dollnoize discussion

I am now also waiting for a wrath and an envy! Only heads this time but yaaaay!!

 

Ooh congratulations everyone! I'm keen to see more of these guys around.

 

I had an oops and now I'm waiting for Wrath and Lust

 

Yay!

 

Has any one heard any news or had any replies from her about the previous order that was suppose to be ready late July/mid august (not the current recent one that ends this month)?
I had emailed and send a message on IG and no response it’s been weeks now and I noticed she hasn’t posted in awhile either.
Hope everything’s okay with them just wanted my previous order of envy in hand before deciding if I’m gonna order full or just heads this round of lust.

 

I was interested in one of these heads but I messaged the artist twice with questions about the new sculpt and no response. I won't buy without the answers, so lost sale.

 

She has been very quiet for a while. I hope everything's ok.

 

Hello everyone! I actually just spoke to her this minute. She is in the process of moving and she’s playing catch-up now as we speak!

 

Oh good to hear that she's ok!

 

Has anyone done a resin comparison of dollnoize bjds to other bodies? I'm thinking about purchasing a Wrath and Envy head, but i'm not sure what resin colors match other companies

thank you

 

They're a bit of a weird size. Bigger than your average MSD, but much smaller than the smallest SD (that I've ever seen at least). Because they're mature, their heads are better proportioned than most MSDs because they're obviously not supposed to be super child-like. I can attempt some comparison photos this weekend if I remember.

 

^ I'd love to see some comparison photos! I'm kind of on a fence if one of these boys would make good shell for a specific character of mine but I'm struggling to imagine how they compare to your regular MSD sized doll and if the difference is too huge for what I'm aiming for ^^;

 

I'll write myself a note and see what I can do for you this weekend!

 

Sorry it took forever! I was having issues synching my phone with my laptop to transfer the photos.
Here's my Wrath with an Iplehouse JID Daniel to the left, BishonenHouse Spade on the right, and a very old DZ Demi-2 to the far right.

Spoiler: I also put Wrath's head onto the JID body

He's completely his own thing. Distinctly adult on a child's body in this case. If you hybrid him he'd have to be a mature mini to to get the proportions right (but uh...not with a BishonenHouse body).

 

hey guys! i've bought two heads in the skin tone "light" and was wondering what colour that would best fit with other companies? Like is it more like WHITE or is it normal or something else? :O

Also do anyone have any clue if DF-H msd bodies might fit? ^_^

 

I finally did a thing! Gerard now has a wig! I made it using baby-fine alpaca hair and it's incredibly soft! Those braids are 2mm in a diameter and no joke, took me 45 minutes to get right.

That looks amazing!!! :O i love those braids wow!

What body is that? It looks soft!

 

Thank you @Dheta! I'm so happy with how his braids came out.
That's his default body from DollNoize! It's really well built. Defined muscles but...soft at the same time. It's gorgeous! His clothing is quite drapey at the moment too, which makes him look really soft and sweet and I just adore how his personality is really starting to come through.

 

Posted twice, apologies.

 

I always felt like his default body was a bit too muscular for my taste, but it looks so great here!! Now i'm saddened i only bought heads haha!

 

It's a little bit of both I think? There's definitely muscle definition there, but I feel it's not wholly unrealistic. It's definitely got softer edges that many of my other boys. I've got a friend who is a gym junkie, but he's still soft, very much like this body is. I'm really happy with it! (The kicky knees not so much, but he's also strung insanely tight).

 

They are in the making! Just saw a video on IG.

 

I saw that too! It's so cool watching the de-molding process.

 

Has anyone gotten a shipping notice or received their boys yet?
She let me know the dolls were received by her and she was getting them ready and that she was preparing the labels and such but haven’t heard back since then and I’m so anxious for my Envy lol

 

Ooh exciting! Fingers crossed you hear something soon!

 

I think she only got Envy back. At least I haven't heard any news on Lust or Wrath

 

Yeah probably just envy because I got my tracking and he arrives Monday

 

Anyone heard anything from Dollnoize recently? I sent a message for them over a month ago and still haven't gotten any response. My PayPal buyers protection is running out and I don't even know if my boys were ever casted.

 

I had the same issues and concerns because of the delays and how PayPal only lets you files claims during a period of time. I ordered him in spring and was originally suppose to get the doll fall last year but I got my envy yesterday after yet another over month delay of the post having him stuck circling in a warehouse (ups) all out of my and the artists control of course.
she did receive the Envy batch of sculpts but I haven’t seen any news that lust or the last wrath batch have arrived to her yet so that could be the case.
I posted some videos and pics of the casting on my IG Login • Instagram

 

I've been seeing Envy arrivals popping up on Instagram so hopefully yours isn't too far off.

 

Anyone get a tracking number on their Envy? Bc mine was supposedly shipped out the 2nd of January (which I was told by Dollnoize herself) but I never recieved a tracking number. So I'm trying to see if anyone else got one and their Envy in.

 

I don't remember if i got a tracking, but! I have my envy head :3 just needing wrath now haha.
So yeah, she has been shipping!

 

Ooh I forgot that just buying heads was an option. Damn. I might have to jump in on the next preorder.

 

Ugh, double post, apologies.

 

I was told by Dollnoize that they had to split the orders so Wraths and Lusts are not even made yet. I have no idea if all the Envys got made in the first batch.

 

Hi all! This is Dollnoize. I hope it is okay for me to post a little update here as well, if not, mods please let me know.

All blank Envies are shipped out, both from the Winter and Summer Pre-order.
Envies that require a face up are being painted, but I'm almost finished with all orders, so if you haven't heard anything about yours yet, you can expect an email in during this week

I apologize if there is any confusion, I'm doing my best to send out all dolls and I apologize for the delay in Lust and Wrath dolls. The Pre-order was large and had to be split as @Emma DD White said, but all Envies were produced in this batch.

Thank you all again, I'll leave this thread now, so please email me if you have any questions ❤️
Warm regards,
Greta

 

Has anyone gotten their dolls or tracking numbers? I saw Dollnoize posting an update on IG saying they’re about to send the dolls out but I still haven’t gotten any emails or updates from them.

 

@Emma DD White I got my tracking numbers for my Envy (who I ordered on 2/16/21 - he required a faceup) and my Wrath (ordered on 11/7/20 and shipped out w/ Envy to save on shipping) yesterday!! DHL should be pretty fast. I'd say check your spam if you haven't gotten a confirmation yet!!

Gonna post an unboxing thread of the boys when they arrive.

 

Why do I feel like I'm asking this all the time.. But has anyone heard from Dollnoize? Especially anyone who ordered Wrath or Lust. I haven't heard anything since March and I was told then the boys should be ready for shipping mid April/ early May. I messaged Dollnoize April 23rd and they still have not responded me or even read the message.

 

I ordered a Wrath head with a faceup, and I haven't heard anything either. I emailed requesting a change of delivery address because of the delays (will be living somewhere else soon) 9ish days ago but I sadly haven't gotten a reply. Not sure how long to wait before contacting on insta or someth (don't want to hassle/bother her and am a pretty new collector and not sure of the norms about stuff like this)! I'll post again if I get a reply.

 

Did you end up checking your spam as previously suggested?

Hmm given that you're moving ad it's kind of an emergency then yeah definitely go ahead and message them again.

 

I check my spam daily. Nothing there. The group message came through nicely on February.

 

Well, it was just a suggestion!

 

With this news of her doing an SD head sized preorder….
I’m debating selling my envy with everything I have for him
I love his face sculpt and I love his body sculpt and detail but he is MSD size and the other character to his storyline is SD sized lmfao.
Also I have 2 bodies I use to make clothes that are a bit stained now but headless that maybe I can hybrid (iplehouse SID and Dollshe)
I really gotta think about this XD

was anyone else getting an SD head?

 

I was really keen on getting an SD head initially, but I love my Wrath as he is, even if he's completely out of scale with my others, which is something I actually didn't expect. He was just a placeholder, but uh looks like he's staying

 

I'd love to get the SD heads but as they're side characters in my stories I just can't. Would be so lovely to have Lust in SD though...

 

I'm getting no response via email or Instagram about order problems on website. Anyone know if all is okay with her? Seems a bit odd.

 

I've just ordered an SD sized Wrath head ♡ I'm so hella excited *-* I've been so infatuated by him for the longest time but always struggled with the unusual size. So the SD size is heaven-sent for me ♡ Definitely hoping her newest boy will go SD as well, I adore him!

 

Ahhhh, that's so exciting!

 

Has anyone heard from Dollnoize? Our orders from July -21 were meant to start sending out August 8th but they haven’t responded to any emails in weeks.

 

I got a response from Greta today. Problems with her caster, delays. No information on status as I was looking to order something in this pre-order which is on hold. Hope this helps. I used the contact option through website this time. Maybe try that for the orders placed in 2021?

 

Oh no. I would so appreciate an update from her though.

 

Apparently there is issues/delays with the most recent preorder. I have a friend waiting on a doll and they received an email last month about it But I noticed on Instagram a few people didn’t receive it and were out of the loop and are now deciding if they will continue to wait or not etc.
Has everyone else has luck contacting?

 

I received her Newsletter containing the information about the issues with her caster.
She also stated that she won't continue doll making.

Ever since I didn't get any more informations and answer.
I tried through Instagram and contact on her website as well as sending mails directely.
I am still waiting for my Lust...

Has anybody heard of her recently?

 

I didn't realise she had a newsletter. Is there an online link to it somewhere?

 

Yes, it's directely on her front page. You just have to scroll down a little:

Ball Jointed Doll Store | DollNoize

I hope it is okay to post the link for this purpose?
If not please remove it.

 

Could somebody who received it post the exact message in the newsletter? @SuBro_Design maybe? Just so, that everyone is up-to-date with Dollnoize and their preorders. I've po'ed an SD-size head during the last preorder in August and they adviced a 90-day production period. I would just like to know what's going on~

 

This is the text from the mail I received on 13. September 2022:


Pre-order update for September 2021

I hope you are healthy and doing well.

I have decided to use the newsletter in order to update you, as it seems that my regular email isn't reliable in delivering emails to multiple addresses.

If you have received an update from me on August 4th, please continue reading as this newsletter includes more information regarding your order.

First things first, this is the content of my email from August 4th:


Hello dear Sinner,

Thank you for your continuous understanding and patience thorough this Pre-order.

As I mentioned in my last email, the shipping was planned to start this month.


I'm currently experiencing a big delay in communication with my caster, as they haven't replied or contacted me in the past few weeks. They have always been incredibly professional and reliable, so I do expect a response from them soon, and as soon as I know the status, I will share it with you immediately.


As I understand your frustration, and my nerves are already completely fryed as is, I will accept refund requests if you do wish to get your money back. I sincerely apologize, and understand if you decide to step back from your order. Please consider that refunding your money can take some time, as it does put a big gap in my accounting.


However, if you would still be ready to wait a little bit more, I would be incredibly thankful. My gift list is almost finished, so I will share it with you in a bit. If there is anything else I can do, please let me know.


Please understand that I take the delay very seriously and do my best to work it out. If you have any inquiries, please don't direct them at my casting partner as they are already as busy as it gets. I will keep you informed on every following step.


Yours,

Greta


I sincerely apologize to those who did not receive this update and felt left in the dark. Of course, that was never my intention.

Now I would like to explain the situation to you.


Upon my last attempt of contacting my casting company today, they have responded to me - literally a moment ago. They are going to proceed with the order right away and the dolls will be finished in casting. We are discussing the deadline right now. I can't put my relief into words. They didn't disclose any detail about the reason for months of their absence other than intern company difficulties, which are solved now as it seems.


However, if you do not wish to wait, I can understand. It's been a very long and stressful time, even though it has never been my intention.


I have mentioned that I planned to make small gift bundles for those who wanted to wait for their dolls. Even though accessories can be fun, I was also working on a new doll line prototype. Since the prototype is finished, I have decided to gift you this doll. It's roughly 26cm tall with jointed shoulders and is printed from a fleshy tone-like resin.

There will be a choice between 3 heads.


I hope you like it


This is also going to be the last pre-order. Or rather, the Summer 2022 pre-order is. I have come to the conclusion that no matter how much I love making dolls, the stress and fear of disappointing those who buy my dolls is weighing me down too much.


There might be occasions on which I'll sell single in stock dolls, but for now that's it.


I am very thankful for your support, incredible patience, and understanding through this entire process.

Once all dolls have reached their homes, I will be stepping down from doll making. I hope for your understanding and again, thank you very much.


Warm regards,

Greta

 

Thank you so much for sharing @SuBro_Design - much, much appreciated!

Oof, I wonder why she doesn't share these things on her IG, I'm sure that's where most ppl turn for news regarding their dolls. It's sad to hear that she will be stepping down from doll-making, but it's very much understandable. I wouldn't be able to bear with the amount of stress myself -.-

I'm not sure what that will mean for the folks that participated in the summer preorder as that came even after the preorder that everybody has been waiting for, but I guess I'll give it some more time...

 

Oh that sucks so much. This must be so stressful for her.
