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.

    2. Unidoll. There needs to be more Ark love in the world! Coming back to the forums after a long time, I was horrified to find out they closed...

    3. I really miss Dream of Doll. I had a dream once of them making new releases, I was so sad when I woke up and realized it was all a dream. I still want an E-An until now, I think she's really pretty. <3

    4. Dream of Doll, absolutely. I'd be lying if I said I don't consider buying Homme Ducans whenever I see them up for sale. I really always wanted to order one straight from the company though, which will never happen now. Oh well!

    5. They closed really soon after I joined the hobby, and I'm super lucky that I found my Ark recently.

      I never really looked at a great many of the companies mentioned here, but I really regret not getting anything from PeaPod when they were still around.

    7. Notdoll! They had so many varied and interesting sculpts, as I remember it.
       
      • x 1
    8. This, absolutely. I have a Sha but the E-an is still a favourite I'd love to see if their site/company got up and going again :(

    9. Glory Doll... very sad that they are no longer making dolls :(
       
      • x 2
    10. Fantasia Doll. Just for their muscular female bodies. Its the only muscled woman I've found besides Impl doll and the Impl looks, boxy and unnatural. Fantasia did a really good job with their design and I'm lucky I was able to find mine second hand. I know two friends in real life who would buy the muscular female from fantasia if they were still in business.

    11. Oooh! Definitely missing Glorydoll and Notdoll Lab. Both studios used to make the most unique and unusual sculpts. I miss them both tremendously and wish I had kept the ones I had. Transcend★B is also an artist I miss. Amazing work!

    13. Unidoll! I wish I had other Unidoll tiny owners to talk with. :pout:
       
      • x 1
    14. Definitely Elfdoll(._.)
       
      • x 1
    15. Add me to the Dream of Doll bunch! I love so many of their sculpts, and their overall aesthetic. I'd also love to see old CP Delfs resurrected. I wish I joined this hobby earlier. :(

    16. Elfdoll most of all. Vivien and Emma is my dream ladies. And I like much more of Elfdoll's sculpts, that's a great loss for bjd community. I'm happy that Rainman keep on making BJD, but old ones was marvelous too.

    17. I have just recently realised how much I miss Glorydoll. :atremblin
      If I wasn't such a slowpoke in decision making, I might have had a chance to buy from them when they were still good and going. Now... Even on secondhand market it's hard to find their dolls!

    18. Plastic Moon (both anthros and humans) and Unidoll.
       
      • x 1
    19. Creature Doll, for certain. She made beautiful girls, but remained open for only about a year because of poor sales. I think it could have been avoided with better marketing (and perhaps a different brand name), and I really regret not seeing all of the lovelies that she may have created if her business had succeeded. :(

    20. Customhouse & Unidoll. Loved them both. Is Musedoll still in business?
