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.

Do/Did you keep your very first doll? Or will you sell it? - Part 2

Jun 4, 2016

    1. I have completely transformed my collection twice and my first doll was sold when I transitioned from a mix of MSDs and SDs to only SDs. I feel like there were things about that doll that I loved, and he was the right doll at the right moment when I started the hobby but as I grew and changed he wasn't what I needed creatively.

      I think the bigger mistake I made was to try to change/mod him to make him fit what I wanted at the time (a more mature mini, which at the time wasn't being made) and then tried to get a bigger size of him (which there wasn't enough variety out there at the time to accomplish).

      It was an early lesson in how I need to trust that feeling when something isn't working.

    2. I literally only started in December and I'm already not sure. I got my first bjd, resinsoul xun for my birthday. I was enamored of her until I got my 2nd for christmas, a myou Vieurodis. I'm shocked at how much more better a poser she is, so I'm considering getting a different 1/4. But then I love the tan of my xun, and I was slightly dissapointed at how *white* the myou normal skin actually was...So I don't know haha. i love them both for different things, but neither is *perfect*. Finances will tell me if I sell them on my journey to the perfect dolls, or if I just try again next time and let the collection grow.

    3. I did sell my very first doll that I got when I was 14. When I was graduating high school, she stayed in a drawer and I never brought her out, it only made sense to me at the time to sell her.

      If I could, I wouldn’t have sold her. My msd that got me back into the hobby, though, I don’t believe I would sell him unless I decided to own less dolls. I have a list in the back of my head of dolls I -have- to keep no matter what, and he’s not on that list. I love him though.

    4. I sold my first two dolls. A part of me still kind of regrets it (nostalgia and all that), but the cons outweighed the pros. I found that 1/3 size was too big for my taste, but I feel better knowing that a lot of people have gone through the same realization, that 1/4 or smaller is a better size.

      At least I'll always have the photos to look back upon! ^^
