1. 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.

    1. I noticed that there are categories in photo reference (I think) which group bjds by age group. I was curious as to the age of other members' bjds.

      I've included a poll, where you can choose the age that most of your bjds are (I suppose this would be the mode, if we're getting mathy), but I was hoping that maybe in the comments people would break down their collection by age (or their favorite dolls in the collection, whatever).

      Here are the categories:
      Baby
      Ankle Biter*
      Child*
      Tween
      Teenager
      20s
      30s
      40s
      50s
      60s and up (human life span)
      110s (rare for a human, but still possible)
      1,000/10^3
      1,000,000/10^6 (mammals are hundreds of millions)
      1,000,000,000/10^9 (universe is tens of billions (13.8), earth is billions (4.5), life a few billion (3.5))
      n/a (for those of you that have an ageless doll)

      *I wanted to have something to separate younger and older children, because I feel that there are some big developmental milestones in these groups. I'll let you determine what each category means

      What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?

      Do you have a bjd that is older/younger than most customers/the sculptor/whatever view the sculpt?

      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are?
       
    2. What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?
      I like BJDs in their late teens and early twenties, as I find those are the characters I most enjoy writing (end of high school/college students). I do, however, have a couple younger characters, just because those sculpts were young-looking (Littlefees, in particular). Even then, they're like 10-11.

      Do you have a bjd that is older/younger than most customers/the sculptor/whatever view the sculpt?
      I guess my Littlefee Mio being 11 is a bit older than many view the sculpt? And maybe my DC Queena being 22-23 too, given she's a "kid" doll?

      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are?
      Most of my BJDs are around my age, except for the couple younger ones...though even the ones around my age are usually a couple years older than me. Not sure why.
       
    3. What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?
      Most of my characters are in their twenties except for those that are not human and for Piers who is supposed to be in his thirties.

      Do you have a bjd that is older/younger than most customers/the sculptor/whatever view the sculpt?
      I think with most of my BJDs you can tell what age they're supposed to be. There are a few characters of mine that are supposed to be really old but they have the face of a twenty year old.

      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are?
      My bjds are around my age and older. There is one doll I'm working on but it's just a child version of one of my characters.
       
    4. My answer for the poll was 20s.

      What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?

      I guess I have a favorite age range in that I prefer more mature looking BJDs for my collection.


      Do you have a bjd that is older/younger than most customers/the sculptor/whatever view the sculpt?

      I'm not sure but I think pretty much everyone would think of them as in their 20s. Some could look like teenagers to others possibly.


      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are?
      They are a couple of years older than me but basically the same age. Age is a way I relate to them.
       
    5. Most of mine are elemental-type characters, so even though they look young, some of them are quite old in human terms. One, however, is only around two years old in our years, although she's fully grown. It makes finding clothes a little bit tricky sometimes.
       
    6. Most of my characters are in their late teens to late 20s unless otherwise stated, expect for the ones who remain the age they died as. Kyrian is the exception to this rule, though. For several reasons he usually appears as his 17-year old self, but carries the personality and mentality of his actual age, 26.
       
    7. This is a hard question to answer because my dolls' ages are all over the place. Angelo and Lily are in their 20s, Lizzie and JJ are older teenagers, and the rest are essentially ageless.

      Perhaps add the option for ageless and maybe make it possible to select more than one?
       
    8. What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?
      Late teens/early twenties.

      Do you have a bjd that is older/younger than most customers/the sculptor/whatever view the sculpt?
      The older ones are probably too young and the youngest is probably too old.


      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are?
      Nether really.
       
    9. I chose: 30s

      What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?
      Adult... Young Adult... or Immortal (I have lots of fantasy-based dolls!)

      Do you have a bjd that is older/younger than most customers/the sculptor/whatever view the sculpt?
      Nah... I'm easy. Most all my dolls are pretty much what they look like, except for the "Immortal" thing! :)

      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are?
      Well, I'm an older owner, so almost everything is younger... except for the immortals, anyway! :D
       
    10. Mine have a really wide range of ages, evenly divided. My current doll family is a family - an infant, a toddler, a young married couple in their mid to late 20s and one set of grandparents who are ambiguously somewhere between 45 and 60. The dolls I'm waiting for will add 2 primary school age children and another couple who are approximately in their mid to late 30s (developmentally at least, some are fantasy characters).

      What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?

      I don't have a favorite age. I like seeing what other collectors do to portray a wide variety of ages, or life states in the cases of immortal or other fantasy characters.

      Do you have a bjd that is older/younger than most customers/the sculptor/whatever view the sculpt?
      Most of the sculpts I own are too rare to have a predictable "most customers" I think, except my toddler Bobobie tiny who is spot on. My Mythdoll Little Leroi is probably older (mid 20s) than most people have viewed the sculpt. I consider it a very adaptable sculpt though, almost a blank slate.

      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are?
      Mostly younger, I'm a few short years younger than the lowest age range for my "grandparent" dolls.
       
    11. I don't think I have any that are under 100. In fact, I'm not even sure if I have any under 1,000. My "oldest" is ... billions and billions of billions and billions of years old... does that even count?
       
    12. Ooh, my group is kind of all over the place, age-wise, since we're talking in terms of magic. Most seem to be "stuck" at mid-20s to late 30s, though I do have a handful of teens and a couple of babies, though again, magic and curses come into play.

      Most of my group are younger than me, though I do have a few right around my age.
       
    13. I only have one doll at the moment and she's about 14 or 15. I'm saving for another who will be the same age.

      I, however, am well past that age (grin).
       
    14. I said about 20

      What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?
      I only have a few dolls but they are about my age, but I see them as ageless.

      Do you have a bjd that is older/younger than most customers/the sculptor/whatever view the sculpt?
      I have a msd doll leaves lilith with a small bust that I view as an adult.

      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are?
      they are about my age, but I never gave them an actual number.
       
    15. 30s then 20s/teenagers and then... Hmm, I think 40s.
      Not sure if I have more 20s or teenagers, but definetly I have 30s the most.
      Yo tho, the only BJD i currently have, is 17.
      Jeff which i'm going to build next is also 17.
       
    16. What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?
      I prefer dolls in their mid 20s, and yes, most of my dolls are indeed within their 20s or early 30s.

      Do you have a bjd that is older/younger than most customers/the sculptor/whatever view the sculpt?
      Yeah, I do. I'm pretty sure most people think a SWITCH Shiho is supposed to be quite young, but my girl is a baby-faced 31 year old woman. :)

      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are?
      Most of my dolls are around the same age as myself.
       
    17. As all my dolls are Iplehpuse EID so most of them are at their early 30s
       
    18. What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?
      20s-30s. It's the easiest age to sculpt in adults and I've a thing with elves who don't age, so...

      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are?
      About my age generally. I don't calculate, if it works aesthetically to me.
       
    19. out of my 3 at home or expected total of 8 who will have an age.

      What is your favorite age for bjds? Does it match with your current bjd ages?
      I guess 20's. All of my planned dolls (lol) will be 20something except the 2 MSDs. They are late teens (but I was thinking of just bumping the age and making them fairies e.e the height difference changes things)

      Do you have a bjd that is older/younger than most customers/the sculptor/whatever view the sculpt? If i change my MSDs to 20 year old adults i guess i'd have them older than most would. My SDs are in a normal age range for their sculpt.

      Do you have bjds that are mostly younger or older than you are? 2 will be younger than me the rest are older than me. My story that i have for them require a bit more maturity that I think most pick up nearing 25+ when under 30.
       
    20. Darn! I should have guessed that I needed some older age ranges. I was thinking about leaving some of the ages out, but I could imagine my mother yelling at me: "How dare you lump me in with your grandmother!", so I added some older categories. Sorry for failing to include ages for some of your dollies! I will update my comment above, but I'm not sure I can change the poll.
