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. I wish I had a family that was that supportive about it. My mom nearly had a fit when I told her that I had spent around 2000 dollars on like two dolls now she doesn't konw that I have more than that. I am an adult I live with my mom because I am visually impaired and she helps me I rely on her but she just went htrough the roof. She was ok with my friends giving me their old heads and bodies if they wanted to include me in 'thier hobby' but once my mom knew they were way more than American Girl dolls she was like hell no. So sadly my family isn't as nice about the cost.

    5. My mum has a pretty good idea about their cost. She doesn't know the exact amount of money I spent on every single one of my dolls but she's well aware of their general price range and I wouldn't want it any other way.
      Even if I buy them with my own money and technically wouldn't have to tell her, I don't like keeping secrets about something that expensive. Not with her at least.

    6. My parents know the cost of my dolls, and even try to help me with getting them. Mum is trying to help me get my second doll, especially has I have to keep giving over my dolly fund money to help with bills...not that i really mind.

    7. Although I pay for my dolls myself I'm wary of telling my parents how much I spend... When my mum asks I suggest that they're much cheaper than they are. ^^;

    8. My family is fully supportive about doll's cost. And it's great =)

    9. My parents had worries with the first doll I purchased and her cost. It was all my own money though so they didn't say anything to stop me. I explained to them why I loved her, and about the hobby and they let things be but had an attitude of skepticism until she came and I opened the box. My Mom loved her the minute she saw her and and my Dad understands the customizing aspect of the hobby because he used to be into model planes and cars so we never really fought over it.

    10. My parents may know almost exactly how much my doll cost me...but I'm not planning to tell them how much her accessories are. =) Plus, I figure it'll even out...when I get a second doll (and hopefully that's a 'when' not an 'if') they can share food and stuff like that. ^_^

    11. I always thought it was convenient to tell my parents the price. My mother used to be pretty rough with my dolls (I left them downstairs to wait for me coming back from school) but once I told her they were $200+ she didn't touch them anymore :'D

      It's too bad that my Dad knows though, so now he can forbid me to buy dolls or parts. It's a shame, but I guess he's right and I should be saving for college instead of new dolls. ^^"

    12. I am in my twenties, but I still know my family would never approve. That is why I haven't even told them about my dolls. I'd just rather not be mocked for years on end.
      I'm an adult so I don't have to tell them.

    13. My family are the ones that pay for my dolls actually. Namely my mother. Just my mother and father know the price. Any other relatives such as aunts, uncles, etc would totally chew out my mother for spending so much on me and my hobby. It's something we like to do together though.

    14. Nope. My parents think my dolls were all at least $200 less than the real price I paid for them and they still freaked out over the price at first. Now that I have them thought they realized why they cost so much and even helped me buy on for Christmas, but I'm still afraid to tell them the real price I paid. :sweat

    15. My dad kind of knows, and he just wants me to earn it myself, which I will do. Mom is out of the question.

      My aunt though, she collects expensive miniatures, so she understands the whole deal with dolls and BJds. She knows, and she's my go-to person when I wanna talk about collecting.

    16. I didn't tell them a "real" price.
      If I tell them, they will confuse why I spend so much money on my hobby and they will stop me....
      So I just told them they are in cheap price. hahhaa

    17. My boyfriend and my sister know the cost of my dolls, but I can't tell it to my parents.

    19. My parents know since they paid. But they are willing as long as I'm good and keep my grades up!

    20. Even though I pay for my doll myself, I still tell my parents the price (though I clicked 'other'.) Only because they're real concerned with my finances and want to make sure I don't get ripped off or anything. When I told them my HDF Pie's prices.. negative reactions at first but after a day they calmed down, it was scary o.o
