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 ever feel guilty for having a favorite?

Sep 19, 2014

    1. It was so much easier when I had just one doll. He was my favorite. Even though I rarely play with him any more; if it came down to getting rid of all my dolls except for one - I would keep him.
       
    2. Not at all.

      My first doll, I spent a year paying her off. She was a result of my own hardwork. She was there with me at every therapist appointment, the first time I was in the psych ward, among many other important times.

      My second doll on the other hand, was bought for me by my psycho ex-girlfriend who only bought her for me so I would ask less questions about being metally and emotionally abused by her.
      I do fund my second doll much more beautiful looking though.

      My first doll, I only bought because she was the only one left in stock at the time I had the money. The second one on the other hand, was a mold I had een yearning for for years.
      But still.

      Regardless, I feel no attachment to my second doll and I will be getting rid of her soon.
       
    3. Yeah, I'd have to say I have a favorite... Hazel, my modded Iplehouse KID Lisa hybrid tiny. Her sculpt is the ONLY sculpt I have ever seen in that size range that made me want to own it (other than her, I only collect SDs/SD+ and have no interest in expanding into other sizes). I would call her my favorite because she is so different from the SDs, so easy to carry around and play with, that I just tend to play with her and take her places a LOT more. She's a lot more of a little companion/toy than the big ones. I definitely don't feel even slightly guilty about it; dolls aren't alive and don't know the difference and it doesn't mean I don't enjoy my big dolls--- I just enjoy them differently. I really love having just one tiny---- she's so adorable and convenient! Being the only tiny does make her sort of special, but I like that. In a way, she's almost more of my personal mascot than she is part of my BJD collection.
       
    4. I'm actually very anxious, as I'll have my first MSD in a few months. She's not exactly my second doll, but I consider her a bit as my real second, as I'm selling my second doll's body. She doesn't have the same story and universe as my current BJD, she's not the same size, she will be COMPLETELY different. And even if I already love her, I just can't help but worry that I won't like her as I like my very first BJD. I need to have a deep bounding with a doll, it's very important to me, and I'm a bit afraid it won't be deep enough...
       
    5. I have two favourites (two of my oldest), and I think it's a natural thing - I don't think it's possible to like all of one's possessions equally (at least not for me), so I can't even imagine trying.
       
    6. Guilty? I wouldn't say so uvu even though there are certainly dolls I tend to favor I love each and every single doll in my collection and am really proud to have them uvu I know they will all eventually get their time of day so I'm not worried in the least!
