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 only had bad memories of my first doll so I recently sold him. I'm relieved to know he's going to a much better home where he get the attention he deserves.
       
    2. I did sell my first doll (resinsoul mei), but I really do regret doing so and I'm thinking about buying the same sculpt again. I mainly disliked her resin colour, and was hoping to buy her in a different color, but got distracted by other dolls and haven't gone back to buy her again. :sweat I've been hearing a lot of good things about Resinsoul, lately, so I've been really interested in possibly getting a few modifications for her.
       
    3. Yes, I sold my first doll, a Little Elva Misora.
      I didn't bond with her since she came out of her box so I don't regret selling her.
      And I know she is in a good home now, surrounded by lovely sisters, so I'm happy ^w^
       
    4. I loved my first dolly but I had to sell my whole collection cuz of financial emergency.
      I don't regret it, cuz if I don't have my wellbeing a doll has no use.
      Now that I have better financial situation I started collecting again! :) of course, I will miss my old dolls, but I'm thankful they could help me when Iwas in need.
       
    5. I kept my first one for the longest time but ended up selling him recently. I've bought him in 2005 and my taste in general has changed a lot since then. He didn't fit in my collection anymore and wasn't getting any attention at all, just spending his days in his box. I felt quite guilty for selling him but he has a more loving owner now and gets all the attention. ^^
       
    6. Can't really reply to that question yet, but I think I will keep her. I thought about getting her for about 2 years and I would feel bad if I'd sell her after so many hours of deciding. ;o

      EDIT: After reading through some comments I guess you truely never know if you'll sell him/her. Though I don't think badly of people who do sell or trade their first doll. They need a home where they are loved!
       
    7. I still have my first doll and have no intentions of ever selling him. I have sold a lot of dolls in between, and will be posting some more for sale soon, but Carter is staying with me. FOREVER mahahahahaha

      No but seriously I still have my first doll have had him for almost 7 years, but I don't have an issue with selling dolls if they are not working, he just arrived at a perfect time in my life when I needed the distraction and because of that we really bonded and I can not imagine reaching a place where I would sell him.
       
    8. Yes, I sold my first doll. I guess I was disappointed when he came to me, he just didn't give the same feeling I felt when I saw him online.
      Thankfully I'm now quite happy with the dolls I have ^^
       
    9. my first doll is a venitu and I would never sell him
       
    10. I've always thought would never sell her, and I still can't way I ever would. She's a discontinued mold, so I couldn't get her again either. I'd always wanted a twin brother for her, same sculpt, but since we can't find another anywhere, my poor girl will have to be alone. But I'll always keep her.
       
    11. I've had my first doll for almost 6 years now and I still love him to death and can't imagine ever selling him. Honestly in almost 6 years of doll ownership I've only ever sold 2 dolls and that was a difficult choice to make, but I just wasn't bonding with them at all. I've kept 11 of them though so I've kept most of them!
       
    12. I won't be able to sell my first doll. There's always an attachment to first of everything I own. The others maybe?
       
    13. My first hasn't been shipped yet and I'm already attached! lol But I've loved his sculpt since high school so unless my taste changes drastically, he's probably going to stay. :)
       
    14. My very first full doll I kept... a minifee shushu! I got her will a sleeping head but I sold the sleeping head.
       
    15. I didnt sell my first doll but i gave her as a gift to one of my close friends cause she loved the doll so much and i just starting to lose touch with her so i decided it would be a nice thing to do. :)
       
    16. I would never ever sell my first doll, he means way to much to me. In fact, I don't think I could ever sell any doll due to me getting attached to things as soon as I touch them.
       
    17. I will always keep my first doll, she was a gift from my best friend. Since she hates dolls, it was a very sincere mark of devotion to our friendship that she would buy me a doll.
       
    18. For sure I will always keep my first doll. I love him too much to sell him. He's mah baby.
       
    19. I currently still have my first doll (Dollzone Tintan), and I do think she's lovely, but I'm really considering selling her.

      I do still like her mold, but she doesn't really fit in with my current aesthetic sensibilities. Not to mention that she's literally been in her box and not displayed for the past five years.

      So, I have her, but I could part with her.
       
    20. I don't think I could sell my first, anyone else is fair game to me, just not my first haha.
