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.

PIPOS MAC - New Dog from Pipos!

Jul 27, 2008

    1. Happily, this little guy has been deemed on-topic for Den of Angels, so I can post him here! :)

      So, here's the story. A couple months ago, some local BJD fans and I were chatting about how there is a serious lack of cute dog BJDs. (At the time, there really weren't any cute ones at all.) I was hopeful that Pipos, the creators of Baha Kitty, would make an equally cute puppy doll. I edited a photo of Baha to show what it might look like. The picture below is the photo I edited (very badly edited, might I add--I wasn't taking it too seriously).

      A couple weeks later, a topic was started on Den of Angels about how people wanted Pipos to make a floppy-eared dog doll. So I posted the above edited photo...and guess what??

      Amazingly, someone from Pipos saw the photo, and wrote the following:

      Of course, I was very thrilled and honored by this message!! :D I wasn't sure if it would really happen or not (it seemed too good to be true!), until last weekend, when I got a PM from Pipos, asking for my address. I gave it to them, and...look who showed up at my house on Friday?

      :love

      The mold does not have an official name yet, but Pipos included a very lovely letter with the doll, asking me to name the mold for them. I haven't heard their response to my suggestions yet, so I'll keep that part a secret for now. ;) EDIT 7/28: The name of the mold is now officially PIPOS MAC.

      I did a comparison photo, to show how closely Pipos followed my original picture. It is VERY close!! The biggest difference is in the faceup and the eye color (the original picture has cat eyes, since it is an edited Baha photo).

      I think they did such an amazing job bringing him to life! Definitely an improvement on my original design. I can see that this mold will be so versatile, and will be able to be painted in so many different ways. I can't WAIT to see what Pipos has in store for him!! I don't know when he'll be officially released by Pipos, but I hope it will be soon!!

      Thanks for reading, and I hope you like him as much as I do! :)

    9. That is fantastic! And I think it was especially kind of Pipos to send you such a lovely present x3

      And I have to say, most floppy eared dog molds don't appeal to me, but this one is really cute, and the ears are very well done :D

    13. That's one amazing story! He's like the dog version of the Baha. ^_^ I have a soft spot for beagle-like floppy eared dogs.

    14. Wow, this is such an amazing story. You never know what can come from random artworks. He's a cutie (though I would prefer the fluffy ears ;)), I'm sure you'll treasure him forever. Does he have a name?

      It must be amazing to know that something you came up with has be fully realized. ^^ I wonder what they will choose for the name.

    15. Thanks for all the nice comments!

      I think they might come out with different types of ears for him eventually...I don't know this for sure, but it's just a guess! After all, Rooney has optional ears...

      My doll's name is McGwire, but that is NOT the mold name! I know what the mold name is (or at least what I think it will be, because Pipos kindly asked me to give the mold a name, and I emailed them my suggestions), but I don't want to say what it is until they officially tell me for sure. :) I'll post here as soon as I know it, of course!

      Pipos has really been wonderful. They are so kind to consider a potential customer's request in such a way, and it's amazing to me to think that these wonderful artists in Korea have been so appreciative of a nobody like me who lives halfway around the world. I can't recommend them highly enough! I wish there was something I could do to thank them sufficiently! :aheartbea

    16. I think the best way to thank them is to continue to pimp this cute little puppy!
       
      #16 Anielle, Jul 28, 2008
    17. He is wonderful! Congratulations... I am certainly thinking about an adoption...I only do girls, but...the puppy will be so cute with my kitty and bunny!

    18. Aw, that is such a great story! And he's so adorable now that he's made! :D Congrats!

    19. Aww! Yay! More Doggies!
       
      #19 Skittle, Jul 28, 2008
    20. I'm glad that he seems to be well liked! :)

      Also, I should have clarified this earlier, but Pipos did give me permission to post my photos before the doll is officially released by them. I did ask their permission before posting.

      Additionally, I am also pleased to announce that Pipos has accepted the name I gave them for the mold, so he is now known as PIPOS MAC. Named after my beloved Maltese dog by the same name. ;)
