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?

Aug 12, 2009

    1. I know I do :3
      It has too many scratches/ dirt/ love for me to just "sell" I would go live in a crazy house before I gave up my doll :3
      But would you do the same thing too?
      I know it's just a doll, but your wedding ring is a ring in a way.
       
    2. I will definitely keep my very first doll!!! :aheartbea She is by far my most favorite... I've developed her character more than I have my other dolls. Also, her face-up and coloring are very similar to mine. Subconsciously I must have seen her as a part of me.:blush :doh
       
    3. Considering my first doll was my dream doll, I would never be able to part with him. I had a hard time finding a doll I liked enough to buy, and then he came along and changed everything. He spawned a new character in a new world and is just my favourite little boy xD
       
    4. Oh yes, my Alphie is still with me. He's the one im my icon/avatar picture. He ain't goin' anywhere.

    5. Awww, that's so sweet everyone!
       
    6. I sold my first doll to my best friend so ... he's still in the family!
       
    7. Yes, he surely is! My first was Albion, my DoT Lahoo FS. I love him too much to let him go, I remember that when he came home it was one of the best and happiest days of my life.
      Right now I'm changing his face-up (so long with the default!), cleaning him up and searching for new stuff for him.
      I'm quite sure that I'll keep him forever. :)
       
    8. I could never give up my first doll!

      It took me a long time to decide which doll I wanted, and when I picked her, it was a month before I could order her, so I was very sure of the decision. I get very attached to my toys/stuffed animals (even clothes sometimes), so I don't really fear falling out of love.

      Even with another doll here that I really love, Adelheid is still my special little first doll. ^^
       
    9. I haven't sold any of mine, so yes, I still have her. (Technically, 'them', since I ordered both at once -- but one came a few days before the other since they shipped in separate boxes, and one was held up by customs.) I'm rather careful with those two, though, since I went all out and got the body blushing on them when I ordered, and I'm always terrified to potentially damage it. Or, I'm more careful with them than I am with my non-blushed dolls -- they all get treated like they might break at any moment sometimes.
       
    10. Klara is still with me, and I will keep her as long as I can. She was my first doll, and the first doll I fell in love with. She's special to me.
       
    11. Well, I DID sell my first doll and I didn't think I would. But other things came up and so she is gone. I still think about her a lot, and her mold is still available so I could buy another one if I wanted to.
       
    12. Yes! He is still with me!
      He is one of my dream doll and I will keep him forever!
       
    13. Gwenllian is in a box at the moment, keeping free of dust, dirt and light :) There are some mods I need to make to her, but other than that she's a wonderful doll and I won't be selling her any time soon. I did try to sell her once, but when I was photographing her for the sales post I realised just how much I loved her and she's an important part of my doll experience.

      When I got her, I wrote an original story about her character and she has grown ever since then. I can't imagine not having her :)
       
    14. I still have mine, but then I've never sold any of my dolls. Instead they've just taken over the living room.
       
    15. Yes I have her, but I sometimes want to sell her though X_X
       
    16. I don't think i will every part with Zoya, she is my first love beoken finger and all!!
       
    17. Yes, she's still at home and will never go away ^___^
       
    18. Yeah, I don't think I could ever part with my boy. He's a brat and kicks me in the chin when I string him, but I love him to death, he's not going anywhere. <3
       
    19. I only have two dolls so far, with my third on the way.

      I don't think I could ever give up my first doll though ... He was the doll I chose when I thought I could never afford a bjd hobby, but I scrimped and save anyway *L*
       
    20. Yes, I sold her, but she was French resin and yellowed and no longer made me happy to see her.
