon. :lol:

      Congrats on your lovely Liz, @SaltedPretzel ! For the headplate, hot glue or epoxy will work to attach it. I haven’t used any other kid of glues for it so I don’t know if any other kinds work. If you don’t have either at home, I will say that it’s helpful to have epoxy just in case resin parts break sometime down the road. Very helpful stuff.

      As for the headcap magnets, I think there are some people in the Customizers Workshop sub forum that have done it before. I’d say drilling out an area on the cap as well as in the base and then using epoxy to attach a magnet in each spot would work. Just be sure the magnet directions are correct before you glue them in and make sure it’s fully dry before putting the two head parts together.
      If she has a very spacious and thin head (not sure how thin the resin was back then) you may have to build up the area with sculpting resin/miliput/whatever sculpting stuff you want to use. Then put the magnets in those parts. I haven’t done additive modifications for dolls before so someone else may be more helpful than me. :sweat
       
    19. Thanks for the advice! I have some epoxy at home so I'll give it a try. Right now, the headplate is attached with eye putty.
