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 you care if other people like your doll?

Feb 9, 2011

    1. I don't care since it's MY doll, the only thing I care about is that I like it. n_n
      IT's only a bonus if other people like my doll and I get happy when ppl compliment it ^^
       
    2. Nope!

      Should an individual be so lacking as to be unable to appreciate the exquisite beauty of my doll, they have my sympathy. That was sarcasm. LOL!
       
    3. I stopped caring after someone reposted some pictures of my first doll after I just got into the hobby to one of those 'fuck no' blogs on tumblr. It took a while to get over it but now I'm just like "Hey! Aren't my dolls cute! Look at them!" It's a good way of thinking now and people haven't seemed to throw a hissyfit so... /shrug
       
    4. No, I don't care if other people like my doll or not. I do ask my husband what he thinks if I'm on the fence about buying a particular sculpt, but if I'm in love with it then I'll get it whether he likes it or not. If people don't like my doll I would hope they wouldn't be rude or obnoxious about it.
       
    5. I don't care if people don't like the sculpt I pick out. It's not their money that is paying for the doll so they shouldn't be worrying themselves over the sculpt.
       
    6. Honestly, I do care what my family thinks of my dolls. It makes me feel good to know they like them and support my hobby. That being said, if a family member says they don't like a particular sculpt, but I love it, I would get it any way. I know they support the hobby in general so that's what matters most. If it's not a close family member, then I don't care if someone likes my dolls or not. It does feel good when someone likes/compliments my dolls, of course. But in the end, if someone doesn't like my doll I wouldn't let it influence me.
       
    7. I don't really care, they are my dolls and if people around me doesn't like them, then it's their opinion but it's not mine. As long as I enjoyed my dolls, it's what is really important. Of course, I'm happy if my boyfriend tell me he finds one of my dolls to be pretty but that's all.
       
    8. I don't care what other people think on my dolls. I like them and that's fine for me.
       
    9. I don't care if others like my dolls. I care if I'm happy with them.
       
    10. I buy the dolls I love, obviously, not based on the opinions of others. However, I'm not going to lie: I do want to show them off and have others be impressed by them. :)
       
    11. I don't mind someone's opinion of my doll unless they are obviously trying to be rude to me.
      My friends have hobbies of their own but they still think my dolls are pretty nice.

      For example, it seems not a lot of people like DC dolls but I love how creepy they are.
      Some sculpts just aren't for everyone and it's understandable.
       
    12. First of all, it is YOUR doll. Not theirs.
      Of course they can pitch in their opinions, but in the end, they are only opinions and it is your choice on what sculpt to choose.
      Personally, I couldn't care less what others thought. My step brother still asks me why I went with my choice and I just tell him because I think she's perfect and that it was my choice and not his.
      Be strong, love!
       
    13. Other people's opinions used to matter a lot for me when I showed them my dolls. I would often get, "they look like girls" or "Eww, they're creepy." After a few comments of that I just ended up ignoring them. I like my dolls just the way they are.

      I'll sometimes ask a few of my coworkers their opinions about a sculpt that I like if I'm having a hard time deciding on more than one doll. I'll think about what they think and then put in my own opinions. Then I decide if I really want it or not. One of my dolls that my coworkers thought would be creepy ended up being their favorite.
       
    14. Nope, I don't. I use my money to purchase my darlings and I don't ask pennies from other people so they can just eat their opinion and try to get full on it. As long as I'm not troubling others financially / monetarily, I think I'm A-Okay. ☺
       
    15. Not really. My mother dislikes my resinsoul ju (because her chest is anatomically correct, plus she's too "animal like") while the few other people I've shown either think she's pretty or don't care. Even if everyone hated her though, I wouldn't get rid of her.
       
    16. Nope, I do not care if anyone else likes my dolls. I adore them, and that's what matters most to me.
       
    17. I don't mind if people don't like my dolls, but they have to keep it to themselves, I can't stand it when I try to show my mum something I'm excited about or I really like and she just turns her nose up at it. If I'm clearly happy/excited about something at least pretend to like it :lol:
       
    18. As long as I love my dolls then I don't care what anyone else thinks :D
       
    19. I usually don't care what people think of my doll, but I have to say if I show my mom a sculpt I'm looking at and she doesn't look into it I second guess myself and usually leave it alone. I just want her to not look at it as waste of money so I might as well get dolls that both her and I love :)
       
    20. Great question! :)

      I myself do actually care what my family thinks of me begin in this hobby. They do support the hobby, what i like and that's what i think is the important part in this, that they accept it and accept you in all ways. My sister is also in the BJD hobby so i am happy that i have her to talk about BJDs with here at home.:aheartbea

      To people outside my family and that's not in to BJDs i don't really care if they dont like my doll, but people who do and tell me compliments of my doll i get very flattered and happy! :)
