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. So... again, Raurencio has shown us how talented their sculptors are. I am totally in love with this guy.
      I was considering Marco.. but now, I am more toward Kurosaki.. >_<

    8. Hikari Kame - he really does!

      It looks like a more pronounced type of head than previously (remember the first round of male heads, where in profile there was very, very little projection of a jawline in front of the neck?). Stylistically a bit more abstract (despite the uncanny Kazuya resemblance!). Now, if he looked a bit more like Kaneshiro....

      Love that outfit. Want.

    9. LOL! I knew you would say that! :XD: Think Raurencio is a Bleach fan?

      This studio is turning out some gorgeous guys!

    10. LOL, I didn't really realize the name Kurosaki until you guys pointed out the orange wig thing. LOLs.

      hobbywhelmed yes, Raurencio has been improving and listening to his customers' suggestions. I remember I once point to them about the jawline as discussed in one of the previous discussion thread, and yes, they have changed their sculpt.
      Now, I only wonder, if we order one of the old guy, say, Calian, will he has the old, little jawline, or the new one?

    11. Oh my gosh! He's so gorgeous! I've been so impressed with Raurencio lately-- now yet ANOTHER doll to add to my wishlist.

    12. He's gorgeous and the fact that he reminds me so much of Sugizo makes me like him all the more. :whee:

    13. Another handsome Raurencio boy!

      luckyhayashi: I don't think the old boys will have the new look that the Raurencio boys now have. They have taken on a new group of people since they have began making the newer sculpts last year. You could always post on their Q & A though. ^^

    14. I thought it was Ichigo for a moment or his father maybe until I clicked the link, yall are too funny!

    15. PacificBlue -- yes, I've noticed the shift in sculpts -- and thank goodness, a change from clenched hand positions for the males! I do have some separate hands coming soon from a small group order, so hopefully the resin tone hasn't changed much from the earlier one.

      lucyhayashi - I imagine the older heads will be the same as they were. I doubt they'd go through re-sculpting them, especially without any announcements. I did do a comparison between the UD Jace head and a Remiel, and would love to get one of the newer sculpts to check on the change in jawline. But part of the reason for the lack of jawline was the front-to-back oval of the neck, so I wonder if the neck has been made more round, like most doll necks, on the new version of the body. (I think that's the default version body for these new guys, right?)

    16. Oh my! So mature, so delicate... He just pretty much threw out all my doll plans. :D
       
      #16 nbluju, Apr 22, 2011
    17. yeah, I figured. Those old boys will probably come with the "old" type of body.
       
      #17 lucyhayashi, Apr 22, 2011
    18. Anyone know of good resin matches for Raurencio? I want to get the Kurosaki head, but buy a different body.
       
      #18 Hikari Kame, May 1, 2011
    19. per Raurencio, their new resin will match Volks

    20. Kurosaki arrived yesterday and he is just wonderful! He is even better than the pictures! I will try to get pictures tomorrow.
