Xaga Doll Waiting Room V.1

Jul 30, 2012

    1. I want to know what's going on also. I really want to just sit my boy on my lap and cuddle him while watching some anime on my computer lol. For me it is NOW about 93 days sense I ordered him in total and about 68 days (I'm bumping ahead a day sense it's late in the afternoon.) sense we all ordered. I've been waiting for my DC order longer than Alex though, but I'd rather have Alex right now. I just got my Volks carrier today too and I was seeing how many dolls I could fit into the SD bag with pillows, head protectors, etc. when I got the thought that I wanted to try to put Alex in it to see how much padding I could put in or leave out to keep him safe. I want to take him and (when I order the new Luts KDF Coco) his sister Taz on vacation with me, I think there will be great photo opportunities down in Tennessee.

      And YUP! No e-mail back for me either! Like I said, they probably don't even check their English e-mail accounts.
       
    2. I think that they don't check it either, but I already told myself if I don't get a shipping notification by May 5, I can go to my plan B. I really hope that Alex and Alma's body come home soon. Lesson learned.
       
    3. What's plan B? Wish I had a plan B lol. (Kazuki's plan B: "Taking everyone in the Xaga Doll waiting room and booking it to China to see what's going on and hopefully get our dolls.") ROFL, I wish.
       
    4. My plan B would be to get Alma another body from my list. But, if I had that kind of money and time, going to China would be Plan C.
       
    5. Some good news for those people waiting for email replies - I just got an email from Xagadoll (the one @163.com) this afternoon about an enquiry for the Red Obsidian line so hopefully you will all hear something from them soon also!
       
    6. Yup...heard something from them alright. All I got was this,

      "Yes, yes, but America agent this place an order time late."

      So I don't understand what they meant. So apparently MOC ordered late or something? That's not right.
      I'm done waiting, his sister will be ordered next weekend and she will probably be home before he is! They need a better English rep or at least learn to say what they want sense we don't understand them!:(
       
    7. Kind of look like they used google translate or something ^^''
      Would be easier if one of us knew chinese and could ask them in chinese then.
      really hope we soon hear that they are done...i want my little girl home!


       
    8. I don't understand either. I'm done waiting for the body and the email. Her body will just get here when it does, and if it doesn't; Plan B starts. I just hope her commissioned clothing still fits regardless.
       
    9. -Sighs- I feel kinda cheated and upset now. My sisters Only-Doll girl shipped from the company and is on it's way to MOC...while we have been waiting LONGER than that. I'm happy she gets her doll but I did tell her yesterday that when the box comes in and she's opening it I'll be crying so that's why I told her no video taking or people get to see me bawl rofl. I can't hardly look at box openings anymore either or I tear up. I feel happy for her, but I think we should get our dolls too. I felt that something good was going to happen today, and I was sort of right, my sister is getting her doll in...while we are not.
       
    10. I feel the same way, Kazuki933. I cried about this last night because I just don't get why it's not shipping yet. I'm depressed about it because I really don't want to use my Plan B if I shouldn't have to. I still hope for something good to happen, but I don't know how much longer I can hold onto that feeling.
      Edit: I just send MOC a tweet about the Xaga Doll shipment, so hopefully, something good will come out of it.
       
    11. I hope so too. I think it's ridiculous to be waiting long when I only waited my first time two months for one of their dolls. At least we know not to order from them in the beginning of the year. I fear that when MOC submitted their order to Xaga Doll that it got lost in their orders or something and they never started on it. I know I'll be even more upset when my sis gets her shipping notice for her Ddoll girl as well. TWO dolls and not a one for us. I'm gonna go into the pity party corner with all of you now :(.
       
    12. Don't be cry, Kazuki. I'm pissed out of my mind now about this, but at the same time, I'm sure that everything will work out and if not, you get a full refund back after 27 weeks and no ship out. If I were you, I would start on a backup plan as a happiness-ensured policy. I just now know that I won't ever preorder from MOC again. I should go direct honestly, but I was trying to save money since it was a friend that bought the body for me as a graduation gift.
       
    13. MOC is not a bad dealer, I've bought plenty of dolls through them without a fall-through. It's the company on the other end of the dealer that can have the problems. I think that no matter if you went through a dealer or not it still would have been a long wait. From what I know in the DC waiting room there are people who bought their dolls straight from the company and through dealers as well and no matter what they waited forever anyways. From what I hear Xaga Dolls sculptor was someone MOC knew before hand and that person had sculpted dolls for a different company that they sold through in the past. I know my order will come in sometime but that does not mean I can't get mad/upset about it either. I don't think I would take the refund after the 27 weeks are up though just because the Elva boy sculpt is one of the sculpts I've been pining over ever sense his teaser picture came out. Besides, my happiness insured policy includes ordering Alex's sister from Luts this weekend and I KNOW it will only be about a month and a few weeks wait for her.
      I think the day that I get the e-mail that Alex (and everyone else's dolls) are on their way to MOC I'll be screaming and running around the house like a fool. That's one of the things that makes the wait worth it though I guess. I'm pretty sure my family knows my 'dolly dance' by now...screaming and jumping uncontrollably with a big goofy smile on my face lol.
       
    14. i have just sent xagadoll en email and tried the message board on their homepage to see if we can get a clearer/better answer ^^
       
    15. I guess our e-mail prompting worked a bit. They updated their site info and pictures and even added the jointed hands I was looking at about a month or two ago along with adding some of their clothes line to the site as well! At least they are kinda listening, though I wish they'd tell us a straight forward answer.

      Edit: Something to kinda peeve me though. Someone on that Chinese site ordered an Anthony and posted the box opening on the 14th of this month. I don't know exactly when they ordered but it I was like "Really?!". Whatever, we are still "Waiting, for our dolls to come. What has-". A little Asenva quote to 'fit our bill' and to raise spirits rofl.

      Also, I'm not too sure they check their twitter much. I know their facebook has a LOT of activity so it might be a better idea to ask there Gothic-Diurnal-Hime.
       
    16. Yeah....you're right Kazuki. This is not MOC's fault, but still, I don't think I will order anything at the beginning of the year again from any company due to the rush and after this experience or at least change their policy on how preorders are handled just for the peace of mind of their customers. I never said that MOC was a bad company because they aren't and I've ordered stuff from them before without fail too. But, here's a kicker for me, I want the new xagadoll yosd body with the heart shaped knees and large bust so bad! I agree about being upset about this whole thing because I am too and I hope that email is on the way because I need to do my happy dance (lots of dubstep and spazzing out hard while screaming and jumping around like it's a 1999 house party). I need something to wipe the drown off on my face. And I will leave MOC a polite message on their Facebook and I recommend you do the same to see if something good comes out of it. I hope so. *cross fingers* *blow on a single eyelash* *wish on a falling star, first raindrop, etc* WE need some luck, lol. I really like this company and eventually, I would love to see them up there with the other companies in terms of a huge following. (sorry, serious tangent!)
      <> Harin<>: I hope we get a clearer/better answer too. I really would like to know what's up.
       
    17. I remember asking a question to MOC I think right before I bought my first doll from Xaga Doll. Here is the e-mail I got back from them.


      "Xaga Doll is owned by a sculptor who used to sculpt for another BJD company that we work with. He started Xaga Doll with the help and blessing of the company he used to sculpt for; they cast the dolls for him, (unlike most BJD companies they have their own casting factory). The company also has an investor in Hong Kong. Xaga Doll is based in Hong Kong, (that is where is sculptor lives), and the dolls are cast in near-by Shenzhen."

      So apparently Xaga Doll has their own casting factory (I think they share it with the other company the sculptor was apart of though?).
      I looked up the weather in Shenzhen and it looks like it'll be raining all week ;_;. No doll production then I guess.

      Edit: I was looking at the date that I ordered and the date MOC send me the e-mail that my order had been sent for my first doll from Xaga, and if I think I'm right then we might get e-mails this coming week? I had gotten that e-mail on Sep. 28, 2012 and I had originally ordered on July 30, 2012. I think my order was submitted on that day or the day after that. Just me contemplating and hoping.
       
    18. This is very interesting. I didn't know that Xaga had it's own casting factory? I also looking up the 10 day weather forecast for Shenzhen and the next available day for doll production is Sunday or Monday of next week.

      Edit: Emails this week maybe? Be still my beating-like-a-drum-n'-bass-drumline heart!! I hope this is true!!
       
    19. I want it to be true for sure. There is no telling though. I can never hope almost anymore...nope, can't do that >.>. My thinking is that sense they own their own casting factory they should be on time because they don't share the same place like DC and DZ does. I don't think they had a winter event sense I never got wind of anything. I guess weather has just been bad for them for months. We might get e-mails next week or we may not...depends on when they will get their butts into gear and send stuff out lol.
      Also a little off topic with your heart (and that drum lol), I played flute for my competition marching band in high school, I enjoyed it for a while.

      Ok Xaga Doll, I think it's time to release our pretty dollies, please?!
       
    20. OT part first: That's very cool that you were in marching band in high school; I was a soprano in the choir, one of 3 and I played around with it some in college but quit due to my major. Now I DJ for pay.
      Back to doll stuff: Xaga Doll needs to release our resin kids to us very soon! I'm hoping for that email to go ahead and pop up in my inbox from my GO leader very soon.
       
    21. Ok...I kinda added up the working days sense I had also been counting weekends like a dumb dumb. I think I just like to have all my days lol. So here we are at about 52 working days? I think I added everything right. Another 8 working days and it'll hit the two month mark for that.
       
    22. I counted in Saturdays until they discontinued mail on the weekends when I counted.
       
    23. MOC never get back to you?
       
    24. Nope, nothing on the email, twitter or facebook fronts. Still waiting patiently.
       
    25. not sure if you guys understand how long it can at times take for a doll to get to you...took over 3 monthes to get my newest soom doll. i ordered my girl(a xaga nono) in feb so i'm honestly not expecting her till june....i am hoping she'll be at mint on a card by june frist so when i go there i can pick her and the doll that is to be her mother up togeather and save on shiping then XD.
       
    26. No, we understand. I think I'm impatient because I didn't wait this long for one of their dolls last time. It's actually been four months for me just because I ordered a month before my order was submitted (sadness right there lol). I have an AE doll on order that I know will take around 5 to maybe 7 months to complete so I think I've been patient. I was actually contemplating business days earlier today and as of right now we are at 52. Not too long before it hits 60 and then maybe a shipping notice sometime after that (excitement). I'd give Xaga Doll now 3 months because of the business days, which I think will even it out to 2 months in business days.

      I think another thing is that I didn't have anyone to talk to the first time in this waiting room because I was one of the first few people who decided to buy one of their dolls right when MOC put them up the first time so I didn't have someone to freak out with lol.
      Also, I have a Nono as well (boy version) and he's so cute >.<! Glad you decided to get a Nono arlais.
       
    27. yeah i saw her and knew she was prefect :) and we still maybe in the same shipping thing if you ordered so early from mint on a card....:)
       
    28. I think we are. I ordered in January but my (and a few other peoples) order was not submitted until February 6th I believe.
      Who knows, in a few more years we'll finally maybe figure out an average turn-out time for their dolls.
       
    29. Lol. I hope we can figure out their wait time down to a science one day.
       
    30. I'm joining the waiting room too, Just ordered a blank Kimi

      My order wasn't placed through MoC, as taxes from USA to UK are killer. I used a Chinese agent and the order was placed 13th April. I was given a 50 day estimated wait time. No mention of whether that's 50 business days or not. Really hope it doesn't run over that estimate too much, I'm so excited to get this dolly!!!
       
    31. That's so exciting for you! Can't wait to see her!
      Tomorrow it'll be 55 business days for some of us here. I got a faceup on my boy so I'm hoping, sense you said 50 days for a blank doll, that we'll get our dolls sometime in the first few weeks of May maybe. I was hoping sooner (like this week) but if your dealer told you that (and I KNOW with a faceup it'll take longer) then we can only expect to wait just a tiny bit longer, hopefully not too much longer though.
       
    32. Welcome, welcome!! Congrats on getting Kimi!! I just love her legs and knees. I'm tempted to get one, just for the body.
       
    33. Any shipping out emails yet?
       
    34. MOC said yesterday to me on facebook that they still haven't heard from Xagadoll
       

    35. Gothic-Diurnal-Hime
      : Nope, nothing.

      <>Hirin<>: Well, at least MOC commented back saying that. It might take Xaga Doll a few more days........or a week like we had to wait......to get an e-mail back from them too. -sighs-
       
    36. yeah they still haven't answered my email too, i even tried using their message board but they haven't answered back to that either.
       
    37. Same here, and that was over a week ago.

       
    38. Well, besides this waiting that's killing all of us.......
      New subject lol. I was going around the marketplace the other day and I found something that would look so awesome on Alex! :D
      It's some type of harem outfit and it's a pretty red. I'll be putting different touches to it to make it "Alex" but other than that, I love it. I still plan on doing little stuff for him with the chainmail but I've been thinking of doing a sort of belt with it for him for quite a few weeks. Ahhh, soon my lovely, you will be mine rofl.
       
    39. Still waiting....but at least Alma's head is on the way home and I have started researching for her cosplay outfit.
       
    40. Ohhhh, what series is she cosplaying from/ what character?
       


    41. Once Upon A Time as the evil queen hopefully. But, for Catching Fire, Johanna Mason.
       
    42. Nice characters! I'll definitely want to see Alma when the cosplays are finished too!
       
    43. Lol. I can't wait for her head to get here, but as for her body, well, that's just say I'm still on the fence.
      Edit: Alma's head is here, and I post pics of her on my Flickr.
       

    44. Gothic-Diurnal-Hime
      : Really?! I looked on your flicker page and all I saw was her blank sleeping FL head? You sent her for a faceup, correct? I want to see!

      I'm now just holding onto the hope of maybe a shipping notice at the end of this month or the beginning of next month -sighs-. I know my Luts girl will probably be shipped at least by the end of this month which makes me sort of happy. I don't want to run the risk of Alex shipping in June because I'll be on vacation for a few days...and that'd be just my luck for him to be shipped while I'm gone...and I want to take him with me along with his sister maybe lol. I ended up getting a cool outfit for him in the end and I kinda don't want to trick it out until he gets here so I know what will look good on him.
      I heard from my sister that Ddoll is sending out her doll this week after only a month or so. It's kinda interesting, I want to see her new girl because I like their dolls (and I have one) and I also want to see if there is any amount, no matter how little it would be, of yellowing on my girl Maria. We'll see. I also want to compare Alex to Yuuri (Xaga Doll Elva and Nono) to see if there is any color change at all. I'm not really expecting anything (Got Yuuri last October) but it's always interesting to look at.
      I think I've gotten to the stage where my brain thinks it's kinda a good thing I don't have Alex right now...it creates more time to say to my mom "I don't have anymore dolls on my shelf." lol.
       
    45. My flickr page is private, but you can get a guest pass. What's your flickr name? I hope that we have our doll ship out soon; now that I've graduated, I have nothing but time to wait. I just hope something happens soon.
       
    46. My flicker is StarxOfxAgesX14 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/92115324@N08/). I didn't know it was private, I just clicked on the one after it lists all the dolls your waiting for lol.
      Yah, I have nothing but time to wait as well. I just don't want something to happen in June where a doll ships the three days I'm away. I'll probably take my laptop or something with me just in case.
       
    47. I'm only waiting on Alma's body. The other dolls are at home, safe and sound with me lol. I should clarify that on flickr somehow, and I also just added you as a friend on flickr. But I agree, I would just hate if I were on vacation and my doll ships out. Puts a downer on the vacation imo.
       
    48. Oh my! Alma looks so pretty! It's nice to see her home. She looks like a spitfire lol.
       
    49. Thanks! She is my ultimate grail doll sculpt and is a little spitfire, but then again so are my other two girls, so I guess that's the thing with my girl dolls. She's also insanely lad-back too. I think she's fine without her body! :sweat
       
    50. Yah, she don't need a body lol! She's rocking it by just being a floating head rofl. ;)
      I was actually bad and decided to buy a Luts SD summer 2012 event head from someone when I saw it...I think he might become one of my characters, Tuesday Crow. He was originally going to be a different doll from Luts, but I'll see how it goes with his faceup and then I can say for sure if he is or not. If it comes down to it, then I'll invest in a body for him someday. It's kinda a good thing he has no body right now, because if he does become Tuesday I can only imagine the harassment he'd cause Yuuri rofl. By just being a head all he can do is talk the talk lol. I'll see how his head matches the resin of my other dolls so if I do end up getting a body for him in the future I'll have a few choices. Yay for floating heads though, I have two now. It actually makes me want to do a photo shoot with a few of my dolls playing soccer with the heads hehe. :lol:

      I'm really excited for all the dolls I am getting and am especially excited when I get to see pictures of everyone else's dolls. :D
       
    51. Same here!! I'm excited to get Alma finished and to start on the permanent and final version of Uzi. Now, I have to revise Alma's relation to my SD boy, Mase.
       
    52. Umm... I'm not sure how people who have been waiting for dolls longer than me will feel about this, but my Miki is in the taobao agent's hands. She sent pictures to me. I just paid the international shipping, so I should have her very soon.
       
    53. Oh really? Was that through the xaga taobao shop? mine shouldn't be too far behind then.

      i'm presuming you got her with no face up? Seems to take longer than the actual manufacturing.
       
    54. Yeah, I got her blank through the xaga taobao shop. I ordered on April 1st, I wasn't expecting her for at least another month. They quoted me 30 business days for a blank, and that's about what they took to process.
       
    55. To those that ordered through a Taobao agent (specifically Kimi/Miki), did it end up cheaper than a US dealer?

      Also, has anyone found any chinese owner pics of Kimi or Miki? I'm torn on which one to order!
       
    56. Same price pretty much once you consider agent fees and that it cost more to ship from China than from someone in the US. If you're outside of the US and there is no dealer in your country and agent would prolly be cheaper.
       
    57. For me living in the UK it works out cheaper even with fees and shipping to order from China. Partly due to the exchange rate from British Pound to Chinese Yuan being better than to US Dollar.
       
    58. That is so messed up, honestly. I smell something super sketchy. I'm mad with Xaga Doll at this point but congrats on getting your Miki!! I want to see pics.
       
    59. I'm a bit sad about this as well. I don't think a faceup should take toooooo long...then again it' the 67th or so working day as of today for some of us. Like I said, I just hope my doll gets here before June.
      On another note, my sister's Ddoll she ordered was shipped yesterday...with faceup and everything. She ordered two dolls, one two months ago and one a month ago. She got one of them last month and her Ddoll was finished and sent yesterday. I think I'ma gonna steal her Ddoll girl for a little while so she can play with her cousin, Maria lol. I've practically given up on hoping every time I see a new e-mail in my inbox though. Sad thing is, Alex is one of the dolls I really wanted...so bad in fact that I ordered him the very same day MOC posted him on their site lol. Not too much longer I hope...stop holding the dollies captive!
       
    60. I think things take longer through dealers in general. Ie, one month from Resinsoul direct vs two months from them through DDE (personal experience). I'm sure you won't be stiffed on your dolls, just that things take longer through dealers.

      ETA: From being in numerous Soom waiting rooms I can also tell you that for doll companies, first come doesn't always equal first served. I have NO IDEA how they decide ship order.
