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.

Whale Tower Abyssia

Dec 28, 2021

    1. I’ve seen articulated octopus bjd before, but not one like this. One of the other big Chinese companies put out a bigger boy with an octopus body, but Abyssia was first!

      I’m excited for our girls/theys/boys! (Haven’t decided if I’m modding the chest or not.)
       
    2. Hello there! Abyssia has already started shipping to people that bought her directly from Whale Tower! I’ve asked my dealer about when mine will ship. I’ll let you know what she says, but it sounds like it’s time to start looking for unboxing videos!

    3. Exciting! Someone sent photos of the head in a discord server I'm in, so I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

    4. New Cloversinging just received mine. :) She’s shipping out this week!
       
    5. I'm very happy for you! Keep me posted about her, I'd love to see what you do with her.

    6. It’s Friday here and she’s on her way to a regional sorting post office. Since I had her posted to my work office, she probably will end up arriving at the library (where I work) on Monday. That’s probably Sunday for you!

      By the way, I’m u4bik on Instagram. If you’re on Instagram (or even tumblr) let me know. I hope your Abyssia comes home to you soon!
       
    7. Exciting! This prompted me to email BJDivas again requesting an update
       
    8. I just got the box! Now to manufacture an excuse to go home from work! :)
       
    9. Ohh, you gotta post pics, unboxing, the whole shebang
       
    10. I did post pictures and the unboxing on my Instagram. :) I posted to stories, but made a highlight on my profile page so you won’t miss anything! @u4bik on IG. :)
       
    11. Gotcha, thank you!

    12. I’ve been trying clothes on her:
      • Slim MSD (minifee): too big but will slide over her back tentacle.
      • Fashion MSD like Iplehouse FID: a bit better but her back tentacle is in the way.
      • MonsterHigh: Too small, nope!
      • Rainbow High: almost worked, but too small.
      • Raouken MSD corset: No, but interesting potential.
      • Barbie: Hooded tops work! Her back tentacle slips through the hole in the back.
      I think swimsuit tops or backless tops could work well. I’m in the middle of handweaving a beaded bikini top for her.

      I hope other Abyssia owners find this thread so we can see more clothing options. :)
       
    13. Thank you for the info! I'll be on the lookout for open backed barbie stuff then

    14. I missed out on the pre-order for her, but BJDivas kindly worked with me to get one of the extra ones directly from Whale Tower! She's on layaway, so it'll be a while before she comes home, but I am very excited for her.

      Thank you for sharing all the info/unboxing pics & video, @xylene!

      I hope this image works. Here’s my Abyssia body with the beaded top I’ve been working on.

      And I’m always happy to help! If you want pics of her in any of the clothes I mentioned, please let me know!
