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. 1. I've always had an interest in miniatures, and that includes dolls.
      2/3. Yeah, I still am. My own parents said that 'boys can't like dolls' and all that when I first got them, but they're pretty chill about it now. I only take them out for local doll meets because there are a few other guys who come to them and I just sorta get lost in the crowd. But I'd never in a million years take them to school or something like that. I have a hard enough time there as it is.

    3. 1-Did you grow up liking dolls or did you only recently start to like them when you learned of the BJDs?
      (Before you read this, know that I am a girl who's just giving my opinion)
      Well, When I was younger I didnt really care much about dolls. I was more interested in chapter books. My mom introduced me to manga in 3rd grade and I fell in love with the stories. Coincidentally I found out that I used to watch anime when I was 2 years old. Then one day in 8th grade, I went online and saw an anime dollfie (Dollfie dream) and I wanted one so bad I saved up. The funny thing is, I didnt buy a dollfie dream, I got a Msd 1/4 boy! and I love him a lot

      2-Were/are you apprehensive about allowing people other than other BJD admirers see your dolls?
      Never! Well, it might be different for me being an anime artist and a cosplayer of such (sometimes) It gives you the strength to not care what others think. I love to proudly show that I am different, I am who I am and nobody can change that. In school I would brag about my Msd Boy, most of my friends (and peers) want to meet him ^^

    4. I'm really horrified to hear these stories of non acceptance towards all you guy collectors. I think it's disgraceful that in a day and age where equality is preached it's fine for a woman like me to be in to cars but some people still think it's not ok for men like you to like dolls. If I have a son and he shows more interest in my dolls than his sister then I'll give them to him instead.

    5. As a mother of 3 boys, it upset me how parents put standers on their kids, girls play with dolls boys play with cars. That's just not right, a child should play with what they want. My boys plays with dolls and cars and everything else, and I do not stop them because that is a part of who they are. I mean my boys go in my room to get a doll (not my BJD) so they can play with one. Last year from Christmas they were playing with their cousin doll and my sister "jokingly" (I put it in quotion because I know she wasn't) said oh look your boys are going to be gay! I just respond with so? that's not going to make me love them any less and the she started saying I take things to seriously and she was just joking. I hear that a lot but I don't care I love my boys and I will let them choose what they want to play with and if its dolls so be it!

      now that I got that out I admire all of you guys that even when pushed down you still continue something you love <3
