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.

Curious, how many impulse dolls?

May 28, 2017

    1. YOOOO I'm just getting back into the hobby after a decade+ away where I had sold all of my dolls but one and I just impulse bought two dolls so... u_u

      edited to add: all my dolls that I sold (and I miss!) were for the most part made by companies that no longer exist or don't sell the doll anymore and they're hard to find on the secondary market. I'm in a much better financial position than I was in my early twenties (part of why I sold most of them) so if I see some of my little loves again I will absolutely be snatching them up if I see them again!

    2. Almost all my dolls qualify as impulse buys in some way. I got into this hobby in 2005, bought my first doll as a secondhand head on the MP after I had saved up enough money as a broke teen. My philosophy is "the doll is available, I love it, and I can afford it" and that tends to guide what I buy, lol. Now that a lot of the dolls in my collection are old enough to have been discontinued, or made by companies that are no longer making dolls at all, I don't regret that strategy. I still basically abide by that, honestly, it gives me a lot of opportunity to add unique and uncommon dolls to my collection! I definitely have grail dolls that I'd love to own, but for the most part it's impulse all the way, haha. I only have one doll out of 23 that I can say I planned to get, and even she took about 15 years to happen. :XD: Sounds very scatterbrained, but it keeps me from the stress and anxiety of worrying about discontinuations, studio closures, shipping and production delays, and it also minimizes issues of photos being radically different from the doll in person. I like having the flexibility to enjoy things as they come!

    3. ...all of them? I'm going to say all of them. Unless a vague "I like this company/doll" counts as planning beforehand, I see a doll for sale and I jump on it.
