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.

Age of your characters as dolls

Feb 22, 2018

    1. My dolls all are supernatural, they aged from 30 to 1006 but looks like children and young adults xD
      But a have an idea to get one character as human woman about 33-35 years old...
       
    2. Most of my doll characters are in their twenties it might be because it's the same age for me. I also have characters who appear to be in their late twenties but are actually centuries old.
       
    3. I don't really have adult dolls , well I mean characters passed the age of 25. It's mainly because I draw a lot of comic with teenagers so, I keep in mind what my characters ages are before I buy a certain doll. Like Aida for example she's 19 in the comics, though her doll sculpt doesn't really match up since she's an Iplehouse JID girl but it makes her short so it fits her character's height.
       
    4. Like some others have said, the characters I've shelled so far are, for the most part, immortal spirits. I think I would be more concerned about finding the right doll/face-up to portray an "accurate" age for humans, especially if I had a cast with a variety of age ranges and wanted to make sure that some dolls were visibly older than others.
       
    5. For my human characters, the smaller one is a child around 10 while the others are 21, 25 and 27.
      As for non-human ones, my little giraffe has 22 and my bat 12 but that means the giraffe is an adult specimen and the bat is a bit more than a juvenile.
       
    6. I think my dollie clan will all be around the same age range, starting at 18 probably up to late 20s. Although some of my characters are fantasy people so they could be hundreds or carry their age differently and still look the same!
       
    7. My two boys are magical persons - a warlock and a pixie so their ages aren't reflected in their appearance. But my warlock will definitely look like a 25~30 year old once he has his facial hair painted on. He is a Iplehouse Bichun
       
    8. My youngest doll character is Summer, who's Autumn and Winter's child. Her resin avatar is a DZ Christmas Baby, so... an infant.

      My oldest character currently in doll form is Nemissary, my grumpy old City of Heroes Oranbegan death-mage. The body he was inhabiting in-game wasn't his original (He was basically a body-snatching ghost at that point-), but it was close in age to the one he'd lost. He was supposed to be late-40s/early-50s. His resin avatar is a Granado V-07 with an "older guy" type faceup.

      Someday I'd love to have a resin version of Tian Yu (Harumatsu, Tien Jen and Chidori's grandfather-), but I've never found a sculpt that I though could really pull off someone his age.
       
    9. most of my characters tend to hang round the ages of 16-to 25 my youngest is 15 but that character doesn't currently have a body so i guess he doesn't count
       
    10. My first bjd Flora, is about 16. My tiny Lottie is about 2 years old!
       
    11. My oldest is 29 and my youngest is 17 :)
      I hope to have one in their 30s soon.
