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.

Did you ever find dolls creepy before you got into BJDs?

    1. I grew up in the era of baby annabelle and the like. I was quite creeped out by those dolls and used to get freaked out if I went to another kids house and they had one of those dolls. But honestly I am not creeped out by dolls at all, before I had BJDs I had Living Dead Dolls and other horror themed dolls.

      That being said not so very long ago I did hear a ghost story that involved dolls which because of my overactive imagination did end up causing one of my bigger dolls to give me a fright in the night :XD:

    2. No. I had no thoughts or opinions about dolls in general. However, I knew so many people who said that dolls creeped them out, but I always saw it as a projection from popular media. People repeated the same thing based on common superstition, and it just always sounded so lame and unoriginal.

    3. No, I don't think I did. But I did find out about BJDs at a young age. Like many who have responded to this post, I don't like reborn style dolls. Not because I think they are creepy, but baby dolls just aren't my cup of tea. Or, at least I felt that way before my amazon feed came up with this absolute gem. Go check it out! It's titled "iCradle 17 Inch Handmade Reborn Elf Baby Fairy Doll Girl Reborn Fantasy Art collectible Angel Baby Dolls". It looks like an off brand Harry Potter house elf. Egads! This is the kind of thing you don't want to sleep in the same room with. :mwahaha

    4. I was always fond of dolls and was never scared of them growing up. My parents were, which unfortunately led to many back and forths when I asked for BJDs for my birthday and my parents would say no.

    5. There was exactly ONE doll I found creepy before getting into BJDs:

      For my 3rd birthday, my mother bought me a porcelain flapper doll. I felt like her face looked like the evil queen from Snow White and didn't like her.

      It's also taken a while for me to look at Blythe dolls without getting creeped out. IDK why Blythe did this to me but not Pullip. Different eye shapes, I guess.
