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.

Celebrating My 20th BJD Anniversary

Jan 6, 2026 at 4:09 PM

    1. March 6, 2006 was the day I welcomed home my very first BJD, a Volks SDC Kurenai, and I want to celebrate the occasion with a big project!

      I'm an illustration student and graphic designer, and I love to incorporate my dolls into personal projects. In the past, I've made a dOLiA*s catalog, a stop-motion movie, and a yearbook. I'm trying to think of what to do for this milestone project and I'm open to suggestions from you! I do have a tabletop gaming course starting next week, and I've been thinking about ways I might be able to sneak my dolls into those projects. Something similar to the Game of Life with the ultimate goal being to collect dolls and not be in debt :lol: As always, I'd love to do this in a full-size human scale and a 1/3 or 1/4 doll scale.

      I'm open to suggestions though, help me brainstorm! :whee:

    2. Happy dolliversary! I think a game would be wonderful - maybe a pack of playing cards with your dolls on them?

    4. A deck of playing or tarot cards could be really cool! I'd have to do a lot of research for a tarot deck though, I just know there's a lot of symbolism involved. But I do like both ideas.

    7. Maybe you could make the dolls as illustrations for NPC characters in your TTRPG?

    8. I just did a choose-your-own-adventure/paper doll book for my book making class last semester :) Coming up with the story was the hardest part. :lol: Something to keep in mind for the future though for sure!

      Ooh that could be fun!
