I agree. I love these little creatures and they don't get nearly enough camera time. There's a Racoon supposed to be coming some time soon (hopefully), and a gray mouse sometime in the summer (more likely fall). Unfortunately the only place I can get them has such super-long waiting times, and then they still come many months after the estimated arrival dates.

I agree with Donna......Mr. Ropuha really is turning into quite a ladies toad!

But *sigh* about the only place you can get these amazing creatures having such long waits.
Good luck in deciding if you take part again ((hugs)) xxx

I'm completely turned off of ordering any more dolls from JpopDolls because of their ridiculous waiting periods, but unfortunately it's the only place to get these little creatures by Whispering Grass. I paid for the Racoon back in October, and their 'estimated delivery date' said April/May. But I don't count on it. I'll see when he eventually shows up. And then there's a gray mouse I paid for in January, with an estimated delivery date of June. Yeah, right! Maybe this fall? I try not to think about it, or I'll get too stressed, and just try to accept that they will come when they come.

I totally agree with you about being turned off by the ridiculous wait times.
I can't see me taking part in another for a very long time!

Eight to ten months is an eternity when you get older and have so many health issues. If I want to buy a doll, then I'd like 'immediate gratification' thank you very much. Like with Iplehouse - they can make a doll to order and have it in my hands in less than a month. Now that's customer service!

I do like Talyssa, and feel a slight pang of regret for not ordering her, but maybe some day I'll consider trading one of my Laylas, or Nelly for her.

I didn't order coffee tan Talyssa because I knew I could not go through the stress of waiting another 9 months for a doll.

Same with me and the Fair version. My blood pressure shoots up just thinking of ordering a doll from them, but for some reason the little critters don't bother me the same way. Although, ask me again if they still aren't here't months past their 'estimated arrival dates'.
