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.

Dolly curses/superstitions?

Aug 19, 2020

    1. The Toy Story movies had a huge impact on the way I see things like dolls, plushies, etc. The most impactful scenes for me were the toys coming to life to get revenge on Sid, and the song “When She Loved Me”.

      I’ve attempted many doll customizations over the past couple of years since I’ve been active in the hobby, and all of them ended very badly. Everything from simple restringing to hybrids to modding the body with clay. I know that to be good at something, you have to practice and it’s not always going to turn out well.

      But in this hobby, it feels less like I’m working on an art piece or a “toy” and more like I’m doing inhumane Frankenstein experiments.

      And due to the thing about my Toy Story superstition, I’m terrified to even go near the dolls I’ve worked on to try to salvage them. I’m afraid that they’ll be vengeful and angry with me for ruining their once-perfect faces and bodies, and that they’ll be upset with me for throwing them into storage whenever things didn’t pan out.

      So, now I’m starting my collection over again. I already have my newest doll on order, and this time, I’m determined to keep her “safe” from my own desire to perform “experiments”.

      This time, there will be no hybrids or modding allowed, and restringing will only happen if absolutely necessary, and with the proper tools and elastic. Things like blushing, faceups, sewing outfits, etc. are allowed, because I’m not too shabby at those things. And they’re kind of basic necessities for dolls anyway.

    2. Every. Single. Time. I restring a doll, I end up bleeding.

      At this point I just think that my dolls require a blood sacrifice to take the stringing transplant.

    3. I have really strange luck where if I am searching for another doll secondhand, I randomly find the very first doll I ever wanted. I already have this doll, which I bought many years later.I just laugh it off. It's a curse at this point. :XD:
