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.

    2. I've been married for 8 years now and just recently started my doll collection. My hubby doesn't comment much on them but I can see the odd look on his face like "WTH?" LOL!!! I'm always coming up with something new to get into so nothing surprises him anymore I think. As long as I don't make him do doll stuff then he's okay with it :lol:

    3. I'm married and my husband and I have always had separate finances; our money is our own. He really likes my dolls and is so stinking cute with them. He has a doll because he didn't want me to sell it when I got frustrated. He says that he would like a puki Pong but I don't think he'll get it anytime soon. He likes collecting kamen rider figuarts.

    4. I've been married for 7 years, and with him for over 9 years, and he's perfectly okay with it. I got my first doll about a week before our wedding. <3 He's overall neutral on it, he doesn't really get into it with me, but he wants me to be happy, and since the dolls make me happy, he encourages it. He even helped me buy my Obitsu Haruka last week!

    5. I am on a same-sex relationship with my boyfriend, I met him a year ago, and we have been dating for 8 months today.
      Nearly since the day I started dating him I brought him into my house and he could see my dolls, he just looked at them and never complaint about them at all.
      Now that we are really close, he is realzing how expensive they are, especially dollfie dreams limited editions from volks...
      He encourages me to buy dolls as I work really hard and I do extra time to buy them, but I kind of know that deep inside him he does not understand how can I spend 800 dollars on a doll when I could buy something else instead.
      I guess we have different ways to see life. Anyway he just supports me and sometimes he changes the doll's positions to creep me out LOL.

    6. I live with my partner and he has no problem with my dolls. They don't really interest him that much. The cost of them is something he sometimes questions but he knows how much fun I get out of them so accepts it.

    7. My boyfriend is actually the one who got me into dolls. I have mostly MH and Pullip, and I'm saving up for my first BJD. He has a DC Queena and several MH dolls. While he's told me Queena is intended to be his one and only BJD, there are a couple others I've been eyeing besides the first one I intend to get. When I talk about all of them with him, he asks me which one I plan on really getting, so I'm deciding how to go about discussing with him the possibility of having more than one BJD of my own. I'm pretty good about saving my money, but I think he's just worried about making sure I'm able to keep enough funds stashed for more essential things.

    8. Me and my husband are both into BJDs. He actually has more than I do! I'm more open to exploring various companies, while he exclusively has SQ Lab and Dollfie Dream girls.

    9. Boyfriend and I have been dating for over two-and-a-half years. I've been in the hobby since 2008. Granted, we started dating when I was taking a break from the hobby. Boyfriend has no issues with the dolls. He doesn't mind me collecting as long as I don't buy something like a 100 dolls and go into debt.

    10. My hubby came before the dolls did, and they creep the hell out of him, but they make me happy, so he puts up with them.

    11. When I started the hobby in 2009 my boyfriend at the time hated them, didnt want me to talk about them, would tell me I couldnt bring a tiny along when we went somewhere, and because of his negative attitude towards them I kinda droped out of the social part of the hobby and didnt play with my girls much and then stoped altogether for almost a year. It was a bad relationship. However!

      Happily I broke up with him and am now in a very happy healthy relationship with a great guy who has his first bjd on the way! (July cant come soon enough) He loves my girls and hes a writer and a photographer so he now wants to create a character and shell him. Hes getting a Minifee Karsh for his birthday. We are very excited. Lol almost like waiting for our first child! (Kidding)

    12. I have a boyfriend who doesn't find these dolls as appealing as I do, but he doesn't say anything about me being in the hobby. It wouldn't matter if he told me to get out of it, I'd still buy dolls and doll stuff :)

    13. Yes, my husband is on board with it. He isn't really fond of dolls but he knows that I have a huge interest in it so he is encouraging of it. I think he needs I need some side hobbies of some sort. :3

    14. My fiancé is totally cool with my BJDs. He's always been super supportive and has even bought me some as presents. He doesn't like dolls or collectibles like I do (he's more of a manly man, into fishing, hiking, hunting, etc), but he appreciates art and the amount of effort that goes into them. He brags my dolls up to his parents and says how awesome they are, so he's definitely a keeper ;)

    15. My boyfriend's super supportive of the hobby. He doesn't collect them himself, but there have been a couple times where he is like "oh, that one would look cool in such and such a way" and starts thinking of ideas on his own. He also is really encouraging with my faceups and is attending DollAKon with me this year. Other than that, he also likes to explain to others who don't know about the hobby what it is and really puts it into a positive light. His coworkers now ask him once and a while about my hobby and how it's going. ^^ It's awesome having a boyfriend who understands my interests and likes them too. :)

    16. I'm married, my husband was the person who showed me the dolls, I knew nothing of them before and he likes my boys and supports me ^^

    17. Married for 3 1/2 years here. :) My hubby's not 100% thrilled with my dolls because he knows how expensive they are. I recently reminded him that he's got his own expensive hobbies so if I don't comment on those, he's not allowed to comment on mine. As long as I pay my share of the bills, I can buy what I like. I think he's just worried that I'll go overboard but I'm very open about what my plans are so he's starting to worry less.

    18. My dolls make me happy and it's my money... He doesn't have to like them. ;) I think he knows better than to nag too much about them...

    19. I got married last year and have been into this for about 3ish years now. My husband has always been supportive. He gives me his opinions when I ask and listens when I talk about them and we kind of take turns talking about our own hobbies even though we know the other isnt really "interested". But neither of us has friends in the area so we make it work with each other :)

    20. My husband likes that I found something besides work/home life to make me happy and provide a distraction from reality now & then. ^^ He has his own hobbies as well, so he gets it. I'm always totally stunned and ecstatic when he makes a passing comment on them like "switch those wigs around, babe" or "I like that one in the last outfit it had more". I like that he is totally chill about an expensive hobby and not guilt tripping me like my parents would~ :)
