It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.Dismiss Notice

The 'Culture' of the BJD hobby can generally be broken down into three groups/types of people, but people can and will be a mix of the various groups (and these are gross generalizations).
Collectors
People who buy BJDs due to their Monitary value.
- Scalpers and Flippers, are generally grouped into the 'Collectors' area, and so Collectors can be seen in a negative light. There is NOTHING wrong with simply being a collector of BJDs.
Common 'Collector' activities include (but are not limited to):
- Collecting dolls purely for their Market Place Value.
- Collecting dolls due to their limited availablity.
- Collecting dolls all of a certain type (to create a 'collection').
Artists
People who buy BJDs for their Artistic value.
Common 'Artists' activities include (but are not limited to):
- Having/Using BJDs as artistic models (Photos, Drawings, etc...)
- Creating Art using BJDs (Modding, Customization, etc...)
- Using a BJD to display/model your art (Face-up Artists, Clothing Designers, etc...)
Hobbiests
People who buy BJDs to be part of/into the Hobby/interaction of/with BJDs.
Common 'Hobbiests' activites include (but are not limited to):
- 'Playing' with your BJD. (Dressing & Undressing the doll, etc...)
