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.

    1. I still have my first two. :3 They were given to me as a gift from a friend who didn't have any use for them. They're now chilling on top of my TV instead of in his basement.

    2. I still have all my dolls! I have sold some floating heads and a couple of faceplates, but as for whole dolls, they still live here!

    3. I still have my boy and I would never dream of selling him! He's my baby. I love bringing him with me to different places and showing him off. I've gotten rid of many dolls in my day but Malice holds a special place in my heart.

    4. I still have my first girl, and I don't think I'll ever sell her! I'm her third owner, and plan to be her last. Her faceup is bruised, her body is yellowed, but all the "scars" on her just makes her more alive to me ^^

    8. I've had my first doll(DOT Sha) for 5 years. That's a long time. O_O He won't ever be sold, I love him waaaaay way too much to get rid of him. :aheartbea But he is, however, getting a REALLY big makeover.

    9. Ember is my one and only and I've taken to her like a new child in the house. No, I don't think she will ever leave, even when she turns 18 and wants to move out and get a place of her own

    12. I also have my first three. In fact, I've only ever let one of my dolls move on. Her head just ended up being too big. S:

    13. I still have my first doll. I love her. I can't get rid of her. And she was LE so I can't replace her.

    15. I can't say that I never will, but I think she would be my last and hardest to give up. I certainly have no plans of giving her up.

    16. I couldn't even consider the notion of parting with my Feya!! She commemorates a very strange time in my life, frought with turmoil and anxiety. I initially planned on using the money I'd accrued (and later purchased her with) to pay for an end-of-school-year camping trip, but after my diagnosis, that was no longer feasible. I promptly ordered my first girl and haven't regretted it since.

    17. My first doll was my first doll love, it was a DOT Ducan.
      But over the years as much as I loved him I started noticing flaws and things that would quirk me out and put me aside the doll hobby for quite a while.
      So now he has found a home with my loving mother and her Senior Delf girl and is very happy there, and hey he's still in the family.
      I don't think I'd be able to sell him (not that mum would let me haha she adores him and keeps trying to steal my other doll's clothes and wigs to put on him...)
      But I think it's better that way.
      I hope I can get back into BJDs again, my other babies have been waiting patiently for me to come back and take them out of their boxes. 1.5yrs break was long enough...

    18. I am struggling with this at the moment, actually. I still have my first doll (she's the first and only so far), but I will probably sell her.
      She was beautiful in the product pictures on the website, and when she arrived she was still beautiful, but not quite right somehow. I soldiered on anyway though, I've been practising face-ups on her, and some people have said that face-ups are a good way to bond with your doll. But the more I interact with her, the more I feel she's not right for me.

      **EDIT**
      I ended up getting rid of her head, and getting a different sculpt as a replacement head and kept her original body. Now I like her so much better and don't intend to try and sell her again :)

    19. I bought my first doll as part of an application for an art grant. I knew very little about bjd at that time but trusted my friend who I bought her from. She is a beautiful doll, and my friend did a superb job giving her a full body blush and face up. Because of that, I have felt I should keep her. But after spending a lot of time exploring dolls, she is my least favorite doll. I am giving some thought to selling her. I believe my friend would understand all the reasons for this-- but I still find it hard to re-home my first doll because of the connection to my friend. [A long distance friendship that came through time we both spent on deviantArt].

      She will always hold special status as the first big step into this world of bjd that I have come to love. Strangely, she is the only doll that feels like just a doll to me. My imagination...
      ...feels a sentient being present for all the others, though my intellect knows better. Now I feel like I should go and apologize to her. ;) OK. So my imagination has more direct access to my emotions than my rational thinking does.

    20. He's with me and I will never ever part with him. No matter how many sisters and brothers he's gonna have he will always be my favorite.
