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 really only enjoy box openings for dolls I'm currently waiting to arrive. So, in that sense, they are vicarious box openings. ;)
       
    2. hope i actually get one ..and i can be vicarious -ing -ing for someone else ..my english ! god bless. o.o
       
    3. I personally enjoy watching box openings of dolls that I'm interested in owning and sometimes for dolls that I find really nice but I wouldn't want for myself.
      I don't see myself doing a box opening video of my own though as I'm a bit camera shy.
       
    4. I really hope there would be more box openings of the dolls I'm waiting for. :D
       
    5. During my own box opening, I got really excited that I ended up forgetting to take photos (that, and my camera wasn't at hand during the time). :lol:
      I don't really watch box opening videos, but I do like to look at photos (with accompanying text) of other people's box openings. :3
       
    6. I love to watch box openings. Seeing the reactions of people seeing their doll for the first time, holding them, and playing with them. It makes me so happy seeing them so happy with their dolls! :)
       
    7. I love box openings! I know that I'll never have many of these awesome dolls, so I love to see other people's excitement when they open their new arrivals :dance I always look for box openings after I find a company doll I like, to see how the real-life version stands up to the promo pics.
       
    8. ^^ I love box opening, since that will makes me know more about the comparison about the dolls in real from company photos. Also the excitement to see people getting their new dollies! I also prefer to see the picture or perhaps the little story about the box opening than the video xD
       
    9. Watching box openings are super exciting, especially when you can tell the owners are really excited too :)
       
    10. I like them, especially if it's someone's first box opening.
       
    11. I also love them.. but i don't like to do them just only to watch opening videos
       
    12. I really enjoy photostory box openings. They are usually creative and refreshing. :aheartbea
       
    13. I have only seen 2 and that was enough for me. I would rather spend my time in the forums, looking at doll pictures, and so on. And especially if the doll has no faceup yet.
       
    14. I love box opening videos but not photos. I think I like to see how excited the person is in the video. :D
       
    15. I really enjoy watching the videos and seeing the pictures of box openings.
      So fun, like being there to share in the fun with them :)
       
    16. I enjoy reading/watching box openings. I just think it has to do with the excitement and happiness. It makes me smile when I see box openings. I always tell myself I'm going to do one someday, but then I always get wrapped up in my own excitement that I forget to take pictures while I'm taking my doll out for the very first time. Oh well, maybe next time I'll remember!
       
    17. I loooooove box openings, but hot dang some of them need to hurry along. No offence to anyone who doesn't know how to video edit (I mean... I don't know either lol) but I usually skip way ahead.
       
    18. I never did a box opening of my first, yes I have pictures of the box and the doll with her certificate, but it seems to me people have to do the box opening just to prove the authenticity of the doll. Iam against recast dolls, and I would want proof of the dolls authenticity if I was buying from someone else, but personally I think box openings are boring and I don't think people should be forced to do them under pressure if their doll is legitimate.
       
    19. I love box opening photos, but fo not have the patience to watch videos as much. The photos lets me see proportions and make size predicitons. Very useful and very enjoyable :)
       
    20. Awesome! I definitely get a better idea of how a doll looks with owner-pictures than with the company marketing photos :) It's interesting to see what is coming out...
