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.

Couples collecting?

Nov 19, 2005

    1. My boyfriend and I don't live together yet, but he doesn't mind my dolls. I don't think he really understands bjds, but he's supportive anyway.:aheartbea He's always happy to give me advice when I'm trying to decide on things like wigs and outfits.
      He jokes around sometimes that they're creepy but I've brought them to his place and he doesn't mind at all. Just so long as they stay out of the bedroom at night time because he doesn't want them watching him sleep.:lol:
       
    2. My husband knew about my doll collecting when we met so he has always been OK with it and buys me lots of dolls and their things.
      He is just happy when I bring home a doll and not another animal...lol.
       
    3. I think my girlfriend originally thought they were weird because they were too "anime" for her, but now that we live together and they're on display, she's taken an interest in them. She asks me questions about the characters and about what my plans are and if Lolita will ever get shoes... Only been to one meet with her, but she's looking forward to going back. And someday soon she will have her own Littlefee, based on one of the characters we were writing with that really brought us together. And I showed her a tutorial for eye making as something she could do in her spare time --- I may get her into this hobby yet!

      My ex, however? He never had anything nice to say, but I think it was mostly that he was irritated that I had only pretty boys at that point, and because dolls in general were more expensive than he thought they should be.
       
    4. My husband is supportive of the hobby, he even buys me dolls. We have been together for a long time (today is our 51st anniversary).
       
    5. My Hubby doesn't understand why I like bjd or dolls in general or how I could spend so much on a single doll. I ended up telling him he spends just as much as I do possible more on his hobbies he just does multiple smaller purchases while I chose to go with one large purchase I think he got it a little better then and now that my first doll is ordered he seems to like the idea a little better so we shall see
       
    6. I have a boyfriend when I told him about it he thought it was creepy but when he saw my favorite girl Grenade who ironically probably the creepiest doll I own he thought she was pretty cool but still thought it was weird. I think he'll get used to them he finds some sculpts more freaky than others.
       
    7. My last ex was very supportive of my doll hobby. He even helped me put a deposit down on a limited doll so I could get her! He didn't really "get" my hobby, but he did find it amusing that all the dolls are in the bedroom facing the bed.

      The ex before that was a jerk about it. He'd complain they're too expensive and jokingly (wasn't funny at all) threaten to throw them away. I put up with it and told him that I only want him to respect my hobbies, like I respected his gun collecting hobby (his guns cost as much as my dolls!). Unfortunately he was very closed-minded and wouldn't at least leave my hobby alone, so I'm glad to be rid of him!
       
    8. My Dh knows everything I am into and has always supported me. I don't take advantage of that though. I try to carefully purchase things we have the funds for. If we don't I try to respect that and not get anything at that time. Especially if its expensive.
       
    9. I was not in the hobby the last time I dated but I dream of meeting a guy who will also like them :)
       
    10. My boyfriend is in the hobby. He so far only has pullips and taeyangs but is in the process of paying for his first proper BJD <3 He's super supportive of all of my hobbies! I'm evening buying him Island Doll Loki for our anniversary/christmas (fullset hence the double present)
       
    11. My partner has always shown an interest in my dolls and last Christmas he got his own :)
       
    12. My last boyfriend seemed to liked them. I ended up giving him one of my girls and he seemed grateful! It does seem like a hassle to find someone who doesn't find it creepy or weird :/ I'm taking one of my girls to a con so maybe I'll meet someone there ;)
       
    13. I got my fiance into BJDs last year. He currently has two and a floating head, has one on order right now, and have half a dozen or so more on his wishlist. :)
       
    14. My partner and I are both into the hobby, we both love takeing care of the dools. :dance
       
    15. My husband is not in the hobby. He's very supportive of my interests (dolls included), and I try to be equally supportive of his. ♥
       
    16. My husband isn't in the hobby either but he's very supportive. He thought my dolls were creepy a first but they've grown on him I guess :)
       
    17. My ex-husband was a big collector of action figures and artist sculptures from his favorite comic book and movie series. Although he liked the stylized nature of the dolls I showed him, and could understand why I'd like them, he couldn't understand why they were so expensive. He spent hundreds of dollars at a time on his stuff, but didn't understand why I would! I haven't had a relationship since, really, but the last person I was interested in HATED dolls, and refused to have one in his house if we ever dated. Needless to say, that didn't work out!
       
    18. My partner hated them when we first got together. More so when she learnt how much they were! But in the last 3 years she's become the person I talk to about wigs, eyes, genders and names! In fact she just styled my Minifee Marcia head that's waiting for its body. And named her! Anthros still creep her out a bit but I'm working on it!
       
    19. I wish I have such a person in my family or among my friends, but T_T
      And if my boyfriend is in hobby it would be soo cool, but T_T
      In my very_little town there isnt' any (!) bjd-lovers ;_;
       
    20. My husband doesn't mind the dolls any more than he does any of my other hobbies/obsessions. In that he lets me borrow his tools for doll-related projects, happily watches box openings, and overall encourages me because it makes me happy. He has his own hobbies and obsessions, so it all evens out :)
