Dollshe Discussion - Part Seventeen

@Ho.taru He's beautiful. I'm a total sucker for both redheads and tatts.

I'm bad about posting (recent) pics of all my boys not just my Dollshe ones. The only recent-ish pics I have taken have been for friends who wanted/needed comparison shots of different bodies together and a couple of shots I took to show an outfit I'd recently completed that I was pleased with.

 

Gorgeous, this is what I wanna see! I love his body art.

(I do get where you're coming from by the way, but I don't think ignoring him is "letting him get away with it", because talking about it isn't punishing him or making him face retribution either. Talking about it is just... a cycle with no destination. Either something comes of BJDivas threatening legal action, or he bankrupts himself or both, that's the only real retribution!)

TBF I can't contribute myself (therefore can't "put my money where my mouth is" and all that) because I don't have any 1/3 dolls. I have the 1/4 fashion size instead. But this tends to be where the actual discussion happens because I think most people prefer 1/3, the fashion size thread is slow.

@Iron_Dog I get you, me too haha. Though I also ended up self-conscious from seeing too many posts on the web shaming anybody for showing off "unfinished" dolls, which mine perpetually are. It's extremely rarely the right conditions in my country to do face-ups, and I'm in no great hurry anyway, so they end up blank eyeless mannequins for... years. I'll still take pictures, but mostly keep them to myself.

 

@nattherat I currently have 3 full dolls requiring face-ups. I can't do a face-up to save my life so I need to find an artist that I like and I'm quite picky. I have been fortunate enough to find one that I like that's local to me (a 2 hour car ride from my house!) but I also need to have the funds to have the face-ups done. 2 of the blank ones I have are brothers and I'd like them to have similar face-ups (one is a SD boy and the other is a DV boy) so I'd want to send them together. The other is only recently put together and I still don't know who he is so his face-up will be put off until I do know who he is. The 2 ready for face-ups have been blank for.... over 5 years for one and about 3 years for the other. I have another boy with a face-up that I want to get re-painted as his current face-up isn't doing it for me (or him) but since he does have one that is serviceable, it'll do for now.

 

Yes, I hope none of the owners feel any shame about sharing/owning them (the ones that are not banned) just because of the terrible turn the business has taken. Some of the first dolls that I loved when I discovered BJDs were from Dollshe, what has happened since then is heartbreaking. I want to support the owners and would-be owners, not shame them.

Both of your boys are looking so amazing have such attitude

 

Yeah the Dollshe situation made me feel bad about owning one, even though mine is nearly 20 years old and I bought him secondhand

 

This is something I've been struggling with since banning. I adore my Neo so much, but I felt that maybe it wasn't right to share him anymore given how the situation has progressed. I'm slowly changing my perspective now, as I am realizing that there's people who take joy from seeing owner pictures and sharing in their joy of the doll even if they are unable own the doll themselves.

I would love to post here, although mine is the fashion version not classic, so I'm not sure I can. As nattherat mentioned, this thread is far more active than the fashion discussion

 

Just the last few replies shows that sadly yes, Dollshe owners do feel shamed/unable to share their dolls! I've seen the same sentiment time and time again on Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram.

It's why I'd really like for Dollshe discussion spaces, like this one, to return - at least partially - to their original intent of sharing and appreciating the dolls! I feel like DOA is one of the only places where you could be sure that if you post your Dollshe doll, you won't get harassed about owning one (I trust the mods to take care of that kind of thing), whereas sadly the same isn't true of other avenues. I hate to see this happening.

I went to a BJD con last year and met somebody I'd never met before who had their Dollshe dolls out, and as soon as I asked the sculpt (I thought I recognised them but wanted to be sure), they looked crestfallen and immediately began with an apologetic disclaimer about how they got the dolls a long time ago. That a complete stranger felt they had to explain themselves to me, because they were pre-empting that I'd give them a nasty time about owning Dollshe sculpts. I could literally see the relief in them when I reassured them that yes I know all about Dollshe, have my own, and no I'm not going to bring it up or make a scene, I'm there to compliment how lovely and well-put-together their dolls were. I hope I don't have to spell out why this is such a sad state of affairs!

@idrisfynn A cutie! Though I feel like maybe he wouldn't like being called a "cutie"...

@Sanar Fashion size, woo! My fashion King Corey is one of my most beloved dolls, and I think I'd part with almost all the rest of my collection before I'd part with him!

 

I have 2 questions.

When I bought Wu-Tyr (Orijean), I got him during one of the infamous stock discontinuation sales waaaaay back in the day. He is the faceplate system (which I strongly dislike) but at the time that was the only option for his sculpt and he was in-stock so yea! shipped immediately. The deal on his head at the time was 2 faceplates (OE & SA) + the head back. I will not use the SA plate for the character that is the full doll but I would like the option of being able to use the SA plate for a full doll because I think the sculpt is beautiful. I don't have my guys share bodies either although my wallet would love that option. Obviously getting a Dollshe headback is mission impossible at this point. Has anyone tried 3D printing one? If yes, how did that go?

I also have a spare Hound head (SA) that I got when I purchased Akusuo 2nd hand (he came with 3; I traded one to a friend and Akusuo is the other head). Unfortunately for matching purposes he is honey mango oriental resin. While the colour is gorgeous, what is even reasonably close to it? The extra head has a lovely face-up by Barbello that is pristine (he came to me that way) and I'm loathe to wipe it (for blush-to-match purposes) but I'm beginning to think that's my only option at this point if I want to use this head for another full doll. Like Wu-Tyr, the head Akusuo uses IS him and swapping between the two is not a thing for the character (the heads are also painted in different styles by different artists). Also, any suggestions on body recommendations would be appreciated.

 

Someone had tried to open a discussion thread when he attempted his whole CoCo thing, and I actually left a very stern comment underneath because ARGH! The fact that even ONE person thought a discussion for this should exist shows that at least ONE person was apparently thinking about giving it a try again.

People are so naive (I don't want to say greedy, but I think a lil' greed is part of it as well), and if they hadn't been willing to give him a million second chances we wouldn't be in this mess now. He would have gone under a long time ago. His first "last" order of the classic Dollshe was in...what 2010? And there we had people already wait a year or more for orders. Fourteen years of this, and the majority of these years was an absolute hot mess. How is that possible?!

However, I don't think people should feel ashamed about owning Dollshe (I owned several at some point too, I just sold them because their aesthetic didn't fit the rest of the group anymore). And I'd also argue that the majority of time nobody is giving the owners grief when they post their doll. If you (general you) yourself want to act all "shame on me" self-flagellation when showing off your doll (like that person on the con), that is a personal issue.
I'd personally refuse to feel responsible for his fuck-ups And having being tricked into supporting his shenanigans/having been stupid enough to support him even though things looked iffy already, is also something you gotta accept for yourself. I'd argue most of the people stuck in this situation are already angry enough at themselves about it. Sometimes you just gotta own up to it and laugh about your own stupidity.

However, I would feel responsible if someone asked me what company my doll is from and I'd say "Oh, a Dollshe" without adding a HUGE "I know you might like this doll but please don't go to the Dollshe website and buy it directly, please buy second-hand, cause Dollshe is a fraud and you will most likely wait years for your order and never receive it" disclaimer.
I don't wanna be at fault for someone walking into that bear trap uninformed after I dragged out my bloody leg from the forest

 

I def think warning people off Dollshe as far as buying direct goes is the only honourable thing to do (regardless of the ban here on DoA). If they still want to risk it after you've told them of the state of things, that's on them. Even if Dollshe wasn't banned here I still wouldn't purchase new because I just don't have that kind of money to go towards supporting someone else's lifestyle and that's even before accounting for the utter trash US/CAN exchange rate.

I had a friend state that she was interested in a Dollshe several years back and that there was a really good sale happening at the time and was thinking of ordering. I just about screamed No! and Run!. I gave her the skinny on the goings on at that time, what the wait times had devolved into, the high possibility of never getting her money back/the doll she ordered and strongly urged her to check out the waiting room here as well as this thread. She didn't place an order (thank goodness) and about a year later ended up finding someone local who was selling their Saint for an awesome price. She got to do the sale in Canadian funds and picked up the doll from the person's house so no shipping or Customs.

 

One of the annoying things about Dollshe is that the man does make some gorgeous dolls. It's just a pity that he's also kind of scumbag.

I bought a Dollshe Marco head second hand from DOA's marketplace, only kind of thinking it would be a fit for a character, partially because I didn't even know the sculpt had made it into casting at all and mostly because I wanted to own something from Dollshe without paying the man directly. The head wasn't a fit but I'm happy to keep him as a mostly-floating head because the sculpting is beautiful.

 

Just to add to what @Ara was saying, if you're someone who is 'out of the loop' (not on DoA, don't use social media, or have no friends in the hobby) how can you really vet a 'good company' from a 'bad company'?

My background: I saw the pretty pictures on Flickr and decided I wanted pretty dolls too! I joined DoA last year and by then I had already ordered twice from Dollshe with one doll home. I admit I was worried about my Saint when 9 months went by, but from what I understand (in general, not just BJD) is that a customer could end up waiting a long time, sometimes years, for a preordered item.

I think the reality is that many artists can't survive on art alone, and have jobs outside of their art, leading to the situations we have today where it's normalized to wait months for something preordered because they only have so much time to dedicate to it. This isn't the case the Dollshe as far as I'm aware, but in general, I believe most artists have day jobs.

Even now, I have some ear parts on order from another artist and they said 9 months. 9 months for a pair of 1/4 ears? Seems about right to me!

So, unless I've just had really bad luck, or tend to gravitate towards artists with long wait times outside my control, it seems kind of harsh to put the blame on would-be collectors when long wait times seem to exist everywhere, and not just Dollshe (again, from an outsiders perspective who had no knowledge of hobby drama). And research can only go so far when you're new. I honestly didn't think of researching the artists. I was more interested in finding the right kind of sculpts to build my dolls, because that's what it's about, isn't it? The joy/excitement to create your perfect dolls

 

I'd argue you gave yourself the answer there already: research.
Before you click the buy button and send several hundred bucks into the potential ether, you do your research. It's pretty simple actually
If you are unwilling to do so, because you'd rather focus on the romantic parts of buying dolls, then that opens you up to a LOT of disappointment (recasts for example).
And no, "research can only go so far when you're new" is not true. Research goes as far as you are willing to take it.

Saying "well I am out of the loop/I don't use bla/I have no community friends" is basically just saying "I did not try anything and I am all out of ideas". It's an excuse, if you truly are interested in not being scammed.
You bet that if I'd get into guitars tomorrow it would take me less than an hour to find a Reddit board, Facebook group, Discord channel or whatever to ask my really pressing questions I could not find any answers for just by searching around. I would NOT spend hundreds on something without being 100% sure it's safe for me to buy, vetted by people who know their stuff.
You could right now stumble into any BJD related group/chat/board/whatever and ask "Hey guys, new to the hobby, can someone tell me if Dollshe is a reputable company?" and within seconds you'd probably have a brigade of people telling you to NOT buy from him, and a full dissertation of what Dollshe did in the last decade. Finding these places often only takes seconds.
It just means you gotta have to get out of your shell and make use of the most powerful research tool: asking people that are more knowledgeable than you!
I'd argue not getting scammed should be worth that little extra research work.

However, if your first reaction is to go "I was not blessed with the combined knowledge of all the community combined the moment I decided to buy a BJD, guess I just gotta press that buy button!!!" then nobody can help you
The biggest issue a lot of newcomers have is that they a) don't even try or b) put in the bare minimum and then give up the second something is not given to them on a silver platter. And even if it's given to them on said platter, they might still not use it (saying that as the person that wrote a 70+ pages long extensive BJD guide extra for newcomers, and who has seen some shit).

I do not expect a newcomer to the hobby to have all the knowledge, but I kinda expect them to put in the work...or, well, live with the consequences

 

@Ara Thank you for the response. I appreciate your perspective.

 

Also depending on what social media you use, there is on IG Bjd Awareness. They usually post a bit about recasts and who to stay away from.

 

I guess I might step out again then because we're back to the same old circles.

I agree with warning folk, for the record, but that's what the big old notice on the front page of DOA is for, along with accounts like BJD Awareness. And, as @Ara says; self-directed research, which EVERYONE should be doing before giving away $600+, no matter what. I really don't want to be interpreted as if I'm saying I think we should forget his transgressions, because that's absolutely not the case at all. Just that repeating them over and over and over in a forum thread doesn't actually have any affect on what he does on his website or on the people he's actually scamming, nor does it change history.

I'd just really like to see some more dolls, and encourage owners to share their dolls and their plans, and their progress! Especially without wheedling them or making them feel bad, or dredging everything back up all over again.

On the positive side, speaking of doll plans; @Iron_Dog Yay! Hmm, I've printed a headback I've designed before, but I suppose the difference is I designed it and the head it was for myself, so I could be absolutely sure it would fit. I wonder if it would be better to try and make one out of clay instead, when you have the head in physical form already? I think that's what I'd do, personally; make one out of clay/epoxy. You could use a polystyrene sphere that's about the size of the inside of the skull, put clay on it, and once it's cured, use acetone to make the polystyrene melt (acetone makes all of the air in the polystyrene escape and returns it to it's original liquid form) so that the headback is hollow.

 

I think you can encourage people to share photos and doll plans, without shooting down the discussion of what's happening with Dollshe. This is a discussion thread and people are going to discuss what's happening. It's not like this is something that happened five years ago is being repeatedly "dredged up". It's an ongoing issue and this thread is a way of keeping up with it and reacting to it. Don't forget that you can scroll by any posts that are not relevant to your interests- there are some discussion threads that I don't read, I merely scroll through them for photos.

Many threads don't get a lot of photo activity for various reasons. Maybe some people don't post pics here because they "feel bad" but I think that's the minority, and most people don't share pics for a multitude of reasons. (For me personally, I just don't take a lot of photos anymore, but also my Hound's faceup is a WIP. When he's finished I will subject you all to his beautiful face.) You can encourage photos in the thread by literally just requesting them! You can also post your own photos to get it rolling. And you can do this directly in the middle of serious discussion about Dollshe's issues. No one is required to follow the flow of the conversation and it's totally normal to drop a photo at any time.

 

I look forward to seeing him one day!

 

I don't feel confident enough to try sculpting a headback for an existing faceplate. Sculpt a whole head, yes (I've done it before when I used to do pottery/ceramics), but that's a different thing.

 

I haven't posted photos here for a good while, but not because I feel any "shame". I did want to share a photo recently but I just felt it was tactful to wait a little while as the situation had just deteriorated and the ban was implemented. Anyway, thank you @nattherat for bringing this up, and as @overlordu said we can certainly do both. So here's my Fionn, he's an old boy, a Tensiya Hu Die Meng with a faceup by Lynsey. I bought him second hand in 2011. His wig is by Eclipse21.

 

He is very handsome!

 

He is handsome and I'm glad to see him. Thank you.

 

I cherish my 3 Dollshe's that I have and probably won't post pictures of them since they are in storage. I do not feel comfortable having them in my apartment cause I have a lot of BJD's and we don't live in a friendly area. I miss living in a actual home where I felt safe. I had to give up my order from 1 dealer cause it was 2+yrs of not getting my doll. At least I got my money back, but I had a feeling then that he was just taking the money and running. So sad cause he was talented.

 

I've found that my dollshe doesn't pose/hold a pose very well. Is this a me problem? he has the supermodel body.

 

@Malvolio What sort of poses do you wish to do? I have a Neo with the supermodel body and I've noticed the body is not very good at holding certain poses. His elbows and wrists in particular love to snap into angles, the legs can twist awkwardly, and the chest slouches forward often (my Saint on the mystic body likes to slouch too ). I find he looks best in various lying down/sleeping poses, or when just standing or sitting normally. Anything more complicated or dynamic and he won't cooperate. I plan to suede the big areas like the chest joint eventually to minimize those issues hopefully.

 

Mine are also prone to knee bending and chest joint slouching forward. I have the 18m Mystic body and Arsene body. Out of the two, the Arsene body is more functional for me, insofar as posing goes. I had Khan's 24m body a couple years ago but sold it, as I found it very kicky and too large (and weird uneven yellowing issues occurred, even though my other Dollshe dolls didn't display this even though they were housed in the same place). I can only assume that as time went on, Dollshe must've tried to cut corners with resin quality, as I received Khan in early 2023 I believe. He was the last, as I doubt Dollshe will ever ship the remaining Aramis I'd ordered in 2019.

All that said, I've been working on a project with my Dollshe 3x Saint heads. They're in Oriental resin and match my Arsene body. I'm thinking of making him into a character doll from Arcane, but of course it's still very early at present.

I also ordered Ashuradark's eye sizer kit on Etsy. It looks like an absolute life-saver, as I've generally been defaulting to 14mm eyes with small irises for my crew and they fit some but not all.

 

@Malvolio I have Pure, Rerelease Hound and Mystic bodies. They all take patience with standing poses. I wired and sueded all three and that helped a lot. Without suede and wire, they’re best at looking good while sitting around. Great at slouching.

 

Dev came out of the wardrobe today for a photo. It's actually amazing weather here in Ireland, unheard of for a bank holiday weekend! We managed to find a shady spot by the lake to take the pic.



He's an old boy who came to live with me in 2008, and when I picked him up today he felt like a rag doll so I'd better go and hunt for my bag of elastic!

 

He's so beautiful! I'm glad you were able to enjoy the nice weather together today!

 

I hope this is the correct place to ask; do anyone here have any suggestions for successful hybrids containing Dollshe heads in terms of sizing and resin matching? I absolutely love many of the head sculpts, but am not a fan of how many of their bodies look, so I want to try to hybridize one. For the time being I only collect 1/4 scale dolls, and would like to be able to find bodies that are readily available second hand or through a dealer without breaking the bank completely.

 

This thread is for the large Dollshes (1/3 scale, approximately 68-70cm). If you intend to stick to the 1/4 size, you'd need to visit the thread for the fashion dolls in the 1/4 scale section of the forum.

With that in mind, be advised that the heads for the fashion line are much smaller than the typical 1/4 scale doll. I think they wear a 5/6 wig where a large number of 1/4's wear a 7/8. Dolls that have a similar head size would be Batchix Dark Elf, Racoon Doll, Iple FID, etc. I don't own a fashion size Dollshe but a friend does and I gave her a hard cap wig for her boy that came with my Batchix Dark Elf and it fit perfectly. The body shape/proportions will also be very different from most 1/4 as the fashion dolls are mature adult where a large number of 1/4 are not.

Resin matching will depend on what you're trying to match. If you have a head cast in any of the honey resin, it has a lovely sort of luminescent quality that will be extremely difficult to match to anything but Dollshe honey resin (I have a Hound in honey oriental mango so I know what I speak of). You could have the head airbrushed to match whatever body you decide to go with but you can't airbrush to match the honey luminescence of the resin unfortunately. I feel this deeply as I have another Hound head (my boy came with 3) that has a lovely face-up I'd prefer to keep but finding him a body to match is very high on the impossible list now as Dollshe stopped making honey resin some time ago.

If the head is the pure resin, it'll be easier in that it won't have that luminescent quality but there's a lot of different skintones that Dollshe has produced over the years as standard colours. He used to cast for Dollstown (I'm unsure if he still does given his erratic and unprofessional behaviour over the last several months in particular) so they would potentially match several of the colours. Some companies will also resin match for you for a fee. They require a sample to do so and I cannot stress enough that sending a physical sample will give you the best results.

For the sample, should you go that route, I would highly recommend sending a paint swatch (you can get them for free from any paint store). The cost to send that is much cheaper than sending the head cap and should the item get lost/damaged in the mail, who cares, it's just a paint sample. I did this when I ordered a custom green Ziv from Impl and after they got the sample, the doll I received was exactly the same colour as the sample.

 

@Fractal I found this thread about Dollshe hybrids /threads/dollshe-fashion-head-akagidoll-body.866571/

I’ve got a few hybrids, but not with Dollshe heads although I’ve had fun swapping heads and taking pics. In addition to Iron_Dog’s great resin advice, there is head to body size to consider and you may not know what you want or prefer until you see photos.
I can’t speak to the fashion size heads, but the Bernard and Saint Classic 70 cm heads are small and wear 7” wigs. Hounds wear SD size wigs. So the body you get will depend on the specific sculpt you want to hybrid. You’ll need the neck measurement to narrow down your body choices and even then, you’ll want to see photos. I suggest posting a query in the Photo Reference section for photos of the head and body combos you’re considering.

I had some anxiety over posting pics of my lads, initially and changed my profile pic in protest to The Shenanigans. But I’m over my angst and will share my favorite portrait of Brick Facade, my SA Saint.

 

Even after my frustrating (and disappointing) run around with Dollshe over my Saint order (which I eventually cancelled), I still really love the sculpt so I'm glad you decided to share your boy, @tenukihandcrafts .

I'm unsure if I'll ever own a Saint or if he's now one of those admire in other's collections sort of deal due to the BS I went through in my attempt to get a Saint (he would've been the 55cm version (that's never been made) and in the honey espresso ebony). The same friend that has the fashion sized Dollshe also has a Saint she picked up 2nd hand so I can play with one when we visit.

 

It's hard because I really like the DS boys, especially Saint, always have. I hate what's happened with the company and all. At this point I don't have but one DS boy, an Arsene, and he's a mini that a doll buddy sent me.

He really needs a better face up and clothes before I can take pics though. His stock faceup is severely lacking. Whoever painted him did a really terrible job of it and they actually still sent it out. My friend ended up not liking the doll after all so I ended up with him. I think his sculpt is wonderful but he really needs a serious makeover..

Someday I would love to have a mini Saint. The Saint I had was a gorgeous hybrid doll but he was stolen from me during a move. I would love him back but smaller like my Arsene. I really like that size...

 

I think it's fair for me to say Saint was my first Dollshe love. I saw him in person when I attended YaoiCon waaaaay back in the day (I didn't own any dolls at the time). Then, he was so far out of my price range, he wasn't even a contender. Funny enough, it was after YCon, when I came back with money still in my pocket, that I started down this slippery slope of doll ownership. I bought Moswen (AoD Chi; still my favourite doll after 16 years and now 83 dolls deep) with that money and haven't looked back since.

I agree @magkelly , a mini Saint would be pretty sweet. Certainly far more portable than the big boys, lol.

I actually have one of my Dollshe's out in the living room right now (I rotate out who gets to sit on a chair in the living room every now and again). Wu-Tyr (Orijean) is snuggling with the love of his immortal life, Yalaren (SD Ize). He is such a beautiful sculpt with an utterly gorgeous face-up by Meenist. I hadn't had either of them out in a while and it turns out that I needed to replace Wu-Tyr's strings as they'd decided they weren't going to elastic anymore. I ended up using a slightly thicker elastic in this torso/legs than the one Dollshe used and I'm pleased with how... steadier he is when standing. Still muttering unkind things about the (lack of) strength in his faceplate magnet but it is what it is.

I also discovered that his favourite outfit (and ancient DZ pleather number that was... Wing's default? I bought 2nd hand years ago) is now finally starting to show its age. It hasn't started to peel/flake yet but cracks/wrinkles have appeared and there's a couple of places where the pleather has bubbled a little off the fabric backing. It's such a cool looking outfit but such is the life cycle of pleather regardless of how careful you are with it.

 

I know pleather is far more affordable and easier to use make doll clothing, but boy does it sure have an expiry date. Saint was also the first Dollshe I ever saw and fell in love with, even if David Kuncci was the first one I ever bought.

 

Most definitely on the ease and affordability of pleather over the real deal for doll clothes. Especially on the smaller outfits. Thin suede could potentially be subbed in but there are issues with aging leather, too, and suede has a different texture than leather. Pliver and skiver could also be used but the thinness of it could have seams tearing if someone isn't careful.

Orijean was my first bought with Hound my 2nd. I'd never considered Hound but then I saw Akusuo for sale and he was perfect to be the character he is so that happened.

 

Hello, just want to share here my Van, because he's so rare bird!
I've got this head near 10 years ago and this year finally paint him.

 

@dharmaniac your Van looks wonderful- straight out of an Old Master’s painting, vulnerable yet strong- love him !

 

Oh he's so handsome! I always really like Van. He's got such a strong brow and nose. It's very unique! Pity he's so few and far between.

 

@dharmaniac Your Van is stunning! Thank you for sharing him. I once owned a Van but sadly he is long departed.

@Iron_Dog I always have one doll on the sofa in the living room with me at all times, it's lovely to give each one some special time, and besides they are good company. My first Dollshe love was Hound, back in 2006 when BJDs first came to my attention. I had already been a collector of various other dolls for years and was curious about what these new BJDs were. I saw Hound on the Luts website and wanted him so much, but it felt way too scary to go ordering him from Korea when I knew nothing about them. So I bought a second hand Volks Kun within the EU, was never really happy with her and sold her on, but that got me started.

Of course by then the Dollshe dolls were no longer available on Luts but I found my Hound boy's head from a member on here, and later a body for him, so Oisín was born (his name is pronounced Osh-een) and he is still my No 1. I can tell him all my troubles and he heals my soul.

 

@mikki your Hound is lovely. I've swapped out my sitting dolls since the last post I made as I received 2 new dolls (on the same day no less) so they're sitting there now.

 

@mikki - Your Oisín is wonderful, and I love how you've bonded with him over the years.

 

I think all of the Dollshe boys are amazing and I love to see photos of them. Thank you @dharmaniac and @mikki for the eye candy. (Now I'm thinking about getting my guys out and playing with them.)

@mikki, I love the name Oisin and I had to look up the meaning. Your guy fits the name perfectly.

 

@mikki - He's gorgeous! I adore the old Hound (and old Dollshe style) vibes.

 

@Saba, @Quiet and Insane, @oriscany, thank you! All Dollshe boys are gorgeous and it's so nice to see them here

@mikki, your Hound is amazing! Red hair suits him perfectly.

@Iron_Dog, @luluna, @oriscany, @Quiet and Insane, @dharmaniac Thank you all so much for your lovely comments!

@Thymeseer Wonderful to see your Orijean, he is amazing!

 

Oh wow... isn't Oisin just lovely! I'd want him near me to tell my troubles to too!

 

@miffimifster Awh, thank you so much!

 

very stylish wig, fire! the doll's image is chic!❤️

 

Greetings, it's been a while. Poor Sal was covered in dust and I recently brought him out. A new skirt for him. I'm deep in plans to bring a second doll into the family!

 

@golo Wonderful boy, and exciting having plans for another doll

 

Orijean is a sculpt I feel doesn't get enough love. It's so unique. I love your boy.

Aw, hopefully Sal will forgive you for the dust now that you've brought him out again! Did you make the skirt yourself?

 

Its sad what is happening with dollshe
