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 kind of dislike fantasy creatures. I don't have much interest in angels, devils and fairies. I'm more into the realism of BJD's.

    2. I have the opposite...I used to love a company and its dolls so much I was literally obsessed...even got sculpts from them but now I'm like 'meh' about them. I don't hate them, I just don't care anymore.

    3. Yes, the internet is full of things that can't be unseen...
      I once accidently stumbled on a site about "real dolls" thankfully I realised before I clicked on the page (thank you new tab!)

    4. Yes this has happened to me. I disliked DC dolls, because of the really long bodies, necks, arms etc. Then I kept looking at them more and more. I don't own one, but i will.

    5. I feel this way too sometimes. Companies, sculpts and even sizes. I used to LOVE the 1/4 scale but now it's my least favorite. I've sold all but two of my 1/4 dolls and I'm currently trying to sell one (but I'll keep the other forever and ever because she is my first doll and nothing can replace her).

    6. Doll Chateau in general struck me as creepy for a while and then I started to fall in love with it. Finally, interacting with my friend's DC Dennis sealed it. They've adorable!

    7. Agreed. I wasn't attracted to Harace's sculpt at all, but the beautiful makeup has completely transformed her. Iplehouse did a really good job & her expression suits the theme of a high fashion model quite well too.

    8. When I first saw Dollzone Cosmo I was like ewww he is one ugly doll but after seeing owner pics I started to like him..now I have him.
      I also didn't like Doll Chateau because I thought of concentration camps but now I have seen some beautiful ones now I am tempted..

    9. Congratulations, Minkas! :) I just saw your post in the IH waiting room and see you are getting the new HC Harace. I can completely see why you changed your mind. The new version is stunning and I think so different from the original release that it's hard to believe it's the same sculpt..

    10. Fairyland Ante. Did not like her Littlefee, pukifee, or pukipuki forms but once they made her a minifee I loved it! Ante is my first minifee.

    11. Thanks so much! Yes I am smitten by her and have caved. Now to play the waiting game for that exciting 'shipped' status update!

    12. It happens to me all the time:sigh
      Strong negative reaction - is a first step to buying))

    13. Oh ho ho ho, yes. I used to dislike Fairyland because they were so popular but I just bought my first Minifee :3 I ended up falling in love with their poseability and face/hand options.

    14. Same here! Fairyland dolls used to really bug me, and I'm still not huge on their older sculpting style or their larger dolls (although I can appreciate other people's), but then one day I just HAD to have a Puki. And then a RealPuki, and a PukiFee, and a LittleFee.... Argh. Most of those dolls have been sold on now, as I narrowed down what size I actually prefer to handle, versus the much wider array of dolls I like to see in pictures, but I still enjoy the aesthetics of most of them.

      Also, Unoa. Hated those suckers. Something about their completely similar faces really irked me on an artistic level. And then I saw a Unoa L-Bi boy for sale in the marketplace. His name was Lennox, and he was literally one of the most gorgeous dolls I've ever seen, in and of himself. Rather, I mean, than a doll who reminds me of something else. He changed my mind about the entire brand, and now I enjoy seeing them. Honestly, I wish I had been able to come up with the money to buy him, but he was twice what I could have/would have been willing to pay. :( *sniffle* I still have actual regrets about that...

    15. Same here with Doll Chateau.

    16. Yeah me too. I don't like Doll Chateau at first, but now I'm in love with Medeas.

    17. When I first saw Unidoll Ark, I was like, "Yikes! What on earth is that!?" followed by "I need him in my life!" I am now proud to say I own an Ark of my own, and he's probably my favorite doll. If I could only keep one, I think I'd keep him. (Just don't tell the others. ^_~)

    18. Nothing original here, but Doll Chateau (for the reasons everyone and their mom stated) and SWITCH. I NEED a Sensitive Dojin now after seeing some owner pics, but why on Earth did they give him a company faceup that looks like his bottom eyelids are inside-out?

    19. For me it was Volks Williams. The first time I saw him in 2006/2007, I really disliked him, so I passed up the opportunity to buy him when he was still available. Then the inevitable happened: He became my dream doll... Took me 7 years before I was able to get one on the second hand market, but I did it and never regretted it :).

    20. For me that's often certain sculpts I see that I dislike or even hate... but then all it takes is that one perfect owner picture to completely change my opinion about the sculpt and kinda makes me wanna have one too. Like, that one picture is enough to show that the sculpt has great potential after all.
      I think Migidoll Jina was one of those, and Dollshe Saint!
