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.

    1. I don't have any single head :sweat I don't like changing bodies, I prefer to save a bit longer and have the entire doll :)
      I'm also a bit scared of touching the BJDs strings:sweat
       
    2. I have two, a modded V2 Hound and a modded Dollmore Bonnie. For now they share bodies with another Dollshe boy and Model girl. But perhaps, down the road they will get their own bodies.
       
    3. 2 - Dollzone Fei head "The work head!"
      Unoa Sist "The I-need-a-body (now) head!"

      The Sist head will be getting a body as soon as I have the money for one >.> :D
       
    4. I had a floating head. I loved the head.. but i didnt like having a floating head D;
      so i ended up selling her. It was just feeling like "ugg.. what can i do with a heaaad?" lol

      I like to buy whole dolls... or at least get the parts at similar times xD
       
    5. I have 2 at the moment, (Iplehouse Dreaming Lion and a Dollinian). I don't think I could ever do the 'sharing body' thing. I'd rather they were just heads until I can get them bodies of their own.
       
    6. I have currently three. :)
      -Kyle: Ns Chiwoo open-eyed elf (which finally, after months, I am currently paying off a body so he won't be a floating head much longer! Yay! )
      -Valentin Nikolai: NS Angelo (he is the older less pink resin)
      -Tempest: NS Migidoll Miho (brand spanking new, sort of speak! ^-^ )

      I'd like to get bodies for all of them that they don't have to share. Sharing is a problem as they all have very different resin matches. I sort of wished the resin matched on at least two, so I they could share. ;)

      I usually buy just a head if I think that I won't be able to get one later when the price goes up (and also crazy about them :love). The Angelo at the time was a limited when I bought him but now is not a limited mold. *shrugs* I still love him though and hope to find the right body for him one day.

      I personally don't like "floating heads". And swore that I wouldn't buy another one after Angelo. I prefer whole dolls but sometimes it happens. Kyle (Chiwoo elf) I fell in love with just like that and had to have him, but at the time could only afford a head, because I had just ordered a full doll and paid for him. Ugh! Timing is everything sometimes.
       
    7. I have four:

      IH dreaming Silvia
      Volks Olvia
      DIM Minimee
      Volks Michele
       
    8. I am down to one floating Leeke Luke head. I will use him for face-up practice for awhile. It used to drive me crazy when there were more. I felt SUCH a need to complete them being a fanatic about "completeness".
       
    9. I have two, nanuri 07 and a dreaming shiwoo.
      I'm planning on selling my nanuri though since we're not really bonding.
      I do plan for my dreaming Shiwoo to get his own body one day, but for now he'll be sharing since I don't have the money to spend on him, and theres other dolls I want more first. ^^
      I don't like having to share bodies that much, since I love having my dolls up on display at all times, and I hate having to decide who's going to be on the body.
       
    10. I have one floating head, who currently shares a body with my Cecile, but luckily I'll be able to get a body for him very soon(as in, ordering it next week). I don't like floating heads at all and my Cecile's body doesn't suit my Seimei at all, it's much too floppy and chubby for him. But for the sake of bonding, I do want to see him on a body every now and then. I wouldn't get a head with the intent to 'one day' get a body for it-tried that with my Gomidoll Iru's and ended up selling them both. I knew I could get my Seimei's body soon. I'd rather miss out on the initial sale of a doll, hunt it down later and get it complete at one time(even if it's at a heftier price tag)than having bodyless heads, it's a killer for bonding for me.
       
    11. My Kill_U, Namu and Juri 07 A are all sharing the one body at the moment. They were all given to me as xmas gifts from friends so it was all a bit unexpected! I'm hoping to be able to afford bodies for them soon, because I don't like to see them just sitting on my shelf, and deciding who gets the body for today.
       
    12. Two... A CP Nanuri 07'' which is getting sold soon, and a CP Dion, who had his body stolen by my Migidoll Ryu XD

      I think Dion is going into storage though =/ I can't bare to sell him until his character has a new doll host.

      And it looks like their maybe a new floating head on it's way XD;;; A rereleased Breakaway... lol
       
    13. I've great friends. :) The times I had a floating head (Karon, Peroth), they were only such for less than a week. :sweat
      I have a rabbit candle holder that holds heads while they're waiting for a body.
       
    14. Earlier this month, I got a pair of Shiwoo Elf heads, both of whom want to be girls. Between saving up to move house, getting a computer upgrade, commissioning faceups for both of them and so on, these two are going to be bodiless for quite a while. So, I was wondering, what's the longest time for which a doll of yours was just a rolling head?
       
    15. I'm going to have a few floating heads D:
      My Bada head, once I figure out how to use paypal --poor seller-- :doh and my future Kai Minimee head~ And since I REALLY want all three Puki, I'm going to have to wait to give the two heads bodies~ Though I might be able to make the Puki-team a 16th Birthday Present xD Besides, all three for me would cost the same amount as my first doll~

      But first, I must worry about getting Paypal to work D:​
       
    16. A bunch of them...

      Modded Karon, F-17 on SD13 body, sharing it with my School A

      Karon on SD10 body, sharing with SD Mark

      Luts Moon and Nanuri'07 on LUTS boy body type2, sharing with dreaming Moon

      Leeke Min is the real floating head amongst my crew ^^; None of the bodies that I have can fit him. And I'll have a new head coming soon, I suppose he'll go to the SD10 body.
       
    17. I try to keep it to a minimum! Right now only one, VDES which is going to get a B&G boy body at some point. I no sooner completed my Dreaming Igon (bought him a body) when he went up for sale! (Those DIM Benitia's stole my soul!). I've had more floating heads at other times though.

      Now what about floating bodies??? Anyone ever build up a stockpile of bods? That's my goal!
       
    18. So a few heads gained bodies (Bambicrony elf Lotti and elf Sisley) but then they got sold. :XD: Now I'm waiting on a white Jury B, I have an Elfdoll Rem Mir that sits on an elf doll bust, and I have a floating Obitsu that has haunted me forever. I also have a floating rem Ryung that has been modified...
       
    19. Two at the moment, one UmPyo and one School C. I've been planning to get both their own bodies sometime this year :)
       
    20. I have a Nanuri 07 that should be getting a body in a couple of months. He's still in the box he was shipped in. >.>
