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 will for sure keep my first (and other) dolls, I would even want to be burried with her!
      For me selling the doll would be selling a project your working on and so a part of myself.
       
    2. I still have mine. :aheartbeaWe've been through a lot together and I don't see myself ever selling her.
       
    3. I sold mine...

      I still have my second, though. :)
       
    4. I still have mine (Soom Mecha Angel Sabik)! Even sometimes I thought about how I hate his posing, size and that it's crazy difficult to find clothes for him. But just looking at him still makes me happy, I really love him and don't think I'll ever sell him :aheartbea
       
    5. I have a feeling I will always keep my first doll! She was a gift from my friend trying to get me into the hobby and it worked so well haha.
       
    6. My white Rooney was my first and I still have them! I did come pretty close to selling at one point, but laziness prevailed. xD
       
    7. While my first doll with me. Probably over time I also will want to leave it. But while we are together.
       
    8. I wouldn't dream of getting rid/selling Tania. I only got her a year ago but she is still my favourite. I think she always will be. She is still so perfect. No yellowing or anything. She will always be with me! :) <3
       
    9. I still have my first doll. He is a light tan BBB Apollo. BBB Light tan is currently notoriously weird in color, its not warm an honey kissed, it's cold and ill looking. I think he's too weird to sell legitly as the color he was noted to be made in, so I am going to keep him and maybe dye him to warm him up some. I'd consider trading him for another Apollo but the other doll would have to be very well cared for as mine is, only then maaayyy be.
       
    10. Nope I sold her. She wasn't my first choice and bought her because the one I really wanted was no longer available. I managed to buy the first one I wanted and I still have her :D
       
    11. Well, my first doll was a gift from a friend. She's a RS Yao, and I don't think anything on this planet would ever convince me to sell her. She's kicky, she falls over, and msd clothes don't fit her too well, but she's got so much personality and she reminds me of warm memories so even her flaws just make her more endearing. It was with her that I learned through the hobby after all. I've got a lot of love for my Natalie. xD Nothing could ever replace her.
       
    12. Honestly I didn't like my first doll very much ^^; [ A DZ Shoyo-3 ] I kept her for over a year anyway before finally selling her to buy a second MNF.
       
    13. I plan on keeping mine when she arrives for awhile. If the time comes I will sell her, but I have no intentions at the moment.
       
    14. Of course I'm keeping him! He was my first doll, the one that I scrimped and saved and worked my butt off to have. (The other two were purchased with gift money.) He inspired my most developed and imaginative story plot and I feel proud and happy every single time I look at him. If I left the hobby, he's definitely the one that would stay with me. And, if I had to choose which doll I wanted if I could only keep one, it would be him.
       
    15. I still have my first BJD and plan to keep her. I am not very good at selling or getting rid of dolls though, I like to hang on to them ;)
       
    16. I could never sell my first doll. I'm currently working on moving his character to another sculpt and I first thought of selling it, but I have no guts to do so.
       
    17. Yes, I have kept my first doll. She is a Dollzone 2007(8?) Event bunny that I bought from someone here on the marketplace. I never plan on selling her, ever. First of all, she's a rabbit, and all rabbits stay with me. Second, she's freaking cute and isn't sold anymore.
       
    18. I kept my first (DD Yukino) for three years, but sold her a few weeks ago. Initially, I could never see myself selling her. But though I adored her for a while, I began collecting resin BJDs after I got her and realized I preferred them so much that I fell out of love with her. Her material and posing just wasn't the same, and she sat on a shelf all day. While many of my others made an appearance in my college dorm as I'd come home and swap out who would come back with me to school, I never felt the need to bring her. I always thought selling a doll that meant so much to me would be hard or cause some sort of regret, but it didn't. I knew as soon as I began taking photo for the listing and officially listed her that she was better off with someone who could better appreciate her, as I didn't feel at all sentimental about her anymore.
       
    19. I don't think I could ever sell Allegra. Her body? Sure. I'm figuring out a plan to upgrade her to something with nicer joints. But I could never sell her head!!
       
    20. I would never dream of selling my first doll. I am so incredibly attached to her that the thought of her no longer in my life crushes me. She is what introduced me into the hobby! No, I could never even consider selling her.
