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. I've been a little demotivated lately regarding my lovely dolls. I hope to set some goals this year and actually reach them. The list is not as extensive as most here but it's a start.

      ♥ Review the current collection and perhaps sell the ones I'm not bonding with.
      ♥ Sell other random stuff to gather funds for a new doll.
      ♥ Find out which size doll I have the biggest connection with.

      Once I found out which dolls are staying and which ones are going I'll be able to set more goals for myself...
       
    2. I've JUST gotten into the hobby (rather than observing from afar), so this year I aim to finish my first doll, then start and finish a second, I'd also LOVE to place an order for my very first full doll (first and second are/will be mirodoll/little rebel hybrids) but that will probably be a little harder ^^
       
    3. Bless your sweet little heart....welcome to the never ending story!
       
    4. Update 3/28 - Leo home, new doll is basic & not CH so pass, but not the clothing... added to list lol got my 'album' up to date now I need pictures for in it! ^^ And unexpectedly I just did my first photo story. Not planned but wanted a proper one for 2 years already!
      Buy as little as possible during IH's Carved Heritage 2 series

      0. Buy as little as possible during IH's Carved Heritage 2 series - 1st doll, pass! ^^ but a new JIDb released in basic will come home some day soon I think. but still a pass for now ;p
      1. DECIDE what my twins/triplets will be shelled in! Not sure anymore of my original plans size OR company wise anymore O_o. looking like IH KID's unless a better 'looking' doll company shows up but the size needs to be in that range.

      Short cuts to Iple clothing collections
      Lovely Valentine Collection ; '15 Spring Collection ;
       
    5. Well considering that I just got into the hobby this year, I'm hoping to have at least 2-3 by the end of it ^ ^
      I've already been waiting for a Fairyland MNF that should be coming in April, and then I recently put an Iplehouse nYID on layaway.
      (I should have that one by maybe late April or early May) The last doll that I have in mind for this year is either an IOS or Feeple 65 to serve as another original character of mine ^ ^
       
    6. My plans aren't too grandiose but certainly acheivable in the next 6 months.

      1. Start saving for a new Iplehouse EID! (My husband took my Tedros for company in his new office.)

      2. Shoes for Kaye Wiggs Rallie. Super hard to find tiny ones.

      3. Outfits (make patterns for) future "sprocket" doll now on order.

      4. Outfits/patterns for Iplehouse B.I.D.

      5. Figure out how to re string a doll. My MSD needs help.

      6. Year end goal is to learn faceups. I keep buying finished heads so I don't have to deal with it.

      7. Spring clean my dolls closet(s). Way too many clothes, shoes, wigs, that they don't wear.
       
    7. Dolly Plans for 2015:
      1. Find a Yo-SD I truly want ♥♥♥
      I have been planning to get one for a long time, but somehow just couldn't make the move...
      Probably will buy a Yo-Tenshi Mamu off the second hand market this year : )
      2. Attend Volks Doll party @ LA!!! I hope I could make it there in time!!!
       
    8. Finishing my Hybrid doll Midnight, is my main goal, and I know I will complete her within the next few months.
      After that my goal is to get her boyfriend Travis, ready, but I'm not sure money-wise that I'll be able to do so before 2016 :) Time will show!
       
    9. Plans :

      Main :
      1. Get my first DD (winning the event on volks)
      2. to find a good place to buy DD clothes!

      Subs:
      1. buy a DD head and make my first face-up
      2. to find a head to make Genesis (FF7)
      3. to make a Genesis BJD
      4. to have at least 2 dolls by the end of 2015
       
    10. Why hello there, Soom LG Free Choice Event...

      Definite
      * Build up a little more stock of purchased clothing.
      * Do faceups/blushing on Winry, Alphonse, Razzy, and Izi (inclusive of all sizes). -- 3/10 Winry is done, little Alphonse is next
      * 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. -- 3/10 some preliminary work is done
      * 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. -- 4/7 at least some clothing has been designed! Final versions shouldn't take too long.
      * 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. -- 4/7 First one will be a Soom Grey/Ace body from the current FCE! (Going to the girl who already has a body, so time to sell her current one too, I suppose)
      * Bring home three additional dolls (FairyLand, Little Monica, Luts) to "complete" two sets. -- Whoops modified! It's now going to be six additional dolls; ordered an Illusion Spirit doll I've had my eye on before the end of the discontinuation event, adding one more FairyLand, and a third from a currently undecided company. -- 4/7 Undecided doll has been ordered, and is a Magic Time Levan
      * Replace Gabriel's body (again), and sell off the current one (then get him in line for his mods) -- Body is ordered, should probably move this to a definite section now...

      Longshot
      * Get a couple of F60s.
       
    11. Whew, so many plans! Mostly to concentrate on my two resin kids and get them more clothing and accessories. Both are hooved so I'm free of having to buy shoes. Storm needs lots of clothing, but its easier to find her things that fit. Sard is MUCH more complicated, most of his things I have to commission. Top of the list is getting him a kilt to go with his black wig. And anything elvish to go with his white wigs, robes, etc. Plus saving up to see if I can ever find the Soom Snow white body and Soom Odette head I want to make into a doll most lovely :)
       
    12. Get my first Luts fantasy KDF from Luts!! This time I'm not gonna miss the chance. Also learn about serious photography and get a Nikon camera.

      New edit and it isn't even 2015 yet:
      * Buying an RDJ head and possibly a body *hangs head in shame at my gullibility for a RDJ head*, and faceup to be Sherlock. Have plenty of 1890's-ish clothes. Have his brown 14mm eyes. PIF with extra WS body:doh.
      *My Doll Family head came in that I ordered in August of last year (forgot about him). Interesting Elf eared vampire. Immediately started by modding his pointy nose and pointy chin, off to a roaring start. Perhaps he will tell me who he is before I do a faceup on him. Faceup done, photo in DF discussion thread Done - he is Dusk Lightbane.
      *Bought an "in stock" DZ HID MSD named him Jamie Clare.Done arrived and faceup'ed

      4. Possibly sell extra props.

    20. Oh boy... oh boy... oh boy... Five months in and I've completely failed at my most crucial goal... *sob* Guess it's just like new year's resolutions... Some things are just not meant to be.

      • Order my Crobidoll T-line Duri before the ordering period ends this Spring abandoned plan
      • Get a body for one of the floaters; (update) Shuusuke or Inaho's (only one)
      • No unplanned dolls, no unplanned dolls, no-unplanned-dolls Kazuki and Mary happened
      • Get some eyes and wigs for those who need them as well as some more clothes


      And then the mandatory things

      • Man up and do more faceups
      • ^ extra: learn how to use brushes
      • Practice more photography
      • Get around to sewing more because I've been slacking off...
