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.

Severe ongoing issues and concerns with Dollshe Dollshe Ban

Ever gotten an SO into dolls then broken up?

Nov 4, 2014

    1. I was in a long-ish relationship with my ex, and even got him into the doll hobby a bit. He bought a doll to start to enter the hobby as his own collector but then during the incredibly long waiting period, we ended up breaking up. Now that she's arrived and we're broken up, he has no interest in her and is selling her...and I'm buying her from him half out of guilt, and half out of genuine love for the sculpt (a limited that I otherwise probably couldn't buy).

      Has this or something similar ever happened to anyone else? How did you/they handle the split --how did their involvement with dolls pan out afterwards? I feel like I'm being nosy but I'm really just wondering if I'm alone in going through this

    2. Oh thats so bad, I'm sorry :(
      I wonder how you feel when you look at the doll now. I guess I wouldn't be able to bond with her. I guess I would just sell her so another one without bad memories could have fun with her.

    3. Not a romantic partner but a good friend at the time. I gave her a doll actually because she really liked mine and was getting into the idea of sewing for one of her own. But she turned out to be not the person I thought she was, and we had a falling out. The next thing I know I come home and my neighbor hands me a box says she left it while I was out. Inside is the doll and the dress she was working on half done. She didn't have to return it and I had told her so when she asked but she did it anyway to thumb her nose at me I think. It didn't have the effect she intended. I was more relieved than not actually. I couldn't really ask her for it back. It would have been very inappropriate and rude because it was a gift after all, but after the fight I just didn't want to know her anymore and I was glad to have the doll back in one piece. I didn't like that she had it anymore. Not to go into the gory details but I felt like she'd used me a lot in terms of our friendship and I was glad she gave it back because in the end I liked the doll but I didn't like her anymore. I dumped the dress in the trash though. I didn't want to finish it.

    4. Not personally, but that sounds like a really uncomfortable situation. Tbh I don't think I'd want a doll I associated with that sort of heartache. I watched a couple friends go through it a few years ago and disentangling their characters and the investment into dolls (like who gets the doll if it was a gift and you're already arguing about money?) is rough.

    5. Oh my, such sad stories Magkelly and calico! My condolences to you. I've experience something like that with other toys, not particularly with dolls, where my friend, who I had a fight with returned my gift to her. I didn't care much since it were cheap toys, but I wonder how it would be with a BJDolls. I guess I'll never know since I have no Bjd friends in real life :...(

    6. ....yea. But I was the one who bought her BJD's, because she said she liked them. I was going to get her her dream doll, a DC alberta for her birthday but we wound up breaking up. I still wonder what she did with the other BJD's I got her. I wonder a lot of things, actually. My fiance currently doesn't have any dolls, but he enjoys helping me pose them and stuff.

    7. Nope, but both me and my SO is into bjds~~
      We've been together for 6 years and just moved together when we got interest for the bjd hobby, and then we kinda got each other to get into it, and now we collect dolls together, but we do have some that's more hers than mine/more mine than hers :)
