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.

Update ~*Ladysaiyuki's @ MegaCon 2009 in Orlando Fl (2/27-3/1/09) and more ^_^*~

Mar 30, 2008

    1. ~~**Hello there DoA**~~

      2/26/2009: ^_^ I am happy to say I will have a Table this weekend at MegaCon 2009 in Orlando Florida and I will have many of my dolls and doll Accessories/wigs/shoes/etc available there to sell.
      I do have a few White Rabbit Ren's there to sell along with my other 3 new head molds and a few Remaining Hanyuu's and some Ted's.
      I look forward to seeing everyone there ^_^

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      1/27/2009: Getting ready for Idex 2009(will be there with not just my dolls, but with lots of accessories for them as well) and very much looking forward to seeing everyone there. I will be out there Friday Jan 30th ^_^ and will be in the retail room from Jan 31st-Feb 1st.

      I officially have only 11 White Rabbit Ren's available for Idex, and they are all first come first serve. I will also have a few other various LS dolls there as well, which are also first come first serve.

      the remaining preorder dolls/doll items that are not in yet, will be in, in about a week to 2 weeks...they will be shipped off to their new owners asap.

      all custom painted LS dolls and all blank preordered dolls
      that have been fully paid for have been shipped off all shipping notices have been shipped to the paypal email that was provided, all dolls should arrive soon if they haven't already ^_^

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      1/14/09: 2/3 of the preorder has officially arrived to me (I'm missing 1 doll from the preorder and 2 gift heads...but they are coming in the second batch...do not worry...all orders from the first 2/3 of the preorder that were paid in FULL to me already are in and will be shipped within the next day or two ^_^ ) the doll heads and 1 doll (and of course extra stock for the conventions I attend) haven't arrived yet are dolls that were on Layaway and not fully paid for yet...so again, no worries...

      I will start shipping out in a day or two ^_^

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      1/7/2009:
      It's official, White Rabbit Ren's are in my possession (the rest of the Preorder is NOT...the White Rabbit Ren's were ordered first along with Dark Tan Hanyou, Lily, Ren and Wolfram.
      (All Dark Tan Wolframs are Sold and so is Ren...I Will be Offering Up Dark Tan Lily and Hanyou up along with the 5 White Rabbit Ren's))...

      I'll be hot glue Sueding and Painting them up over the next week (I am allowing 5 to be Preordered here on DoA and they CAN ship immediately after I am finished with them next week. I"m putting them up Today and they will be available until Idex or until the 5 are Sold they will be $385 + shipping to you)


      sadly enough the Boxes will not get finished in time for Idex or the preorder...it's something we'll shoot to do for the next Limited Edtion Fullset LS doll k...sorry for any who were disapointed O.O

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      12/27/2008:
      Now that the 1stHoliday Preorder is closed I'd like to show everyone my very first Limited Edition Fullset: White Rabbit Ren:
      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]

      She will be coming with everything shown (LS Ren(glue sueded), Hand cut and styled Pink Wig, Limited edition Dress with Rabbit eared Bonnet, Fur Pantaloons, white shoes, Pocket watch w/chain and clasp, Handblown Glass albino eyes)

      we're also working (DiSpy, Steve, and me) to also include a very special Wooden collectable Box (made by Steve, our amazing Woodworking specialty Artist) if the box gets done, it will be photographed immediately and posted ^_^

      White Rabbit Ren will only be limted to 20 in the world (only 16 of them will be in circulation, as 4 will remain in the LS family (only one will be kept by LS, the other 3 will go to 3 close to LS)) 15 will be in White Skin, 5 will be in Normal skin (Normal skin ones have not yet been done nor photographed yet)

      I will allow 6 to be preordered here on DoA, the other 10 will be strictly 1st come first serve for IDEX 2009 (Jan. 31st-Feb 1st) all 20 of the White Rabbit Ren were put into production before the Holiday Preorder even began, so they will be done and available before any of the holiday preorder gets into me.
      the 20 Ren's will be arriving to me within a week...and all the outfits, wigs, eyes, shoes, pocket watches have been fully made and are in my possession and awaiting the dolls and possible Boxes.
      all WRR's will be signed by me (Ladysaiyuki) on the inside of the headcap ^_^ and numbered and will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

      Prices will be approx.
      $385 with No special Box
      $395 with Special Box
      (this will depend on whether or not the boxes are possible)


      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


      12/7/2008:
      The 4 New white Resin Prototype Ladysaiyuki dolls (Ren, Hanyou, Wolfram, Lily)
      will be on display at the Lake Eola Holiday meet in Orlando on December 13th (DoA's DiSpy will be accompanying them to the meet ^_^ )

      The New open hands are not quite right yet...but they will be soon ^_^ they will officially be the new Default hands for my dolls. the original hands are available for this preorder...but I will be redoing them in the future to be more mobile as well...

      but to hold everyone over until they are done...here are the first resin Prototypes of my New Dolls:

      oh and for anyone who wishes to do an online Order of Wolfram...please also do so before the 15th of December.

      as he will NOT be a part of regular online Sales...as after this gift event.... he will become an LS CONVENTION ONLY doll.

      I hope you enjoy this News I bring ^_^

      ~LadySaiyuki


      ********
      ps. for those of you who have sent pms or emails to me here's some answers to some questions I've gotten...


      Wolfram is only being offered online this ONE TIME for this Holiday preorder...other than that unless you see me at a Convention physically you will NOT be able to purchase Wolfram as after this first Holiday preorder...Wolfram will be a Special Convention Doll only(as I've been doing a ton of conventions lately and I'd like to have an Exclusive to conventions doll) so if you don't go to conventions often and wish to bring Wolfram home...please do so via This preorder...

      if you buy the special priced Wolfram full doll you will get an extra Wolfram gift head. ...so you will have one body and two heads...

      You can do Layaway for this preorder...but if you do, you will NOT quailfy for the free Wolfram gift head if you can't pay off the layaway before the Preorder is Closed...

      hope I was able to answer all of the questions asked via email and the pms I got...they all asked the same general thing ^^; I answered via pm/emails...but I wanted to put these answers out here for everyone else to see ...so they know too...

      for all info...please check out my Preorder thread ^_^
      thanks and many hugs,

    9. I'll be helping LS this weekend with a table in the Artists' Alley at SuperCon down here in South Florida. She will be selling all of her creations as well as doing faceups and servicing on dollies.

      I invite everyone to come on down and see her in-person.

      More info here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=213926
       
    10. Sorry I am still new to all of this. How long would a simple face-up take and how about how much would it cost?
       
    11. Hi there MadHatter ^_^
      how long would a faceup take? about 30-40 mins...sometimes less...as sometimes I get on a roll and can do it in like 20 mins ^^; but I over guestimate as it's better to be happy that it was done sooner than to be disapointed that it's later...right?
      as for price I charge between $35-55 for a faceup...depending on size and Difficulty of what is requested.


      EDIT: oh and I totally forgot to mention this....if you'd like you can even stand over me and see the face painted from start to finish ^_^ as can anyone who is wanting a faceup ^_^ ....by the way...I will only be doing like 3 faceups a day

      ...as I'd like to relax a bit and enjoy the con as well...and by enjoy I mean sit and chit chat with dolly fanatics ^_^ hehehe....


      ^_^ Thanks Geri ^_^ you are too sweet for the recommendation ^_^ *hugs*
       


    12. Bump for new pics of First fullset resin pics of Mature Ted and announcement for sales or small shipment as well as news on when the rest of shipment arrives and
      AWESOME BONUS ANNOUNCMENT: PERSACON 2008 ^_^​
       
    13. I'm sending some more of the items from my group orders (the same stuff I brought to supercon) over to persacon with LS. (All those outfits, shoes, eyes, wigs that her dolls were dressed in... that was all stuff I got from my group orders.) So anyone who missed out at her table last time, can have a chance to pick up some stuff there. Have fun Yunabug and LS... sorry I couldn't come as well. :(
       
    14. O.O *hugs* I'm so very honored to receive such an invitation ^_^ *hugs* I know too that I will have a blast ^_^
      O.O and Oooooo....plans ^_^ nice...I very much look forward to them ^_^

      Thankies Di...O.O as I think it will be much nicer to have shoes, outfits, eyes/accessories and not just dolls ^_^ I wish you could come...but this just means next time ^_^ I'll have to drag you...hehehehe....


      6/4/08: just as a mini Update...I wanted everyone to know that I am getting in 2 Blue Chibi Teds and 2 Tan chibi Teds for PersaCon especially as these were two colors that were requested and I was totally out of ^^; if you would like one of them...please contact me to let me know...
      but just to let you know I will ask for a small deposit to reserve them as yours...as I will only have 2 of each and they will be first come first serve ^_^

    16. Hey everyone...I'm messaging this from a phone right now ^^; I've left home and am going to stay at a Friends house for my crazy early monkey flight to PersaCon tomorrow ^_^

      but I have a few updates to make before I get to PersaCon....

      first off...all preordered SD Teds have been shipped ^_^ Yay ^_^

      second...all paid for blank dolls that are international bound are all packed and will be shipping out Monday morning...due to my Post office being out of Express labels...I could not ship out the express packages without the proper lables...and I refused to send them Priority as they couldn't be tracked then according to my PO...and I want them Trackable...

      third: sadly enough due to delays and a tiny shipping mishap...the Blue Chibi Teds will not be able to make it to PersaCon -.- I'm so sorry about this to anyone who was looking forward to the Blue Teds in person O.O
      but I did get 2 Chibi Tan Teds and 1 Normal skin Ted (but I have no white skins at all and no NS Hanyuu's)

      and I have Tons of Chibi/Yo/Bambi size outfits and shoes and wigs as well as some SD Boots and a few wigs and accessories and I also have with me 4 1/3 mature fullset Teds and I have 6 extra heads blank ^_^ so I'll have tons to look through and rumple through ^_^

      and Yuna...pm me as soon as you can ^_^

      and I shall see everyone at the Con ^_^ *hugs*
       
    17. bump for Lottery winner announcement ^_^
