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.

Doll Birthdays

Oct 8, 2025

    1. That would be me, if I ever got as far as the party in the first place.

    2. My Delf Moon is my oldest doll (old enough for a license and old enough to vote here now), and I remember his character birthday because he was a written character long before he was a doll. I also remember his arrival date in January because it was a Big Deal that I got myself a whole SD back then. It was something that felt very meaningful for me early in the hobby.

      Unfortunately for the others, I have a crappy memory and I’ve had a lot of dolls over the years so he’s the only one who gets that anymore. :XD:
       
    3. I have been giving my dolls birthdays based on when I receive them! So if my doll comes in March 16th, then that becomes that characters birthday. It makes it easier rather than deciding when they should have one separately. I'd like to start doing something special for each birthday, but for now I just have the dates recorded in my phone calendar.

    4. Great idea!
       
    5. All of my dolls have birthdays but not always I'm able to celebrate them due to lack of free time. I use the date of arrival for birthday. As for hybrids, I use the date of the head arrival (because the face is what makes the character). I have all the dates written down in my characters' bio charts. I tend to post photos of a doll on his/her birthday, sometimes they get props or clothes as gifts.
       
    6. Sometimes I wish I did something for their birthdays and I definitely wish I had kept better records of when they arrived, but this is pretty much how it goes with me too.

      Sometimes when I hear another person talking about their doll's birthday or it's about the time of year one of them arrived I think about trying to track down everything from photos, posts, etc (mine have also gotten spread out different places and devices by this point), but I know I'm probably not going to actually do that.
       
    7. All of my dolls’ birthdays are their Gotcha Days. The only one that really holds significance to me is my first doll’s, March 6, since it’s basically my anniversary for getting into BJDs.
