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 consider BJDs a hobby or a subculture

Aug 28, 2014

    1. I think it's more of a hobby for me. Dolls are special to me and I enjoy them but I have a lot of other interests as well so I don't think I'm involved enough for it to be my subculture. Most people in my life have no idea I collect dolls, they tend to think I'm just more of a geek, which is good enough for me haha.
       
    2. Right now for me it is still a hobby but for many people it became a real subculture - they meet, spend their time together discussing, sharing opinions, showing off, buying hand-made accessories and other. Often they can distinguish eachother in a crowd and I findit great.
      Have recently been to a BJD con and really liked the atmosphere.
