Anyone remember Dollshe Ru?

    1. I used to have one in like, 2006-2008 I think and recently was thinking of her and her wide little lollipop head and her skinny body and her little enigmatic smile. I couldn't remember the name and after a bit of searching found out that she was a Dollshe (that was a surprise to me considering what I remembered of Dollshe). Anyways I was feeling nostalgic! It doesn't seem like there were many of them made, and I feel like all my old bjds came from companies that either don't exist anymore, or molds that are hard to find.

      Here is a photo from Rhibops on flickr, I think that's a stock photo but I'm not sure! I miss her haunting little smile, I liked how she really looked like a doll in that way :)

      Anyways just a bit of reminiscing!

    2. I sure do, I have one! She's definitely a little treasure, wasn't even that common back in the day when they were still making her. This photo is a few years old (oh god, more like ten), but it's not like she's any less cute now <3
      That flickr photo has the Iplehouse logo in it, so definitely an old stock photo. I vaguely remember there used to be a couple of big dealers, like Luts, that used to sell Dollshe sculpts back in the day, so it's possible that this was either a "doll and faceup from us," since it seems to have included a credited makeup artist, or "stock photo of clothing item for this doll" type photo.

    3. @spacemachine, I agree, Dollshe Rus are still cute after all these years. I love their hands and feet, and once did a photostory featuring my Ru's feet -- Tell Me A Story

      I'm fortunate to own two Rus, both bought on the secondary market at different times --

      The one on the right has a default face-up that *might* be Tensiya. The one on the left has a face-up by the person I bought her from. I'd planned to remove the face-up, but when she arrived, it inspired her character (that of a naughty little neighbor girl), so it stayed :)

    4. thank you so much for sharing her, she's so sweet!

      Thank you for sharing this! I love how different they look even though they're the same mold. Maybe I'll eventually put a ISO ad up in the marketplace and try and find another one. You've both inspired me to look for her again :)))

    7. I got her directly from Dollshe/Tensiya in 2005, so yes, forever. I'd ordered both she and Fee at the same time, but she arrived first, beating Fee by only 3 weeks, then Nissa snuck in five days later :D They are responsible for creating what is now Troop Tiny and my focus on being a tinys person, which was unusual back then.
