I am interested in DollnDoll's new 60cm boy Raam. The fact that shipping is free now and the price is lower than average make him even more attractive. I am quite sure nobody has one yet, but I wanted to hear opinions about the girl, Shade, from owners. How's the resin quality? Poseability? How tightly/loosely are they strung? I know a lot of people have other companies' dolls from them, so if you've ordered from DollnDoll please let me know how the service was!
loz64...no need to worry...Shade is simply exquisite. I'll admit it but only to you, lol...I have three! Basic Shade, Knight of the Moon and Spirit of the Dark Moon...each different and yet.... The resin is lovely and I think her face and body sculpt is perfection. She is slender and delicate especially her long fingered hands and has a grace about her none of my other bjd's have. The people at Dollndoll were wonderful and generous. I requested eye colours which they gladly sent and twice sent an extra outfit, plus stands and extra strings. Also, all three girls were sent within a week of purchase and the last one was free shipping! The only thing I would change is they were all strung a bit tight making the legs kicky but sueding their knees and hips should fix that, if I ever have the time. Sorry I can't include pictures right now, camera problems..but I would love to see and hear when you receive her if you feel the same magical quality about her I do. Hope this helps... PS...Just checked on Raam after you mentioned him OMG!...more love at first sight...I'm done for, lol!
Thanks Wifey and oggi! I think the time is drawing near when I shall put an order in for Raam... I actually prefer for the stringing to be tight rather than loose, so that's good to hear. Sounds like the customer service is good too. Thanks for your opinion ^_^
Sorry if reviving this thread is bad. I want to order a doll from them, but as of late they have been extremely slow to answer Q&A items, and it seems shipping is taking forever. I would like to hear more feedback on this....
You'll probably get more of a response to your thread in the Buying & Shipping questions subforum, since you're asking primarily for company feedback and information. I'll move it there for you now!
I have a DollnDoll Shade. She was my first doll; it was love at first sight and I have never regretted my decision. Her resin is beautiful and almost translucent. Her proportions are perfection. Her faceup is so perfect I would never change it and if anything happens to it I will send her to the best faceup customizer I know and try to get it just the same! I bought her from DollnDoll's own eBay seller (ebay seller ID: thesauros71). Her name is im sung jung, and her email address is [email protected] (this is also the paypal payment address of DollnDoll). I had good communication from her at this address. My doll arrived 18 days from the date of purchase, all the way from Korea to Utica, NY. Akiko was quite kicky when I got her, but I sueded her hips, knees and waist joints and she stands by herself really well - better than most from what I have seen in person. I also glue sueded her shoulder joints because her arms were a bit floppy (I wish I had known about glue sueding when I did the other joints, because it is sooo much easier! I found all the information I needed right here on DoA). I managed all of the sueding without taking her apart - I haven't had the nerve to try that yet. Last but not least, here is a whole thread dedicated to this doll: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46134 Even though I rather like that there aren't too many of this doll around, I must say that I highly recommend her.
I am also thinking about buying Raam soon-ish. So all this was interesting to hear. However, I do have one question, as far as requesting wig color, eye color, etc... should I just enter it in the "order comments" box? Or, should I just wait for my doll, cross my fingers, and maybe buy extras on the side?
My communication with Dollndoll has been quite good so far. I have a Raam ordered, my Xelloss, and he's the next doll I am waiting on. He's going to be the third doll, out of my five, that I ordered directly from the maker company, but he's my first from Dollndoll, so I can only tell you that they've been good about responding to my opening inquiries about him. I can't speak as to custom requests from Dollndoll, but when I receive my Raam I'll be plenty happy to let you know all about him if interested. I fell in love with him right away from the pictures and I can't wait until he gets home to us!
I'd be VERY interested to hear how long it took, and to see the pictures! (I might just order without asking for anything special, and keep my fingers crossed. I already know where to get a good wig if I have to.)
Dollndoll took about 2 weeks, I think, to get my ines shipped out. I didn't request anything, but if you want to, putting it in the comments box in the order'd probably be best.
I really want to order Dark Ines... it's safe to say that's what my "economic stimulus" check is going to be spent on. Guess I'll be stimulating Korea's economy! She'll be my first SD sized doll. I just fell in love with her! I've been looking for an SD sized girl and just sort of stumbled across the Dollndoll website by accident. Is this a relatively new company? I wonder why they're not more popular, their dolls are wonderful!
I was wondering if anyone had a bad expierence with these guys ^^" There wasn't a thread about them so hey, I'll start one! Please include the following in your review: What did you order? When did you order? How was the communication? How easy was it to pay? How long did it take to ship? Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Did the item look like the sales pictures? Were you satisfied with the product? If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem?
Well, they don't have many molds. That might be one reason; they might just be better known for selling other companies' products.
I received my Raam at the end of last month, he took about a month total from payment to receiving, but I got him with faceup. He is a little different-looking in person than I expected from their pictures. I had no problems with Dollndoll. They sent with him a fur wig which actually did not quite fit his head, but fit my Elfdoll's head just fine, and also a pair of awesome boots that I think were actually Customhouse boots for their SD-size dolls. I posted a picture of Raam in the one Dollndoll database thread, if anyone wants to see him, but the eyes in that picture are not those he came with. If someone wants to see a pic of him as he was when I opened the box first, let me know and I'll post one here or just load it on photobucket and send you the link via pm.
What did you order? Raam. When did you order? Beginning of March. How was the communication? Communication was good, they notified me of payment and of shipping, which was all I needed. How easy was it to pay? Payment was easy by Paypal. How long did it take to ship? About a month from order to arrival (I did order their faceup as an added option, not just the blank doll). Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Raam is a very nice-quality doll, so yes. I would have bought him at the old price, actually, but the new lower prices made him an even better value. Did the item look like the sales pictures? Not quite, his chin is a little more pointy than I thought, his ears are also differently shaped than I expected; the photos don't show enough angles of him to really understand his face shape, but it still works well for what I was looking for, it just wasn't quite what I had thought. Were you satisfied with the product? Yes, very. They included stuff in my box that I wasn't expecting, like velcro for the head, a pair of boots. If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? I was not dissatisfied, but Dollndoll seems very responsive to their message board questions in my experience, and were prompt about communication, so I expect their customer service would be as good in the case of a problem.
In what way was he different from the promo pic? I'm SO drooling over Raam at the oment, but if he looks different from the picture... Well.. So I would VERY MUCH appreciate a picture of him being unwrapped Here or by PM, your choice How does he pose?
It seems there hasn't been mentioned much here about DollNDoll (Doll & Doll) http://dollndoll.com - and it makes me a little vary of them... Can anyone either confirm that they're ok, or confirm that there's a good reason why these dolls seem so hyper rare here?! Thanks!
There's a thread on them here and there seem to be nothing but positive things said by those who have purchased from them. ^__^ I've been debating picking up a Raam myself...I rather like his face and you can't argue with that price. X3
Thanks for that link - I was concerned because I read this thread, with negative comments on Happydoll... http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=193066&highlight=Happydoll
There's a Raam discussion here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73295&highlight=raam and on there, they posted two Gallery threads of owner pics of raam: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97539 http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97539 Hope this helps! ^^ And there's another one around here.... http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3093874&postcount=8 There! So, owner pics! Still, he seems rare... hm. I'll make sure to take pictures of my own, when I get him!
Yeah well I took the plunge and ordered a Raam. Will let you all know how the trade went once the doll gets here So far, everything went smoothly. Except.. their PayPal checkout is botched, at least on some browsers (I'm using Firefox, it MAY work on IE or other) because when I came to the checkout the Paypal button that is shown in their "paypal guide" wasn't there. So I used their 1:1 board to contact them about it, and a few hours later, they'd sent me a regular Paypal invoice. So they're fast at responding! Edit: OMG! I just refreshed My Account page from DollNDoll.. and the status has changed to "On Shipping" OMG OMG! That's FAST, isn't it?! It's been like 3 days since I initially ordered it! *is hyper*
That's GREAT! =D I can't wait to see your doll! Take lots of pictures; ONE WEEK TILL I ORDER MY RAAM! *excited squee*
I have been curious to know what you guys think about dollndoll. What other companies can it be compared to for quality? How is the customer service? What is your favorite mould ect.... any info would be very helpful thanks...
Hi, Was just looking for the same info they have beautifull dolls ,I like the Ines mold, and free shipping until may 15 th if i understood it correct. Here is more: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=209535
I just got my D&D Raam today. After less than two weeks (Today is Wednesday, and next Sunday is TWO WEEKS since I ordered him - so Frree Shipping definitely doens't mean SLOW shipping here! ) He's lovely. A lot lighter than my other doll, but given that the other one is a 70 cm DZ doll, that was to expect. The resin seems fine, there's almost no seams visible and he has a lovely colour, light but not unnaturally so. I ordered mine without faceup because I like to paint my own dolls. That of course made the shipping faster, but still. I got some extra gifts, too. Besides the eyes and wig, there was eyelashes, shoes, eye putty and velcro. I would absolutely buy from them again. I have my eyes set on Loren...
Right.. I got my Raam today and he's LOVELY! http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3150727#post3150727 I also got extra gifts along with him. Besides the eyes and wig, there was shoes, eyelashes, a block of eye putty and some velcro-tape to stick the wig on with. He poses great, stands very good. His eyes are a little tightly strung so he likes to bend them,but I'm sure that'll change with time. The quality of resin looks nice, there's almost no seams either. I'd say it's great value for the price asked! I'm definitely considering Loren VERY much now.

Hi. I have jus ordred a very lovely girl from Dollndoll - dark Lorna, she is a beauty. http://dollndoll.com/shop/step1.php?number=953 she is 55 cm - but its a very sexy 55 cm girl IMO, I have not ordered from them before - but heard good things. Lisa
Please, you two, post plenty of pictures when your Lorens arrive I want to get me a Dark Ines next, so I'm happy if I can see some more of DollnDoll, I think they have the cutest girls ^^
Oh yes, I'll do that for sure Dark Ines is allso lovely. Maybe we could make a Dollndoll database, it seems that there is none ? I'm in Denmark, so we are close Lisa
Yeah, Denmark isn't that far away I think threre is a DollnDoll Database here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109071
OK.. uhm.. not really BAD feedback but.. I ordered yet another doll after my great expirience with them when I ordered my Raam. suppose he must have been in stock or something because it's been two weeks now and all that has happend is that the order status is at "Money Transfer Recieved" (no kiddin... I paypalled you the money....) and they haven't responded to my 1:1 board question yet where I asked how long I should expect to wait for my doll... so my impression of them has gone down a tiny notch. Not much - yet... but I would SO like them to change the status to "Before Shipping" soon so I know they're actually working on my doll.... I also don't like when a 1:1 board is left unanswered... BUT it's only been around 30 hours so far so... I'll cut them a little slack And they still have beautiful, very affordable dolls
JMO here...I've ordered from them before and waited about a month. When TrekkieGrrrl got her Raam so fast, I was all whoot whoot and ordered a Loren, thinking she would also arrive in record time. Well, just like you said, I ordered her 4/23 and all it says is 'money transfer received'... I did post on their Q&A board and had a response in a few hours, supposedly she is going to ship out this week! We shall see...
What did you order? Raam When did you order? May 1 How was the communication? Great, but I didn't try to communicate too much. For what I did ask, it was great. How easy was it to pay? As easy as any other paypal-accepting company How long did it take to ship? It took 20 days or so. Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Absolutely. The only thing I'd ever have against it is his arms are a bit tight. XD That's my only complaint. Did the item look like the sales pictures? Yes, it looks like the pictures, but better than even userpics. So gorgeous. Were you satisfied with the product? Better than satisfied: my Raam is amazing; I love him. If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? N/A
I can highly recommend Dollndoll. I ordered my Shade on May 20th. She was shipped out on 23th and has arrived today. She is gorgeous and I'm very very pleased. I'll definitely buy from them again. I even received one pair of boots for my girl and free shipping (good until the 31th May I believe).
I can recommend DollnDoll. It took a month before they shipped her out but they were out of boxes. They are lovely people who always respond on their E-mail in two days! My dollie came home unharmed with free shoes and a free wig, with the eyes I requested Lovethem!
What did you order? Shade When did you order? 20th May How was the communication? I didn't need to email, just ordered via order form and used paypal, they sent out notices right away and I got my EMS tracking information immediately when my girl was shipped out. How easy was it to pay? Very easy. With Paypal. How long did it take to ship? Only 3 days, ordered on 20th, shipped out on 23th...wow that was fast for an international order. Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion? Absolutely. For the price I paid for my Shade I got a beautiful doll, with great posing ability, a wonderful face-up, a lovely, well made wig, a pair of free boots and even free shipping. What else can one ask for? Did the item look like the sales pictures? Shade is even more beautiful in my opinion but I think the pictures are very close to her real-life-Look. Were you satisfied with the product? 100% satisfied. Now I only have one big problem: I want them all...sigh Dark Ines, Loren and Raam... If you weren't satisfied, how did the company solve your problem? ----
I purchased a D. Ines from dollndoll. The ordering was easy and she was shipped fairly fast (it was the rainy season and I wanted a face up. I was notified it would take a bit longer because of that). Unfortunately she was shipped with her head cap magnet glued in the wrong way . A quick e-mail and I was being shipped a replacement headcap and loose pair of magnets with profuse apologies. I am impressed with my girl; she is beautiful and the company is great to work with if problems arise.
Has anyone requested a custom make-up from D&D? If so, what kind of picture should be sent to them? :E Their English seems pretty bad so I'm not sure if they'll understand my request. xD // Damn, this was a feedback thread. -___- Oh well.
I've just ordered Loren from D&D, and panicked a little when I realised I didn't know their Paypal address. But I found it on the FAQ section and paid on the same day. They also replied my post on their Q&A board the very next day stating that they have received my payment, and that preparation will take 7 to 10 days. (I ordered faceup.) Will update when I receive my doll. ^o^
wow thanks for the feedbacks about DollnDoll, i hesitate between dark loren and dark Ines.. (coz i love the smoky eyes)
Rezzing this thread I guess, to ask about DollnDoll's recent status. I had ordered a doll some year ago, and things went very smooth and pleasant. This time around, I ordered another doll, only to have it be about 10 days later than the shipping time said. It still just says the Money was Transfered, and I've e-mailed them a WEEK ago with no response on my order. Has anyone else experienced this before? What happened in your experience? Thank you!
Hey, don't worry! I think they're a bit busy with their orders and maybe that's why they're taking a bit longer than usual. They told me it'd take 7 to 10 days to prepare my doll (with face-up) but they took about 16 days to prepare before they updated my status to 'shipping'. But at the end of it all, I still received my doll LESS THAN ONE MONTH after I ordered her, which I think is incredibly fast! In fact, the postman just delivered my Basic Loren today, and she's beautiful! Her look feels kinda different from the photos but that might be due to the difference in the wig. Her face-up is as described in the photos, and she even came with a free pair of shoes that were made in Germany. She also came with a long blond wig from DollGa. The entire doll was wrapped beautifully in layers of bubble wrap, with a plastic lid protecting her face and a body pillow. I am in love!
Thanks for the reply, my Robin actually came on Saturday. heh. ^_^; .. It took about 20 some days, but at least she's home. :3
