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. Definite - by the end of 2015:
      - Order a Luts65 Delf Cyan (with light tan skin)
      - Build/assemble a means of keeping my dolly clothes organized
      - Make more clothes for my current dollies (4)
      - Get a wig for my delf Bory

      Possibly, by the end of 2015:
      - Buy a female delf Bory body
       
    2. So far I have my Impldoll Azalea home and my Islanddoll Noah head is at Mint on Card waiting for me to make the final payment. I did break my resolution to buy no new resin aside from those two, but not TOO excessively--- I bought a Unoa Sist Bully faceplate from the MP a couple of months ago. So now I have to try not to rationalize buying her headback and body this year :P
      My main goal for the rest of this year is now finishing the wigs that I'm making for all but two of my dolls. I picked the most time consuming method of wigmaking in the universe (rooted fiber on a tulle hardcap just like a human lace wig) and it literally feels like it will take the rest of the year's worth of dolly time just to finish 4 wigs!
       
    3. right now...All I really want is to sell some of my older dolls that doesn't get any attention.
       
    4. Hmmm... Let's see. Well, I have like 3 dolls picked out, and I'm still picking out clothes/accessories, but before that I have to finish phase 1 which is all the faceup materials. I'm already almost finished with that part, I just need to get a respirator and some gloves! then I have the rest of the summer to buy just dolly stuff! CHEERS TO MY HUMBLE BEGINNINGS!
       
    5. I now have only two goals. My first goal is to somehow obtain a Soom Volo. My other goal is conditional, if Soom releases a doll based on my suggestion at Dollism, I'm buying two. This second condition is why I am not going to have any other goals, I need to have the money to buy two if it's released.
       
    6. I've come back to the hobby after a long break, so I've got a short list of my goals:

      1) purchase an IH EID man with Model Body - DONE - NS Rex expected soon

      2) sew, sew, sew... for my IH EIDs IN PROGRESS

      3) get better doll stands RESEARCHING
       
    7. Update

      12. Set up the studio apartment. Started in my attic.
      13.Build a 70cm bed started- why did I start there? as I look at the Incubus sleeping above me), 60cm bed, a couple of chairs ordered, longer sofa-Done, end tables for the apartment. Bed built but need frame for it.
      14. Make more props, props, props! *Started on a few things. Started bookcase currently working on it.
      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.DONE He arrived.
      *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
      * Put a DM Blue Epoch Nayuta Kenzo on layaway for 6 months. PIF early; should receive end of May or early June
      *Ordered Dollshe Bernard head :doh, reshelling Song.DONE Arrived and faceup'ed

      Hopeful things
      1. Get a WS Ringdoll? body for Kilian let Remi have his body back. Getting a Miro 64.5cm body for either Remi, Kilian or Dusk. Ordered see #15 above
      2. Make a ‘Frankie’ outfit from Rocky Horror picture show. (Already made the male size corset and found some fishnet stockings - what is left?) found garter belt ideas at Doll meet.:)

      Hard to do list
      1. Don’t buy any more dolls (except for Kilian’s body). Failed that before the year was out.
      2. Possibly sell floating heads. One is up for sale. Selling and reshelling
      3. Reorganize the closet and shelves. Working on it.
      4. Possibly sell extra props.
      5. Sell the stuff the guys don’t use. Gathering it up and pricing, Sold some things already.

      Actually pretty proud of my accomplishments. Still I need more self restraint.
       
    8. About time for an update, to see how well I'm coming along here... :sweat

      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 and big Al are 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 Grey/Ace body ordered from the most recent FCE! The other will be waiting on the next FCE or release, to prevent them from being "twins"
      * 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. -- 5/10 MT Levan received, still waiting on IS, saving for two FLs
      * 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.

      Taking a look at the status of this... I think I really need to get on the ball with Adet's spray tan, and with those clothing kits. On the upside, I have some concepts for the kits, so I just need to take a little time to get the patterns loaded up, and start adding the designs! So I'll set those two points, and getting little Al blushed, as my three main priorities next, and do my best to have them handled by the next time I update...
       
    9. This is a big year in the hobby for me! I just got started in my career - and got a big income leap thankfully - so now it's time to finish up some of my dolls.

      1. Buy an Oasisdoll body for my Natalie head
      2. Upgrade Leila to a new SWITCH body.
      3. Face-ups for Leila, Jit, and FD
      4. Find long teal wing for Jit.
      5. Shoes and more boy clothes for FD

      Gonna try to calm down on the girl clothes and eye purchases, haha.

      * not a priority but would be nice if I could this year ^^
      Short cuts to Iple clothing collections
      Lovely Valentine Collection ; '15 Spring Collection ; CH Weapons ; ?? Collection
       
    14. 1. Most importantly, get more clothes for my 3 dolls. I think I've got Sammi covered, but I still have yet to find something satisfying for Nilla. And Ebony can always use more clothes. Update 2015-02-13: Found a cute outfit for Nilla! Still nothing for Ebony though :(

      2. Decide whether I want to sell my Souldoll Lev head. He was my only impulse buy, and I do like him, but I haven't done anything with him. I'm just scared that if I sell him, I will want one in a few years but will never find one again since he's been discontinued. Update 2015-02-13: Contacted someone on the MP who had a WTB up! I've decided I don't want to keep him. Update 2015-05-13: The buyer couldn't get him, so I made him a sales thread.

      3. Get Charlotte! She's a DIM girl for sure, but I'm not sure which sculpt exactly. Update 2015-05-13: Bought a DiM Larina on a GSE body!! :D

      4. Learn to make cute lolita clothing for Charlotte, and/or buy her some cute dresses. Update 2015-05-13: I bought some fabric and patterns, and am sewing some petticoats and bloomers for her.

      5. If I mqnage all of that in 2015, I'll be ecstatic! My plans after that are to get more big guys to go with Ebony. Don't know who yet, though. A Simply Divine Thomas? A Migidoll Yujin? An Iplehouse boy? We'll see. Update 2015-02-13:I oopsed and got a migidoll head before everything else was done... Ahaha :P
       
    15. For this year,

      I simply want to spend more time with each doll that I have. Simply buying them more clothes, eyes, wigs, etc. Take more pictures and be more active in the BJD community. Lastly, finally getting around to building a diorama for my lati dolls.
       
    16. oh WOW...my doll plans for this year just sorta...happened on their own? I had nothing much really planned, except to get a wig, a set of eyes, and to start saving for a body for my Ringdoll Pan head that's been sitting around semi-neglected since September.

      Now, his body is arriving sometime friday, I made a wig for him, and he has temporary eyes...all of this happened within the span of a few days.

      I do still plan on getting him a pair or two of eyes, a proper wig, make lots of clothes for him and his brother, and take them two with me on vacation and do a LOT of photoshoots.

      Not a bad year for dolly stuff, especially since I haven't been very active in the hobby since about a few months ago!
       
    17. My doll plans for this year:

      - Making new historical/fantasy clothes for my dolls' new characters

      - Buying wigs and eyes that will match my dolls' new characters

      - Making new make ups for almost everyone, and bodyblushs and so on

      - Hopefully I have money to buy a new MSD doll and special parts for my Soom sg girl ;)

      - And the most important thing, since I'm getting back to this hobby from a long brake, spend some time with my dolls and make new stories :)
       
    18. In rough order!

      - Do more photoshoots of my dolls
      - Nag friend into redoing faceups*
      - Find Valli a good outfit, though not necessarily buying it
      - Try a new design for Otakar's outfit
      - Maybe find him some shoes
      - Decide on Valli's eyecolour
      - Start saving for Vissarion

      (*I feel like I should point out that he's doing them willingly, partially as practice and tests, at the same time as he's doing his own dolls. He needs to be prodded into doing his own, too!)
       
    19. -New faceup for Yuri (Complete!)
      -Sell the small girls (Trying...*_*)
      -Alden...just...Alden. (In progress!)
      --Order Alden's head. (Complete!)
      --Order body.
      --Order clothes, eyes, and such.
      -Get Max some kind of outerwear
       
    20. Here is an extra goal I set for 2015 to help me figure out which size is the way to go for me:

      ♥ Find someone with a tiny ball-jointed doll who lives relatively close to me / Go to a doll meet if possible to check out BJD in smaller sizes than YOSD / Buy a tiny ball-jointed doll to settle the size issue.

      I only have the tiny and the MSD range left to check out in real life and I figured I'd start with the tiny size seeing those look so adorable on pictures.. We all know that I'm a sucker for cute... I doubt I'll find someone with a tiny ball-jointed doll in my vicinity, let alone my country, that's willing to meet. Doll meets are pretty non-existant as well so I'm afraid I'll probably will be doing the last option. Not sure if the funding will allow me to do it this year though.
