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.

    2. Oh my gosh these posts are cracking me up!!!! I love being a part of this community! @nyaaain "Serial doll smoocher" LMAO @nyaaain @AlisonVonderland and @jessholy @Enzyme My cat gets plenty of kisses too! @babymoose96 That's a good idea, so you don't get them gooey. lol @aihre I can stare at them for hours too. @PestilenceRose If I had a reborn doll, there is no way I could avoid kissing it on the head. LOL @Esme1971 I've apologized to my dolls before too! lol like if I accidentally drop them. @Zatath I bed your stress level went down after the hug. (❤️) @blizzard-of_az Oh my gosh you crack me up! @Audrina Mystique I think about that all the time. I'm like, "oh crap, now she has my face oils on her."

    5. I kiss them on their little heads (I try to aim for the wig), their hands, and sometimes their little feet. I also will pick out a couch buddy if I'm having a bad week (that chronic illness life).

    6. Guilty and hugs, but I don't make contact. I more or less kiss their wig. I'm already weird, and I might as well keep the ball rolling.

    8. I've always kissed and gently handled all my toys and childhood dolls. i can't imagine it being any different when my first girl comes home! Her wig will always be mussed from my kisses.

    9. It’s not THAT weak though. Honestly even if you slobbered all over your doll it’s not gonna dissolve(not the face up though) Unless the doll was made with poor quality, like a recast.

    11. @Karabee This is true, one kiss won't affect that much. It's more of a cumulative thing. That's why urethane isn't used in medical devices, or why if you leave a urethane part outside and it rains, the acid in the rain could leave a little pitting on the surface of the part. You can avoid the cumulative damage by just being slightly extra cautious.
       
    12. Maybe a quick hug.

    15. No, I don't kiss them ;)
       
    16. No. I don't see them as real, or imagine them to be anything but expensive art. I display them to admire their esthetics. Kissing them would make me feel quite weirded out as an adult. But that's me.

    17. Hello!
      I have three dolls, but I kiss only one of them. I have owned this doll since 2020, but I kissed it for the first time only last year. And when I touched his cheek with my lips, he began to fall on me.) It remained unclear: was he so shocked or had he just waited too long for this?) Now I often kiss and hug him. This doll is Atsushi Sakurai:
