DollShe Crafts has announced about their dolls discontinue. There are the last 3 chances to order old and new dolls we loved so long. I was absolutely sure these dolls will be on sale for ages. They are so popular and the reduced prices were so acceptable. My dream to buy the Mister Perfection dear Saint was on the line of my featured purchases. But bad news as always come unexpectedly.
I have noticed there is a big interest in a comparision of the new Saint and the old Saint dolls. I'm posting here material I have collected some time ago. All photos are not mine. I have found them on various websities at variuos times and posting here just for information. Look for more photos at the page bottom, under the cut.

So what you're saying is we think we are getting a head like the 2005 heads when in fact what we will actually be getting is more like the 2009 head!!!
Come on Dollshe you really need to get the pictures of these heads up and clarify this for everyone, this is really terrible business practice, and if you don't hurry up and make it clear with pictures you are going to have a lot of really angry customers on your hands.
DollShe craft: Dear Raegan, we should have provided exact details when we first launched the event. The Saint we have available through the special event is the one we made a long time ago. We do not currently have the very first original sculpt. There weren't many dolls that were cast with the very first original sculpt anyway. We did some modification work to the original sculpt to enhance its sculptural integrity. Only the old Saint head is available through this event. The old Saint is the removable headcap type. The new Saint is the removable faceplate type.
We will upload pictures by the end of this week. We apologize for the confusion. Please let us know should you have further questions or concerns. Thank you for your interest in DollShe craft.
Have a nice day. Sincerely yours.

He's currently busy putting the finishing touches on the new girl. The photos for the re-release "old" sculpts will taken when we take photos of the new girl doll. We're sorry about the lack of detailed information for the dolls we have on sale. We will try to update the shopping mall selection as soon as possible.
The photos of the Old Saint vary depending on the camera angle and the way the finishing touches were put on the eyes-some were made slightly larger than others.

* Final Chance to Order Existing Lineup of DollShe craft Dolls: Round 1
We are discontinuing all the dolls in our existing lineup. Before they are discontinued, we will be accepting orders at a 30% discounted rate over three rounds. After the three rounds, all dolls will be discontinued. Spare doll parts will also be offered at a 30% discount. We will be aiming for a turnaround time frame of 2-3 months, only taking a limited number of orders per round.
* Applicable Dolls
Heads: Orijean, Rosen, Saint, Bernard, Pabo
Temporarily Discontinued Heads: OE Hound, SA Hound, IM Hound, OE Husky, SA Husky, OE Van, OE Old Saint, SA Old Saint, OE Old Bernard, SA Old Bernard
- Please ask for a special order form if you are interested in ordering a discontinued head. We are not taking orders for Bermann, which was released as a limited edition doll.
- Discontinued heads go well with the Old Body. The discontinued heads are compatible with other bodies as well, but the way they are connected to the bodies is structurally different from how they are connected to the Old Body.
- We are in the process of restoring the original sculpts of the discontinued heads. Orders that include discontinued heads will take around a month longer.
Body: DS28M 35s Body, DS28M 32s Body, DS18M Rhythmos Body, DS18M Pure Body, DS18M Old Body (Old Hound Body)
