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. Sorry forgot stuff in previous post.

      Lilykitten you are getting event dragons! I got one a week ago but what is the event they are for? My dealer (that sounds bad! but then they are an addiction) didn't say.

      Cheshire bottoms are fairly ample so the patterns have to be an odd shape (big at the top and tapered legs) and mine ended up with an elasticated waistband so that it would go over the butt and fit his waist.

    2. His Candy Gears hat was actually a present for another doll from a friend... but he pointed out how perfect that hat would look on him, how it sits JUST right between his ears and how he really DOES love bright green and bright purple. I've learned when to stop arguing. Beside the original owner is being reshelled.

      Yeah, I made equal crotch lengths (I am so childish, I always find that term amusing) but I kinda needed to make the back crotch longer. Pattern has been alterned, but I'm moving, so making is a bit tricky right now :( Well that and I have two outfits to design, pattern and make for a masquerade. *huffs* oooh I have so much to do.. I shouldn't think about it.

      Event Dragons were the "summer event" item from Dollzone. You spend over $600 and get one, over $1000 to get two. I'm the Australian Dealer for Dollzone (yes, I too am amused by the term, it's quite awkward to explain when people ask what I do "I'm a Dealer... of dolls. DOLLS) but even i couldn't resist them... I had t make the amount too, but it's worth it, they are sooo ickle!

    3. Thanks everyone!

      Mighella, I love Catwoman, too. LillyKitten, she's like sourpatch kids. She wants to be bad, but she's too sweet on the inside. Demented pea, that is her only outfit. I don't have anything else that suits her. I guess I'm going to have to sew for her.

    4. Lilykitten My dealer seems to be selling these outside of the DZ event and they have only just arrived on the site so maybe DZ have some left after the event was over? How do you ever have any money? as a dealer you must get so enthralledby all the pretty dollies....
      Divadione I really like her outfit she looks so cute 'till you look closely....then you can see that baaaad cat twinklein her eys!

    6. divadionne- Ah- it was a bit of a bad pun on my part that may have missed the mark- "I wanna be evil" was a famous song Ertha Kitt sang. Teach me for being a smarty pants.

      demented pea- Urrm, that's exceptionally against the dealer rules and regs. They weren't giving out extras this year BECAUSE they caught a Dealer selling the event babies after the event. She may have got them with stock ups.... I'm supposed to dob in other dealers doing this, but I won't ask who it is.

      I work for the railways as anual leave relief, I get paid insane amounts for what I do, and bonus pay for just about everything (No serious, the ALR bonus' are insane. I get paid extra just to arrive at work) so I have the money to support the habit. And restraint has to be used in copius amounts. COPIUS. Luckily I've not managed to get Fairyland or Pipos or I would be SUNK.

      acexkeikai- Oh yey! I was hoping someone who got one would come on so we could have a sneaky peak! Got a name yet?

    7. Sorry about that LillyKitten. I could be so thick sometimes. I should have known that. Doh!

       
      #27 divadionne, Sep 12, 2010
    8. Yes I do have a name for him Akumu which means Nightmare in Japanese :) Totally fits hm :)
       
      #28 acexkeikai, Sep 12, 2010
    9. Chester now has pants that fit! I took in the Ken jeans I had by 1/2 inch on both sides and trimmed down and re-hemmed the top to fit him in a better place. They were also trimmed shorter at the bottom, but left a little long so I could cuff the legs :)

    11. Aww! He is gorgeous :D Love his bunny and his pants too <3
       
      #31 mighella, Sep 15, 2010
    12. Thanks mighella :) His pants are actually a pair of Tata's Paradise YoSD pands with the ankles rolled up and worn the wrong way around so that the buttton fly becomes a hole for his tail to stick out of.
      The cute little zombie Moon bun was a suprise birthday gift from my hubby along with a liittle black Ninja bunny.
      Mr Scraachee seems to be quite taken with Zombie bun :kitty2

    13. Yey! Ersa Flora order arrived and Valentine gained some rather lovely metellic blue green cat eyes. I wasn't sure they'd suit, but they work really well. Will photo when he comes out of his moving house box.

      demented pea- I got my companies backwards... Dollzone does allow dealer sales of event items, I was thinking of another company that kicked up a stink recently about it to their agents... So no naughty Dealer antics after all!!

      divadionne- No, I was being typically obscure, my apologies.

      acexkeikai- That's a fabulous name for him, very fitting! Please post box opening links when he arrives!

      mighella- Yey! He has pants! Does he like having pants? And that is an adorable picture- Little does that poor girl playing with him know...

      JenKat- He finally arrived! tarrah! As you probably assumed I simply couldn't get to Animania this year due to work and the recent acquisition of a new house (and subsequent short time to move in) But it's great to see him!
       
      #33 LillyKitten, Sep 15, 2010
    14. Hey Lillykitten :) Glad to see Valentine arrived safe and sound too... look forward to seeing him in his lovely shiny new eyes :kitty1 Glad to hear you now have a new home... wouldn't have seen you at Animania anyway this year as I've been stuck at home with flu + Laryngitis the past few days, along with the rest of the family too. Been busy powering through the household stash of ibuproven and herbal teas.

    15. Jenkat I love your star cheshire. He is so cute. mighellathe pants look good. I want a yo sized boy cat now. I might have to try and see if i can modify some clothing for my girl.

      Also, does anyone know where I can find little bells? I would love for my cat bjds to have bells. So far only my Puki has one.
       
      #35 divadionne, Sep 15, 2010
    16. I found some bells at Hobby Lobby in the xmas holiday section. They had a bunch of different sizes too :) I'm going to be making Chester a kitty collar soon.
       
      #36 mighella, Sep 15, 2010
    17. Thanks divadionne :)
      With regards to the bellls, which size and style are you after?
      If its the tiny little 1/5 inch ones in either gold or silver like these... [​IMG]I've found them in many of the bigger craft supply stores over here so I'd suggest it should also be the same in the US.
      However, if you're after more specialy designs - for example I've had coloured ones and ones with cute little cut-out star-shaped holes in them I'd try teddy bear supply stores. I used to make mini bears a while back and found some really cute little bells from suppliers over time. Even just looking on ebay, here's a US suppplier offering little coloured bells - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Tiny-6mm-Jin...5466?pt=Sewing_Trims&var=&hash=item641e418c3f
      and look at the range this seller has available - http://stores.ebay.com.au/The-Mystical-Garden-Path__W0QQ_sidZ4439501?_nkw=bells
       
      #37 JenKat, Sep 15, 2010
    18. Thanks. I have only checked the michaels by my job, and they don't have any that was small enough. There is a hobby lobby near me. I will also look at the online places.
       
      #38 divadionne, Sep 15, 2010
    19. Jen Kat- I have one shoddy phone camera shot, but I need to do lots of photoshop cleaning to make it presentable.
      Aw, man that sucks! Well, cross fingers for SMASH! and Animania next year!!

      divadionne- Valentine has one on a flurecent green bow, it's quite a bit larger than scale though, but I have heaps of the little buggers in lots of sizes. I got them for a PukiFee warning system, and you can't just buy one. (they wear bells so my other dolls can hear them coming) what scale do you want them? I could probably shoot you one off, i can't imagine a tiny bell will be deadly postage.
       
      #39 LillyKitten, Sep 16, 2010
    20. Wow that is so generous of you, LillyKitten!! I am not sure of size. I have an MSD cat girl; so if it ends up being too big for Eartha (or her possibly incoming Demon cat brother), my MSD cat girl will be able to wear it.
