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.

    1. I am the only one in my circle of friends and family! They all know about my dolls, and are act kindly enough and interested enough in what i have just finished creating for the dolls, but mostly , deep down, they think i am crazy! I have made a few online friends though which is awesome~~~But i do wish i had someone for real, in person once in a while, to share this hobby with!

    3. Sadly I do not have any friends who share my hobby. Some of them view it as weird and/or creepy, I think they're totally missing out though!

    4. My girlfriend is starting to get into the hobby. I am slowly converting her, haha.
      Other than her, no. :(

    5. 2 of my friends got me into them in the first place :)

      I was nuts about them but never found the right doll, but I have him now.
      I've met a few other people through the hobby now too and it's nice to be able to talk about it with others who know more about it than me. (I love learning new stuff <3 )

    6. No not really. :( But then again I'm too shy to go to any meets since I still don't have a doll, so hopefully joining DOA can rectify that and help me make more friends even if they're not local. :)

    7. I have a few friends with dolls and I have friends who accept my doll and one who loves my doll.

    8. Yeah! After I got my first doll my best friend fell for them too and bought her first, and now we're gradually growing more obsessed together! It's great to develop into the hobby together, although we are really bad influences on each other an encourage more spending haha!! But its so much fun making clothes and doing photo shoots. And we've now been to our first meet and met with an online friend ^^ and hoping to meet more!

    13. I dated two doll enthusiasts, who got me and at least 2 others into the hobby, and I joined here as well, and I've met cool people at cons, so yes!

    14. I have no friends in my real life who also own BJDs, but it seems that my mother is starting to get into the hobby. Yesterday she said that it would be nice to have a msd girl, because it is easy to find some really cute outfits for it.

    15. No friends interested in BJDs or any kind of doll. Actually, I have no friends with the same interests as mine :( if I like black they like white and so on.

    16. A whole community of doll friends! I was so lucky to have met them just before I bought my first doll, and between monthly doll meets (and a lot of mini-meets in between!) and almost daily web chatting, we have grown to become real friends sharing interests beyond BJD (it remains to be our main topic though ^_^).

    20. Actually the reason I got into BJDs was because of my friend who liked them.
