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.

    3. Thank you, MysteryAya! I have two questions - one, do you know/can you tell us what skintones/company bodies match these heads best? two, if paying by paypal - is that the address to use and do they want payment made simultaneously with the email request?

    4. Well I only have the natural skin tone Hugo and he matches with the Volks body very well. I've also seen pictures of hugo on a older bermann body and it looked really good too. I've never seen a white skintone elysium head in person before so i can't say what he would match.

      I bought my Hugo through Yahoo Japan because at the time he was sold out on elysium so i never bought through them. I know Leeda recently obtained her Hugo-MN through western union through them. They must have recently added the paypal because they didn't have that option before. I suppose you could just ask them. I heard they can speak a little english. I was thinking about getting a hugo-mn as well in the future as soon as i can get some money together so i will let you know how that goes :D

    5. So far Companies that match the Elysium Normal Skin tone

      1. Volks Pureskin
      2. HappyDoll Normal (not the older resin)

      Payment methods they accept

      1. Send cash by post
      2. Bank transfer
      3. International Money Order (Western Union)
      4. Paypal (edit, thanks MysteryAya)

    7. Thanks for letting me know (and what a bummer since I sent them money by post which left me worried sick for a week).

      Anyway, they said that they are in the process of making a boy body for their heads. They are expecting the body to be available during the winter 2006-2007.

      Also, the body may be a taller body, as they noticed that many people like to put them on larger bodies.

      They have also suggested SD16 to be the best body out of all, for the moment. They also mentioned that a lot of owners use Dollshe bodies, though the skintone match is not very good.

    8. I was wondering if a Iplehouse body would match a Hugo head?
       
      #8 BriarRose, May 19, 2006
    9. I dont know about iplehouse. ive never seen one up close. I met a Soo-ri last weekend but didn't really get too good of a comparison. now i wish i had. I hope that elysium does make a taller boy because i would love to put my hugo on a taller body because he does look a litte out of proportion on the volks body (but not that bad)
       
      #9 MysteryAya, May 19, 2006
    10. Thanks for the response. I was also wondering or if you would know if a DOT body would make a match?
       
      #10 BriarRose, May 19, 2006
    11. Hello,
      I just want to ask if you would know when they will restock some of the heads since I am interested in Ban >.<.

    12. The Iplehouse resin is not a match though it IS very close...I tried mine on ptwinny's Iplehouse body in normal skin but it was a slight bit pinker than the Elysium yellowish tone. The head was also a strange fit. I'm not so sure about DOT....but I think DOT resin is pinkish isn't it? Best match is Volks pureskin and HappyDoll as Lord Ros said ^^

    13. DOT resin would not match. Here's a comparison photo between the two:
      http://72.29.75.219/~cheapme/coupley3.png

      DOTs are a bit more pale and pink than Hugo heads. The Volks pureskin is a perfect match for it. =D

      I'm very excited about the news of them coming out with a body! I'd love a body that could slouch a bit more than the Volks body I have for him right now. I'll get my hopes up for that one. =D
       
      #13 Lone Sheep, May 19, 2006
    14. its hard to say if they will restock there heads. they did a re-release of the ban head about 6-7 months ago so there is always hope that they will release him again. you could always email elysium to find out :D
       
      #14 MysteryAya, May 19, 2006
    15. Thank You for the picture comparison, there lovely together. I can now that a DOT body wont work, oh well I was hoping for an easier way of getting a body than YJ. I still have to get my HUgo head a body, well everything.

      I can't wait to see what the body will look like. I'm excited too.:)

    16. Just reminding everyone that they will be selling Hugo-SN heads for the last time this June, I believe.
       
      #16 Lord Rosiel, May 22, 2006
