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.

What are your doll plans for 2015?

Dec 24, 2014

    1. Also thinking about having some dolls repainted. Just trying to decide who should so it.
       
    2. Doll plans! I have a few.

      -Finish paying for the Delf Miyu I have on layaway.
      -Get an Impldoll body for my floating Leeke Noella head. The pink skin matches very well.
      -Get Enchanted Doll eyes for all of my girls.
      -Start sewing! I'm a good seamstress, but I've never made clothes for bjds, and I haven't sewed at all in years.
      -Once Noella has a body, she'll need clothes, so I need to save for that! I found what I want, I just have to get it.
      -I WILL TRY VERY HARD NOT TO BUY MORE WIGS. I love wigs, I have too many.
      -Maybe start looking for a Minifee? I want a Mirwen or Celine the most.
      -Give up on my pre-hobby doll plans because I'm clearly not getting dolls in the order I expected!
      -Most importantly, remember that my money actually can go to things other than doll stuff. xD
       
    3. I don't have a lot of doll plans for 2015, at least now^^ my main goals are :

      - Buying a whole lot of clothes for my incomming MSD-sized girl (which I've been waiting for almost four months now, I want her to come hoooooome T____T)
      - Maybe a few more clothes for my beloved SD-sized boy.
      - If I still have some money, buying a Dollzone Ivan and a Doll-chateau Charles head.
      - And I dream to be able to get an artist doll, but I know it's not likely to happen ><
       
    4. My list:



      • No more selling dolls! The exception being if I buy a doll and don’t like it straight away. But no more selling dolls that I used to love (I sold 3 at the start of 2014 and really regret it)
      • Finish Margo (my Minisup Sujin)
      • Get Lor’s face up redone (my Migidoll Jina)
      • Buy a new head for Charlotte (my Supia Roda) because her current head is doing my nut in (it’s really old and yellowed)
      • Buy 1 new SD and 1 new MSD (I have sculpts in mind but I might change my mind yet)
      • Learn how to do more complex prints on doll clothes. Because making my own prints is fun :D
      • Make/buy some doll stands because the doll storage situation is getting a bit precarious now. If one falls over it creates a domino effect. Yes this happened recently. No dolls were hurt but it was SO SCARY.
      Aaand that’s all I can think of for now.
       
    5. Since I have limited doll time at the moment - new job and all that - I'm planning to go a bit slower with buying new dolls. I also have a couple of Real Life purchases planned that will eat up most of the funds that would otherwise have gone towards more dollies.


      So my plans for 2015 are:
      - Make more outfits for the dolls I already have.
      - Find bodies for the story relevant floating heads - this is already in progress so it only half counts.
      - Find male sculpts I like.
      - Research hybriding possibilities for Iplehouse heads, both proportion and resin matches. I love the beefcakes' bodies to bits, but I can't have four SID guys on the same body! One can go on the nYID, but that still leaves two to be hybrided. I'm currently eyeing Granado's bodies.
      - Make everyone's proper wigs, including replacing some of the oldest heat-resistant fiber ones that are starting to look ratty.
      - Long-term project: Body blushing and manicures for everyone! Also maybe re-do some faceups.
      - maybe get (back) into knitting. I found some nice doll-weight variegated yarn and I'd love to be able to knit sweaters ...

      To be continued ;)
       
    6. My plans are:
      Buy a Momo, Beta and/or Pag to Dollzone

      If I can: complete any doll of my family.Now only have two of 19
       
    7. For 2015 . I want a ninon , manon & ombre of Cerisedolls . If she propose it in human skin version. Hope fr a new doll from her with lune body.

    9. I am going to buy Volks yosd megu this Saturday. But I don't know if I will buy other dolls.
       
    10. 1. finish paying off my first doll (peakswoods FOF Rabbit Goon)
      2. get him some eyes
      3. get him some friends (FOF Lady Alice, FOF Leo )
      4. consider getting a bigger scale doll
      5. dont spend too much
       
    11. 1.Buying a DollFamily A Herui.
      2.Finding a better place for my dolls in the house.
      3.Completing my first faceup (meep!)
      4.Getting wigs for two of my guys who have been in "temporary" wigs for two years now.
      5.Attend meetups regularly.
       
    12. I think I failed on the majority of my goals for 2014 *sigh*. But new year, new goals, right? In no particular order....

      *Get Ammiel's head modded and face-up done
      *Buy S-hooks and proper wig for Ammiel
      *Buy wig caps as required for various boys
      *Save up to purchase either Rhas-Khan (Impldoll Ziv) or Eilian (Souldoll Rail). Bonus points earned if I could get both of them this year but not going to hold my breath on that.
      *Sew more clothes for the dolls that actually need them instead of the dolls that already have more clothes than they need *rolls eyes at self*.
      *Take more/better photos of my dolls. Also take a group shot of everyone since the last shot is over 2 years old now and out of date with regards to my collection.
      *Go through and organize all doll clothes/shoes/eyes/wigs/miscl. props and put up the things I don't need/use in the MP. Related to this, invest in a better storage system for all my doll stuff as what I've currently got is over-stuffed and completely unorganized.
       
    13. This years goals are:

      -limit new dolls to three this year. I have so many I need to just focus on getting a few I really love
      -try to limit these new dolls to MNF and Teenie gems since they are my favorites
      -Get bodies for my floating Juri/NF heads
      -Get my Appini and Juri 14 LTF painted
      -Slowly switch to Oscar doll eyes in my dolls (love them!)

      Lets see how I do!
       
    14. I only have a few:
      - get my first doll (hopefully AS Kana sp)
      - amass quite a few clothes that I have on my wishlist for her
      - give her a faceup
      - learn to sew clothes for her
       
    15. I would like to start to learn how to sew because it is expensive to buy clothes for 3 dolls of different sizes. Also, I think I will try to practice how to do faceup... need to study through youtube :XD:
       
    16. Already a little progress here!

      Definite

      * Build up a little more stock of purchased clothing.
      * Do faceups/blushing on Winry, Alphonse, Razzy, and Izi (inclusive of all sizes).
      * Do final cleanup, retouching and blushing for big Jace. -- 1/14 DONE! Technically he still needs a bit of gloss, eyelashes, and restringing, but that's relatively small compared to where he started yesterday
      * Redo Adet to the proper skintone, testing out the Mod Podge sealing technique to preserve the color.
      * Get some Spoonflower "kits" designed and uploaded for sale, and ordered so I can create the tutorials too.
      * Finish the current doll bed with its mattress, bedding and quilt (also do a tutorial for the quilt kit).

      Ongoing/Carryover from last year
      * Continue working on clothing patterns.
      * Continue making actual clothing.
      * Finish up Cetewind's wig (now that the right parts are here).
      * Continue working on Ed's automail mods (both MNF and LTF sizes).
      * Complete (more or less) replacing all eyes and wigs that still need replacing.

      Hopeful
      * Get Instar blushed and work on his wig.
      * Settle on a look for and blush/redo all the Soomlings.
      * Snag a couple of Soom bodies for the catgirls.
      * Bring home three additional dolls (FairyLand, Little Monica, Luts) to "complete" two sets.

      Longshot
      * Get a couple of F60s.
       
    17. Main goal is to buy my first doll! Now that I have a job it is looking more and more like I'll have one soon! :D
       
    18. -obtain at least two, maybe three bodies for some of my floating heads.
      -get down with some face up attempts, body blushing
      -make more clothes; sharpen up my sewing skills

      seems pretty manageable, yeah?
