I've just given up on looking at the sales haha! I desperately want a few of those dolls, but I'm joining the one year club in 2 weeks, and I couldn't resist ordering again in December. I'm updating this in November because it's the first post and I want to inform everyone I was a liar about not making another order. And another edit November 2022. Still waiting on Khan from December 2019. I've hit 3 years wait, December 13, 2022 and no end in sight. I've hit 4 years wait for my Khan. 5 years wait. December 2024. -------------------------------- Mod Note The Dollshe Waitlist can now be found here: Dollshe waiting list - DoA BJD Wiki | Den of Angels
Ok, you're right buuuut... Arsene is gorgeous haha I guess I'm not so worried cuz I've only been waiting for like five months for mine! I did send a message to Bjdivas but I'm still not sure!!! I want the Arsene body for Saint, for my Arsene I ordered the Mystic Pose Plus body but I've read it's not so great, also the Arsene body is gorgeous and has amazing details... What do I do?? Haha
I say go for it. Do the thing. I am waiting, myself, just cause I don't want to have even MORE layaways in case something happens with work shutting down due to the virus. I can handle the ones I have, but I don't want to add more till I know everything is gonna be steady again. Plus I need to save for a Ringdoll K. Hopefully there will be another good sale from Mr. Dollshe after this one. . . lord knows he didn't discontinue anything yet lol. Don't think that means what he thinks it means.
@Emma DD White Oh that's so hard! I hope he ships soon! @lorenav6661 I switched both my ordered Arsene and Adonis dolls to Arsene (originally pose body for both) through BJDivas after I bought an Arsene secondhand. I really like the posing of the Arsene body. I use it for about 5 floating heads that I swap out.
That gives me hope! I am waiting since last May for my Arsene. Not sure what to do about the two Arsene heads. The new one will match the new body color, but I love the faceup I did for the secondhand one. Hmmmm.
Hmm....I wonder if my Arsene will be making an appearance any time soon then. Mine is also the big one...
You guys scared me for the long waiting list . I really love Bermann then I back and forth to the dollshe’s website ten times and couldn’t decide to purchase my shopping cart or not . One year - 2 years - 3 years ...it’s a long time to wait, with that time I can buy other dolls from other artists. How can I just imagine him and wait. Oh my gosh but Bermann so handsome . Does anyone gives me any advice please.
Now that they've shipped out the Dianas, it seems like they're moving on to the Arsenes? Are they shipping them out by sculpt? I'm still crossing my fingers for my Saint and Bermann to come home soon. I ordered them in August. @GreyNia I understand your Bermann love because I love that boy too I decided to bite the bullet and get mine because I couldn't resist the price... I've also found that focusing on playing with the rest of my crew while I wait is really helpful On the other hand, you could try finding one on the second hand market if you don't want to wait. They'd tend to pop up from time to time, but aren't usually as cheap as the Dollshe discounted prices!
@kagami Yessss, he’s soooo handsome right?thank you so much for your advice. I’m still considering order another guy (same price with normal package: 1 body, 1 head) or just pay my Bermann and forgetting to the day I receive him. I wish Mr. DollShe sold 1 body + 1head then delivered dolls immediately after 2 or 3 months. Oh, and sorry for another question: Will honey resin take a long long time than others oriental resin? Because I’m choosing between Peach Fresh (honey) and copper oriental (pure). Which one is better
@rebeccag12363 They're really baffling @GreyNia I'd say if you plan to get him to just forget that he's coming and then be pleasantly surprised when you get the shipping notice! I'm currently on 7months and counting~ It doesn't say anywhere on their website that honey skin takes longer to produce, just that it will cost more and is more durable! It's ultimately up to you which one you prefer as well. Check out this instagram. The owner as 2 honey resin Dollshe dolls (Arsene and Diana). This post also shows 2 honey resin dolls vs. the same doll in Copper Oriental! Visually, it's all about the way the honey resin catches the light, I think.. Some people like the translucency, while others are fine with standard resin. I have a Copper Oriental doll and I love his colour so much, but have never seen a honey resin in person for comparison.. I ordered my Saint in Copper Oriental and my Bermann in Oriental.
*sigh* I should have known that their "2-3 weeks" isn't actually 2-3 weeks in the real world. That was a month ago. Well, here's to watching the Arsenes roll in then. *raises glass*
I'm in for the long haul waiting on a dollshe Diana and arsene in copper oriental. I took the long layaway from bjdivas because why not lol
I don't think the big sales will end anytime soon! I've been wanting a Loong Soul doll but they're way more expensive than Dollshe dolls with these crazy discounts, that's what makes me think I should get another one, the sooner the better since it takes them forever to make them haha. I live in México, things are okay here for now, to be honest I feel like things will get better soon, and I really hope they do. Maybe it's the smartest thing to do and wait a little bit before getting another layaway! I already switched my Adonis for an Arsene haha feel bad for changing my mind so much lately, it's been so long since I ordered and maybe I'm next on the waiting list don't wanna go down on the list haha I have no idea how it works, but I also really like Saint and having both bodies could be fun! I could do a little video to show you guys the differences between them, coming soon 2025. I'm gonna wait for BJDivas' reply, I'm thinking I might get him, I'm almost done with my Arsene layaway
@kagami OMG! That’s amazingly help! The first time I saw honey skin was Dollshe website, the real lighting on your instagram link gave me another felling. I don’t like transparent effect that much. Now I clear my mind and relax thanks to your wonderful suggestions.
@Yumeko-chan It might be shelter-in-place orders slowing the mail down. I know the shutdowns are slowing things here in my city, at least.
I had a shipping notice last Monday for my Tian Bao eyes, then nothing. They left 2 days later on Wednesday. It took 5 days to get here on the east coast due to the weekend. It was also delayed en route for a day. Probably would have been 3 days. How long have you been waiting?
@Yumeko-chan from my experience, it's quite common for tracking numbers to not update for a few days lately, due to the virus thing. It doesn't mean that the package isn't on the way, it just means delays in the tracking system
Posting here for the first time... I am currently waiting for my Dollshe Diana. I asked them when they can ship it and they said after 5 months. However, due to COVID-19 and S.Korea being one of the highest cases of people infected by the virus, there could be some delay too. I am not sure if S.Korea is already in lockdown... I just hope everyone is safe and I don't mind waiting for it... Btw, in my country we're in a lockdown
Tracking number finally updated. It really didn't get sent out until this morning *headdesk* Well, at least now she's truly on her way home!
So my wedding in Mexico was officially postponed due to the coronavirus, I am totally heartbroken, kinda just sent a message to Bjdivas telling them I want a Classic Maxi Saint to cheer me up, it's starting to get crazy in here, it's scary, I hope you're all safe!!
I was hesitating on buying Diana and Amanda from Dollshe then I realised I was on paypal for some reason... So ... joining you for some waiting, now. <.< #weak
I am officially a member of the one year club! I ordered my Saint in oriental a year ago today. When will my son return from the war? And 3 months in for my fashion Khan. I'm not expecting him any time soon though haha.
I'm waiting on a Saint and a Khan, too! (both fashion size). It'll be a year in a week. I ordered Saint in pale and Khan in oriental copper. I hope I don't have a bad taste from all the waiting and wind up resenting the company. Has anyone had that problem? Like you wait so long that when you finally get them you're just bitter as hell about it? lol I'm nervoussss
Haha! I won't know until I get them. I can let you know then. I just hope I live to see them because I'm old!
lol I'm old, too! I thought I was supposed to get more patient and wise as I get older, but that's not happening for these dolls. lol
Oh god no! There's such limited time! It's all about no time! So no will power and no patience! I'm still wise so I know there's no time left! Hahahahahz.
@SophiePuffs I'm actually getting more and more excited for Saint. I ordered him because he was such a good deal, but now I know exactly what character of mine he will be, how I want him styled, and I have a custom pair of eyes for him! He may let me down when he arrives, but I want him now more than ever. Khan is kinda out of sight; out of mind for me right now. I want him to be the gentleman admirer to my fashion Ausley, but I don't have his character worked out yet. He's also in copper oriental and will be gorgeous I hope. I love that color! I'm not old, but I'm very impatient! I've kind of gone to a sort of Zen state about this though. No clue how.
just got my first invoice for my Saint's 12 month layaway haha I already knew about the super long wait times so maybe that makes it better for me, I'm expecting to wait for at least a year for each boy, but I'm not sure if I'd be mad and bitter if they take over 3 years, I probably would be. Right now I'm really excited about them though, looking at other owners pictures almost daily thinking what I'll do with them when they get here. I have a question for the people who have the mystic body! Does the penis part comes with the body? Whenever I see pictures of box openings they don't have it but I'm not sure if they have to censor them or if they don't come with the body.
Yeah so the Dollshe waiting times make me so bitter that out of this bitterness I end up throwing more money at them every single time. Please, can somebody explain to me precisely why I don't need a classic maxi Arsene? I'm already paying for Adonis, Amanda and two Dianas, I seriously don't have the space for any more big dolls, and yet here I am... Haven't ordered an Arsene YET, but with the way my mind works, it seems a matter of time.
Ahhhh @lorenav6661 that's not helpful AT ALL! I already have an Arsene in fashion size... I really, really don't need one in classic size. But. You're right, he is so very pretty.
@lorenav6661 Yes, the mystic body does come with at least one, I actually didn't look in the bag to see if there was more than one, though. It also comes with a little cap piece so you can choose whether to actually use it. It's attached with a thin string that's strung up through the head
This thread is the absolute worst for my self control! You guys were supposed to stop me, not encourage me! ... And I only just noticed fashion Saint is available again. I need fashion Saint, so... Yeah, I'll probably make another Dollshe order soon.
Thus proving where men's brains really are connected to. . . (joking, I mean no offense to actual intelligent males because I know you exist). I'm in the same boat @Melkore I'm trying to convince myself I don't need to get a classic Arsene cause I already have a fashion one. . but then I have too many ideas for what I'd do with him. Well. . I'll try and get at least a couple more of my layaways paid off and dealt with and then see if there's time to order the special package still. . .
@Yumeko-chan she's lovely! Can't wait for my girl to finally come home. It would give me something to fiddle with while everything is shut down!
That's great, I don't like the cap piece, it looks weird but migh took better with the clothes one hehe thanks!! Any idea if the special package ones come with more penises? I feel ridiculous asking that! Same thing happened to me and now I have a 12 month layaway during an economic crisis haha but they'll make me happy... Someday... They're gonna be my first 1/3 bjd's, don't have any 1/4 either but they're probably really cute!! Yeah yeah, you should get both dolls, definitely haha or maybe wait a little bit to see if it's still safe to order from Dollshe, I'm sure there will be many more sales Yeah, maybe that was an intended metaphor when he designed the dolls haha I'm really curious about how that particular articulation works hahaha She's beautiful, do you mind if I ask when you placed your order? I wanted a Diana too so badly hahaha
Still waiting for my Fashion David to show up, but I don't think that will happen and I can forget about getting any money back, here's hoping Dollshe sends my order to BJDivas, cause my patience for everything running out fast!!
Oh, I comeback to this room and also this website just to check DollShe waiting list since I joined this waiting universal . Let’s check every 3 months . Good luck to everyone! Keep healthy and happy I love DollShe body and smooth jointed points. Then it’s worth it.
Hey peeps. Just checking in. Some crazy stuff going on, so I haven't checked DoA in a while. Plus I decided not to buy any doll-related things for Lent, so with that and the virus (including showing symptoms, but couldn't get tested here in California because they're saving the tests for severe cases only), dolls got pushed to the back of my mind. Anyone got any updates on Classic Maxi Amanda, especially in lighter Pure colors?
@Emma DD White @ElizabethStiles EMS has temporarily halted all inbound mail by air to North America due to extremely limited inbound flights (COVID-19 settling and becoming the new epicenter in America, but this also impacts Canada). They anticipate normal business to resume in May. I was offered mail by sea cargo, but that takes 3+ months to arrive, likely more in these uncertain times. It's probably best to have dealers/makers hold doll items, especially medium to large boxes, until the post resumes normal functions.
